Casta Diva - Norma Contest - Ana María Sanchez

[magdajilek]

Bello!

[333gloria333]

a esta mujer con voz de crista, cuando era jovencita,, le dijo un dia un profesor de musica que se debia dedicar a otra cosa que no fuese la musica lirica porque no llegaria a nada! Que vista tuvo el pobre señor! entonces llegaste llorando a mi gabinete de estetica en Alicante, y yo te dije que serias una gran soprano! El tiempo me dio la razón, y desde entonces querida Ana-Maria sigo a distancia tu carrera, cantas como los angeles, pero es que ademas, eres una persona maravillosa.. ..

5/5

Awesome

[fajamaqui]

Very beautiful voice, knowledge of belcanto; better legato and major security in high notes would be necessary. Nevertheless he is lovely. Thanks for posting

[ancientLavada]

Jeez from the comments you would think that priestess' don't come in all sizes.

Kudos to those who listen and appreciate, given some of the less endowed both physically and talent wise in this contest.

[ahmad123987]

WOW, she is amazing, i think if sha was more beautiful she would be more famous then Netrebko because unfortunatly its like that these days

[isinglouderthanu]

i am loving this. reminiscent of caballe

[dulcamara66]

Devo dire che questa artista è davvero brava nel legato e nel fraseggio un po' di fatica nel Si bem ma nel complesso direi molto molto bene.

[wotansings]

Who is this singer? Don't know her, she's really good... it's true she's much better han many other performers here (I'm not talking about the acting, but appearently no stage director knows how to help singers in this prayer...).

[noncondition]

Well done Ana Maria, very good, and much better than other more famous stars ! 3.5/3.5 out of 5.

[PVcondo]

VERY beautiful voice, but I'm not convinced that this is the best opera for her voice. 4/4

[actionsrlouder]

The conducting is horrible...

[operabuff1]

This is better than I expected. I prefer her singing this piece over many other interpretations, including Anna Netrebko`s.

[noncondition]

Yes, of course ! even me than Netrebko ...

[Iareto]

Very pretty.

[leadingbyxample]

This is my first time hearing her at all. She has a very pleasing tone. I agree, much better than some of the others. 4/5

[rolocgn]

[SirGeorg]

2.5/0

[meltzerboy]

Beautiful, rich voice and solid, expressive technique. Much better than many of the other singers in this contest. 4.5/5

[theodossiou1]

alright but not great 3/3

[fiesco75]

Very Good! 4/3.5

[mikeopera]

She's clearly more than a zarzuela singer. She had a little trouble getting to the top notes at the end, but she has a beautiful, rich tone. I'll give her a 4 of 5.

[joanabanyeres]

Well I heard this voice in theatre. The voice is a bit small and besides she is too fat for the role, she cannot move well on stage. Her cabaletta is strange for she has problem with the high notes and she does some strange things to sing them, I think the voice is nice and good for spanish sarzuelas.I m sorry...

[mancax]

Well, I also heard this voice in the theatre, and I would say "the voice is pretty big". Ana María Sánchez's voice can have problems and limitations, but SIZE is not certainly one of them. And by the way, was a problem for Caballé being fat to sing Norma? "nice and good for spanish zarzuelas"!!! Do you know anything about singing, opera, spanish zarzuelas or even catalan zarzuelas? Pathetic... I am sorry...

[joanabanyeres]

No I wish I knew more, if you know about catalan zarzuelas please I should like to know, I just know, Canço damor i de guerra, i la Legiò d' honor.Nice both.

[joanabanyeres]

mancax I sang also zarzuelas and I teach some of them when I think the music is good and not

merely for the incipient public

Un abrazo amistoso

[jmahlon]

there is no cabaletta sung here. The cabaletta is not included "Ah bello a me ritorna". It clip ends at the finish of the aria proper.

[joanabanyeres]

I think that she has a pretty voice, but may be she does not choose the right repertory.

[puccinilover]

shes too fat I'm sry but we all regard Caballe as a great norma and really shes no super model it is inconcivable to me that an artist that is so wonderful would have to put up with these terrible insults we never say that about sutherland, who was never tiny by the way

[joanabanyeres]

I never thought that she is not the right Norma for her pounds, it's for another cause. The voice is hard to hear in big theatre and she is not a good actress, Norma has to be one. Viva Cedolins.

[renic17]
