Recommendation:

La Traviata - Irantzu Bartolome

Absolutely fantastic

[adballet]

What's with out-of-control screaming? Is the tenor that scary?

[eilzomalzo]

her face does go quite funny ^_^

[adballet]

If you want to hear how those notes should sound, please go to

[Medea59]

Atemberaubend und mitreissend!!

[zoesterino]

[czerwony98]

[goofy943]

Verdi - La Traviata / Richard Eyre, Solti, Gheorghiu, Lopardo, Nucci, ROH Covent Garden (1994)

[MegaBenFranklin]

bravissimo

[vivlingdarling]

jeeze thats some vocal acrobatics she does there! Bravo!

[Michelangelo43ct]

E vero la Callas non ce piu,pero cosa dire di questa bella donna con una voce unica,un bagaglio da fare impallidire chi unque,ciao Angelo

[HealTheWorldRO]

I love this

[369vero]

wow!!! hermoso, me encantan las interpretaciones de angela, ojala algun dia pudiera hacer algo junto a JESSYE NORMAN estaria fantastico!!!!! .....dos verdaderas divas!!!

[Urcheon]

I will say, she really knows how to act deranged. Also, she knows how to sing loud.

[thespicykimmery]

:O WOW!

[mariasarda]

Bon, je n'aime pas trop le personnage de Gheorghiu, mais j'avoue aimer son timbre.Cependant, elle donne trop de force à sa Violetta, c'est pas Tosca, quand même !

[Coletta100]

Trop de force ? Bah, mais c'est la joie de vivre "Follie! Follie ! Sempre libera" !!! Elle aurait dû la chanter comment ? Comment exprime-t-on ces sentiments en opéra ?

Et, pis alors, on peut rabaisser le son car il y a le micro, pour l'enregistrement. L'opéra, on ne le chante pas au micro... :-(

[mariasarda]

C'est mon opinion. J'ai chanté aussi.

[Coletta100]

Oui, je le vois, mais elle n'est pas pertinente, mariasarda. Et tu chantais au micro ? OMD !

J'ai vécu mon enfance et adolescence dans cette atmosphere magique, je m'y

connais bien. J'ai chanté moi aussi et ma mère a également été cantatrice d'opéra. Néanmoins, il y a tant de vrais mélomans qui s'y connaissent. Tu aurais dû te rendre compte que tu n'étais pas, malheureusement, dans une salle d'opéra ! :-(

[mariasarda]

C'est mon opinion voilà tout. Et j'ai chanté du lyrique (sans micro). Stop.

[sincerity112]

i love you angela!!!

[crsh1976]

Wow.. such a voice, and good looks to go with it; a real pleasure to watch.

[vivsters96]

What, no high E?

Amazing performance though. Amazing dress.

[1401JSC]

Verdi didn't write one!

(It's an E flat BTW).

Amazing?

No trills, inarticulate triplets!

Plenty of emotion.

[charmingemily]

pretty woman in a pretty dress

[Leosaysger009]

Beautiful voice, wish I was there..... The applause sounded like thunder!

[PsiqueHathor]

te cagas en la bragas, me encanta callas ye s dificil que me guste otra voz pero esta!!! dioooooooooos!!! hermosaaaaaaa!!!

[regele34]

i like her voice, clear and strong, great voice.

[Phersephoie]

great performance, so much better than tosca, especially the acting and expression

[ExiledCarebear]

WOW such power

[CharlotteinWeimar]

Go to CharlotteinWeimar's Channel to see a delightful video of the moment on "Surprize, Surprize" when Angela Gheorghiu meets her lifelong idol, inspiration and role model, the great Romanian Soprano Virginia Zeani.

[APSdR]

Stupendi! Grazie.

[orchid4421]

wonderful big voices!!!!

[rayrac]

Wonder who the tenor is? The old man? (husband)

[emotion70]

The tenor -Frank Loppardo

(performance in Covent Garden)

[rayrac]

Thank you emotion 70!

[mafammilpiacere]

bene ..da sentire e da vedere

[spqrmor]

the best? Sooner one of the best!

[maax16]

EXCEPTIONALA!!!

[bsdvak]

The best performance of Sempre Libera!

[samscorey1]

molto bene. é magnifica!

[louiseduvee]

Her voice is amazing. How can you overdo this aria?

[GaPGiO64]

wonderful voice!!!!and magistral interpretation!!!!

[TheEpitaf]

Thank you for sharing

[sirpolopaul]

Her voice is good and thick indeed. I like her voice texture. But really she pushed it too hard. Not only this song, but nearly every song in La traviata.

[ripppop]

Sempre libera come l'Italia della casa delle libertà. E poi crepa di sifilide.

[ChiarinaJan]

in realtà si tratta di tisi. : )

[institutiemuz]

DIVINA !

