Edita Gruberova - Mozart - Alleluia - Exultate Jubilate

[lloydsk]

Its one of the best one but lacking JOY Mozart is praising all creation and the creator it should be filled with exuberance and abandonment

[davinapons]

Very very good, not my favorite, but very very good. For all of you with nasty comments about this performance, please give us the link to YOUR YouTube recording of this so we can see how it should be done. thank you :-)

[Swan607]

I think Edita is IDEAL for Mozart. For me , she is the best of the best.

I like a lot Lucia Popp in Mozart , too. I really like Lucia, but....Edita is so great, so perfect, her voice is sooooo beautiful. that is the number one for me.

[cantorga]

Perfectly acceptable. But light-years below Dame Kiri.

[20roberto10]

only one world:

"alleluia"

Exultate Jubilate

graciaz!!!

[zralokvemigraci]

i must confess this is the best coloratura i've ever heard.

[brisco2k]

I love simfonic music.

[homerbunny]

Perfection. I love her.

[filippo441]

She is never into the music and real interpretation. A jukebox machine....

[kamikazekate]

Beautiful! Pristine! Thank God for Sutherland and herself! Who wants to listen to Alleluia sang as if coming from a machine gun like Bartoli! Ill never understand her popularity!

[MucusFelidae]

Man, what tits !

[ButterflyRockyGirl]

she is the best!

[Rainarr]

Je t'adore ....

[SopranoLeggero]

BRAVA Gruberova!

[vivegedda]

ordinary, listen to Lucia Popp

[GeneKLM747]

Beautiful interpretation and voice...unique and original.Thanks for sharing it.

[goharners]

Supper!

[cynobitya]

This is the most effortless clean and exhillerating performance of this I have ever seen. It gives me goosebumps.

[melopedia]

Melopedia: a pesar de nó escucharse con claridad este video, Edita Gruberova está portentosa como siempre.-

[ocakavanie]

This is the best legato singing of Alleluja, grandioseness interpretation !!!

[Maggielicious21]

yo go Edita!! your my favourite Gilda!

[elisadiva]

Bravissima, diva!

[ilypaulmccartney]

This is soo good. I have to play this for solo and ensemble on my clarinet, I'm nervous (:

[bonnies1234567]

@ilypaulmccartney: Just take a deep breath! and you'll be great.

[saxonfield]

Can anyone tell me? What is the difference between coloratura and sorpano?

[kit11104]

Coloratura is when you can regulate your air flow to sing numerous amounts of notes in one measure. Such as this one, starting at 0:43, each one of those notes she's singing is separated, but you can't really tell because she's been trained as a coloratura. And soprano is..Just high pitched voice. In fact, any voice range can be a coloratura, but not every voice can be a soprano. Does that make sense? XC

[acitipo]

Bueno si amas a la Bartoli, escribe en el otro correo sobre la Cecilia, y no aqui no te parece?

[amillia007]

wow..her coloraturas are wonderful!I wish I can do it so easy as her

[sweetsoprano1211]

wow! that coloratura!!!

[leoperarm]

BEAUTIFUL

[broadwaystar2011]

Haha... 'Nuff said :D

[MandyJMaddison]

I love her voice. I Notice the comparisons to Diana Damrau, and while Damrau gives a wonderful and most joyous performance, I like Edita Gruberova's voice more.

[passerabianca]

Exactly I find Damrau is always faking it

[MisterSoprano]

Outstanding!

[tiernan87]

ohhhh.......such flawless coloratura......

[CountertenorJ]

It's pretty decent, but far from flawless -- especially considering the period style.

[mozart230647]

Celebrando la EXCELENCIA...

[operaoaf]

Great coloratura singing should always sound breathless and light and easy. Edita manages to do all in this arduous music. SHe is truly a great artist!

[hotqueekboi]

Isn't this piece meant for a more lighter, lyric soprano rather than a dramatic one?

[musicyh]

Edita is a dramatic coloratura, but she's still a coloratura - a lighter voice type. She would never be able to sing over Wagnerian singers for example, but for this piece her voice is more than suitable. Who really wants to hear Brunnhilde sing this anyway... ;)

[tuttiusati]

Listen to Cecilia Bartoli's version, which is more natural...

[Iareto]

Not vocally. She may be more into the music, but Edita's untouchable musically here. Cecilia's technique is inappropriate for Mozart.

[CountertenorJ]

@Iareto Could you give some historical evidence to support that claim, please?

[RoOodOoOloOmeg]

@CountertenorJ jkajka yeah =) Her attack to high notes (gruberova's) is the most appropriate for anything in opera.

[2010wieliczka]

@Iareto exactly.

[yourbliss888]

I love Bartoli, but don't like her choppy version of this. I prefer this interpretation. Yes, it's an Alleluia, but still Mozart.

[Brunildilla]

ttutiusati, I think this version is more natural and soft, Cecilia Bartoli´s (who is a wonderfull singer and I like so much ) version is realy a litlle harder.., Cecilia doen´t work with Mozart....

