EDDA MOSER-DER SCHAUSPIELDIREKTOR-ICH BIN DIE ERSTE (fight)

[Vincenzo2010an]

bravi!

[Rapicienta]

La Moser esta fantásticaaa y Gedda igual, Mesple esta linda, pero creo que los dos la tapan, no solo por atractivo vocal si no el plan interpretativo....Madame Hertz es para una soprano ligero como ella pero con mas personalidad.

[thecinnamonstick]

mancano gli ultimi millisecondi!!!

un peccato!

[PecsMstr]

I had forgotten that Mesple had recroded this with Moser. I love them both.

[Jabe88]

Moser never ceases to amaze me! Full of energy!

[SamanthaVoce]

F or F# ???

[silvr94]

It's an F.

[liszt80]

Mesplé high notes (2:47) sound like polyphonic echo.

[RossiniSoprano]

Who is the moron who put these two singers together for the recording? Even if you switched which parts they sang, they could never match. Obviously, someone said, "well, we need Mady to sing the high Fs", like Edda doesn't have them....whatever! It's like a bear and a bee singing together.  :-)

[tetrazzini]

@RossiniSoprano Well said, I've always thought the same about this recording

[Jabe88]

One of the greatest dramatic coloraturas blending with one of the greatest light lyric coloraturas!

This is heaven...

[Sesto73]

Regarding the ORIGINAL cast of Mozart´s "Der Schauspieldirektor", unfortunately in THIS recording the two sopranos were mixed up. Edda Moser, though dramatic coloratura sings here the part of Mlle Silberklang which originally was intended for a lyric voice (Soubrette!) and Mesplé vice versa sings the role which was intended for a dramatic voice!

If it would have been vice versa the recording would have been near perfect. :-)

[Jabe88]

You are so right! I was also a little bit confused, when I heard Mme Herz being sang by Mesple.

I thought I had mixed up things in my head!

I wasn't wrong I suppose.

Thank you

[Sesto73]

You weren´t wrong at all! Your head & ears are perfectly all right!!! ;-)

(I could imagine that Moser was cast as Mlle Silberklang here because at that time she didn´t have the F# anymore that the role Mme Herz requires.)

[Jabe88]

And what's the highest note of Mlle Silberklang?

[Sesto73]

d´´´ :-)

[PecsMstr]

Though you can add an "F" in her aria.

[silvr94]

it's only an F

[micioamilano]

it's ONLY an F..like if it were easy to sing ;)

[silvr94]

yeah, your right! but there are higher notes!

[Jabe88]

In the classical repertoire the highest written note is Mozart's High G in Poppoli di Tessaglia.

Although many sopranos sing higher notes, I think a note is no longer really musical after an F or a G!

What's the point of a Mado Robin's High B (reaching a double C!)? Although it is surely very impressive!

[liszt80]

Well said!

[Sesto73]

...thnx!  :-)

[ermsayshello]

well Moser does add a high e flat in bester jüngling... Mesple finally just gets annoying with all her warbling meowing (but maybe that's what mozart wanted since they're two hysterical sopranos competing for a role!)

[Sesto73]

Edda Moser is simply amazing - but Mesplé sounds like a squeaking mouse, she is just terrible!!!

[carlosdevivo]

OMG incredible, bellisimo
