mmmmmmm me gusta... sinm duda es una muy buena versión, auqnue la voz de ella me parece un tanto agresiva para alguna cosas. Esto requiere de mucha más dulzura. La voz de esta mujer (que es impresionante) tiene un timbre más punzante, en especial cuando canta forte.
I saw Damrau... as Marie.. and it would appear on the face of it, a perfect role for her.. and it was only .. pretty good.. she was not outstanding.! Small voice. But lovely in many ways... but small.
I agree with raymzi about the lack of power towards the end. (Sutherland is a good indication of what I think is missing here.) I found Damrau's singing in Zauberflöte as good as any, but this doesn't seem to be up to that standard here. (Maybe there are subtle beauties that I'm missing because I don't know enough about singing, so feel free to alert me to them).
@silvr94 OMG, you are SO right! Edda Moser's Donna Anna is definitive, it's as if Mozart had written the part with her unique combination of vocal gifts and unsurpassed musicality in mind. A MUST listen!
hmmm... i wish she'd give a little bit more umph in the allerghetto part... it seems..i dunno... this is one aria where i dont connect with damrau. i usually love her in everything..
bu a vast improvement from that Mozart Donna recording of non mi dir... that conductor needs to be shot
I don't think this is from a performance. It's from her latest album, the Mozart Donna. She didn't do the role on stage yet if i'm correct. She will do Donna Anna in December in Switzerland though.
She sung it in a concert in Bilbao last February and she will sing it again in Paris on the 21st. If I got the recording of any of those (it was recorded in Bilbao, I don't know if it will be in Paris), I'd post it ^^
Was that concert recorded?? OMG, that would be awesome if you could get some of that. Was it transmitted on radio or something? You always seem to know and get everything of her ;-)
I read she also sang some things of Donizetti and Bellini during the night. Really wondering how she did that!
It was not broadcast in any way, to my deep sorrow xDDDD But I know some people that maybe could get a recording. And what the heck, I'll ask her in Paris if she has it xDDDDDD
I normally have some help in my 'knowing about her', it's not all about me, believe me ;)
She did sing some Donizetti and Bellini too. Lucia's Spargi as the second encore!!!!!!!! :D I'm still high on that xD
Sooo so jealous of you.. going also to her concert in Paris?? :) Lucky you! And I already sensed that you had your little network out there :P The most wonderful things you posted here!
Her Lucia is always great to end with of course! She did Ah non credea mirarti... Ah! Non giunge of Sonnambula right? That would be so great to hear her doing that. :D
Oh yeah! Almost checking every day if there are some new posts of Diana and of course the special things you post Lilith :D ;)
Would be great if Diana would do some Bellini on stage too! Too bad I'm not able to go to the cinema to see Sonnambula this Saturday. I guess Dessay is great in that!
Is there a pitch problem with the upload file????... it sounds in E mayor instead than F mayor... I don't think she would sing it a half step down...

@gahualli i think it is a period orchestra so might be at original pitch,

I would like to attract your attention to Edda Moser then - especially as Donna Anna...

ok i know it now.. she seems too happy in the allerghetto part instead of any longing.. i can almost picture her smiling.

No sorry for the confusion. This is from her studio recording. However, I thought she was supposed to perform in in 2008?

It's not about luck, it's about buying the plane ticket and the ticket for the concert and booking the hotel xDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
She did sing Ah! Non credea, yes. She was great ^^ I will also post it if I get the reording :)