This version I think is wonderful, so natural, so soft, and with a lovely musically ,fines lines and clean coloratura.., it is absolutely perfct..

[tuttiusati]

I prefer Cecilia, because she is more into the music.. Gruberova's Alleluja is wonderful, natural, soft: perfect, but too perfect, too cold... I love the enthusiasm in the voice of Cecilia, although she is less perfect than Gruberova...

[Brunildilla]

Of course I understand you, Cecilia is a great artist , I think she is terrific and wonderful in

Barroco repertorie.

[saxamaphoneguy1]

You try Diana Damrau! She has the same voice type and talent as Gruberova, but the enthusiasm of Bartoli. it's wonderful.

[tiernan87]

AMEN! All hail Diana!

[passerabianca]

You sound like one of those who don't feel difference between Horowitz and Lang Lang

[diradour]

@saxamaphoneguy1 But still Gruberova's coloratura is flowing, completely natural that is you don't hear separation between the notes, whereas with Damrau you hear it there is all the difference.A wonderful energy is emanating from her though.

[2010wieliczka]

@tuttiusati Sorry, but Cecilia singing Alleluja in my opinion is like athlete forced to run 800m in championschip.

[2010wieliczka]

@Brunildilla It is not possible to sing it perfect but Edita was very, very close...

[anasconuto]

I don`t like her voice.. or I don't understand her voice.. that is very strange for me.. really. She is a very good singer but in can undertand her voice..

[vettae]

I think I've found my standard version of this piece!

She is really great and she sings effortlessly.

Love it!

[ejrouge]

I am not a big fan of Edita... in fact i don't like her very much, but she was great here. Thanks for posting it.

[ksmcaron]

I love her!!

[newhotmailit]

wonderful technic. she's a little sad on the halleluja. i mean it's a halleluja!!! its full of happyness and emotion. look at bartoli's exibition. cecilia is maybe too exalted, but i think it's more that way!!!

[Glenmed]

Fantastic. Never heard such clean coloratura runs - and at this speed! Wow!

[Janibeva]

wow que escoteeeeee, jajaja... Aparte de eso, canta lindo.

[gemininer]

She's indeed the queen of coloratura.

[Robertirobbie]

BRAVO Edita.

You are the Best of.

[wskfan]

This work Mozart composed for a castrato and not for a woman....:)

[Knappa22]

Bit of a squawk to reach the top note, and she slides up to it.

[operaeater]

????? i cannot believe ur comment. you cannot hear the clean coloratura runs and wonderful legato? all you see is bad things when it comes to gruberova, this is sad.

[Knappa22]

No. There are several good points to the performance.

There is no need to call someone is "sad" just because they don't share your opinions.

[operaeater]

i didn't call u sad, I thought the situation was sad.

[Knappa22]

Opinion on voices and singers is always varied and subjective.

I don't think it's a "sad" situation when someone is not of the same opinion as me - it would suggest that I believed that person to be somehow deficient or lacking in good judgement.

[operaeater]

it's not about different opinions, it's about criticising. we were not talking about gruberova's voice, but about the fact you mentioned only the scoop which is not even there! this is what I call a "sad situation";) but nevermind, let's stop arguing about this topic, it's pointless.

[Knappa22]

I believe there was a scoop - quite a pronounced one too.

And nowhere have I suggested that the performance is altogether bad. There are, as you pointed out, several good points to it.

[raymondkkng]

I Louise Fribo the best for this song. Clean, effortless and warm.

[exodus9000]

Diana Damrau ROCKS!!!!

[podimusicus]

The Queen of Coloratura!

[Bassetenator]

usually i don't like vibrato that much but she actually uses it the proper way and can stay on pitch

[swanningaround]

This is real class. She makes it seem so effortless. What a great voice.

[19911991ja]

She es good but whitout soul

[radostsguy]

Oh yes! But it would be kind of nice to know where this took place and what orchestra it is.

[kralle7611]

thats generally missing with classical pieces on youtube, dont know why.

[coloraturafan]

If you don't want these videos to be removed and accounts closed, then leaving that information out is a good thing :(

[debourget]

BEAUTIFUL SHE'S ANGEL

[novascotiawill]

How beautiful is this!!! What a magnificant voice... coloratura is impeccable. Her support is second-to-none. Pitch is wonderful also. Makes me wish I was a soprano and not a baritone, hahaha!!! Nice voice, excellent performance!

[33blueberries]

LOVEZ IT! Haha

[operamagnus]

Incredible singing! The coloratura is so smooth, and yet it is accented. This is probably the best rendition I've heard of this piece!

[jboygb]

My favorite performance of this aria as well -- how exciting!!! This woman can sing anything. A goddess!

[Hal5423]

Easily my favorite performance of this aria!

[freespiritQC]

Wow! Thank you for posting this.

It's beautiful!
