Cecilia Bartoli est un magnifique mezzo-soprano car sa voix possede á la fois le timbre de la mezzo dans les graves , le médium et le bas médium et le timbre de la soprano dans le haut médium , l´aigu et le suraigu .
Elle a également des deux dans son étendue car elle descend plus bas qu´une soprano et en a quand même les aigus . Superbe interprete et ajoutée á ses trois octaves, une sublime maîtrise de la colorature . Je pense qu´Isabella Colbran ( sol2-mi5) devait avoir un peu cette voix.
I love this lady! She can do no wrong. Great singer, great actress--gives Ms. Netrebko a run for her money!!! better dramatic expressions than boredom!!!
Great video! Thank you! As for the criticism, people like the "granten0re" who calls Jennifer Hudson an "ugly nigga" and pokes fun on true art should look in the mirror and try to find humanity underneath their racism and hate.
The beauty of a singer isn´t this Top-Model-outer-appearance-beauty, but the intensity, that´s needed, to produce high quality music. To sing notes - both, high and low - you have to work with all of your body - breath, muscles, posture...it´s like sport. Who wants to look nice while seriously singing: Listen - forget about it, you can´t have both. Who wants to see a "nice" face while listening to music: Watch out for the CD-Cover. Or change your taste to music, that´s hummed...
Poeple must must be dumb to judge her performance by her image. Im sure you have all seen the the image of the blind woman holding a balance. Obviously you can't judge if she's ugly or makes unusual faces. Her true beauty, the one you need to look, is in her voice. All the ones that made dumb comments should listen, not watch this video. Learn to appreciate.
Range is less impressive than the singer's interpretation. I've heard powerful performances from singers whose effective range was less than two octaves. I have also heard three-octave displays that had no connection to emotion and were therefore boring.
Sheer range is less impressive that what the singer in question DOES with it. I've heard powerful performances from singers whose effective range was about an octave and a third. I have also heard pyrotechnical displays from longer-ranged singers, who wouldn't have known an interpretive point --or indeed, how to communicate with an audience -- if it had bitten their buttocks.
Pero a mi me parece que cada uno tiene sus gustos, por ejemplo a mi no me gusta nadita el timbre de Maria Callas, sin embargo a muchos le fascina.... A mi me parece la Cecilia Bartoli, fenomenal, su rango de voz, su rostro muy italiano, sus actitudes y gestos, me parece simpatiquisima, sencilla.
For real singers voice range only counts sans microphone like Bartoli who's voice isn't big but is in the right place... I feel hilarious Christina Aguilera,Mariah Carey o Sarah Brightman showing off infinite voice ranges of course with a microphone shoved in the larynx
The wonder of Cecilia is her breath ability to sing rapid phrases without losing any quality of pitch. i was most impressed with her Rossini: Canzonetta Spagnuola, which demonstrates what I'm trying to convey. You must listen to the entire piece to understand. If you don't like her expression, close your eyes.
to be completely idiotic: she superman'd that note! seriously, that is some range! and the way her body moves when she sings makes it look like she's literally jumping into the song.
(She looks like she's killing the music. I bet she sounds as if she's killing the music, too. I can't bear to unmute my computer. I fear an acoustic attack.)
PARA MI HAY UNA EQUIVOCACION ACERCA DE LAS DOTES QUE TIENEN Y DE LO QUE SE PUEDE HACER..........ESTO ME PARECE UNA PAYASADA DE ALGUIEN CON COMPLEJO DE INCAPACIDAD.......CAPAZ PARA HACER LO QUE HACE Y DE LO LOGRAR LO QUE PRETENDE......Y ELLO LA LEVA A LA CRITICA ...MAS CATASTROFICA.......ZAPATERO A TUS ZAPATOS.......ESO ES EL DICHO.
BRILLIANT. MAGNIFICENT! I can reach a F to a F ( 3 octaves) but im not that amazing.. At the high E she still manages to be so powerful and have a vebratto... I sound really thin in that note.. Any tips on how to sound good on such a high note??
@Maripudelmonaco En primer lugar, es de las mejores que hay actualmente así que puede hacer lo que le dé la gana con su cara. Segundo, ella solo utiliza su instrumento. Tercero, que importa si es bonita o fea? tiene la voz de una diosa y su técnica vocal es impecable!. Cuarto, la música entra por los oídos y llega al alma, aquel que escucha con los ojos y critica con palabras sin argumentos no sabe ni siquiera apreciar la música y el fin para el que fue hecho.
I can reach the D below middle C and the D above high C.. So I have a three octave range.. But I don't sing nearly as well as her so I don't even know why I felt the need to state that fact :L
This video is quite hilarious, especially towards the end as Cecilia goes higher and higher. I think it's because her facial expressions are so amazing.
you did a great job finding and combing all those videos!!!putting the notes in the right order must have been tough even if you used the partition.. bravo!!
I'm 20 and studying vocal performance. I have about a 3-octave range right now. I'm not saying I'm so great, I'm saying isn't 4-octaves more impressive these days?
Effortless????!!!!! When she hits the high notes, she looks like she is about to give birth! I've seen her live and wasn't that impressed. At that time, her voice just didn't project the way I would have expected a trained opera singer to have. Having seen other world-class opera singers, she just didn't measure up!
