Edita Gruberova Lucrezia Borgia from Munich Com'e Bello

[Maria17088]

Muy bueno, bien elegido!

[raaadja99]

She's just a wonder of nature! I will never understand how she managed to preserve her instrument and sing in such a superb form until her age! I saw her perform live twice and it was a marvel both vocally and artistically! Brava!

[DCFunBud]

I think Com'e Bello is one of the most beautiful arias. The part at 8.40 is just heart breaking -- the interplay between the soprano and the harp. (The bass/baritone was fabulous!)

[MonsieurDarcy]

Ditto. A true tear-jerker moment indeed. The entire movement and the music motif (announced by the strings) that represents motherly endearment betraying an otherwise hard and manipulative woman could only be the product of Donizetti's genius.

I saw her in Vienna and I was speechless. It was so beautiful. I wish all her fans to see her performance live. She is the most amazing singer I have ever heard. I recorded her "Era desso"; it was perfect. I will try to post it soon.

[DiegoMartinazzoli]

@peterasap Really?? Hope to listen to it very soon!!

[peterasap]

I will see this opera in October in Vienna... I cant wait to see it...

[CendrillonRouge]

I saw it life in munich - amazing!!!

[DiegoMartinazzoli]

@CendrillonRouge Me too!! She was fantastic!!

[troppofiato]

Gruberova is truly marvelous and deserved a huge ovation, not the tepid applause herein. The staging is preposterous and silly. What nonsense passes for stage directing these days! And what's with the mishmash of dress styles? And the big letters spelling Lucrezia Borgia - afraid the audience would mistake it for Aida?

[KILLERADVICE]

In a marvellous vocal condition : Bravo Edita !

[DiegoMartinazzoli]

L'ottava meraviglia. La sua voce è espressiva ed estasiante, perché lei la sa usare!

La grandezza non ha età !!!! Tutti i detrattori della Gruberova sono pregati di non ascoltarla più e bearsi di quelle quattro galline disponibili oggi in giro per il Mondo . . . Tanto la grandezza della Gruberova non rimane scalfita da nessun commento. Risparmiatevi la fatica.

[DiegoMartinazzoli]

Ah Ah Esatto!! Concordo!! :)

[kassandra1977]

Great! Thanks for publishing.

[TheTheArtOfMusic]

BRAVA EDITA!!!

[sugercube99]

why when the lady come in she look old...like wrinkly..

[ChrisStockslager]

She looks so pretty here. Why did they change her look so drastically for "Era desso" later in the opera?

[Elisabetta611]

The red hair really suits her. Beautiul version of this aria.

[Glenmed]

A phenomenal and unique singer.  Her longevity is simply amazing.

[soraya4]

[dialectgirl]

@panovp

How was it?

[DiegoMartinazzoli]

She is fantastic!! Great, as usual. I love her!

[cephalogenic]

I first heard Gruberova in 1984 with the release of her "Virtuoso Arias" CD: I haven't heard anything of hers in the last 10 years or so, and I'm amazed that at her age the basic voice is still intact and she still has the high notes. Astonishing. Gorgeous.

[tenore23]

I will not dignify that with a response. Your comment will be removed.

[andreasscholl]

Gruberova keeps her colours!

Nothing changed in these years...

My god, who is the blondish stud?

;-)

[DukefromMantova]

That blondish stud is young Slovakian tenor Pavol Bršlík, not Breslik as could be seen on youtube...

[andreasscholl]

Thanx, he is amazing!

Not only as a singer...;-)
