[rurmundo]

HORRENDLY RUBBISH FRENCH LANGUAGE AND PATETIC MUSIC,TV MEZZO BASTARDS

[Roe27Ger]

@mikaoperam I have 3 good advises for you:

1. learn to read carefully;

2. learn to understand what you have read;

3. ask questions if you do NOT understand what you read.

and then you can put a reaction. IF NECESSARY!

[Miyoshi186]

he cantado esta aria pero tengo que mejorarla ...me encanta

[UtochkinaKaterina]

What is the name of this girl? Thank you

[Xonimi]

I wish this video had translated subtitles like some do :(

Would someone translate this to English please? It would help many people.

[mavickymico]

La aria se llama v'adoro pupille de la opera de Haendel Giulio Cesare..

[walchiria08]

voix de merde.... comme tous les francaises

[AlainNaigeon]

Ah tiens, un Italien de mauvaise humeur, ça existe donc !

[walchiria08]

ah,  bien, un autre Français de merde, je savais que ça existait!

[AlainNaigeon]

Tu es vraiment très mal élevé.

[walchiria08]

mais aller en enfer

[AlainNaigeon]

Oh non, j'ai trop peur de vous y rencontrer.

evenons aux choses sérieuses : la façon dont vous vous exprimez montre que ce genre de vidéo subtile n'est pas fait pour vous ;-)

[bodiloto]

@walchiria08 LA VOCE e uno strumento con quale si nasce e muore.Nella Francia come nella tua patria esistono bellissime voci e voci di 'merda' come dici tu,e la Natura.Poi e ovvio che la scuola italiana del canto e stata migliore da quella francese...Questo soprano ha una voce bella,purtroppo canta un repertorio poco adatto e poi se ascolti con attenzione vedrai che tra le due Berganza ha una voce orrenda!Questo fatto Te non Ti disturba...perché e spagnola?

Tu non capisci nulla della lirica.

[JuliaSOPRANO]

Coulde somebody translate what T.Berganza told about high position in singing?

[vpo2g2]

Decent voice, first rate rack.

[EmilyGreene1984]

Actually this is apart of the actual aria "V'adoro pupille".

[DivaDeb1234]

Beautiful voice

[halianita]

bella voz!!!!

con un timbre precioso y  muy dulce.

gracias maestra por regalarnos tantos conocimientos.

[idraote]

This soprano is technically very green and Haendel's music has no mercy with uncouth voices: she does the aria because she's "natural" but with every note one thinks how much better the same note could have been sung.

Not to mention the awful pronunciation: one cannot understand a single word.

Ms Berganza shouldn't have chosen this one eve n because she doesn't really pay attention to her suggestions

[g4thz]

Yeah, it sounds like she has no idea about Baroque stylings at all. Not that she needs to do an "historical performance" or anything, but c'mon, girl! It's not... I don't know, Brahms (or somebody else Romantic).

If withholding vibrato and then starting it again makes something stylistic...

[Roe27Ger]

I absolutely disagree: she makes very stilish appoggiatura! It is very far removed from Brahms! Do you really know what you're talking about?

[g4thz]

There's a lot more to singing Baroque music than the ornamentation! I was just using Brahms' music as an example to refer to the heaviness in her voice. Baroque music has it's roots in dance, yeah? and therefore has to be sung with a limber voice. To me, it feels likes she's baring down on her voice.

[Roe27Ger]

I get so tired of people who regard Baroque music as something completely diffrent from all other styles. Like it's from another planet. That's completely artificial. There always has been a tradition from sing from (e.g.) Handel-Mozart-Rossini-Bellini-­Verdi-Puccini. Of course there are differences in style, but this soprano manages very well. Are you one of those people who for Baroque music only want to listen to the Emma Kirkby's in this world and not to, say, Renée Fleming?

[g4thz]

Are you one of those people who thinks Renee Fleming sings baroque music well?

No, I'm kidding. Partly. Yeah, I agree that there is a direct line, that those composers were all building on each other. I think she does some things well, but this is not a sound that I love in baroque music. I'm not saying I want her to sing straight tone or anything like that. But this is not "Baroque-enough" for me. I know that's vague... it just is or it isn't, and I don't know that I have a better explanation.

[amarantaviera]

@g4thz @Roe27Ger First of all, she's probably nervous as hell to be singing for Teresa Berganza. I know I would.

I think you're both missing the forest for the trees. She has a lovely instrument but lacks the technique to support the sound. There's no legato, and the fact that she attacks many of the notes/phrases with a straight tone then thunks into a quavery vibrato shows she's not ready to sing this stuff. Her vowels are also not pure, so the color of the language is off, too.

@Roe27Ger

[mikaopera]

@Roe27Ger i'm sorry but it's GIULIO CESARE from HAENDEL!!!! in my point of vue, you should first know you what are you talking about....

[elsupre1]

es española de pura sangre xD que esperabas zopenco? no todos somos catedráticos en 20 lenguas, o tu si? ella canta, no es bilingue ni trilingue...

[lindsaydenman]

Isn't this aria called "V'adoro pupille?"

[dynamicstuff73]

you got it!

[eternaldarkfaery666]

@lindsaydenman Yes, it is.

[eternaldarkfaery666]

@lindsaydenman Yes, it is.

[malbertmacl]

@lindsaydenman the first words she sings seem to be 'pietose vi brama'
