@Cedricfollyman It's such a shame you have to be such a perfectionist that it ruins just plain ENJOYMENT. Strange that the crowd enjoyed it immensely while you were picking gnat shit out of pepper. I always enjoy listening to Anna sing, and I have never once heard her "ruin the mood". Perhaps you can do better?
So she sings this piece with her own interpretation and her style of rubato. So what of it. Stop complaining. She's out making millions and having the career of her life, and you're sitting at home "knowing more" than the professionals.
@iltenoredramatico You have a point about free interpretation. However using the excuse of "musical interpretation" is no excuse for sloppy singing (I'm speaking as a singer who is currently learning the lied in question), and admittedly there is a fine line between artistic interpretation and soiling musical integrity. Everyone is entitled to a bad performance, it happens to the best of us, but making millions is no excuse for passing off sloppiness as art.
The lead violinist is quite annoying being in her face like that. Her voice could've sounded better, if it weren't for her poor phraseology. Her tongue is all twisted with too many differrent languages; from Italian to French, to Rusian and English-it's no wonder that proper German phrasing is lacking here. Often these singers try to perform in too many idiomatic reportories. Her German here doesn't sound authentic.
Bisher war ich immer begeistert von Anna Netrebko, aber von dieser Interpretation bin ich sehr enttäuscht. Für jemanden mit dem Status eines Weltstars ist das leider eine schwache Leistung. Sie hätte sich wirklich mehr Mühe bei der Auseinandersetzung mit dem Text und mit der richtigen Phrasierung geben sollen, denn so macht die Darbietung auf mich den Eindruck, dass sie nicht weiß wovon sie da eigentlich singt und sich lieber auf ihren Namen und ihre schöne Stimme verläßt. Schade :(
I tried to give this my best shot - it's a crowded field with the likes of Te Kanawa, Norman and, still, the sublime Gundula Janowitz. Netrebko's version is annoyingly under-rehearsed. Her phrasing is haphazard and, surprisingly, she has intonation problems. This is little more than a performance by a capable student. It's pretty but in the end meaningless and therefore eminently forgettable.
Strauss Lieder requires a singer who is in complete control always, A singer whose rhythm and timing is exact and in perfect syncopation with the Piano/orchestra. If the singer loses his/her timing for even the most brief moment, the whole phrase falls and the mood is ruined. Miss. Netrebko constantly falls behind the Orchestra- At times, taking pauses which do not apear in the written score, so she may indulge in the moment, thus ruining the mood. Her diction also leaves much to be desired
@Cedricfollyman I agree for the most part, however I find no issue with indulging in the moment or improvisation as long as it doesn't amount to inserting some "variations on a theme of" mess AND, more importantly, if it doesn't affect the phrasing, which she absolutely butchers in places here.
@tasteslikechicken55 For example the slight hold on "sonne" as opposed to observing the written 8th is not egregious and if executed correctly can be beautiful (a la Björling). However she holds it and, I'm assuming as a result, she cant even phrase it to "scheinen". This is all without mentioning the absolutely inexcusable break in the middle of "sonnenatmenden" and the break in the phrase at "stummes schweigen..."!
@tasteslikechicken55 I not all familiar with Netrebko's track record, but this performance tells me that something wasn't right, whether it was just not her day, not her song, general breath support issue, or jut biting off a little more than she could indulge in.
@deeas89 Well -- it's true she doesn't have to be like others, but most of the others aren't like each other either. Difference alone is to be expected. But she does need to have an artistic feel for lieder, and she is lacking in that finesse completely. I don't think she understands the song musically, and the way she breaks phrases is only the beginning of it. And with this song any flaw is so exposed . . .
@spunkiesag12 I agree it's beautiful. I also like Wunderlich and Schwarzkopf renditions of this beautiful song. You also might want to listen to Nicholas Spanos's Morgen for comparison. It's very beautiful too.
The German she sings is ABYSMAL. This woman is a disgrace. Why the heck is she destroying all the phrases by breathing in the middle? What an awful technique. ORRORE!!!!!
MORGEN is a very sensual and heart touching song, if you follow the lyrics. Noboby is able to sing this peace adequately as long as they are not able to understand and master the German language. There are a lot of recordings of MORGEN. Lotte Lehmann, Christine Schäfer as well as Jessy Norman grasp the essential message of this peace. (by the way, Norman speaks and understand German)
Anna is a breath of fresh air in the operatic world. Callas had a lot of enemies at her time too... only time will tell. I like Netrebko, she has a pretty voice and she a gorgeous woman... that makes people mad!
Eher ein Augenschmaus. Die Interpretation ist jedoch nicht dem Lied gerecht. Sie versteht und spricht die Sprache nicht, daher kann Sie es auch nicht interpretieren. Bessere Einpielungen von Morgen sind die von Jessy Norman, Christine Schäfer (die auch in Salzburg die Hosenrolle neben der Netrebko glanzvoll sang) und eine der besten, wenn auch klanglich leider etwas schlecht, die von Lotte Lehmann.
i give anna credit..she may not be the best technical music but i think her dramatic intensity and mysteriousness makes up for it to some degree...always thought she didnt have any depth but ive changed my mind after hearing this.
¡Mientras cantantes como ésta destrozen las maravillas de la literatura musical y algo así se permita y se aplauda, la lírica seguirá perdida y acabará extinguida!
