Quintessional, incomparable Carla. Her talent in this is beyond beyond. Even apart from that final impossible, unforgettable high note: What timing, what perfection of character, what joy in performance! And who else could bring off that outrageously gorgeous costume, complete with cape and peacock feathers? She's physically diminutive but takes over the stage as if she were a Valkerie. Surely she was what Strauss was dreaming of when he conceived this character and aria.
What a gloriously exciting singer and performer! She has the humor to do the character for this song to perfection. And that final high note! Just when you think nobody could sing higher, she goes up a full fourth with ease. Incredible!
To those rude, ignorant critics, I have seen Carla receive standing ovations from thousands of people. What have you achieved in your miserable complaining life?? Thousands like me love to hear her sing and it makes us happy. Aren't we lucky!
@palonejr, no, it doesn't have anything to do with talent what so ever. This is all about pure good training and nothing else. 9999 of all 10.000 gals can be equally good or even better, but they can't handle the boredom of systematic training. Carla has learnt to love boredom so much boredom has got to be spectacular funny and interesting to her. That's the key to the greatest success. Without loving boredom you will never be anything but mediocrity.
i'm just going to say this. she doesn't have the beautiful tone of say Sumi Jo or Diana Damrau like people have been saying, but to be fair with the microphone thing... its an outdoor concert no sane singer would ever... EVER sing without a microphone in an acoustically sound space like where this concert was held... heck even the whole chorus seems to be mic'd. i'm a huge fan of damrau and sumi jo but heck even they use microphones in outdoor spaces...
@FBL667, also you are a fucking moron, Helplessly ignorant you unveil, when also you throw yourself on the band waggon by more than implying lack of mic is a sign of quality while there is a common known fact in science that a singer who has to sing with a greater power ALLWAYS sings with weaker harmony and nuances, which makes the performance flat. This is true in all establishments larger than 1k sq feet. Thus, mic is more often a sign of quality than not. Now STFU you ignorant bastards!
@Idol2011no I guess this is a news to all of us who've been to opera theaters like in the Met which has 3800 seats. Our ears told us that we were listening to something wonderful, very nuanced and emotional, and not at all flat, but your "science" tells us that we are all wrong. Guess what we'll believe, your machine or our years? Oh, and by the way, your last reply to me was incredibly intelligent and articulate showing your fantastic vocabulary.
@jewelmarkess, no, to you I bet it was not intelligent. You're far too dumb to comprehend. Earlier you have shown beyond reasonable doubt that you are clueless in any technical aspect of this subject. Reason have shown unable to penetrate your brainwash. When reason makes no impression there is no hope, other than to ridicule. You don't even understand that your objection is invalid. It may be so that you think something is good quality while at the same time there being something much better.
@Idol2011no You are talking like we've not heard your "something better". I hear how this aria is sung here and don't like it. I hear how amplification changed Broadway and no, it is not for the best. In fact, in NYC there are now concerts "Broadway unplugged" where Broadway tunes are sung without amplification and people love it. I can go to Broadway and listen to amplified singers, then go to the Met and compare. But you've never done it, you are so clueless, it's not even funny.
@jewelmarkess, the masses loving something is not a sign of quality. In fact, almost always quite the oposite.
There are no places on Broadway suitable for listening to high quality singing voice that can take more than 100 people. A room that is made for music where each instrument spread waves from a single souce cannot easily be converted into a good place where waves coming from many places, like from speakers. It needs a formidable upgrade.
@Idol2011no No more than 100 people in Broadway theaters? Are you a complete nut? I guess we cannot count how many seats are there in the theaters. Oh, and there is amplification on Broadway even though there didn't use to be. As to the Metropolitan Opera, it has 3800 seats plus standing room and no amplification. And some of us could go to Broadway, listen to the sound there and go to the Met and compare. I didn't know that the inmates in insane asylums had internet privileges....
@jewelmarkess, your answer is completely random and doesn't address my text. Yet another confirmation you're a dumb fuck.
Mirusia can sing well. She is well trained by the new school. Carmen is something in the middle. Often she sings as if she miss a dick between her legs, but when she shows off her real and femine voice it's a pleasure to listen, but nothing to compare with Carla at her best.
@Idol2011no Everyone is too dumb to comprehend your comments as they contain the collection of random insults, repetitions and collections of random insults. Even you references to "new school" and "old school" are idiotic. There is opera and there is Broadway and there is pop. There is also popera which is operatic arias sung in pop concerts but essentially pop singers. Lowerse and Monarcha both went to conservatories to train for opera; but both choose a different career (popera).