[dgeenn1]

Шедевр я умиляюсь, слушая это

[Rebhappy]

oh she's wonderful--she was fantastic in La Rondine

[eufumezwinston]

great voice, she's just over doing it a little bit.

[brebtalka]

Imagine you are sitting in the last row of the audience hall... - This is called ACTING.

[eufumezwinston]

Yes well, she could do it in a more natural way, that's all i'm saying.

[lmsubramaniam]

wow, I actually didn't like Gheorghiu a great deal, until now. Her acting is really amazing here; the creamy thick quality of her voice is also incredible. Unlike a lot of singers that sing this, I actually think she makes this song sound happy, filled with maddening excitement.

[AGM1951]

I've never been a fan of hers

[ximenadore]

beautiful voice and she looks divine!!!

[MarmuraLC]

that windows specific sound at the beginning always bugs the living hell out of me

[marrieter08]

amazing ego.........

[allison3757]

Glad some people got something out of what I posted previously, which was meant to give an insider's view on the industry and ask people to be more compassionate, open-minded and less judgmental. I have removed it due to hate mail from unbalanced users. I am done with my very brief encounter with You Tube and other singing related blogs due to the poor level of social maturity in general. I'm unplugging. Thank you to those who took time to send thoughtful responses to me.

[AcademicEngineer]

Covent Garden, with superb Nucci, il tenorino Lopardo, Van Allan, con Solti

[ximenadore]

TENORINO LOPARDO???

[emila1103]

GRANDE in Italia se la sognano

[Lourdesdejesus1]

Es muy buena la Violeta de angela Goirgiou. El sempre libera es una aria muy dificil, y la canta con toda la tecnica, y belleza, muy bien, con los pianisimos, fortisismos, etc muy bien. Solo no me gusta que al final no da el Mi Bemol sobre agudo, que aunque no estä escrito, lo ha impuesto la traidicion.

Al igual que anna Nebretko, que lo termina como esta escrito.

[SorinFromRomania]

fuck ...she scream like a bitch :))

[magghot]

e si..sei proprio un'esperta/o... stonata????? ahahahahahahaha

[Angeltots]

does anyone know which production this is? -like where is was performed, and who the other singers are?

[Frienze7]

I want to say the Met, but I feel like I know this was done in another opera house...

[magghot]

1994 ROH

[scottishphotographer]

This looks like the Royal Opera House (London) production...

[CharlesButton66]

WOW

[Turee85]

se muovesse meno il collo e non urlasse così... forse forse XD

[bsdvak]

I think I her the best.

[nicholo05]

I love her interpretation....

[cadencial]

me facina esta pieza, es de mis favoritas, y adoro como la canta angela. La interpreta bellisimo

[IlBariton]

I have heard Lamara Chkonia's version. I think the styles are differents.

Georgiu is more passionated, more moving, I understand when you think more open.......I love both of them....differents but great sopranos.

I think that comparing things is good in the way that you can see how the same thing can be done perfectly but in different styles.

Thank you MissAlwaysMusic, I have discover another superb soprano!!

[steinwaygrande1]

One of the best perfromances I`ve heard . Brilliant.

[rokamuki]

gyorgyúúúúúúúú

[bizcochin01]

Sublime.........

[KindMisica]

Angela at her best !!!!

[HiddenBlueSkyline]

yürü git lan

[oneghin1799]

Diva

[OmegaMay33]

allison3757, you are so right on! Thank you.

[DorulCalator]

you are so right, allison! all the great artists who left something behind had imperfections and very oftenly these imperfections made their art particular and beautiful.

[spqrmor]

allison3757, Instead of your long monologue you could just say:"No one is perfect." The opera exists for the audience not for musicians and performancers.Professional or amature see=hear it their own ways.One thing unite all people here indeed the love to perpetual beauty of opera art. brgds

[tessa69300]

ma fille angie 18 mois adore ! et sa maman aussi !

[THESPINTO]

et son père chanter la Marseillaise. belle famille. Recevez les salutations du Mexique.

[MissAlwaysMusic]

Sorry but I think she sings too much open..she has a great talent but here, in this act, I don't like very much.....perhaphs too much voice??.....Watch Lamara Chkonia version, is old, but purest I think....more liric....here Georgiu sounds too dramatic!!!

[crackerstackers]

What language is this in?

[hipmanu]

it's in italian...:D

[jmb75018]

exceptionnel !

fantastique !

[manrico60]

Poor poor the spinto he still thinks that calling someone "gay"is an insult...people like him(bastards,son of whores,degenerates,and homophobic)are the ones that sent Oscar Wilde to jail for 2 years jest because he was "gay"....what a deplorable human being!!what a piece of mexican shit!!

I wish him and all his family a long and painful death.

[THESPINTO]

Hey do not be crue. It would hurt so much that kind of death. However Oscar Wilde was an important person, instead you're just a fuckin tranny. Get a life and go away. You stink.

