  • serraaaa

    

  • Damrau is my favourite in general, but there's some tough competition between her and Serra when it comes to performing scales :)

  • 1.Desiree Rancatore

    2.Luciana Serra

    3. Erica Miclosa

    4.Clara Polito

    5. Diana Damrau

  • Para mí claramente Elena Mosuc porque domina los agudos con con gran maestría pero tiene potencia en las notas medias y es capaz de hacer las coloraturas muy limpias además de ser la que más transmite con los gestos. Diana Damrau también es excelente, le da otros matices más románticos a la pieza. A Rancatore no la había escuchado nunca, pero también me gusta.

  • I vote for Erika her voice is really from haven

  • Oh I LOVE Julie Oswath. Those are the three wrongest notes in recorded opera! Bliss..

  • DIANA IS THE BEST®

  • SERRA

  • Milagros Franco and Julie Osvath are awfull!!

  • The only one I've heard live is Serra. But Damreau really has the goods. Unfortunately she has retired the role.

  • Elena Mosuc is the best! The top note is so full and powerful. Most of the other sopranos are running away from that. It is a very difficult and Mosuc just gives a singing technique lesson, though I do believe that that was the last thing in her mind at that moment.

  • Diana puts all those other girls to shame. She was definitely more animated than the rest which made the part enjoyable to watch.

  • check out the new, beautiful, young coloratura Jeanette Vecchione - Donatti's O zittre nicht!

  • The best is of course Damrau...

  • Best singer: Serra

    Best actress: DAMRAU

    Best mise-en-scène: Dessay / Rancatore

  • milagros franco should have had the conductor take that at a slower tempo, ovrath missed it all together and what happened to the video or audio during clara politos? I like here alot!

  • some of these people suck...lol

  • Best Actress: Damrau

    Best Singer: Luciana Serra

  • did no.7 need to pee?

  • Who needs Florence Foster Jenkins with singers like Monserrat Melero, Milagros Franco and Julie Osvath? Why would someone of their skill (lack there of) attempt a piece that they simply did not have the technique for?

  • Dios mio, cuanta pedra!

  • Luciana Serra is an instrument. Perfect! Damrau has too slow coloratura and F it's too poor (head note). Nobody like SERRA

  • Luciana Serra rules!

  • Diana Damrau and Luciana Serra had the cleanest coloraturas, and Elena Musoc and Desiree Rancatore had the best high Fs.

  • nice job, thanks for sharing

  • Milagros looked as if she was in pain!

  • number 6 doesn't know what time is

    n. 7 & 8 just screamed, Not singed.

    Luciana Serra is the best

    p.s. i did't know clara polito but i think that her voice is amazing, though if she's so young

  • Conductor must hate nº 6 (Melero) for tempo makes. But her technic likes me so much.

    Polito don't likes me nothing.

    Dessay very very good, like Damrau!!

    7&8 Who are they? Are singers?

    9&10 Don't like me

  • why do #2 and #3 wear the same custom?

    is it the same production?

    miklosa's outfit rocks!!!

    also liked damrau's she looks bald LOL

  • yes, is the same production

    it's funny but Desiree Rancatore does the same rol's that Natalie

    after Natalie does it

  • Polito got a great technique!

  • Erika Miklosa has an amazing costume

  • Dessay is my favourite in general but in this performance serra is best!

  • 7 & 8 can't believe they did that

    jajaja I can sing like that that means I could be the queen?

    even if I am a contertenor

    well 7 wasn't that bad as 8

    but anyway

  • Yes, I agree, a countrotenor cold do it more better than that two " soprano"(?)

  • L. Srra is definitely the best

  • 7 & 8 should be forbidden to ever sing this role- Orribilmente certo! Oh give me back Lucia Popp, she was sensational

  • 7 & 8... terrible.

    Milagros Franco was too slow, sure, but Julie Osvath didn't even hit the note! I don't know how that made ANYONE'S top anything.