@Idol2011no Incidentally, the reason your answers to every single person who questions you (which is everyone really, I am yet to see a single person agreeing with you) include insults and name-calling - and you aren't even original there - is a sure sign of lack of arguments. You are a completely deluded person. I remember reading how you work on a "top secret project" about teaching people to sing. What idiocy!
@FBL667 You make good points. Rieu's concerts are always miked though: even the one from Dresden opera which they had on tv. I think there are only two of his singers with good voices: Mirusia Lowerse and Carmen Monarcha - these two sopranos could've had opera career if they wanted to. The rest are just not good (IMHO).
i normally hate amateurs who diss professionals but damn! i can do better with the coloratura passages. and not sound as weak for the rest of the song.
@idunnowhatimdoin, I assume you by "weak" really mean this lacks sub-harmonics which gives assosiation to sopranos of the old school who sings as if they got a dick between their legs.
@HeidelbergSoprano, actually it doesn't. BTW, I wasn't fair with Sumi Jo in my last comment. She's not of the old school. She and Carla are in the same class of singing style.
@Idol2011no Not sure what you mean by "old school". Sumi Jo is an opera singer who has sung leading roles in live operas in top opera theaters without microphones. She does have a lighter voice than say Fleming or Caballe because her voice type is lyric coloratura and these other singers are full lyric sopranos - larger, fuller voices. But her voice is strong. As to the "balls" - if women sound to you the same as men than maybe you have a hearing problem.
@serrateresa, yes and while singing with a mic, Sumi Jo is much better. The voice is richer and with far more nuances and depth.
A good example you give there. Fleming is indeed of the old school. Pretenscous, unnatural focus on the subharmonics. She sings as if she's dreaming about getting balls for christmas. I wouldn't say there is anything wrong with your hearings if you like her sining. Maybe you're a whale.
Caballé on the other hand is nothing about the old school.
@Idol2011no These are just different voices. Listen to Sumi Jo without a microphones and you'll hear the same thing. Sumi Jo is a different voice type from both Fleming and Caballe, and Caballe is simply better than Fleming in both voice and technique. SUmi Jo has excellent operatic technique too. Caballe has sung all of her life in live operas without microphones. I suggest you go to opera at least once and hear how these voices really sound like.
@Idol2011no Also, I don't think you quite understand how opera singers are heard over the orchestra, you think it is just volume when in fact they are heard even when they sing pianissimo; even a lighter voice like Sumi Jo has no issues although because of her voice type - coloratura soprano - there is less orchestration in her roles. Google "how opera singers are heard over much louder orchestra" - an article by a scientist, a physicist from physics point of view.
@serrateresa, The difference I'm talking about is the one that writes itself from style of training. Not from anathomy. When Fleming sings it's appropiate to laugh. Her pretentious style and search for sounding like a man is indeed laughable. This is the old style.
Why singers can be heard though a loud orchestra is trivial knowledge to any scientist, which I am one. Our brain convert the sound from waves to frequencies and most pieces leaves a frequency span to the singer alone. You're clueless
@Idol2011no "sounding like a man" - are you tone deaf? She is a soprano, she sings in a soprano range, she isn't trying to sound like a tenor or a bass. As to being heard, it's not as simple as you say; yes using high frequencies as formant is part of it but not everything. BTW - I work in a world class research lab, have published papers; what about you? One of the scientist's qualities is humility, questioning, not arrogance and thinking one knows everything already like you do.
- When a soprano uses techniques of the old school, she supresses the harmonics which give the effect of sounding darker, thus closing up with male singer. Whether or not I'm tone deaf is irrelevant. I'm a scientist and of course I don't trust my ears, but my well calibrated instruments.
- I never said anything about high frequencies. Not only are you clueless but you are unable to focus on reading well.
- You have never ever met a scientist before me. We are all arrogant.
@Idol2011no Actually, I've met a lot of scientists. I work for one of world's top corporate research centerd where there are people who have Nobel prize. My manager is a scientist with a PhD in CS. My former manager was a scientist with PhD in Physics. All of them are interested in learning, they don't claim to know everything as you do. No you didn't mention high frequency, I gave you benefit of the doubt because using high FORMANT frequency is part of it. You ARE tone deaf.
@serrateresa, there is no reason to believe that you have ever met a scientist. You said they are not arrogant, even when being confronted by clueless laymen like yourself. I know that to be false. They are always arrogant when they know they're right.