i still don't know what to think of Netrebko...sometimes i really like her way of singing, sometimes i can't stand it. in this case, i don't really like it...
Netrebko's performance was certainly better than i expected, though she appears not to give a great deal of attention to the relationship between the soprano/violin voices. This is especially obvious at "Werden wir still und langsam" (2:06). Way too much unnecessary 'rit.' - pure, egotistical indulgence.
On comparing most of the YouTube's Morgen, even at 4 min, a number of comments deem it too fast in tempo. 3'40" was definitely on the fast side. Nevertheless, the work is a masterpiece, just enjoy it.......
Yes Renée is a marvelous singer. l have heard her here in Barcelona, Lieders and operas.. Netrekko was over rated for being good looking. There are some MORGEN much, much better, , but she has very good managers, l don't believe that she is going to sing for much more, . But she is still a beautiful woman...
blondzuher, Who do you think he is? mr Gergiev is one of the directors of Maryinsky theatre responsible for the artistic and musical performances, he is the most famous and talented conductor in the world as well.
I have never read such stupid comments, even on youtube where stupid comments abound. Obviously, it is important for them to stay together and the conductor needs to follow them. So what the hell is wrong with them looking at each other? This is the way she always looks.
This is really bad taste. She is a wonderful singer and more beautiful than one is able to comprehend AND I'm a big fan of her. But the concept of flirting with the violinist is so embarrassing I could hardly watch it to the end. Ultimately, I had to push the "pause" button. Save it for the opera, please.
Ela conseguiu não me despertar nenhum sentimento.Parabéns a eles!Ironia, óbvio!Schwarzkopf,estupenda,Renée,muito boa,e outras ainda ótimas,mas Netrebko não conseguiu.E as pessoas não sabem entender que existe para cada voz um repertorio especifico que lhe cai bem,e este não é o tipo de musica pra ela.Não vi sequer expressividade,emoção que a peça pede.Gestos corporais desnecessários, não condizentes com o estilo da musica, tanto por parte dela quanto do violinista.
... seu alemão é triste, e pra quem acha q dicção nao importa pra cantor, deveria se perguntar então por que todo curso de canto possui disciplinas de fonética de varias línguas.Estes também deveram assistir às Masterclasses de cantores tão bons e renomados como Plácido Domingo e Elizabeth Schwarzkopf no YouTube e ver o que eles falam sobre dicção e texto.
She didn't make it through the first phrase, took a catch breath there, The diction is pretty lousy and mooning to the violinist looks pretty stupid -it is not a duet and looking at the audience would make a tremendous difference. Maybe even the conductor, too.
She took a breath before the end of the first phrase! Her diction is lousy and mooning to the violinist really stupid it is not a duet, you're supposed to look at the audience, and the conductor once in a while might be a good idea too.
People, she is flat in the first phrase!!!! I like her singing Puccini,WTF, her vibrato is too big for Strauss....and German diction means everything, because the composers cared just as much for the poem lyrics than the music that goes along with it....so ENUNCIATE so we know what the fuck you're singing about. god, she really frustrates me in this piece; and i hate the huge applause she gets. Zafireh, you are right. Elisabeth Schwarzkopt is my favorite singing this
This is not Rachmaninoff's Vocalise. You can't sing every song just going aaarararrraaarrr.... Correct me if I'm wrong, but I suppose it's a German song, so you sing it in German, right?
Netrebko is treating Strauss's 'Morgan' like Ella Fitzgerald singing Weill's 'Mack the Knife'. This is not jazz, so forgive me for being mildly annoyed.
Even native German people knowing the lyrics of that song by heart like me are not able to understand what she's singing here. Simply an inacceptable performance of a "Lied".
Dies ist nicht Rachmaninoffs 'Vocalise'. Sie können nicht singen jeden Song einfach nur aaarararrraaarrr .... Korrigieren Sie mich, wenn ich falsch, aber ich vermute, es ist ein deutsches Lied, so dass Sie singen in Deutsch, oder?
Netrebko ist die Behandlung von Strauss' "Morgan", wie Ella Fitzgerald singt Weills "Mackie Messer". Dies ist nicht Jazz, so vergib mir als leicht verärgert.
I don't know much about German diction or whatever, but I do enjoy this performance. There is always something to criticize in every performance. But there are definitely other things to appreciate.
Netrebko and Joshua Bell made love with Strauss, they created something unique and magic. That's art. Who cares about german diction? Does people around world all understand italian diction in opera? NO! But they are able to apreciate voices, art and vibe of singers.. So pls, less superficial comments and more ear MR Dem24utube, otherwise you cold appear ridicoulos..
Who cares about german diction???? It´s everything!! Do you know Elisabeth Schwarzkopf, or Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau? please listen to them singing, or what they say in their masterclasses! Netrebko isn´t a good singer, and i just hatet her for her italian diction! but that she now sings (ruines) Strauss, is incredible! i think that a singer must be speak the language that he´s singing!
It's as if you believe that there is this absolute PERFECT voice, or an absolut PERFECT woman. But you know what: There is no such thing existing in the world, thank God! And Anna Netrebko is "perfect" because she has a VOICE, a human voice with all its flaws and beauty. When you define what a human being really is, maybe then you can truly enjoy this wonderful talent of hers.
