Elisabeth Schwarzkopf - Come Scoglio - von Karajan (Studio)

[FloreoShortia]

Who cares about the sharp change in register as long as it is for the dramatic and artistic reasons. Opera without theatrical acting of the voice belongs on the concert stage. Usually it is a bore as well unless the artist has a way to comunicate with the listerner. Just a beautiful voice is not enough.

This is hilarious! You can hear drastic register changes. Not a good aria for her apparently....

What??? she is the Best of the best in this, learn to sing and interpret

@Bigman240

That's kind of the point of the aria, expressing the anger Fiordiligi feels. You don't write A's below middle C for Sopranos unless you want that effect. I'm assuming Mozart probably knew that.

Great job! Thanks for posting! IMO this aria is the best part of the opera... next to the duet Fiordiligi-Dorabella

[leoperarm]

Yes! You're welcome! I agree, this is the best part of the opera!!!

I wanted to pot this time ago, but I've had problems when uploading video files and lost my time on it xDDDD

Is this the recording with Christa Ludwig as Dorabella? I would like to hear her duet with Elisabeth ;)

[leoperarm]

Oh! I'm sorry, but the one with Ludwig is the Böhm recording, this Dorabella is Nan Merriman :-//

[Klassizismus]

Don't worry... probably I'll buy the CD (with C. Ludwig) one day ;)

[leoperarm]

me too! XDDDDDDDDD

[twizzle99]

It is wityh lisa della casa as a beautiful fiordiligi, her duet is sublime!

[luceafara]

@leoperarm I love this recording! Love Elizabeth Schwarzkopf! Nan Merriman is the best Dorabella ever! Thanks for posting it here.
