Sull'aria (Le nozze di Figaro)

[musicizme317]

As great of a performance as this is, I think Susanna's vowels are extremely spread at some parts of this duet.

[hansen4]

can't you find this edition without the disturbing scratches in the recording? This

sucks!!!

[scordeteyla]

@hansen4 be glad you have the opportunity to watch it at all. it's not available anywhere else and that's the only recording i possess.

or do you think i'm some kind of videostore with several hundred copies and i decided to upload the one with the worst quality?

[papagena92]

omg I love dawn upshaw!!! both her voice AND acting are awesome - look when she sings "certo certo il capirà" (1.24) XD

[ChaffyGlitz]

So beautiful. The most beautiful song for me. The music is just fantastic and the talent of these two women makes me happy and thankful of being alive.

[BesACB]

How can something that is so light, elegant and playful be so intensely passionate at the same time?!

[Rossi2480]

sotto i pini e nel boschetto........divino

[Kuririn08]

[yuynkng]

[skiandhu12]

Ausgezeichnet!!

[lacedemonio301]

I always feel free when I´m listening this song. This is the soundtrack of freedom.

[ttt0]

this song make me cry, very nice.

[SugarPlumJade]

does anyone agree when i say that Dawn doesnt have that 'normal' thick singing voice like the other singers have? her voice is wonderful, but im hearing a bit of a difference in her voice...thanks for this video! :D

[scordeteyla]

yea, i agree, that's what i love so much about her voice! :)

[Soloblueeyes]

YES!! She keeps it light; I think it's probably the musical theatre influence. Listen to Glitter and be Gay; you can't sing a high E-flat and be heavy. I wish SO MANY singer (male and female, high and low, dramatic and lyric, etc.) would learn from her.

[justabrit]

@SugarPlumJade Yes i do ...

[IMFORRESTFORRESTGUMP]

First time I heard this at "Shawshank Redemption" and other movie but I don't remember the name.

[shinytrip]

budur abicim. dawn upshaw a bakar mısın harika bir kadın ya :)

[scordeteyla]

er... excuse me?

[shinytrip]

well i dont understand any of the words of this aria but its magnificient anyway.. :))

thanks for the clip BTW.

[scordeteyla]

you're welcome

[scordeteyla]

the song about the air:

"how gentle the breeze

will wave tonight

under the pines."

And the rest he'll understand.

He'll certainly understand.

[mwalsh2008]

"I'd like to think they were singing about something so beautiful it can't be expressed in words . . . and makes your heart ache because of it."

[trickmastermonkey]

Shawshank Redemption much eh mate?

[epos78]

Semplicemente meravigliosa!

[Kbritt7]

Dawn Upshaw is absolutely stunning! I just can't take my eyes off her!

trivia: I think she actually might be left handed but is writing right handed because of the time period. Check out her video singing "sea-gull" (great song, by the way) and she writes with her left hand in that...just something interesting :)

[some1tookmynick]

You're right - she's fantastic! So funny, and professional, and cute, and pretty, and an amazing singer!

And thanks for the trivia - I'll check that out.

[x4812k]

Dawn Upshaw plays the part of Susanna to perfection.

[amendezx]

took me a while to find it! Sheww!

[Bigby8675309]

hard to find this one. It was the song Andy played to get a month in the hole in The Shawshank Redemption. Nice!

[txngerinedream]

great recreation of a classic. mozart fa life

[scrumhalforegon]

Dawn Upshaw is amazing. Best wishes to her to recover quickly from her cancer.

[fulkthelarge]

I love this song!!! Thanks