  • Casi siempre que escucho cantar esto me da la sensación de que la cantante está sufriendo muchísimo (bueno, puede que sea así). Notas agudas descontextualizadas del resto, notas cortas sin separar, vibrato que no permite diferenciarlas... Por eso me gusta Luciana Serra, delimita las notas perfectamente sin que se le note el esfuerzo, como si fuera muy fácil, haciendo que suene de un modo muy natural. Al escucharla pienso en la música y no en el esfuerzo.

  • lllluuuuuuuuuuciana  serra y diana damru

  • who is this milagros franco?

  • Osvath war die bessre Pamina, Königin war nur mit Toscanini in Salzburg gesang. Und die Photo ist nicht über Julie Osvath!!!!

  • Super Diana!!!

  • .Montserrat Melero y Milagros Franco:: maso maso

    Julie Osvath:: maso

    impresionantes Erika Miklosa y Clara Polito. Atención, cantan muuuy bien

  • Ni puta idea de opera y de canto

  • Vos no tenés idea de canto?? Bueno mirá, en el caso de Melero, Franco y Osvath, parece como si las hubieran colocado, más diría mechado entre las más grandes. Sí son grandes cantantes en sus países, no lo sé, si lo fueran, te diré que el que creo este video comparativo, no hace mucha justicia musical de ellas, puesto que en estas grabaciones estas tres cantantes o CALAN, o directamente DESAFINAN, notoriamente de por sí o bien

  • O como decía, o bien NO LLEGAN A LOS AGUDOS. Claro el no llegar a un agudo no determina que sea buena o mala cantante, ahora, si van a ponerlas al lado de TITANES como GRUBEROVA, DAMRAU, RANCATORE, DESSAY, etc, más que elogiarlas a mi me queda hacer justicia musical puesto que allí donde Damrau transita segura, Franco parece que se desbanda, como efectivamente pasa en el final, Osvath no llega donde GRUBEROVA pone el agudo final, eN Fin donde Melero le falta garra y prestancia, porque est

  • A Melero concedo la bella voz, pero está muuuuy liviana para el papel, no me la podés poner en un video comparativo con las BESTIAS que son Damrau, GRUBEROVA!!!!. Ponganlás más bien en un video de concervatorio. El resto son consagradas y son por algo.

  • No no, queria decir que vos no teneis ni puta idea de opera y canto...

  • Ah, te entiendo. Pero no lográs enojarme un ápice, porque en vez de dar tus razones, tu parecer, como hago yo, vos sustentás una no idea sin argumentos y con improperios. Salutte

  • Por otro lado VUELVO A RECALCAR, que si hacen un video comparativo, pongan versiones acordes para hacer una comparación. Es como si me pusieran un comparativo con Nilsson en estudio y en vivo, SON DOS COSAS DIREFENTE. OKAPI?

  • stoco1090 te falto florence jenkis....jajaja

    creo que luciana es excelnete pero clara polito tiene un muy peculiar timbre de voz, la que no debio ser incluida es milagros franco y Poblador no da la ultima nota mas alta,

  • poblador???? Creo que te estás confundiendo, ella canta todo el pasaje sin dificultad, y da el agudo final. Yo también me confundí con Melero, pero no Poblador, canta sin dificultad a comparación de FRANCO Y OSVATH que NO MERECEN estar aquí, ni Melero.

  • Luciana Serra for ever!!!

  • i'm agree, she's the best!!!!

  • Damrau is the best upon all for drama (she's really scary and mad), but I love gruberova and Serra. Rancatore's F is terrific but too much vibrato for me...

  • Out of all of the singers, Luciana Serra has the best technique and you can literally hear every single note sung. Diana Damrau is definitely the most captivating though with her performance and style.

  • Ditto Moteftw...Luciana's voice is pristine..Damrau's performance is riveting!

  • The reason you can hear each note in Serra's rendition is that she is aspirating. And she is doing it correctly.

  • 1)Luciana Serra 2)Elena Mosuc 3)Diana Damrau 4)Monsterrat Melero 5)Erika Miklosa 6)Natalie Dessay 7)Desiree Racantore 8)Edita Gruberova 9)Milagros Poblador 10)Clara Polito 11)Milagros Franco 12)Julie Osvath
  • you're nuts. poblador tops melero, plus melero is too timid to be the queen.

