  • El papel de Amina fue estrenado en 1831 por la célebre Giuditta Pasta e igualmente fue cantado con éxito por Maria Malibrán. Es preciso remontarnos a dicha época para poder emitir un juicio razonable: tanto Pasta como Malibrán poseían un tipo especial de voz al que se le denominó "soprano sfogato", con graves muy sonoros (como los de una mezzo) y facilidad para la coloratura. Aquí Bartoli, luego de estudiar minuciosamente la historia del personaje, nos ofrece una versión muy apegada a su origen.

  • i love cecilia so much ...but this time she did it.....ahahahaha she masacrated bellini....or that suppose to be a joke?

  • How is it possible to sing so soft, controlled and at the same time with so much passion!!!?? I am full of goosebumps!!!

  • UN MARTIRIO ESCUCHAR ESTA BELLEZA DE ARIA A LA SRA. BARTOLI, Y UN INSULTO AL COMPOSITOR...

  • Callas arriba de todos

  • I really liked the way she sang cavatina. I wish she'd sung the cabaletta with that much legato.

  • fuera de lugar total.........zapatero a tus zapatos.......asi de simple.......esta aria es para las divas con VOZ DE SOPRANO DRAMATICA.....NO PARA MEZZOS SIN COBERTURA VOCAL.....

  • I suoi rantoli fanno piangere.

  • !!!QUÉ DESTROZO DE ÁRIA !! Es que la Sra. Bartoli no se ha enterado que es un ária para soprano ? NADIE HA CANTADO ESTE ÁRIA COMO MONSERRAT CABALLE, NADIE.

  • ma che c'entra la Bartoli che è un mezzo con quest'aria che è per un soprano di coloratura? >:-(

  • All these arguements are just silly. EVERYONE has their own opinion of music, that's why there are so many versions and genres of music. We people click on artists they don't like and make such negative comments is beyond me. For me PERSONALLY, this is the best version of this piece I have heard. This being one of my favorites I am constantly listening to different renditions. If this isn't how it is written, it is how it should have been. I am sure Bellini would have been enthralled.

  • A Mezzo should sing Mezzo roles!!!!!! And only it! Horrible rendition!

  • @pedrofribeiro then sopranos should only sing soprano roles and not mezzo ones which most operas have ;)

  • @FreezingEmbrace Yep, sopranos should only sing soprano roles as well.

  • I often think of what it would be like to be Cecilia as she's singing. she talks so much in interviews about having this "freedom of the voice." I can only imagine! this is pristine!

  • Ecco perchè un paese che per secoli ha generato arte allo stato puro sta cadendo a pezzi....a causa di chi, crogiolandosi nel suo profondissimo pozzo di ignoranza e di presunzione, esprime giudizi privi di fondamento. Imaprate a Tacere! Grande Bartoli

  • @diaryofdreams ma chi sei tu per dirmi di tacere?!?avevo cantata durante 65 anni e ecco un piccolino che mi dice che devo stare zitta!

    dobbiamo ringraziare proprio pubblico come te,sensibile e intelligente che conosce veramente la lirica italiana...bartoli per te è una grande,per me è una dilettante.

    chi ha ragione?

    naturalmente tu!

    caro/a, 314 intenditori siete tutti sordi!

    che mondo!

    ecco perché la vera lirica italiana da 60 anni fa non esiste più!

    ragazzi,avete poca preparazione!

    coraggio

  • @ranigema concordo, come Amina fa davvero piangere !!

  • @liricarieantiche purtroppo ...

    rispetto questa donna,ma non capisco una cosa sola,come mai i giovani cantanti (come Bartoli) non hanno nessun rispetto per la magnifica arte dei compositori italiani?...

  • @ranigema Ormai considerano i compositori italiani, soprattutto i veristi, alla stregua dei musicisti pop e jazz !! A me piace moltissimo il jazz, ma addirittura stravolgere le opere con delle improvvisazioni che escono dai canoni operistici, è davvero folle e uccide la cultura del belcanto italiano, e le sue tradizioni. Pensano che così un'opera sia più orecchiabile e commerciale e in effetti la Bartoli vende tantissimo, ma vende a un pubblico che non conosce la vera Opera italiana.

