Edita GRUBEROVA sings "Ma la sola, ohimé, son io"

[raaadja99]

As much as I love and admire Gruberova, this is not good. Even off tune at parts and too much of mannerism.

[Eiswirth1]

Awful.

Cristo santo, che lagna... Al confronto, la Sutherland e l'Alliberti sembrano due scoppiettanti majorettes. La voce c'è, per carità, ma quanto le piace cantarsi addosso... Talmente tanto che passano in cavalleria le stonature (tipo quella ai 6:47) e gli urlacci conclusivi, e tutto ciò nonostante le ampie reti di sicurezza che il direttore le stende tutt'intorno. Si fatica a credere che sia stata la grande cantante mozartiana che è stata. Santa Mariella, protettrice del belcanto, aiutaci tu...

Bellini's poor line being mutilated by Grubby yet again.

05:20 - 06:20 - NO!!!!

@Pathetikos

Yea really ouch :S. I don't see why she scoops so much, she has/can hit the high notes without it o.O.

Certe volte la Gruberova mi lascia perplesso, ma qui è semplicemente sbalorditiva, e anche il suo solito delirante manierismo è tenuto sotto controllo. Beatrice è sempre stato il ruolo belliniano più adatto alla sua espressività e alla sua vocalità! Bravissima!

[33blueberries]

Couple of really nice trills here though, which you don't always hear from Gruberova. Ben fatto.

[33blueberries]

Well, it's Gruberova. All her glories, all her faults, and every one of her years. But this has all been discussed elsewhere. Not owning the Nightingale label Beatrice, I'm very pleased to hear her sing this particular aria.

[ChrisPaulPf]

To those who would find this performance "not so good", i invite them to do better......thanks for posting....i enjoy...

[BravaBerganza01]

My words, thank you :)

[leoperarm]

You're a genius! XDDDDDDDD

[33blueberries]

I think people can "find" this performance any way they like. Everyone's entitled to their opinions. However, fact remains, she's up there being paid, applauded and validated, and the armchair critics are confined to their armchairs. If she's happy where she is, and the critics are happy where they are, then who cares if some people don't like this performance, because everyone's happy.

[sediziosevoci]

Come on Edita! I used to love you but this...

[operaeater]

O.O

congrats, the high note is too high for her, but everything else is so fantastic!

[operadude32]

I CANNOT believe she is going to be 62 in December!

Wish I could have been there - thank you so much for posting!
