Vivaldi: Agitata da due venti (Griselda)

[kingturtje]

very nice singing here! I also like the Vivica Genaux interpretation of this aria (check it out as well)

[3F93]

Was she born in Rome? I often hear "Già s'aspetta a naufragà", not "a naufragar". :P

[TheDBuckley]

I can't explain how much I love this performance. She is literally embodying the music.

[MrBreezer76]

shes cutting to many tones and slurring to much....but nice effort

[MasisX]

Fantastic...

[adprt]

Why always compare? One can like Kermes AND Bartoli and many others... The pleasure comes from variety

[Yoavmw]

I love her but this is so sloppy...

[DearMoira4]

Lol. Absolutely love the close up on the harpsichord player's eyes.

[6EthelMerman9]

First off, Cecilia is better there's no question at all, the only good part of her singing was her last note. And secondly this isn't a funny song look up the translation...

[prreterosso]

@6EthelMerman9 Absolutely disagree: Simone is 1000 times better than Cecilia, no change for Bartoli to face her performance sorry. Brava Simone you are the best

[rix657]

@prreterosso

you're joking, right?

[sweehietysop]

@prreterosso Shure

[oliviasmulyan]

i like this but i LOVE cecilia bartolis version. so operatic!

[ivantwill]

prima und ausgezeichnet gesungen! ich glaube noch besser als c. bartoli!

[limerickguy123]

Wow! Just Wow! That's rock'n roll!! Brava!

[Inttelgal]

Awesome voice. Thank you for posting.

[drymyeye]

@horaciobadano CONGRATULATIONS to everyone who got to learn a name of an opera singer, Bartoli. what does she have to do with Kermes for gods sake?? Especially when it comes to moving on stage, they have NOTHING in common. Bartoli looks like she is being tortured to sound right, Kermes moves as she likes and cant sound as proper. where is the imitation?

[fromheretoglory]

Rather interesting performance!! Good voice!! :-)

[MeLeTi44]

nobody can do that better than cecilia bartoli

[oliviasmulyan]

@MeLeTi44 so true!

[Liszt31]

2:33 3:00 she's very very very brilliant, but all interpretation is wonderful!

[sparafucile2]

Brava !!! Pazza, ma magnifica !!!!

[schutzelb]

Not one person singing this on u-Tube looks absolutely fantastic doing it. Could it be that it is just that hard to perform?

[KAPNIZW]

Masterpiece........!!!!!

[SeladorCellardoor]

So sad that you have to put in this disclaimer. It seems to me that things have reached the point where the big companies are actually working against the dissemination of music.

[swarmnet]

She makes singing this notoriously difficult Agitata like a very fun thing to do! :) If only I have her voice! Bravo!

[Liszt31]

Dai ragazzi! é come una ventata di aria fresca questa esecuzione! Posso dire che mi ha trasmesso molto di più quest'esecuzione di molte altre di elevato valore. Molti la definiscono "fenomeno da barraccone".... Ma perché non accettare questo suo modo anticonformista di interpretare inoltre arie del 600 e 700 dove sicuramente quando venivano riproposte nei teatri dalle soprane e mezzo-soprane d'epoca le recitavano ed erano agghindate di colori ?

brava Simone!!!

[ludovicomoro]

canta benissimo ma perchè si veste e si agita come una pazza?

[helendonath]

i fa paura, questa tipa! :-(

[ashvajit]

I didn't think anyone could compare with Cecilia Bartholi's performance of this little masterpiece - but yes, Simone CAN! Brava bravissima! And what a final note - absolutely perfect.

[postpositivist]

Мне Симона Кермес сначала не нравилась, по сравнению с Чечилией Бартоли, ну что такое, низкие совсем не берёт. А потом когда я расслушал её сопрано, я просто улетел.

[BWV1906]

@musicistaroma

calm down....these arias are like old torch songs at this point..its silly to not interpret em anyway u want...hell it was written damn near 300 years ago! VIVA VIVALDI BRAVO SIMONE!

[stktrd]

She has become my absolutely FAVORITE soprano. What a magnificent voice. Her youtube and LAVA recordings are a gift to the human ear and sensibility.

[honeybunchnorman]

The German Cindy Lauper of opera. She has the most beautiful ever tonal quality to her voice. I loved her creativity on the repeat.

[ezayi]

Loved it!

[schutzelb]

Go Simone. She always makes me smile. She is one who's never lost the "joy element" along the road to professional status.

[mrmolinodelahoz]

Great musicality all around.

[TheZacharyArneson]

Also I have to say that her final note is incredibly beautiful...I love it.

[TheZacharyArneson]

I love how her movements show how much she is enjoying the music. Also, her hair is freaking sweet.

Go Simone Kermes!

[mspg2]

When you can sing like this who cares what you look like - brilliant and full of feeling. Thanks for posting it.

[merlin196]

A beautiful aria and very well sung by Simone Kermes. Thanks!