  • @liricarieantiche il suo commento è una meraviglia!

    grazie!

  • @ranigema Ma di nulla, grazie a lei signora di apprezzare l'opera italiana. Gli estimatori ed esperti nel campo sono rimasti pochi, soprattutto in Europa ahimé... Io studio musica classica da quando avevo 11 anni, sono soprano lirico, ma devo ancora finire il conservatorio perché la mia salute mi ha creato tantissimi ostacoli e danni alle corde vocali. E' stata una vera tortura stare lontana dalla lirica, poi tornare dopo tanto tempo, e scoprire che moltissimi la considerano noiosa.

  • @liricarieantiche - TOTALMENTE DE ACUERDO, HOY DIA EL PÚBLICO TRAGA CON TODO, Y ESTÁN DESTROZANDO  LA OPERA ITALIANA.

  • PAragonare la Bartoli ad un qualsiasi soprano è un'operazione che non ha senso. Ma basta prendere una esemplare professionista come la Frederica Von Stade per comprendere che la Bartoli non ha le capacità per cantare... la sonnambula. Il confronto è impietoso.

  • INTERPRETAZIONE ORRENDA!!!

  • Comment removed

  • Dov'é la voce? Poca e Brutta!!!

  • her dress is a little tight.... though she still sounds wonderul, i'm wondering if it is having an adverse effect on her breath support.... some voice teachers have singers wear them tight FOR resistance, but i've never seen her wear one before.

  • The cadenza of the aria is terribly sung... any simple grupetto turns into "happy throat coloratura"....to much fun for her, to little for the listener, to much "show", to much superficiality, ..... the cabaletta is not good either, the orchestra goes bananas between the 2 verses, and so does she, the ornamentation is a disaster and has nothing to do with Amina nor Bellini. Bad taste, to much hedonism, to little art...Pity, because she really has talent.

  • avevo letta i commenti...

    buon gusto?stile?interpretazione giusta?

    inesistenti !

    questa voce é brutta!

    orrenda!

  • @ranigema Vorrei tanto sentire la tua!!! a giusto dimenticavo in italia i complimenti costano vero? io vivo all'estero e posso garantirti che questa donna a differenza di tantissimi altri Made in Italy.....ci fa' davvero luce!! Brava Cecilia ALMENO TU!!!

  • @7lphil caro giovane sognatore,quando cantavo IO il tuo papa non era nato ancora.

    sono una Signora che ha 86 anni,per questa ragione te lo dico subito;se hai l'intenzione di parlarmi senza rispetto IO non ti risponderò mai più!hai capito?

    ti piace la bartoli?bravo,sono contenta per te,hai un buon gusto...

    sei contento?

  • @ranigema Senta cara Signora, non ho mai mancato di rispetto a nessuno e non ho nessunissima intenzione di cominciare a farlo. Quello che le volevo dire e che trovo veramente triste che un tale telento come la Bartoli sia piu' apprezzata all'estero (e come se lo e'..)che nella sua stessa patria. Peccato. In Francia e' amatissima, In Austria, apprezzatissima, In america e' quasi un'idolo ed in Spagna, adorata. Ma cosa si puo' voler di piu' dalla vita? Le auguro ancora una splendida giorna!!

  • @7lphil talento?chi bartoli?

    si vede che conosci poco la lirica italiana!

    che tristezza!

    caro,tu della lirica non capisci nulla!

    ma continua così,ascolta,impara,chi sa un giorno ... speriamo...

    questo che fa la tua bartoli non è canto.

    c'est une caricature.

  • @ranigema caricature?la bêtise n'a pas de limite ..inculte stupido. fuck

  • B-R-A-V-A... Callas!

  • this aria in particular just isn't the same without the chorus. five stars, regardless. :) <3

  • @bodiloto ... Impara l'arte e mettila da parte !!! hihihihihihihihihihihihihihihi­hihi !!!!!!