  • Nooooo!, Melero doesnt any opera version (the tempo is diferent too and slower). She is doing one concert version. All is diferent!!! The voice of Melero is one of the best of video. His tecnique too.

  • ほとんど顔を動かさずに歌えるSerraはすごい。

    Damrauも迫力はすごいけど、好き嫌い別れるでしょう。

    役柄にはとても合っていると思うし、私は嫌いじゃないけど。

    でも、みんな、すごいレベルでの話しだけどね。

  • Diana Damrau the best

  • never liked miklosa and she certainly isnt the best, but she is very very far from bad. glad i heard her here.

  • My favourite keeps being Erika Miklosa though we all know she's still young. I'm not denying Serra's talent or Damrau's voice's power :o)

  • luciana serra is the best

  • Todas son magnificas, pero el primer puesto se lo llevan Diana Damrau y Edita Gruberova.

    All og the are fantastic, but the best are Damrau and Gruberova.

    Elles sont toutes merveilleuses, mais la Damrau et la Gruberova sont mes préférées.

    Alle sind Spitz, aber für mich sind Damrau und Gruberova die besten.

  • the poor montserrat melero has a nice voice but the power of a little baby cat!

  • Elena Mosuc the best!

  • Great video!! Of course the quality of each soprano's piece is very different one from the other, but in any case Serra and Gruberova are absolutely the best above all!

  • strictly talking about the high note, I found rancatore's high f a bit ... too sharp. i found mosuc's high f the best of the bunch, and not only the high note, but the scales were also good. of course serra is great too.

  • I believe it is possible that the high F (of Rantacore's) sounded somewhat sharp to you because of the vibrato in it; she seems on-tune to me.

  • She sounds on tune to me too. What i was saying was that the sound is somewhere between a full,gorgeous,round note and a messy,almost scremed-like note. The reason for this, from what I've seen and heard (regarding Rancatore) is that she produces almost perfect high notes but only when she has the time to prepare them. Here the cadenza is pretty fast and that's why it came out this way. Mosuc also has this problem of preparing notes but she did a good job here-maybe that's why i was impressed :)

  • Oh, well then. I suppose it matters with the observer; most here tend to praise the loud note, but I found the note a bit flamboyant for the character itself; right now, the Queen must be pretending to cry out in pain.

  • Well ... actually the Queen is not crying out in pain (not in the segment/selection presented here). She laments her daughter's loss most of the aria, but towards the end, when she starts singing "du, du ...." the tone changes and she becomes hopeful that Tamino will rescue Pamina, so the high F is more like a cry of joy.

  • La Groberova è senz'altro stupenda nella coloratura,ma nessuna di queste artiste(e mestieranti,e pazze isteriche,mi riferisco alla Damrau) ha i sovracuti perfetti come la Rancatore,come è palesemente visibile,il migliore fa sovracuto è il suo,il + sonante,il + "girato" il resto è solo una cozzaglia di note di qualche artista che non so ancora per quale arcano motivo,canta in giro...la Serra,per carità,tanto di cappello,ma solo per la carriera..alle altre va il mio 0

  • c'e ne sono due che per altro stonano e vanno fuori tempo

  • Lucianna Serra for the winn ! :D

  • Luciana Serra ALL THE WAY

    after her, Diana Damrau (she's a great actress and singer, but I think she didn't did this aria as good a Der Holle Rache)

  • also Erika Miklosa is great!.....and I love the Gruberova....cool little dance she does too :p

  • serra is so killer! I love it!Damrau is a great actor and great singer...tops!

  • lol @ Julie Osvath. She's almost as bad as Florence Foster Jenkins at coloratura...

  • Damrau NAILS it.

  • I can't believe I'm saying this because Diana Damrau is my absolute favorite singer in the world and love her the best in this role altogether, but Rancatore does have an INCREDIBLE "F" in these comparisons.

  • 1. Damrau

    2. Rancatore

    3. Mosuc

    4. Poblador

    I like Dessay's other video more than this one. Better F in the other one.

