Would love to know what Renee Fleming would think of her Marietta's Lied. I have heard many versions and only Fleming (see her performance from Moscow on youtube) and Leontyne Price would surpass.
This girl is quite special. I had a magical week at St David's Hall, Cardiff watching the full contest. My first time live despite watching the competition on BBC since 1983. Veterans assured me that the overall standard was outstanding. And she didn't win her 'heat' night! .....but not only won the Final but, for the first time, won the Audience Prize as well. May she have a wonderful career.
Absolutely stunning! What a beautiful voice, and gorgeous woman. Thank you for posting this early video of a future star. The only possible criticism would be of her slightly rigid movements that at times do not add expressive quality. Well done!!
O voce excelentă !!!!!! Mă mândresc mult că în Republica Moldova iau naștere asemenea talente!!!!!!! Valentina mult succes în continuare!!!!!! Eu te voi numi AMBASADOR AL CULTURII MOLDOVENEȘTI ÎN LUME!!!!
Congratulations to Valentina. The brilliance of her voice is matched only by her beauty. I trust her boyfriend bothered to watch this time, but if not and there's now a vacancy.... Brava. Bondarenko is the new Hvorostovsky - and many of the other competitors will go on to have fine careers. The standard was so high this year.
Thank heavens she won the final, though she was beaten by Andrei on Day 3. Otherwise there might have been a massive audience revolt. Can anyone ever have sung Marietta's Lied more beautifully. ?
wonderful singer! may I just ask you though, how did you get the clip from tv to youtube? I still have not figured out how to do it. thanks for the posting!
I loved loved loved Valentina and the Korngold broke my heart. I wondered if you had Anna Leese's full performance and if you would mind uploading that as I would love to hear it. Thanks.

How I decided to upload these Nafornita videos:
From the moment I heard her singing I felt she should be supported no matter if she qualifies/wins or not and she did not win round three.
Sorry for the bad quality of the sound, it is due to insufficient audio bitrate of the youtube's convereted videos.

One could tell she would win as soon as she stepped onto the stage for the first time.
She brought tears to my eyes.
Her wonderful voice and musicality confirmed this as soon as she started to sing.
Another Maria Callas but with a much sweeter voice.

@Pearlaceous We will keep eyes and ears on her.
She can also be found on YouTube singing Mimi in Boheme, Violetta in La Traviatta and elsewhere, doing some ballet!

Sorry ,I must have been mistaken because have just looked again and cannot now find a video on You Tube of her doing ballet.
What I saw could have been someone else however I'm a bit puzzled.

I thought she was great. Could easily be the biggest star to emerge from this competition.