- No, the reason why I think instruments are superior is because they are, and it can be proven very easily.
- Yes, a spectrum analuzer, well fit to audio, is superior to human ear, not by a factor of 2 or 3, but 1000!
@Idol2011no Look, you can believe me or not it's up to you. I am an engineer, I work with scientists in a research lab, I have papers presented in conferences. Scientists always LEARN because the science is always changing, there are new discoveries to be made, and what was known before sometimes turns out to be wrong. Do you know what "squillo" is? "Singer's formant"? You don't even know the role of high frequencies in projection. YOU ARE CLUELESS. I am done with you.
@serrateresa, the fact that scientists learn all the time doesn't exclude them from being arrogant about what they already know, dumb ass.
- yes, a spectrum analuzer can indeed tell you if a singer sounds not pleasant. We have by synthesis gathered and fed enough data to our instruments for it to give us such information. We know when a sound doesn't fit our ears limitations. The fact that most people are not honest, but let their "taste" get in the way of facts, is irrelevant. You're a dumb ass
@Idol2011no Yes, spectrum analyzer can distinguish frequencies we can't hear. But the spectrum analyzer cannot tell you even if a singer sounds pleasant or not. I give you reference to an article by a professor of physics. You aren't interested. Your explanation of how opera singers (and not pop singers) are heard over the orchestra is wrong. I saw your other comments - they betray ignorance of music not knowledge.
@Idol2011no The reason you are tone deaf is exactly why you think the instruments are superior. Human brain is the most complex system around. I know personally a scientist who is well known in the area of neural networks as well as neuroscientists who worked with computer scientists/engineers trying to simulate some problem-solving ability of human brain. It is difficult. You claim your spectrum analyzer is superior to our ears. You ARE clueless. You are just a student.
@Idol2011no (cont) if you were really a scientist (I strongly suspect you are still a student and an arrogant one at that) you'd be interested to know what another scientist like this physicist I mentioned says and whether what he says coincides with what you think you know and if you agree with him. But you have very strong opinion that you know the best. This is not how scientists, even Nobel prize winners think. You are too arrogant to be a scientist.
@Idol2011no Our ear is extremely sensitive. Human hearing has a bandwidth of about 40 Hz, or less for people with a good ear; human ear is sensitive to vibrations from 20 to 20,000 Hz, and has very high frequency range. But more importantly, it's not just the ear, but the brain as well that is involved in one's listening experience, and our brains are incredibly complex computers. The cochlea in the ear is a good spectrum analyzer, but music appreciation is a human brain quality.
@serrateresa, our ears are not extremely sensitive. Spectrum analuzer is a factor of thousands more sensitive.
- human ear doesn't have a bandwidth of 40 Hz, or 40 kHz for that matter
- human ear doesn't have very high frequency range, in fact nothing close to VHF
- Yes, there is a bad brain factor to consider, but this is for the most part self-inflicted and is included by my "taste" (in quotes). Good music doesn't get bad by a bad brain.
Yet another confirmation to support you're a dumb fuck.
@Idol2011no Funny, the numbers are from an MIT research paper, you do know what MIT is, do you? They work there on trying to simulate a human ear. Here is one last reason why you are not a scientist, at least not the real one but a wannabe: scientists/researchers can write well. "Publish or perish"- ever heard the expression? I'd love to be a reviewer on any paper you write, it'll be good for laughs. Oh well, it was fun to argue with an idiot with delusions of grandeur. Good bye.
@serrateresa, earlier you wrote you're part of a reseach team which includes Nobel prize winners. Yeasterday you wrote human ears can decode 20 to 20kHz. You caltulated this into a bandwidth of 40 Hz. Today you hold firmly on to your data (from an MIT paper?). This shows you don't even know what bandwidth means, namely the highest frequency substracted by the lowest, which gives ~ 20 kHz. Do you even begin to understand how extremely stupid you look while appealing to authority and language?
@Idol2011no Oops you are arguing with somebody again. Now, I wouldn't presume to know about the subject of frequencies as it's not my field, but googling tells me that several places that list human ear frequencies at 20 - 20,000 hz although (which is what serrateresa said) but range decreases with age (D.R. Campbell "Aspects of Human Hearing"). I didn't notice where serrateresa said if this was her field of research or not; she did seem to have made a mistake about bandwidth.