Can't believe ppl's racism and snobbery in most of the comments about Anna Netrebko or other talented young singers. Is this some kinda club going around commenting bad thing of every single video of her on youtube? nothing better to do? You guys are so rude. I try to enjoy this wonderful singer's performances captured on film, I absolutely adore her. You are all jalous cause she is beautiful and has an encredible voice and stage presence. What else can the reason be?
First, I confess to being a great fan of Netrebko & agree w/Her0sfan that musically this is one of the finest interpretations of this beautiful song!
But, alas, Ana, usually so well-prepared, seems to have neglected this one. She didn't even know most of the words and just faked her way through it.
I'm sure she got away with it since an English-speaking audience wouldn't know the difference. And her musicality, voice, personality, acting talent, Oh, and looks, are more than enough, aren't they?
Her looks are not enough at all. It looks like shes got nice tits, but, call me old fashioned, that was a very affected performance. More affectation than art or talent. So I agree with the nope.
i agree with you! her german is so bad, her breathing in the wrong places and she actually is not a very good soprano, what she has is a serviceable voice, thats it. and her cheap outfit with matching ghastly necklace, yes they are inconsequential but netrebko has always capitalised on her (mediocre)appearance and not on (her even more mediocre) talent. very bad performance. joshua bell though is wondrous!
One of the best performances I've heard of this song, both violin and singer. I don't know German so can't comment on the diction, but musically, she suits this piece, and there is expression in every phrase, just likethe violin too.
I think she's an outstanding actress, has a natural beauty, but her phrasing in this performance isn't as good as she could be. She could do better. She's still an amateur in ways, but so much talent!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Wow! What a violin solo. And the orchestra! They smile while flying to heaven. Great! UUps The singer: Yes. very beautiful voice. But I don´t understand ANY word. And the portamenti are TOTALLY wrong. Unmusical.
Compare that to Leontyne Price, that sings very well. Price voice is pretty good and refined,but she sings EVERY NOTE with the same intensity. Listen instead Netrebko, with a voice even more refined, how much variation in dinamic and timre, all related to the metric and "gestalt" of the melody. But the main honor of Netrebko is that she sings Verdi and Puccini with this voice too, she sings OPERA like SRAUSS LIEDER, not STRAUSS LIKE OPERA.
What happened here?a conspiracy of little unlittered? What a plethora of commonplaces:"she sings Verdi she can't sings Strauss".Why not? She already sings a Puccini refined like Strauss, and she can sing Strauss on the same level than Schwarzkopf (and only comparable whith her).Do you have ears to listen the diminuendo at the end? Pronunciation is not ALL for a singer. Study music! :-)
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
why the hell did she have to sing this? No need. Poor Strauss and all of us. German is bad, voice selfindulgand, violin horrid... If you put two stars on the stage that does not necessarily guaranty a success...
Anna Netrebko does't need to be able to do EVERYTHING! She's good at Italian Belcanto and can excel there. Strauss Lieder are a category so completely of their own, that very very few singers have not only the talent but most important the right voice to soar endlessly over a full orchestra without sounding the slightest bit strained. This music is so wrong for Anna N. as Chinese Opera would be. It's the same thing as if TeKanawa would sing Rossini. Unnecessary.
No artists have ever delivered Strauss's intentions of character more eloquently than these two. The interaction and conversation between the two is unparalleled. Any gripe that one may have with Mrs. Netrebko's German is excused, in my opinion, due to her exquisite phrasing.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
umm...try Norman, te Kanawa, Wunderlich, Bonney, Hendricks, Battle, Auger, Hagegard, Varady, L.Price, Holzmair...etc. We have very different ideas of 'exquisite phrasing'.
Bravo, Laeliapurpurata! There are the composers and songs that has NOT TO BE TOUCHED by certain kind of singers. If one wants to masturbate he can do it at home.
The German was absolutely terrible. Even Bell's playing was a bit too self-indulgent for my taste. She has a fine enough voice, and is certainly nice to look at. However, her talent lies in other repertoire. Definately not lieder.
And between "stummes" and "Schweigen" in the last line). Her German pronunciation is not good too. But her voice has a very beautiful sound. Maybe she needs lessons or feedback.
Whatever Anna did that evening she held the boisterous, but knowledgeable, proms audience in the palm of her hand. This was just part of an audaciously varied programme, all of which was memorable. Brava Anna! Come back again!
What a clutch of sad people.Netrebko may have a short term career but it is more to do with our disposable society than her.Yes Xqain you will no doubt have your usual say.We demand things of people in all walks of life that are unattainable,what for one person is a joy to listen to is to others a jangle of noise.What I feel is lacking on these sites is what Philosphers term "charity "which allows for others to be right in their own viewpoint even although it differs to ours.
Und wieder einmal hat sich der Berg gedreht und eine Maus geboren. Man muss keine Philosophen bemühen, um: "Jedem das seine." zu sagen. Ich liebe Netrebko, aber hier ist sie einfach krottenschlecht!
@Cedricfollyman It's such a shame you have to be such a perfectionist that it ruins just plain ENJOYMENT. Strange that the crowd enjoyed it immensely while you were picking gnat shit out of pepper. I always enjoy listening to Anna sing, and I have never once heard her "ruin the mood". Perhaps you can do better?

