@sandytheslayer. I too will be in the front row on 25 November 2011. I can't wait to be in the same room as Sumi Jo. She is the finest living human being.
Absolutely right @operafantic, she is passing every note with the requirement of composer not subordinating the aria to her habilities, she is someone who deserves the crown of extraordinary perfection
If it raises the hairs on the back of my neck that is good enough for me. I don't care about critics and experts, if it transports me into the stratosphere, she has done her job.
I'm not one for opra. But I enjoy classical. This woman has a voice that touches me inside. Not just the ears, but down in the soul. She is very gifted. Her name came up while I was looking (listening) to 'The Fifth Element' diva scene. I am sure she was the same singer and the 'Diva' scene was not enhanced. Once again, truly gifted.
@Whirlflux Thought it 'had to be Sumi'. Thanks for the correction. Sumi, awesome! Inva, awesome as well! I have to admit, and to coin what someone else described, both Sumi and Inva makes the hair stand up on the back of my neck and sends "people bumps" down my arms. (goose bumps) I don't know what makes me. But I can listen to the Diva scene (Fifth Element) over and over. Must be the oversized smurf with the tentacles. :)
The point is, you have to have such a voice - to show off! She has the voice, the technique and - last not least - the deep musicality of a diva. Which I cannot say of Dessay...
Thanks for uploading this in terrible quality. It's basically torture to hear hear wonderful voice in scratchy shit quality. I cant believe I can find 1000's of terrible rap and pop videos in 720p but not one Sumi Jo above 240. What is this world coming to? At least you uploaded it I guess....
@The4LA2Baker0 Check the date before you bitch at someone for crap video quality. This was uploaded in 2006, long before Youtube had the HD option. Hell, this was even uploaded before Google bought Youtube. Just be appreciative that there are people who even bother to upload classical performances on here. Anyway, if you don't like the quality, why don't you provide something better yourself?
please bring me an original version score which includes these passages.
I think it is quite funny to discuss things that are not written in the score. As time passes and more I get involved with my profession of musician, I get more and more against "tradition", because it brings jewels from the past but also trash. Hopefully, one can enjoy lately performances of all these mad ladies performed as romantic heroines than technique-freaks.
What's wrong with that flute player?Why does he play like that? I'm a flute player too, and I HATE when other flute players don't raise their flutes. And now some idiot will say don't like it, don't watch it,will call the name of the dude &write a whole paragraph telling me why does he play like that and that idiot will try to make me feel bad 4ignoring that. But, dude, seriously, before u write all that shit; please, ask yourself if I would give a damn what u have to say about this comment.
I have tickets to see her in London later this year in a Mozart recital! I'm going to be right at the front- I'm going to be breathing in Sumi Jo's breath...Hopefully I'll be able sing like her afterwards!
No, I like Mariella Devia very much. I heard another Italian soprano, Serena Farnocchia, sing Maria Stuarda live last spring. She was fabulous, with a big smooth voice, great coloratura and expression in a really difficult role. Check her out, if you haven't. Voigt and others are good in different repertoires. As for Dessay's Lucia, I could hardly hear her, and I was sitting downstairs.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
To me, Sumi Jo is an example of a good singer with dubious taste. She drags out the Mad Scene far too long in order to show off her technique. But her acting here is no worse than that of Natalie Dessay, who mugged and acted catatonic when I heard her sing Lucia in New York.
@operafantic Have you ever seen the score of the Mad scene of Lucia? She is just doing all the difficult things that the composer required. I can see here her serious and honest attitude towards music and composer. I know many other singers that change the scores (because they can't do or didn't make effort to do), just skips those hiralious scales, runs, etc. I cannot understand why this serious attitude towards music can be regarded as just showing off her technique for someone (like you.)
gute stimme, keine frage, aber es gibt viele, sehr viele bessere. und warum bitte sehr ignoriert sie das dirigat? unglaubliche disziplinlosigkeit. bei mir wäre sie gefeuert.
This woman is so underrated - it can't be easy being Asian in opera. Better than Dessay and Damrau, and (I know I'll get shot for saying this) even Devia. That isn't saying much, but she should have been offered half their gigs.
