Vivica Genaux, "Alma oppressa", La fida ninfa, Vivaldi, live

Well whatever she did....it was brilliant!

[dliu84]

3:23~~  >_<~~

[bf2019]

Frankly....from 3:00 to 4:00.... some of the most exciting music ever made by human beings...!!! yes!!!

[tlatol12345]

Alma oppressa da sorte crudele

pensa in vano mitigar

il dolore con amore,

ch è un altro dolor.

Deh raccogli al pensiero le vele,

e se folle non sei,

ti dia pena

la catena del piè,

e non del cor

[BWV1906]

damn...vivica floored me with that ornament at 3.29...!

[BWV1906]

@BWV1906 ooops...more like 3:23. nice little manipulation of the voice...,plus very artful.

[broadwaybrotha22]

@BWV1906 Actually at 3:23 she was trying to find her pitches. You can absolutely tell that she was completely unaware of her notes.

[bf2019]

@broadwaybrotha22 Actually at 3:23 I would not say she is "finding her pitches" so much as she has gotten her breath behind the phrase, and she can't hit the leading note of the next phrase....she does this sometimes...there is the same 'guido' in Agitata de due Venti Live french Tv: you can she her frustrated with the same thing in the famous Campo video...at over 180 notes/minute she is at the edge of human capability.FRANKLY SHE BLOWS MY BALLS OFF HERE! Wow! better than Pyrotechnics LIVE!

"Viva, e regni la fede, e l'amore,

ch'è sol vanto di vera virtù.

E diffonda più vago splendore

su bel giorno, ch'egual mai non fu."

Domenico LALLI( Tigrane).

Sublimi Note ed Interpretazione!

[Gudrun74]

What a fantastic concert! The "Pyrotechnics" CD&tour were just so necessary. Especially to Alma Oppressa, I can listen in repeat mode for hours and hours ... bravissima!

[immortellino]

Viva Vivica!