@serrateresa I think this is probably not your area of research and you just looked up some information here like I did, but at least you are right on the subject of music: he clear cannot hear it. I think you are right in that he is no scientist; a scientist would have at least learned about the subject first. Fleming is of "old school" while Caballe who was singing in opera while Fleming was still a child are "not of old school"??? Trying to sound like a man? What an idiot!
@jewelmarkess No, acoustics isn't my field, and of course the bandwidth number was all wrong, but everything else was right. I work in a large research lab that employs 2000 people working in different areas. It was just so funny arguing with this guy. He is probably a student who learned some things and thinks he knows everything. He is also completely tone deaf so he can't fathom how ridiculous his "she sounds like a man" is.
@Idol2011no Carla the Peacock Lady is NOT in the same style class (or any other class) with Sumi Jo. The Peacock Princess is a pop opera singer whose voice is not suited for the opera stage and who can't even sing without a microphone. Sumi Jo is a real opera singer.
@arpeggio1358, can't sing without microphone? Are you mentally challenged or something?
You're right Carla not being a typical opera singer, though. She lacks pretenscious and pathetic sounds to her voice. Besides, she's able to carry tone without greasemonkey it with subharmonics as if it's a dick between her legs she really wants.
@Idol2011no Are you on drugs? You've actually reached the point where you aren't even entertaining. You know nothing about singing and your vulgarity is unbelieveable. Please educate yourself about vocal training and singing.
@arpeggio1358, I don't need either education about vocal training or vocal singing to know that old school opera training produce sopranos who sings with so called sub-harmonics. The only thing I need to prove this fact is to know to read a spectrum analyzer.
@Idol2011no Your vulgarity and mental derangement know no limits. Spectrum analyzers are not used when listening to a singer's voice. You are making a fool of yourself all over YT.
@arpeggio1358, oh yes they are, and specially when in need of an instrument that can provide proof against unscientific morons, in which you obviously are a member.
@Idol2011no I could probably ask the same question of you. You seem to be forgetting that music exists for humans not spectrum analyzers. It's humans who are the ultimate judge because they are the ones listening to music. Your spectrum analyzer may tell you it's great, but when we listen to it we may still hate it. And vice-versa. Out of curiosity, have you analyzed Florence Foster-Jenkins? Is she "old school" or "new school"?
@jewelmarkess, yes, you are a fucking moron. Indeed you are. So fucking helpless when it comes to logical justification to support your stand that I can't find any use for you other than shoot you like a cow and give you to the dogs. Just because music is not intended for spectrum analyzers doesn't mean spectrum analyzers cannot say something about music. Now, go rest your ass down a broomstick and don't stop pushing before it comes out your mouth.
@Idol2011no Well, you yourself say that Sumi Jo and Montserrat Caballe aren't as you put it "of old school". Yet both of them are real "typical" opera singers, very famous in the world of opera, singing without microphones in a theater of the size of the Metropolitan Opera which has 4000 seats. Here: /watch?v=y2Gu_RAfRfo - Sumi Jo at the Met; and here is Caballe in live opera in 1971: /watch?v=PnDE7HGShyU
@serrateresa, I don't know what in my text you think you contradict. From earlier I did learn that you're a clueless moron though, who let her/his words points in all different direction. Maybe I shouldn't care to try to understand you text, which statistics have shown to be rant, most of the time.
ATENCION.: Messinhoful, la mayoria de los conciertos de Andre Rieu los puedes bajar de "THE PIRATE BAY", en DVD, esta con varios idiomas, con exelente audio y video, suerte.
Olá!! Não sei aonde é essa apresentação, mas eu garanto de pé junto que ela canta mil vezes melhor no DVD"ANDRÉ RIEU LIVE IN VIENNA"!! Com muito mais energia, a voz muito mais espontânea e viva! Além do mais, ela está com certeza bem mais animada e carismática, vale a pena! Sem falar que todo o resto do DVD é ótimo! Eu assisto todo dia, inclusive ela!
@strauss12345, dresses cannot be stupid. Only something that got a brain can have such. All though she's in reality plays a simple maid, in this performance we get to take a look inside her dreams. You do know dreams, don't you, those made up wishes that makes life worth living and if they comes true, we need to make up nwe ones or else we die. Am I making any sense to you, or did you choose the blue pill?
@Vocalallusive That doesn't make any sense: this is an aria. This aria comes from an opera. In this opera, she is supposed to be a maid. Though she does wear a nicer dress to the Prince's party, I do believe that it wasn't this elaborate. This dress also is not historically accurate, this aria isn't about any dream, and Adele is merely pretending to not to be a maid, and is therefore ridiculing Herr Einstein who asked her if she was his maid.