@cuoredeinidi That's the worst advice I've ever heard. Actors (and opera singers, who are also actors) should NEVER be concerned with looking beautiful. They should only want to portray the character as truthfully as possible, whether that means they have to look ugly or say something ugly or make an ugly sound. That is exactly the problem with bad actors on movies and television - they aren't invested in the truth. Ugly is better.
I almost have this range!! I can sing from E3 to C6, but she definitely has me beat in sustaining the notes and volume, I'm still working on my voice.
No matter how fast, how high or how low she sings, she is so increidbly ugly, faccia da culo as the Italians call her, it just doesn't matter. She is fine in a little concert hall, but in an opera house she is almost inaudible. She looks as though she needs to go to an emergency room and find the cause of her palpatations.
@granten0re Well, I agree that her strange facial distortions & tiny voice do not make her the ideal operatic singer, but she has found quite a unique and popular home in the concert hall. Good for her, I guess not good for you? :P
@granten0re What a bitter and irrelevant comment. First you comment on her "ugliness" - which I'm having trouble seeing, as I'm enchanted by her sincerity and emotion - and then you abruptly switch to commenting on her voice, which makes me think that you have some grudge against her . . . Why? What do you gain from such negative feelings towards someone who has done so well for herself for such beautiful reasons? Personally, I love her voice, and her face is just as beautiful. :)
@granten0re Faccia da culo and tiny voice or not, she has one of the most seductive vocal qualities around, and has recorded what are, to me, definitive interpretations of many arias. As a singer myself, I'd gladly take the moniker of faccia da culo if it meant I could sing half as well as her over even 2 octaves, much less 3.
@granten0re I do not find her ugly. I also enjoy watching her because she so thoroughly loves to sing. In reference to the size of her voice, have you heard her live? She does sing opera, but her voice is better suited to music up to and including the Classical era. Many large Met voices do not perform music earlier than Mozart because of the opposite is true for them.
@granten0re What a pig you are. Elegance is surely not your prime quality to call somebody else "incredibly ugly" and "faccia da culo". I'm sure you must be a real image of beauty to judge others based on that criteria?
@granten0re She is remarkably talented & unusually accomplished. What does it matter what she looks like? No one ever complains about an instrumentalist's embouchure or how they hold their instrument. Why do some people find it necessary to share their discomfort with her expressions with the world? She obviously enjoys performing & her enthusiasm is infectious. If her performance is not to your taste then go listen to someone with a placid exterior. I find her joyful expressions charming
@carrotjuse Right! She's a great artist!!! I love her and wish she'd come to Santa Fe--I'd take her out for some good Italian food for all the musical pleasure she's given me through the years.
@granten0re What a ridiculous criticism. Bartoli has one of the magnificent and versitile mezzo voices that ever existed. She uses her facial expressions to produce a particular tone and timbre and you need to just get over it and LISTEN I don't think she's ugly at all but the public was not used to her facial expressions and chose to criticize her for that because there is NOTHING to criticize in her voice. As a mezzo, in a thousand years I could never come close to her brilliance
She's a soprano and some soprano's have this lower region too. What matters is where the strength of the voice lies. On CD-recordings her low tones sound impressive, when one hears her live, they are weaker as opposed to her brilliant light high notes.
@ScoreStudy No, E-flat below middle C to ledger line E-flat. It's not the normal range of mezzos...it's larger by about a sixth up top and a few notes under. Not many people comfortable sing every note in the range with the volume & sound required for opera...it takes YEARS of practice and effort to make it look like it's effortless. And then people still complain!
@SsteinwayS Thank you! I was only asking if G to G (right above the staff) was a comfortable range to sing for mezzos (throughout). Of course, I understand Eb to high Eb is not a usual range.
@SsteinwayS She also sing a high E natural in the aria Al tuo sen fortunato from L'anima del filosofo by Haydn and a High F in a video of a lesson with a mother in the video cecilia bartoli: A Portrait!
@getalife768 LOL too true! She is probably the most erm...*interesting* to watch of all singers today!! Besides Lady Gaga...but she relies on costumes haha
@LoboAscuridad It's not just what you have, it's how you use it... and 6 octave voices are a lie...most of those pop singer squeaks and whistles sound nothing like real notes! And she does have more, she doesn't like singing too high/low most of the time :)
@LoboAscuridad 3 octaves is actually extremely big in opera. In opera, you have to project every note over an orchestra without a microphone and even when you have a microphone, it would be about 2 meters away. In pop music, it is not too hard to have 3 octaves because you have a microphone just a millimeter away from your mouth. watch?v=6D84nvM9UHI The guy was filming from the back row but you can hear her crystal clear without a mic + she held a 27-second-note :)
@WestVoice Exactly...and she has more on the top for sure like high F's, etc. which she has done in rehearsal but artists of integrity don't squeal things just for the sake of saying "they sang an F"...it has to be in a real, authentic way. But to each their own! :)