[alunesifistic]

Jest that?

[Honey904ever]

meravigliosa!

[CataDanna]

Someone wrote previously in a message that the lyrics should be translated into English. They are translated, the video is subtitled in English. Perhaps that person knows only oral English language but not the written one.

[THESPINTO]

Who asked for the translation can`t read, because is mongoloid. Her eyes are crooked. And surely is gay. However, I believe the translation that he wanted is in Romanian on page 2 of this same video.

[carlottalotti]

Divina , strepitosa !

[rayrac]

Something special, no doubt about that!

[pollaccio]

Non infangate questo bellissima aria con le vostre stronzate, coglioni.

[manrico60]

Pobre the spinto sigue desesperado buscando mi atencion escribiendo hasta en rumeno...se ve que tiene un novio que le da por el culo en rumania.

Se proclama etero y casado mientras que es un hijo d e puta mexicano de mierda infame y analfabeta que solo vio una vagina cuando paso por ella(la de su puta malengendrada madre)

[mshb4]

WOW! What a voice. It gives me the chills.

[bondobooty]

manrico60 exports AIDS, you bean eating flammer. You meat gazing whore!!!!!

[manrico60]

Piece of shit republican bastard son of a whore and a faggot father

[Schollistico]

fuck...you are fucking crazy...you need help

[THESPINTO]

I totally agree with you. He (maricon60)is an insane person but I am his doctor. He was under treatment, we prescribe electroshocks and ritalin pills. But he escape from the psychiatric hospital. now he must go back and restart treatment, if not, he becomes more and more gay each day.

[manrico60]

Yes but not from a romanian bastard piece of shit like you scum of europe country of whores drug dealers and assasins

[Kathara14]

Oh, like you did to the US in the early 1900s? My, arent we quick to forget! I guess it's the pot calling the kettle black, huh>?

[manrico60]

We export culture and great cuisine you export whores drug dealers and rapists:big difference.

[Kathara14]

Right. Cause there is nothing more cultural or high class than Cosa Nostra.

[manrico60]

Yeah quite cultural so much so that we send back all your conationals thieves rapists and drug dealers

romania is the scum of europe aND THIS SOPRANO IS JUST A SINGING WHORE

[Kathara14]

Again, Cosa nostra? Seriously, this is what the world know you for, mobsters. And you have the guts to criticize others? Pathetic!

[chikis1960]

I think maricon60 is an exporter of misery ... He don`t speak english, I know because his spanish is very poor. I speak spanish as my first language and also him. In my opinion he don`t speak spanish or english correctly he just hates mankind. Yes he is pathetic and gay.

[BreezyNyGal]

I agree , obvioussly maricon60 hates the worls and he admits he's a jerk -> hence his Name ( maricon , ha ha ! ) . He's a pathetic communist voicing his frustrations over the internet and throwing mud at REAL VALUES .

[manrico60]

This is so so funny:a bitch from rumania working as a whore in the States that pretends to talk about "real values¨....I am having so much fun with all of you bastards!!

[THESPINTO]

Sper să ne amintim un pic de română. maricon60 uita regulile de bază de conduită pentru a Mujhe. Acesta este un animal şi îmi cer scuze pentru restul de oameni. Vă rugăm să nu plătesc nici o atenţie la vorbe de această persoană. acest nebun. jajaja.

[manrico60]

Tu no hablas nada de nada animal analfabeta hijo de puta fascista infame..."he don´t speak english" is that the english you know?You miserable bastard scum of the earth,

[THESPINTO]

Siempre con los mismos insultos reciclados y llenos de odio sin nada divertido que decir... Eres el mismo estupido;siempre caes irremediablemente en cualquier provocacion. Si tuvieras un poco solo un poco de sentido comun (propio) sabrias que solo se trata de un juego. En realidad te enojas y escribes rapido sin ver lo que escribes ERES solo un robot comunista muerto de hambre programado para hablar y hablar. Das lastima y compasion engendro de santa claus y rodolfo el reno.

[manrico60]

My country compared to yours is like a piece of shit compared to chocolate,you being the shit of course,

[Kathara14]

Uhu, said the mobster. I wonder how many Italians are in your highways.

[THESPINTO]

Jajaja, no highways in Cuba, They don`t have food, you believe that there are highways. Is very funny to talk to a trained animal. He is a puppet of Fidel Castro. Just that, an animal offensive and gay.

[manrico60]

Again and again: you make no sense you bitch

[manrico60]

Can anyone translate this shit into english?

[THESPINTO]

Yeah I can but I don`t want. So fuckyou. Sin embargo te entero que es lo mismo para ti en cualquier idioma. El simple recordatorio de lo triste de tu vida tu infancia llena de incestuosos momentos y tu eterna hambre... Que mas puedes esperar soy un espejo para ti... Vă rugăm să nu plătesc nici o atenţie la vorbe de această persoană. acest nebun. e puttano. Si vous préférez. Pudrete homosexual...

