great show diana. Her accent floated back into german in places (e.g.: shout, Rejoice), but her EXCELLENT tone, articulation, and use of ornaments more than makes up for it. I daresay it even makes my complaint seem fussy.
3:21-3:23: The violinist has this satisfied, expectant look on his face like, "Sing it, sister"
I love watching Diana sing as much as I love listening to her. She is so full of joy and so transported. Sure she has an earthly audience, but you know who she is really singing to. :)
I really really really wanna hear her sing "Crude furie" or was it "Cr ude furie" from Serse... unfortunately I cannot telepathically let her know she needs to record it! lol.
My friend, who isn't even crazy about Damrau, has it. One weekend, when I was staying at his house, I spent the whole night watching and rewatching the DVD. I haven't seen it since! I remember the gleam in her eye and the way she turned around really quickly for the quick time with her knife.
I love this woman

I love her voice and performance of this piece, but everytime I look at her I think of scary lookin queen of the night. I think I'm scarred.

I love this version because she looks so amazingly happy while singing it.
How on earth she gets out those runs with an almost closed mouth is beyond me, but I don't care because it sounds beautiful.
