Der Hölle Rache - Edita Gruberova

[akherousia]

which year is this?

[hazelssister]

Edita sings the best version .

[upaa83]

hardest song for a soprano....clarity, speed, accuracy and to sustain the voice. @.@

[david1218a]

it's the best version I've heard.

[Webarton]

OH MY GOD

[BrasilianMusician]

Esse sotaque não é de alemão.

[Rapture1987]

Gorgeous, but with a little glitch at 1:06 and a slightly imprecise High F at 1:12.

She must also be greatly commended for her ENUNCIATION here, which many others completely overlook.

[robdizzle5280]

God i love her!!!

[saagua1953]

How old is she in this recording? Her voice has an unpleasant "metallic" quality to my ear that might come from age.

[CountertenorJ]

@saagua1953 She was 41 here. By operatic vocal age standards she should be in her prime.

[Nahsaghara]

Well; her technique is flawless, but the tempo is a bit fast. Then again; she is famous for her fast-paced coloratura.

[Vincenzo2010an]

nicht so gut wie in 1987.

[tenorisimo1975]

Fantastica.

[VINCENZO3002]

super!

[thomastmwc]

SUPER

[LohengrinT]

i dont believe this... Only Edita has sung this incredibly difficult aria in the last 70 years... it is amazing

[christmascarol18]

i think that it's too fast though....compared to damrau and the others...

[Hemanthemannequin]

I enjoy the tempo

[dorak8]

to big vibrato for me... :)

But it is so good! :)

[tomasburi]

I think Gruberova has the best coloraturas in this tempo. Moser is more dramatic and Damrau's performance is overally balanced.

I like also Popp (earlier performance is more precise, later one is more dramatic), Dessay (this role doesn't fit to her, but her vocal abilities are really fine). Serra and Kwon are also interesting.

[hillevifan]

thats true- but Gruberovas performance is much better

[freegman007]

She is wonderful. I think one of top 3 in this aria with Sumi Jo and June Anderson

[rterrybell]

i agree, but i'd add joan sutherland.

[mggirl85]

Sutherland never managed an F! I do admire her, but that was just NOT HER ROLE...

[ChrisStockslager]

Do you think it's rather weird that she sang an F in "O Zittre Nicht," and yet she couldn't manage it for this aria?

[thomastmwc]

I don get it....she couldn't manage what?? at which time point ?? :) tell me please，I didn't catch it

[thomastmwc]

this execution is not dramatic, or operatic, mayb, but it's so artistic

like, this doesnt show she's an evil queen here, but this execution itself is kinda perfect

agree :) ??

[DiegoMartinazzoli]

CHE AGILITà!!

[bradfordkern]

She does a nice job with this tough aria. Her high notes are just okay for me though.. Diana Damrau is better

[DiegoMartinazzoli]

SHE IS THE BEST!! BRAVA!!!!!!!!!

[leoperarm]

I hope you like this.

THANK YOU FOR COMMENTING!!!!!

[YAM466]