@strauss12345, If you're unable to make sense out of a maid dreaming about becoming a princess like Andre talks about in the beginning, I feel the need to use your redused brain activity as an explaination.
Irrelevant crap that did not stand well to my text: "This is an aria", "from an opera", "aria not about any dream" (Performer does whatever he likes with a piece), "this dress is not historical correct", "adele is merely", "ridiculing Mr Einstein".
@Vocalallusive I speak four languages but not Dutch, thus I can't understand his explanation. However, that is not what the aria is supposed to be about. It doesn't matter what Mr Rieu says.
@strauss12345, Andre made the connection at the beginning in a language you do not understand, but still you agree yourself to have a say. I guess I couldn't get closer to the truth when suggesting it's your brain activilty.
@Vocalallusive All I know is that I know what opera this comes from and that I know the context of this aria, and that is what I am commenting on, nevertheless you insult me because you are rude and probably know nothing about the opera.
@strauss12345, this is not an opera, but an operatta. The one and only Strauss Jr ever made. It is not even any good, not instrumentally nor vocally, but you're right about me insulting you. What I don't know is if you're intelligent enough to let it make an impression. So far there is no sign of it.
@Vocalallusive Haha you pretend you are so smart. An operetta is a genre of opera. Die Fledermaus is therefore BOTH an operetta and opera. Nobody appreciates how you judge a work of art, which many like, as if you could just pop an opera out of your pen as you so please. Also, if the opera "is not even good, not instrumentally nor vocally", why would you ever watch this video?
@strauss12345, no ignorant fart. Operetta has been a genre by itself for quite some time now, very well defined with a nature that is very distinct from opera, but don't you let me stop you from blowing over with more ignorance.
I watch this vid solely because of Carla. When I want vocal music I seach for real composers like Franz Lehár.
@Vocalallusive I looked it up for you. "Operetta (Italian, plural: operette) is a genre of light opera, light in terms both of music and subject matter. It is also closely related, in English-language works, to forms of musical theatre." Again, it's amazing you can insult Strauss and his opera, both of which are more famous than either you OR Carla. By the way, saying you watched this video "solely because of Carla" doesn't help: she can hardly carry a note.
@Vocalallusive I happened to know that before, but I just looked it up on the internet to confirm it. You only show arrogance, so I refuse to talk to you any further.
@strauss12345, you must believe it gives an impression that you have found a source equally ignorant as yourself.
BTW, Strauss Jr would never ever be able to make an operetta as good as Lehar even if he lived for thousand years. Do you know why?
You're right about Carla not able to carry a tone if using opera standard of carrying notes. She totally lacks being pretentious. She got no excessive use of vib and there is no sub harmonics to give us an idea she's hiding a dick under her dress.
@Vocalallusive Haha I change my mind: I will talk to you some more because I can't resist. Wikipedia is actually surprisingly underrated: it has been proven it is now very hard to make changes that purposely disrupt correct information.
I quite like Lehar's "Die Lustige Witwe" however that doesn't justify a your bashing of Strauss. I find it amazing that you make your own standards of judging an opera and act like you somehow are more intelligent than people who believe in "opera standard".
@strauss12345 not to try to contradict you or anything but it's about music, I would say. When people want to see the story of a maid portrayed, they go to blockbuster and get a movie or go to Barnes and Nobles and get a book. I think many opera lovers are too critical of meaningless things, and too conscious of rules and their personal rule-based biased evaluations of singing/control/technique. But you do have a right to your opinion, and I definitely agree that wikipedia is underrated.
Who could not love this woman? On a good day, when everything is just right , she might stand 5 feet, 1 inch tall (hehe), but her voice is always magnificent. The joy that eminates from this petite lady is ... just wonderful. Her Song of Olympia is equally wonderful. I cannot write words that do her justice.
This orchestra not only ranks right up there with the best but, unlike the others, these folks have fun doing it! I think the performers reflect Andre Rieu's personality.
Quintessional, incomparable Carla. Her talent in this is beyond beyond. Even apart from that final impossible, unforgettable high note: What timing, what perfection of character, what joy in performance! And who else could bring off that outrageously gorgeous costume, complete with cape and peacock feathers? She's physically diminutive but takes over the stage as if she were a Valkerie. Surely she was what Strauss was dreaming of when he conceived this character and aria.