[ttigerlook]

for manrico60: 1st of all what she sings can't be called ''shit'' ; 2nd: if you don't like classical (oprah) music no one forces you to listen to; 3rd: for your general knowledge: oprah music is sung in the language of the composer who composed it (in this case it's about La Traviata composed by the Italian great oprah composer: Giusseppe Verdi, so it's sung in Italian); for your general knowledge: the singer is Romanian- Angela Gheorghiu) and she had to sing in Italian: BRAVO, ANGELA!!! ;)

[THESPINTO]

Yeah... this is the first intelligent comment in days. I totally agree with you. Just let me to add the following: maricon60 is gay and I love Angela Gheorghiu.

[manrico60]

Of all the messages that are trying to defend this piece of rumanian shit this is the funniest ever!!

"Oprah"....what the fuck is wrong with you,demented retarded bastard?You meant"opera"?

Get a lobotomy as soon as you can!!

[bondobooty]

I can give you a hint. "STFU" SHUT THE FUCK UP........

[manrico60]

And I will give you anothet one PORSBSOTE

PIECE OF REPUBLICAN SHIT BASTARD SCUM OF THE EARTH

[bondobooty]

Since I am dating you're mom now manrico60. We where discuss you're upcoming surgery and she was wanting to borrow some money from me to have that dildo removed from you're anal passage. I said sure but what will keep you're son from doing it again? We will talk more later. I am learning so much about you lol.

[THESPINTO]

Mr bondobooty that's not a dildo is a prosthesis; it was inserted into the pleasure centers, he requested, near the rectum. But now it is hurting the size is almost 15 inches. I have a few dollars for the operation if the mother wants. Poor maricon60 how sad is his/her life.

[bondobooty]

I appreciate the offer to help with manrico60's surgery. But before they remove the dildo from his anal passage , he needs to seek treament first. He needs to stop sticking foreign objects up is anal passage. It seems to be a illness with him. Wish him the best.

[KatiaImeldaMarcos]

By writing that you don't sound much different from him! You are falling for the same old stereotype IMHO.

[Kathara14]

Lol, you're funny.

[THESPINTO]

Che rude è questo animale  maricon60.Non tutto è come sembra. il signore maricon60, è stato violato da bambino,un docente della sua scuola lo ha sodomizzato per 10 anni. povero diavolo, io alla fine abituando. Attualmente godere introdotto falli attraverso l ano. Ma che Cosa possiamo fare qui, si tratta di youtube e non si può vietare il passaggio.

[statezitti]

sei uno dei tanti scemi che si nutre dalla tv e dalle tante balle che vi sfornano ogni giorno minzolini e co. e non vede i veri problemi di un paese, pur essendo suo paese.

[manrico60]

Li sono d'accordo con te :te ne intendi di palle(nonni,bisnonni,etc)

Tutti i tuoi antenati sono state scoppate per le starde di Roma e Firenze dagli itaiani puttanieri.

Lascia il tuo lavo di merda e parte per l'Italia a fare la mignotta,sarai richiestisima,rumena di merda.

[manrico60]

E tu peggio ancora:sei solo una puttana rumena che guadagna forse 100 euro al mese...parte per Italia e farai un sacco di soldi per le strade:sei una puttana nata.

Non ti rispondo piu:mi sa che ti piace sessualmente essere insultata.

Fancullo te ed il tuo paese di merda covo di drogati,ladri e mignotte.

Addio per sempre imbecille che non sei altro

[statezitti]

"imbecille"? avevo ragione che non sei italiano, maricon60. comunque, finiamola qui, io non vado sotto certi livelli e tu sicuramente sei la persona più inculta e scortese che ho mai "conosciuto". adio quindi resta

[manrico60]

E tu sei la piu grande stronza e puttana rumena(oltre angela)mai vista...

[Kathara14]

I see you have an obsession with Romanian, what's wrong, so many turned you down? Bummer!

[manrico60]

No I just hate people that export drug dealers,whores and assasins all over europe

[statezitti]

adio quindi resta a gallegiare nella tua merda.

[manrico60]

Merda Italiana meglio dui quella rumena

addio stronzetta!!

[KatiaImeldaMarcos]

Eh ma tu non sei italiano... prima di scrivere analfabeta a qualcuno ci penserei bene al tuo posto LOL!

[manrico60]

e tu sei soo un pezzo di merda rumena

Ma sul pezzo di merda ci possiamo anche accordare... sul rumena ti faro' sapere se mai cambiero' nazionalita'. Non riusciresti ad offendermi neanche se t'impegnassi seriamente...peace and love... hi, hi, hi.