    Osvath and Franco..horrible

  • No doubt! Diana Damrau!!! She is born for this role!

  • Yeah!

  • Really? Even without a trill? And that's not the only thing that wasn't perfect.

  • y además afinadísima, dotadísima y la mejor actriz

  • Absolutamente Diana Damrau. Es la unica que canta en tiempo¡¡¡¡¡

  • 1. Diana Damrau

    2. Elena Mosuc

    3. Luciana Serra

    4. Desiree Rancatore

    5. Edita Gruberova

  • Serra a melhor e mais afinada os agudos dela são perfeitos...Brava!!!

  • serra

  • GRUBEROVA!

  • You picked the worst natalie dessay o zittre nicht on youtube. Whoops.

  • In addition Montserrat Melero, Milagros Franco, Julie Osvath were absolutely terrible. If Melero is going to sing that slowly she needs to hit all the notes, Franco sang about 1/3 of the right notes and there wasn't a high F. Osvath gets a full half meausre behind the orchestra and doesn't hit the F or the D before it either. That's some sloppy coloratura right there.

  • You are RIGHT ON! I agree completely....I think a deranged poodle could sound better than Franco. And Osvath is not only dressed like a peacock in her picture, but she sounds like a peacock that is being strangled. I know that is brutal...LoL. My point is, the ladies mentioned above really need to be singing something they can succeed at instead of attempting advanced coloratura repertoire that is out of their reach.

  • @mijcummi You're so right...

  • Where's Sumi Jo? Her coloratura is very accurate, and her F firm, she should be included in this great compilation :)

  • Gruberova

    Mosuc

    Serra

    Damrau

    Olvalth y Franco were awfully careless. Miklosa is Ok (she looks like Marilyn Manson in that outfit though =P)

  • Ha ha!! XD "Marilyn Manson"

  • Damrau, Gruberova and Recantore, the only ones.

  • no scusate la REGINA fra LE REGINE è la gruberova!!! e la dessay per carità..a me patito e parzialissimo uomo,non è mai piaciuta piccola voce isterica che non è altro!

  • 1 Damrau

    2 Serra

    3 Mosuc

  • Okay, who are Milagros Franco and Julie Osvath, because they were just so dreadful I had to write this. Or maybe they were sick? Milagros Franco just was plain off, and did not have any technique. That high note was just a screeching attempt. And as for Julie, she dragged so much that the orchestra had to completely hold off and wait for her. And her last coloratura ascending arpeggio was just........ay ay ay.

  • Oh my God! You are right.

  • They all are excellent, but Luciana Serra is the best... And in the second place, Edita Gruberova. They both are perfect!

    5 Stars, Favorited. Best video of the day.

  • le migliori sono in ordine la rancatore la poblador e la dessay la gruberova ela damrau..la serra nn la prediligo in cio'...le due sconosciute sono improponibili..la miklosa e la mosuc sono due brave professioniste..e la polito e' calante in tutti i picchettati tranne che nel fa che nn e' male!

  • and the winners are: Rancatore,Gruberova,Poblador..­.unfortunately the great Dessay in this video shows the vocal problems averybody knows...but she was the most beautifull queen of the night when she had the health voice...:( a tragedy for the opera world....ma di quella che cantava in chiesa??? ma ne vogliamo parlare??? Lasciando perdere la voce, ma visto il tempo velocissimo credevo che le sarebbe scoppiatala testa alla fine ahahaha Lakmè76 tu che dici?

  • hm, Serra is great, but Poblador is also fantastic, and miklosa and gruberova have also really beautiful voices - miklosas costume is amazing! i saw Poblador live and her voice made me shiver i never felt that before it was almost creepy, but so beautiful I love her singing!

  • Miklosa was singing at the NY Met in this one, her costume was pretty cool, I saw her and Damrau preform in that version.

  • Luciana Serra is absolutely the best!!!!

  • eindeutig L.Serra

  • La Mosuc!!! :-)

    (Edda Moser, Lucia Popp, Karola Ágay, Cristina Deutekom)

  • I vote for Edda Moser! :-)

  • Luciana Serra is the best

  • No she's not.