  • Comment removed

  • @bodiloto Bartoli is considered a lyric and dramatic coloratura, with perhaps less of a "large voice" than some other mezzos, but with a highly individual timbre which she uses to great vocal and dramatic effect ! poor boy... ask your mother and tell her why are you ridiculous ! a little boy and a little voice and a little penis ! ahahahahahahahahahahahahahah

  • @bodiloto le bugie hanno le gambe corte....

  • @bodiloto Niente è più sciocco di un rider sciocco !!!!

  • @so451 niente è più sciocco della ignoranza !

    siete tanti ignoranti qua! e siete aggressivi e non avete nessuna preparazione artistica!

    YT e il vostro paradiso.

    avevo letta i tuoi commenti,per me tu sei un maleducato e ignorante,sei violento e della lirica non 'non capisci nulla'...@bodiloto ha ragione vai à scuola e impara.

    il silenzio e oro.impara e taci e abbia rispetto per la gente che ha data tutto per la lirica.

    impara di rispettare il mondo,e tuo.

  • @bodiloto and i dont care a hang face of monkey ! ahahahahahahahahah !

  • @bodiloto hai torto, sta zitto !!!!!!!!!

  • @bodiloto

    Chi ha torto fa clamore contro l'accusatore ! mdr !!!

  • @bodiloto Burla co' fanti, E lascia star i santi !

  • qui per qualcuno essere soprano (anzi insiste a dire che la Bartoli è soprano "leggero" °_°) = chi canta sul fiato ed avere gli acuti sicuri....accidenti. dato che non ha gli orecchi per distinguere il colore brunito e scuro ma leggero e il colore della voce leggera spero che non sia un cantante o meglio, spero che non insegni canto...

  • Sorry if I disappointed anyone, but I have my opinion and I hope you will read this and will agree in your heart. Classical music is sacred and should not be popularized by going apart from composer's idea.

  • Showing where the breaks in the voice are. I don't think makes this piece more beautiful, but is overdone and too heavy with ornamentation. We wear one kind of jewelry with a single dress, this is like wearing 5-6 different kinds which is a matter of taste. I think no one went close to Adelina Patti, and I prefer simplicity in professionalism.

  • I am not trying to be rude, but I think there are several rules that have been violated in interpretation of this particular piece, such as the rhythm in which composer wrote it. Her rhythm as well as many notes are just not on time, thus harmony underneath is all messed up, too mushy. I could guess what she wants to express, which is not bad, but it is overdone. The piece lost its structure, its wholeness should I say. The tempos are wrong at cadenza and it is Not composer's intention.

  • @bodiloto E TU QUANDO CI FAI SENTIRE LA TUA VOCE? VISTO KE CANTAVI CON LA DIMITROVA...

  • @bodiloto AMOR MIO MA XKE CAMBI SEMPRE DISCORSO? IO VOGLIO SENTIRE LA TUA VOCE VISTO KE TI SEI VANTATO DI AVER CANTATO CON LA GRANDE DIMITROVA! E TI GIURO KE SE SEI COSI ECCEZIONALE COME FAI CREDERE VENGO A STUDIARE CON TE!

  • Magnifico!!! Brava!!

  • Per me è straziante,non evidentemente per il pubblico in delirio!

  • @1947Rollo Lei gioca molto su questo fattore (lo strazio) e lo sa fare molto bene. E' una cantante valida, ma anche secondo me qui dovrebbe essere una sonnambula non una disperata...l'aria non finisce più!

  • This was great, but confusing to me. My favorite Amina is Dessay in the Zimmerman production at the Met with Florez. So how can this be. Dessay certainly is not a Mezzo, Bartoli was sure full, rich Mezzo in this. In other ways this performance was not very usual, but they can do that in recitals. I loved this and the audience seemed quite pleased. I see 09avenger and serenaluce used up most of this page of comments doing their usual bile and vitriol thing.

