Agnes Baltsa O mio babbino caro Lauretta Gianni Schicchi

[NickYagyu]

Very good execution with passion and a most wonderous voice...quite enjoyable

[MadameBorgi]

Joder!!! me quedo sorprendido por la ignorancia de algunos comentadores que no citaré para no generar dilemas. Sólo me quedo a partir del minuto 1:07, cuando dice "Oh Dio" porque a partir de ahí es pura maravilla, pura emoción, notas como su voz se rompe por como asume el papel pidiendo piedad...y que decís del piano final, y su cara cuando mira hacia el "cielo". Única y nada que envidiarle a otras "sopranos" que hacen de esta aria una pura mecánica con fríos sentimientos... Somos seres vivos!!!

[Rospaint]

I don`t know why - she seems to me so full of life, so burning inside... Almost all the other great divas seem somehow LESS ALIVE... (And - that fierce intensity is somehow - incredibly! - combined with such impeccable refined musicianship! How could it be?) Really, I can think ONLY about the great Callas at her side...

[bodiloto]

grazie à Dio alla fine della sua carriera artistica Baltsa hà trovata la sua vera voce di....soprano leggero .

[fakiso]

One of the most beautiful voices in opera and

among the most imfortant sopranos after the

legend of Callas.Both Greeks of course!Brava Agnes!You always teach us!

[baird292]

So a good voice.. cry when I hear this :)

Very very nice voice.

[alesrebu]

cantata con tutto il cuore brava!

[Boerenfox]

Did they need to get on the train? It was too fast. Slow down madama Baltsa!

[bodiloto]

la bis  nonna !!!!!!

[giuliosing]

E' un pò troppo veloce perchè forse questa è un aria da Sorpano, infatti la Unica e Meravigliosa Agnes è un Mezzosoprano lirico. Adesso non sò per quale arcano motivo li abbiano fatto cantare quest' aria, ma per preservare la voce della Baltsa si è velocizzata un pò l'aria per non far "Sostare" la voce su fraseggi troppo sopranili, credo che sia questa la spiegazione!:)

[luigipavabartolotti]

la cantano molti mezzosoprani quest'aria.Comunqye Agnes è stupenda

[pollione86]

Si, decisamente troppo veloce, ma la voce è molto bella...

[Itnelagd]

too fast

[watchstone]

Baltsa is one of the few sopranos who can successfully traverse a variety of roles. I actually enjoy the fact that she has the radiant high notes and the power in the lower register - especially on lines like "ma per buttarmi in Arno! (I'm going to throw myself in the Arno!). Most sopranos don't have the power in this part of their voices to really deliver this line as dramatically and forcefully as the text would suggest.

[Jaydoggy531]

Agnes Baltsa is much better in her mezzo soprano roles. Her darker and richer lower register really sticks out here, and makes her seem less like a poor young girl in love, which is what we should be hearing here. Baltsa is an AMAZING singer... just should not be singing this aria.

[Bquillamus]

@Jaydoggy531 You don't know what you are talking about!!! She did sing this very well. No other soprano I've ever heard that sounds like a poor you girl than she does here.

[magghot]

mi piace..ma un pò veloce o sbaglio???

[MUSICOSO58]

Agnes Baltza posee una voz bellisima, esta versión de O mio bambino Caro supera a la cantada por Patrizia Morandini

[xilpix]

babbino

[acanthe83]

@xilpix Vous avez raison sur le fond , et c est encore "pire" avec Obrastzova, mais si toutes les "mauvaises" interprétations étaient à ce niveau, ce serait un véritable bonheur. Ce n est pas la bonne voix, mais c est une leçon de chant, de technique et son interprétation est malgré tout émouvante et pourrait servir d exemple à beaucoup de sopranos qui n ont pas de légato et des aigus tirés

[pecorarossarddu]

Un po' veloce ma eccellente.

[ronnita]

She should stick to what she does best which is mezzo stuff. She's over-brightening and it's making her sharp and flat in some places.

I will admit that she sings it with passion, but not with her real voice

[TackleTheWorld]

Wow, she never grimaces so much when she sings other arias. Usually she makes it look easy.

Sounds good anyway.

[Nhlvrnfla]

what the heck is her hurry? Sounds like she has a fire in her brithches. And not in a good way, either. But, in contrast, her vibrato slows down to a crawl. Sorry.....I still like Virginia Zeani's version the best.

[hillevifan]

I agree this is the fastest i've ever heard this aria taken!

[princessnightingale]

not many give me goosebumps... This is outstanding!

[GeorgeOfZala]

Bravissima, mi piace molto.

[CandyLinton]

OUCH!!!

[g420730a]

A very interesting version. Have not thought that this aria could be sung by a Mezzo with such a moving effect. Baltsa's performance is always with fire!

[kazimierzmichalkiwic]

quality of video and sound is so bad, anyway Baltsa is amazing opera singer. She is one who is in my Top 20 of fauvorite singers

[wenarto]

yeah, Eboli sings the innocent Lauretta - very interesting, the last cry is tooooooo dramatic...but yet convincing?

[operviva]

la gran y majestuosa eboli cantando a la inocente lauretta........interesante .........yo amo a la baltsa pero claramente eso no es para ella suna como un aria de verdi jajajjaja

[verdiotello]

Excelente Baltsa una excelenete mezzo aqui dandose el gusto de interpretar esta aria, gracias por el video.