  • she is

  • . . . she's not.

  • Yar, she's not, at least not from this performance.

  • agreed

  • she is !!!!!!!!! 100%

  • Sure. Whatever.

  • She and Diana Damrau are the really best.

  • yes she is

  • I think Milagros Franco and Julie Osvath don't sing the F6 :S!...

    Well, my favorites are Elena Mosuc, Diana Damrau, Erika Miklosa, Natalie Dessay and Luciana Serra :)

  • Que genial!!!

  • I think that the vidoe of Gruberova does not do her justice, she is the most rnowned of these and the most famous Queen of the Night and this is not by coincidence. From the others I liked Damrau, Miklosa and Mosuc in the same order as I wrote them, but Miklosa has the ugliest costume, Im afraid.

  • Dam rau Dam rau Dam rau....LOL

  • Wow. I never heard Desiree Rancatore sing this role before haha. She is quite good ;D

    My top 5 aaaare:

    1 - Diana Damrau

    2 - Elena Mosuc

    2 - Luciana Serra

    4 - Desiree Rancatore

    5 - Natalie Dessay

  • From THIS list I only love LA MOSUC!!! She is outstanding!!!

    HOW IS IT POSSIBLE THAT EDDA MOSER, CRISTINA DEUTEKOM & LUCIA POPP ARE NOT INCLUDED HERE???! ;-0)

  • because I will post new video about them

  • Serra!

  • I have never heard from some of these Queens before (specifically Mosuc, Rancatore, Melero, Poblador) but they aren't half bad. In fact, I was quite impressed with their skill. Still love Damrau for sustaining her High F (and now Mosuc, too. Brilliant).

  • but that's not what is written

  • well, I understand that. but it's just a personal aesthetic choice. and i don't think it hurts.

  • the high E-flat at the end of Violetta's aria isn't written either... opera singers do what they like - look at Julia Osváth! What the f*** was she doing. I can't blame Franco... not even Damrau could sing it that fast!

  • polito is the most dramtic in this video, I love your voice

  • I totally agree!!

    I played her part about 10 times!!

    I enjoy that in her voice!

  • her voice is very unique

  • In this video: 1-Mosuc 2-Gruberova 2-dessay 3-Polito 4-Serra 5-Damrau 6-Miklosa 7-Rancatore 8-Melero 10-Franco 11-Osvath (Horrible coloratura)
  • Gruberova

    Serra

    Dessay

    Miklosa

    Damrau (whose overaction and overaspiration i just hate, but who is a great artist otherwise)

    Polito (who I think is not bad)

  • Serra is like a machine with her coloratura, but I think Dessay and Damrau have the best sounding high notes. Mosuc was quite good, as was Gruberova. I liked Polito's sound quite a bit but it's too bad she missed the first high note and overshot the F. But #'s 6,7, and 8... well... maybe the queen isn't the perfect role for them...

  • 1- Mosuc

    2- Melero

    3- Damrau

  • I like Mosuc. I love her face when she does the f

    Here is my list

    1. Mosuc

    2. Serra

  • I love Diana Damrau on the "Hölle rache" but I gotta admit that here Luciana Serra is much better. She has so much more control and is perfect on breathing!

  • damrau uber alles!!!!!!!!

  • best acting is damrau, worst total is franco.

  • 1).-Diana Damrau

    2).-Luciana Serra

    3).-Desiree Rancatore

    4).-Edita Gruberova

    5).-Clara Polito

  • Gruberova, Serra, Rancatore are excellent

    Mossuc and Polito are good

  • Dessay, Rancatore, Damrau and Poblador are excellent.

  • Rancatore is very good to. I don't like Miklosa...

  • Good: Mosuc, Serra, Damrau, Poblador, Miklosa, Gruberova

    Bad: Dessay

    Disgustingly bad: Frano (is that a joke? uggg)

  • why are you saying dessay is bad?

  • I really love the versions of Milagros Poblador, Natalie Dessay and Diana Damrau