  • Love the orchestra. Love her.

  • Just Beautiful ! BRAVO BARTOLİ ! BRAVOO!

  • beautiful!

  • come mai una italiana che non si sentono le parole bene....????

    fa una impressione che e veramente difficile cantare per lei,troppo pesante)))

  • BELLE TETTE / FANTASTIC TITS

    BRAVA

  • @victor16ify вы не туда попали!это не Playboy!!!

  • @victor16ify che commento IDIOTA

  • Boring!

  • Well, Bartolli's technique isn't perfect, but it's really very good when compared to current sopranos. Judging quality of a soprano by virtue of her facial expression is really interesting approach.

  • Her voice sounds beautiful... no matter what a person looks like or the faces they make, if they have the talent... then that is to be recognized.

    It may not be a mezzo aria or her voice type but I think it's beautiful... and if she can sing it then... woohoo! :)

  • About the tempi: someone`s forgetting this is a CABALETTA.

  • BUAHUAHUAHUAHUAHUAHUHAUHAUHAUH­UAHUAHUAHUHAUHAUHUAHUA........­.UAUAHUAHUHAUHUAHUAHUAHUAHUHAU­HUAUHAUHAUHUAHUAHUAHUAHUA.....­...........ROFL......UHAUHAUHA­UHUAHUAHUAUAUHAUHAUHUAHUAHUA..­.UAHUAUHAUHAUHUAHUAHUHAHAHUAHU­AAAAAAAA !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!

    Oh my God...the laugh was so refreshing...there is only one problem: Ah non credea mirarti wasn't supposed to be a comic piece. Anything but Malibran: Bartoli is the new Buster Keaton! LOL!

  • I believe no conductors agreed to conduct this - you see, they simply left! 

  • The first part is way to slow - Is the orchestra half asleep? What is going on ??? !!! Bartoli always sounds so artificial and pretentious. The second part is just unbearable, - where is the music? Her ugly vocal expressions are tasteless, as usual. Poor Bellini! These are my favorite pieces and she just ruined everything.

  • @09avenger I couldn't agree more with you. It's one of my favourite pieces too. And look at her face. I can't imagine how such a beautiful music can cause such ugly monkey grimaces, such awful curling of her lips? Is beauty a painful thing for her and she wants to make her listeners be sick and disgusted too?! It's zoo, not a stage for a true opera singer! And for whom is she singing if she keeps her eyes closed almost all the time? For herself? Thinking :when the hell my torture here is over?

  • @serenaluce Ahahaaa, look at the orchestra attentively. All of them have this bewildered and confused expression on their faces. Poor orchestra, the conductor fled ... He probably could not take it anymore ....

  • @09avenger And I understand him so well why! LOL At least the orchestra are paid for this torture, and why should I look at her attentively and listen to this parody again?! LOL

  • @09avenger

    Get a grip lady.

    

  • Absolutely sublime.

  • But then, as much as I respect her, I do understand how another person might consider this barqoue approach to 19th century bel canto tasteless as well. Anyway, I love that Bartoli gives us a glimpse to a type of singing from earlier eras that we otherwise would have no idea about. She is a cultural treasure.

  • She is taking liberties with the tempo, but this is generally allowed with bel canto. the emotion is genuine though, and that matters a lot here and 'makes up' for the change in tempo.

  • @piax00 it would have been a different matter with other opera genres. bartoli knows this, she is a serious opera history scholar.

  • It's a big low when singers who take their art seriously are being labeled pretentious and superficial. I guess the hyped up, production-oriented, sensation-seeking opera scene today is making real artistry alien to audiences used to sound-byte, sex-oriented, reality show dramatics that has overtaken opera.

  • I really feel hypnotized by her. She's simply perfect.

  • ma la ha SLA?

  • Comment removed

  • The first part is way to slow; the second part is way to fast. Bartoli always sounds so artificial and pretentious: - this is ugly and tasteless, as usual. Poor Bellini! These are my favorite pieces and she just ruined everything.