@Idol2011no Incidentally, the reason your answers to every single person who questions you (which is everyone really, I am yet to see a single person agreeing with you) include insults and name-calling - and you aren't even original there - is a sure sign of lack of arguments. You are a completely deluded person. I remember reading how you work on a "top secret project" about teaching people to sing. What idiocy!

@FBL667 You make good points. Rieu's concerts are always miked though: even the one from Dresden opera which they had on tv. I think there are only two of his singers with good voices: Mirusia Lowerse and Carmen Monarcha - these two sopranos could've had opera career if they wanted to. The rest are just not good (IMHO).

@idunnowhatimdoin, I assume you by "weak" really mean this lacks sub-harmonics which gives assosiation to sopranos of the old school who sings as if they got a dick between their legs.

@HeidelbergSoprano, actually it doesn't. BTW, I wasn't fair with Sumi Jo in my last comment. She's not of the old school. She and Carla are in the same class of singing style.
Idol2011no 4 months ago
@Idol2011no Not sure what you mean by "old school". Sumi Jo is an opera singer who has sung leading roles in live operas in top opera theaters without microphones. She does have a lighter voice than say Fleming or Caballe because her voice type is lyric coloratura and these other singers are full lyric sopranos - larger, fuller voices. But her voice is strong. As to the "balls" - if women sound to you the same as men than maybe you have a hearing problem.
serrateresa 2 months ago
@serrateresa, yes and while singing with a mic, Sumi Jo is much better. The voice is richer and with far more nuances and depth.
A good example you give there. Fleming is indeed of the old school. Pretenscous, unnatural focus on the subharmonics. She sings as if she's dreaming about getting balls for christmas. I wouldn't say there is anything wrong with your hearings if you like her sining. Maybe you're a whale.
Caballé on the other hand is nothing about the old school.
Idol2011no 2 months ago
@Idol2011no These are just different voices. Listen to Sumi Jo without a microphones and you'll hear the same thing. Sumi Jo is a different voice type from both Fleming and Caballe, and Caballe is simply better than Fleming in both voice and technique. SUmi Jo has excellent operatic technique too. Caballe has sung all of her life in live operas without microphones. I suggest you go to opera at least once and hear how these voices really sound like.
serrateresa 2 months ago
@Idol2011no Also, I don't think you quite understand how opera singers are heard over the orchestra, you think it is just volume when in fact they are heard even when they sing pianissimo; even a lighter voice like Sumi Jo has no issues although because of her voice type - coloratura soprano - there is less orchestration in her roles. Google "how opera singers are heard over much louder orchestra" - an article by a scientist, a physicist from physics point of view.
serrateresa 2 months ago
@serrateresa, The difference I'm talking about is the one that writes itself from style of training. Not from anathomy. When Fleming sings it's appropiate to laugh. Her pretentious style and search for sounding like a man is indeed laughable. This is the old style.
Why singers can be heard though a loud orchestra is trivial knowledge to any scientist, which I am one. Our brain convert the sound from waves to frequencies and most pieces leaves a frequency span to the singer alone. You're clueless
Idol2011no 2 months ago
@Idol2011no "sounding like a man" - are you tone deaf? She is a soprano, she sings in a soprano range, she isn't trying to sound like a tenor or a bass. As to being heard, it's not as simple as you say; yes using high frequencies as formant is part of it but not everything. BTW - I work in a world class research lab, have published papers; what about you? One of the scientist's qualities is humility, questioning, not arrogance and thinking one knows everything already like you do.
serrateresa 2 months ago
@serrateresa,
- When a soprano uses techniques of the old school, she supresses the harmonics which give the effect of sounding darker, thus closing up with male singer. Whether or not I'm tone deaf is irrelevant. I'm a scientist and of course I don't trust my ears, but my well calibrated instruments.
- I never said anything about high frequencies. Not only are you clueless but you are unable to focus on reading well.
- You have never ever met a scientist before me. We are all arrogant.
Idol2011no 2 months ago
@Idol2011no Actually, I've met a lot of scientists. I work for one of world's top corporate research centerd where there are people who have Nobel prize. My manager is a scientist with a PhD in CS. My former manager was a scientist with PhD in Physics. All of them are interested in learning, they don't claim to know everything as you do. No you didn't mention high frequency, I gave you benefit of the doubt because using high FORMANT frequency is part of it. You ARE tone deaf.

@serrateresa, there is no reason to believe that you have ever met a scientist. You said they are not arrogant, even when being confronted by clueless laymen like yourself. I know that to be false. They are always arrogant when they know they're right.