Ela conseguiu não me despertar nenhum sentimento.Parabéns a eles!Ironia, óbvio!Schwarzkopf,estupenda,Renée,muito boa,e outras ainda ótimas,mas Netrebko não conseguiu.E as pessoas não sabem entender que existe para cada voz um repertorio especifico que lhe cai bem,e este não é o tipo de musica pra ela.Não vi sequer expressividade,emoção que a peça pede.Gestos corporais desnecessários, não condizentes com o estilo da musica, tanto por parte dela quanto do violinista.

... seu alemão é triste, e pra quem acha q dicção nao importa pra cantor, deveria se perguntar então por que todo curso de canto possui disciplinas de fonética de varias línguas.Estes também deveram assistir às Masterclasses de cantores tão bons e renomados como Plácido Domingo e Elizabeth Schwarzkopf no YouTube e ver o que eles falam sobre dicção e texto.
JEANHIKER 2 years ago
She didn't make it through the first phrase, took a catch breath there, The diction is pretty lousy and mooning to the violinist looks pretty stupid -it is not a duet and looking at the audience would make a tremendous difference. Maybe even the conductor, too.

She took a breath before the end of the first phrase! Her diction is lousy and mooning to the violinist really stupid it is not a duet, you're supposed to look at the audience, and the conductor once in a while might be a good idea too.