  • @09avenger ... I wait YOUR performance just for fun we'll see who is the worse ! There is always people like your species who feeds of critics and humiliation, I'm impatient to laugh of you !!

  • @skyhacker6 - I allow people to have their own taste in music, even as poor as yours, my dear. I repeat, Bartoli always sounds artificial and pretentious: - this performance is ugly and tasteless. I do not sing but I can appreciate real art. Bye.

  • just one thing, she's great, and NOBODY can denny that, no matter what they say. my teacher is very honest, when she doesn't like a singer she just say "I don't like her for ****** ", but she never say "that's an awful singer". :P i love cecilia >.<

    i would love her to sing "think of me" :D

  • oscena

  • muito bom!!!!!!

    CECILIA BARTOLI è a melhor cantora lìrica que jà ouvi!!!!!

  • And no conductor?!? WHAT. AWESOME!!

  • Wow...that was pretty brilliant! Where is this from?

  • shes great. anybody know why she always walks off and comes back after just about every song??

  • natalie dessay sings this better bc of her very girly soprano voice but cecilia is also very amazing,i love this song...=]

  • Excellent interpretation!

  • i've listened to this 4x's in a row and about to make it five enough said!!!! lol

  • having followed this voice throughout many years, this is most controlled in loving admiration and soul

  • Bartoli est INSUPPORTABLE et prétentieuse; se mettre là, au milieu de l'avant-scène, résume seul son s

  • who ever disliked this doesnt recognize true talent!!!.

  • Simply exquisite. And I love her little platform!

  • If she only stopped listening to all this nonsense that she is a GODDESS! Such grimaces are not for an opera diva! Her place is only in the Zoo in the same cage with monkeys! Shame on her! It's profanation of opera! Also awful technique of a clucking hen! Ugly, ugly singing! I guess that people who praise her don't care about any beauty anymore! For them it's enough just to be excited from ugly vocal acrobatic without any soul! But there should be more in singing then just vocal tricks!

  • @serenaluce As a matter of fact I wouldn't like to leave negative comment about Cecilia, but every time when I try to listen to her for understanding her craft I have a sudden terrible headache, and the only therapy for me is to listen to Maria Callas as soon as possible.

  • @spqrmor I agree with you. I was also only trying again to listen to her more to understand why she is so popular and what's so special in her. But every time I'm just shocked by her ugly manners and can't understand how such beautiful music of BELCANTO which means BEAUTIFUL SINGING can cause such UGLY GRIMACES especially in a woman! For me also the best therapy and to relieve my headache after such an experience is to listen to either of 2 versions of the aria I found on YT sung by MARIA CALLAS

  • @serenaluce u are a wart--and you would know good music if it were in your ear! callas voice was gone-- age was a limited to her --not so good

  • @willthebest1 Nobody asked YOU to command to people what they should listen and what not! Who are you? What right do you have to annoy me with your opinion and be so rude? What about freedom of expression on YT?! Artists are supposed to be judged by listeners! I find her singing and manners UGLY! What do YOU know about good music if you find this HORROR beautiful? Do you have monopoly on knowing what GOOD MUSIC is? Check your own ears! And stop BITCHING too that some people have better tastes!!!

  • @willthebest1 Hey man,you brought me back the vid I really wouldn't like to listen to for the second time because of the fact I stated two month ago.I would rather to spend an hour in the casino where you 're working as chief's assistant then to listen to 5 minutes of ms. Bartoli's clucking again.

  • @spqrmor I think he works as a cleaner in a wart removal clinic as he can't adjust himself to discussing music, opera, singing technique, etc. on YT and keeps talking only about WARTS! LOL

  • @spqrmor I think that you are talking about the casino's parking lot where your mother gave blow jobs-so that you could also follow behind her foot steps!

  • @nichtsleezy If you disagree with sombody's opinion it doesn't mean you 've to rash for insultings like that not knowing a damn about an opponent.How dare you scum to talk about my mother? Sombody would beat a shit out you some day for sure!That willthebest really works in casino, just click on his damn profile asshole!