- No, the reason why I think instruments are superior is because they are, and it can be proven very easily.
- Yes, a spectrum analuzer, well fit to audio, is superior to human ear, not by a factor of 2 or 3, but 1000!
You're a clueless dumb ass.

@Idol2011no Look, you can believe me or not it's up to you. I am an engineer, I work with scientists in a research lab, I have papers presented in conferences. Scientists always LEARN because the science is always changing, there are new discoveries to be made, and what was known before sometimes turns out to be wrong. Do you know what "squillo" is? "Singer's formant"? You don't even know the role of high frequencies in projection. YOU ARE CLUELESS. I am done with you.
serrateresa 2 months ago
@serrateresa, the fact that scientists learn all the time doesn't exclude them from being arrogant about what they already know, dumb ass.
- yes, a spectrum analuzer can indeed tell you if a singer sounds not pleasant. We have by synthesis gathered and fed enough data to our instruments for it to give us such information. We know when a sound doesn't fit our ears limitations. The fact that most people are not honest, but let their "taste" get in the way of facts, is irrelevant. You're a dumb ass
Idol2011no 2 months ago
@Idol2011no Yes, spectrum analyzer can distinguish frequencies we can't hear. But the spectrum analyzer cannot tell you even if a singer sounds pleasant or not. I give you reference to an article by a professor of physics. You aren't interested. Your explanation of how opera singers (and not pop singers) are heard over the orchestra is wrong. I saw your other comments - they betray ignorance of music not knowledge.
serrateresa 2 months ago
@Idol2011no The reason you are tone deaf is exactly why you think the instruments are superior. Human brain is the most complex system around. I know personally a scientist who is well known in the area of neural networks as well as neuroscientists who worked with computer scientists/engineers trying to simulate some problem-solving ability of human brain. It is difficult. You claim your spectrum analyzer is superior to our ears. You ARE clueless. You are just a student.
serrateresa 2 months ago
@Idol2011no (cont) if you were really a scientist (I strongly suspect you are still a student and an arrogant one at that) you'd be interested to know what another scientist like this physicist I mentioned says and whether what he says coincides with what you think you know and if you agree with him. But you have very strong opinion that you know the best. This is not how scientists, even Nobel prize winners think. You are too arrogant to be a scientist.
serrateresa 2 months ago
@Idol2011no Our ear is extremely sensitive. Human hearing has a bandwidth of about 40 Hz, or less for people with a good ear; human ear is sensitive to vibrations from 20 to 20,000 Hz, and has very high frequency range. But more importantly, it's not just the ear, but the brain as well that is involved in one's listening experience, and our brains are incredibly complex computers. The cochlea in the ear is a good spectrum analyzer, but music appreciation is a human brain quality.
serrateresa 2 months ago
@serrateresa, our ears are not extremely sensitive. Spectrum analuzer is a factor of thousands more sensitive.
- human ear doesn't have a bandwidth of 40 Hz, or 40 kHz for that matter
- human ear doesn't have very high frequency range, in fact nothing close to VHF
- Yes, there is a bad brain factor to consider, but this is for the most part self-inflicted and is included by my "taste" (in quotes). Good music doesn't get bad by a bad brain.
Yet another confirmation to support you're a dumb fuck.
Idol2011no 2 months ago
@Idol2011no Funny, the numbers are from an MIT research paper, you do know what MIT is, do you? They work there on trying to simulate a human ear. Here is one last reason why you are not a scientist, at least not the real one but a wannabe: scientists/researchers can write well. "Publish or perish"- ever heard the expression? I'd love to be a reviewer on any paper you write, it'll be good for laughs. Oh well, it was fun to argue with an idiot with delusions of grandeur. Good bye.
serrateresa 2 months ago
@serrateresa, earlier you wrote you're part of a reseach team which includes Nobel prize winners. Yeasterday you wrote human ears can decode 20 to 20kHz. You caltulated this into a bandwidth of 40 Hz. Today you hold firmly on to your data (from an MIT paper?). This shows you don't even know what bandwidth means, namely the highest frequency substracted by the lowest, which gives ~ 20 kHz. Do you even begin to understand how extremely stupid you look while appealing to authority and language?
Idol2011no 2 months ago
@Idol2011no Oops you are arguing with somebody again. Now, I wouldn't presume to know about the subject of frequencies as it's not my field, but googling tells me that several places that list human ear frequencies at 20 - 20,000 hz although (which is what serrateresa said) but range decreases with age (D.R. Campbell "Aspects of Human Hearing"). I didn't notice where serrateresa said if this was her field of research or not; she did seem to have made a mistake about bandwidth.