People, she is flat in the first phrase!!!! I like her singing Puccini,WTF, her vibrato is too big for Strauss....and German diction means everything, because the composers cared just as much for the poem lyrics than the music that goes along with it....so ENUNCIATE so we know what the fuck you're singing about. god, she really frustrates me in this piece; and i hate the huge applause she gets. Zafireh, you are right. Elisabeth Schwarzkopt is my favorite singing this

@emilysd88 too big for strauss? Jessye Norman sings a lot of strauss and she is a true dramatic soprano. She has a much bigger voice than Anna.

I'm sorry, but I find it insufferably arrogant of her to stand on a stage and do that to Strauss.

This is not Rachmaninoff's Vocalise. You can't sing every song just going aaarararrraaarrr.... Correct me if I'm wrong, but I suppose it's a German song, so you sing it in German, right?
Netrebko is treating Strauss's 'Morgan' like Ella Fitzgerald singing Weill's 'Mack the Knife'. This is not jazz, so forgive me for being mildly annoyed.

Even native German people knowing the lyrics of that song by heart like me are not able to understand what she's singing here. Simply an inacceptable performance of a "Lied".

Dies ist nicht Rachmaninoffs 'Vocalise'. Sie können nicht singen jeden Song einfach nur aaarararrraaarrr .... Korrigieren Sie mich, wenn ich falsch, aber ich vermute, es ist ein deutsches Lied, so dass Sie singen in Deutsch, oder?
Netrebko ist die Behandlung von Strauss' "Morgan", wie Ella Fitzgerald singt Weills "Mackie Messer". Dies ist nicht Jazz, so vergib mir als leicht verärgert.

Netrebko and Joshua Bell made love with Strauss, they created something unique and magic. That's art. Who cares about german diction? Does people around world all understand italian diction in opera? NO! But they are able to apreciate voices, art and vibe of singers.. So pls, less superficial comments and more ear MR Dem24utube, otherwise you cold appear ridicoulos..

Who cares about german diction???? It´s everything!! Do you know Elisabeth Schwarzkopf, or Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau? please listen to them singing, or what they say in their masterclasses! Netrebko isn´t a good singer, and i just hatet her for her italian diction! but that she now sings (ruines) Strauss, is incredible! i think that a singer must be speak the language that he´s singing!
zafireh 3 years ago
It's as if you believe that there is this absolute PERFECT voice, or an absolut PERFECT woman. But you know what: There is no such thing existing in the world, thank God! And Anna Netrebko is "perfect" because she has a VOICE, a human voice with all its flaws and beauty. When you define what a human being really is, maybe then you can truly enjoy this wonderful talent of hers.

Can't believe ppl's racism and snobbery in most of the comments about Anna Netrebko or other talented young singers. Is this some kinda club going around commenting bad thing of every single video of her on youtube? nothing better to do? You guys are so rude. I try to enjoy this wonderful singer's performances captured on film, I absolutely adore her. You are all jalous cause she is beautiful and has an encredible voice and stage presence. What else can the reason be?
Prissie28 3 years ago 2
The German is atrocious, the vibrato loose, and the intonation on the high side (because of the vibrato).
What chutzpah to touch such a jewel as this song.
And guess what--she's not that good looking either.