@gustopheles I heartily agree. Although I'm a huge Dessay fan, I've been listening to Sumi all day today and thinking the same thing. She's just...*goosebumps*
@gustopheles Hey, we like who we like. I'm a big Devia fan but I certainly admire Jo. Both could teach classes in breath control alone. Other than Caballe I don't know two sopranos with better control than Jo and Devia. Years from now (maybe sooner), we'll be asking who the new Jo's and Devia's are.
Fully agree, we all like whom we like, There will be new great singers in the future but no “new Sumi Jo”, for me there will only be ever be one, exquisite and totally unique!
@gustopheles She's not that underated! She's been at the MET and stuff. She's pretty famous...I knew who she was before I...knew who she was...if that makes sense haha =/
que impresionante no mames me dejo alucinado y eso que yo no soy de este genero de musica pero que voz tan mas perfecta es una gran artista, muy bien por ella!!!
@smoothiw yeah.. anyways i really than you a lot for posting all of sumi jo's video!!! i love her a lot and i am so happy that people like you post a lot of videos of sumi jo.. once again thank you
to everyone who thinks she is japanese cause of her look and name, her korean name is actually sukyung jo or 조수경 but she changed her name to sumi jo or 조수미 so that people can call her name easier.
she's in love with a man, but she is forced to marry someone else in an arranged marriage. on their wedding night, she stabs him to death and to the horror of the wedding guests, wanders out amongst them in a blood stained dress, deranged.
I agree with ChrisStockslager below. This otherwise wonderful performance is marred by the “look how long I can hold on to this note – even after the orchestra has stopped playing” syndrome evinced by so many modern performers.
But who is the flautist? His is a brilliant, faultless performance.
PUES NO.LA VERDAD ES QUE NO.ESE NO ERA TU DIA SUMI JO.APARTE DE QUE EL BELCANTO NO CREO QUE SEA PARA VOCESILLAS.SI ESTA ARIA TE LA PONEN CON LA INSTRUMENTACION QUE CORRESPONDE.NO SE TE OIRIA ESE HILITO VOCAL.
WONDERFUL Eb at the end (well, maybe pretty thin, but perfectly on pitch) ... but 12 seconds? Really? I think after about 7, it's just all in showing off and being a diva about it. I'm sure Sutherland could hold the same Eb just as long, if not longer, but she had the good taste to cut it off at the right time
Sumi Jo has always seemed to me to emote pure, unadulterated, stinging emotion into her vocalisations. Her passion, channeled from her heart to her voice is visceral! I feel her strong Korean voice is one of the best. She is not only power though, but constitutes the epitomy of a great singer. She has flawless technique and power and subtlety throughout her entire dynamic range, expressing a whisper soft note or a crushing, soaring one. Her nuanced delivery is always enchanting.
Puede ser que en el 53 la Callas todoavia cantaba, pero recuerda que del 60 en adelante tenia 3 registros y en los comienzos del 70 acusaba un tremolo pesado. la Sumi Jo canta 25 años la Lucia sin visos de vejez.
She is the voice!. she song the diva dance. at the moment i heard the song. wow my spirit dance it self. and this. wow she is my idol. i could't think of anywords. but this.. she got a voice of a goddest.
However, I couldn't help but notice that one of the orchestra players (The blond with her hair in a ponytail and short bangs hanging on her forhead) was moving her mouth as if she was chewing on gum... I really hope it's just how she moves her mouth.
If she really was chewing gum I hope the director spoke to her about it.
Dear Sumi Jo is a gift to humanity. An angel to treasure forever. A true privilege to see/hear this.

She's amazing.
However, I couldn't help but notice that one of the orchestra players (The blond with her hair in a ponytail and short bangs hanging on her forhead) was moving her mouth as if she was chewing on gum... I really hope it's just how she moves her mouth.
If she really was chewing gum I hope the director spoke to her about it.

Tiene razón, Lucia y no Marie, no sé en que estría pesando, tal vez en la Fille du Régiment, se em cruzaron lo cables, gracias por la observación.