@serrateresa I think this is probably not your area of research and you just looked up some information here like I did, but at least you are right on the subject of music: he clear cannot hear it. I think you are right in that he is no scientist; a scientist would have at least learned about the subject first. Fleming is of "old school" while Caballe who was singing in opera while Fleming was still a child are "not of old school"??? Trying to sound like a man? What an idiot!

Out of curiosity, have you analyzed Florence Foster-Jenkins? Is she "old school" or "new school"?

strauss12345 1 year ago
@strauss12345, dresses cannot be stupid. Only something that got a brain can have such. All though she's in reality plays a simple maid, in this performance we get to take a look inside her dreams. You do know dreams, don't you, those made up wishes that makes life worth living and if they comes true, we need to make up nwe ones or else we die. Am I making any sense to you, or did you choose the blue pill?
Vocalallusive 1 year ago
@Vocalallusive That doesn't make any sense: this is an aria. This aria comes from an opera. In this opera, she is supposed to be a maid. Though she does wear a nicer dress to the Prince's party, I do believe that it wasn't this elaborate. This dress also is not historically accurate, this aria isn't about any dream, and Adele is merely pretending to not to be a maid, and is therefore ridiculing Herr Einstein who asked her if she was his maid.
strauss12345 1 year ago
@strauss12345, If you're unable to make sense out of a maid dreaming about becoming a princess like Andre talks about in the beginning, I feel the need to use your redused brain activity as an explaination.
Irrelevant crap that did not stand well to my text: "This is an aria", "from an opera", "aria not about any dream" (Performer does whatever he likes with a piece), "this dress is not historical correct", "adele is merely", "ridiculing Mr Einstein".

@strauss12345, this is not an opera, but an operatta. The one and only Strauss Jr ever made. It is not even any good, not instrumentally nor vocally, but you're right about me insulting you. What I don't know is if you're intelligent enough to let it make an impression. So far there is no sign of it.
Vocalallusive 1 year ago
@Vocalallusive Haha you pretend you are so smart. An operetta is a genre of opera. Die Fledermaus is therefore BOTH an operetta and opera. Nobody appreciates how you judge a work of art, which many like, as if you could just pop an opera out of your pen as you so please. Also, if the opera "is not even good, not instrumentally nor vocally", why would you ever watch this video?
strauss12345 1 year ago
@strauss12345, no ignorant fart. Operetta has been a genre by itself for quite some time now, very well defined with a nature that is very distinct from opera, but don't you let me stop you from blowing over with more ignorance.
I watch this vid solely because of Carla. When I want vocal music I seach for real composers like Franz Lehár.
Vocalallusive 1 year ago
@Vocalallusive I looked it up for you. "Operetta (Italian, plural: operette) is a genre of light opera, light in terms both of music and subject matter. It is also closely related, in English-language works, to forms of musical theatre." Again, it's amazing you can insult Strauss and his opera, both of which are more famous than either you OR Carla. By the way, saying you watched this video "solely because of Carla" doesn't help: she can hardly carry a note.

@strauss12345, you must believe it gives an impression that you have found a source equally ignorant as yourself.
BTW, Strauss Jr would never ever be able to make an operetta as good as Lehar even if he lived for thousand years. Do you know why?
You're right about Carla not able to carry a tone if using opera standard of carrying notes. She totally lacks being pretentious. She got no excessive use of vib and there is no sub harmonics to give us an idea she's hiding a dick under her dress.
Vocalallusive 1 year ago
@Vocalallusive Haha I change my mind: I will talk to you some more because I can't resist. Wikipedia is actually surprisingly underrated: it has been proven it is now very hard to make changes that purposely disrupt correct information.
I quite like Lehar's "Die Lustige Witwe" however that doesn't justify a your bashing of Strauss. I find it amazing that you make your own standards of judging an opera and act like you somehow are more intelligent than people who believe in "opera standard".
strauss12345 1 year ago
@strauss12345 not to try to contradict you or anything but it's about music, I would say. When people want to see the story of a maid portrayed, they go to blockbuster and get a movie or go to Barnes and Nobles and get a book. I think many opera lovers are too critical of meaningless things, and too conscious of rules and their personal rule-based biased evaluations of singing/control/technique. But you do have a right to your opinion, and I definitely agree that wikipedia is underrated.