Not many people comfortable sing every note in the range with the volume & sound required for opera...it takes YEARS of practice and effort to make it look like it's effortless. And then people still complain!

@SsteinwayS Thank you! I was only asking if G to G (right above the staff) was a comfortable range to sing for mezzos (throughout). Of course, I understand Eb to high Eb is not a usual range.

@ScoreStudy Cecilia is a coloratura. this means that she has an unusually wide range.

@SsteinwayS It's "Riedi al soglio", and it's by ROSSINI, not Bellini! It's from the opera Zelmira.

@oliviasmulyan 41 is from "Ah, fuggi il traditor" from Mozart's Don Giovanni. 42 in the red dress is "Ah non giunge" from La Sonnambula. :)

Just 3 octaves? She sounds like she has more :)
LoboAscuridad 1 year ago
@LoboAscuridad It's not just what you have, it's how you use it... and 6 octave voices are a lie...most of those pop singer squeaks and whistles sound nothing like real notes! And she does have more, she doesn't like singing too high/low most of the time :)

@SsteinwayS Yes but not Mariah ;)

@LoboAscuridad 3 octaves is actually extremely big in opera. In opera, you have to project every note over an orchestra without a microphone and even when you have a microphone, it would be about 2 meters away. In pop music, it is not too hard to have 3 octaves because you have a microphone just a millimeter away from your mouth. watch?v=6D84nvM9UHI The guy was filming from the back row but you can hear her crystal clear without a mic + she held a 27-second-note :)
WestVoice 1 year ago
@WestVoice Exactly...and she has more on the top for sure like high F's, etc. which she has done in rehearsal but artists of integrity don't squeal things just for the sake of saying "they sang an F"...it has to be in a real, authentic way. But to each their own! :)

What are the names of the arias in the first 19 seconds? I would especially like to know which aria had the low E in it.