First, I confess to being a great fan of Netrebko & agree w/Her0sfan that musically this is one of the finest interpretations of this beautiful song!
But, alas, Ana, usually so well-prepared, seems to have neglected this one. She didn't even know most of the words and just faked her way through it.
I'm sure she got away with it since an English-speaking audience wouldn't know the difference. And her musicality, voice, personality, acting talent, Oh, and looks, are more than enough, aren't they?

Her looks are not enough at all. It looks like shes got nice tits, but, call me old fashioned, that was a very affected performance. More affectation than art or talent. So I agree with the nope.

i agree with you! her german is so bad, her breathing in the wrong places and she actually is not a very good soprano, what she has is a serviceable voice, thats it. and her cheap outfit with matching ghastly necklace, yes they are inconsequential but netrebko has always capitalised on her (mediocre)appearance and not on (her even more mediocre) talent. very bad performance. joshua bell though is wondrous!
pastre999 3 years ago 3
One of the best performances I've heard of this song, both violin and singer. I don't know German so can't comment on the diction, but musically, she suits this piece, and there is expression in every phrase, just likethe violin too.

I think she's an outstanding actress, has a natural beauty, but her phrasing in this performance isn't as good as she could be. She could do better. She's still an amateur in ways, but so much talent!

Compare that to Leontyne Price, that sings very well. Price voice is pretty good and refined,but she sings EVERY NOTE with the same intensity. Listen instead Netrebko, with a voice even more refined, how much variation in dinamic and timre, all related to the metric and "gestalt" of the melody. But the main honor of Netrebko is that she sings Verdi and Puccini with this voice too, she sings OPERA like SRAUSS LIEDER, not STRAUSS LIKE OPERA.

bumbsher1 3 years ago 5
What happened here?a conspiracy of little unlittered? What a plethora of commonplaces:"she sings Verdi she can't sings Strauss".Why not? She already sings a Puccini refined like Strauss, and she can sing Strauss on the same level than Schwarzkopf (and only comparable whith her).Do you have ears to listen the diminuendo at the end? Pronunciation is not ALL for a singer. Study music! :-)

why the hell did she have to sing this? No need. Poor Strauss and all of us. German is bad, voice selfindulgand, violin horrid... If you put two stars on the stage that does not necessarily guaranty a success...
Stik to opera Anna, lied is to fragile for you.
amballa 3 years ago
Anna Netrebko does't need to be able to do EVERYTHING! She's good at Italian Belcanto and can excel there. Strauss Lieder are a category so completely of their own, that very very few singers have not only the talent but most important the right voice to soar endlessly over a full orchestra without sounding the slightest bit strained. This music is so wrong for Anna N. as Chinese Opera would be. It's the same thing as if TeKanawa would sing Rossini. Unnecessary.
BlueCougar 3 years ago
No artists have ever delivered Strauss's intentions of character more eloquently than these two. The interaction and conversation between the two is unparalleled. Any gripe that one may have with Mrs. Netrebko's German is excused, in my opinion, due to her exquisite phrasing.

I feel like I have fallen from the clouds(Baker) and landed deep in the mud(Netrebko).
Why do so many sopranos now think they can sing EVERYTHING?Netrebko seems to be trying to make this sound like Puccini or Verdi.
It takes a rare and special type of voice to sing Strauss,and it certainly ISN'T Ms Netrebko.

The German was absolutely terrible. Even Bell's playing was a bit too self-indulgent for my taste. She has a fine enough voice, and is certainly nice to look at. However, her talent lies in other repertoire. Definately not lieder.

It's a pity that her breathing is not good.
(between "wieder" and "scheinen" in line one.
And between "stummes" and "Schweigen" in the last line). Her German pronunciation is not good too. But her voice has a very beautiful sound. Maybe she needs lessons or feedback.

What a clutch of sad people.Netrebko may have a short term career but it is more to do with our disposable society than her.Yes Xqain you will no doubt have your usual say.We demand things of people in all walks of life that are unattainable,what for one person is a joy to listen to is to others a jangle of noise.What I feel is lacking on these sites is what Philosphers term "charity "which allows for others to be right in their own viewpoint even although it differs to ours.