  • @nichtsleezy Hey, sir, obviously, your own mother never taught you any manners how to behave in a CIVILIZED society! I guess you grew up in a cave! Or were even brought up by wolves, like Maugli! YT is made this way to allow people to discuss different renditions, to comment and not only to express admiration to somebody! What is it to do with losers?! Do you adore absolutely ALL the artists in the world?! If you like Bartoli, go on liking her, but it doesn't mean that you can INSULT who DON'T!

  • @serenaluce no your mother have not taught you to be civil--simply put if you dont have abything to say good -donot say anything at all.--thanx nichtsleezy well put.

  • @willthebest1 Leave my mother alone! I don't care about any singer's mother or of the people who write obscenities on YT! Dear, such a strange position of yours . Actually, who are YOU to command what people can say or what they shouldn't?! YT is a democratic institution created this way to allow everybody to express their opinions if they like it or not. Artists are PUBLIC FIGURES who are supposed to be judged by their LISTENERS! They make their living by concerts and recordings! Think of it!

  • @willthebest1 I think that these two people are jealous students of horrible voice teachers who talk badly about any singer that has made an international career. They are losers!!!

  • @spqrmor no one asked u two rude warts to listens to Bartoli-- u got a headache because you are to busy BITCHING!!! LOL.

  • @serenaluce

    I WOULD LIKE TO SEE AND HEAR "YOU" SINGING THIS OPERA WITH YOUR BEL CANTO!!

    and "THEN" you can talk this way! Beauty is not the only thing!!

    Cecilia is one of the most talented opera singers and if she is in that position it's NOT because of her "ugly ugly singing"!!!!

    Her performance was briilliant, and if the tecnique was not perfect the result was stunning!! She feels what she's singing and that's very important because who listens can feel it too!!

  • @TheReignOfTheKnight What a stupid comment! And who are you to command me WHEN and WHAT ABOUT I can talk and also in WHICH WAY?Singers perform not only for their COLLEGUES but for all people! They are public figures and make MONEY on their concerts and recordings! CB is supposed to be judged by all LISTENERS too who will buy her CHEAP CRAP or not! I agree with 09avenger Bartoli always sounds artificial and pretentious! She is only OVERPROMOTED and can SELL HERSELF FOR THE INDUSTRY! It's UGLY!

  • @serenaluce bla bla bla bla! this is what I read! BLA BLA BLA! if u don't like cb ok.. i'm just saying that i don't think you are right..but apart of that u can think what ever u want! ...as i'm no-one to tell you what to bla bla you are even less to say that my was a stupid comment! I don't care about industry and stuff.. i've just said that i think that beauty is not the first thing in singing and that cecilia's singing is not UGLY to me.! but it seams that u actually hate her! so whaterver!

  • @TheReignOfTheKnight What a strange comment again! I don't HATE Cecilia Bartoli! I don't care about her at all as a person! It's a beauty of YT that people can share OPINIONS about different renditions and artists. I only comment on what she does ON STAGE! But I have a different preference - for me in singing the main thing is BEAUTY and sharing an artist's SOUL! And I find Bartoli's singing UGLY with ugly LOW NOTES too like a MAN's and ugly grimaces. If for you BEAUTY isn't important ENJOY IT!

  • This version supasses any of the Coloratura Sopranos' Ive ever heard; living or dead! WOW!

  • She is really a great talent. But still can`t even be placed somewhere near Callas , or the other great divas of the previous century - Tebaldi, Shwarzkopf, and - even Birgit Nilsson... She IS a VERY gifted musician, and (I suppose) a nice character, with charming appearance and manners. But I`m not charmed by all that, her phenomenal singing - strangely enough- is almost irritating for me. And still - I feel respect for her, she IS a true artist, she is not Netrebko.

  • @Rospaint you have a very contradicting character--hahaha--interesting­--two edged tongue--may i add. --lol

  • ma fatela tacereeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!

  • legato inesistente, non si sentono due note di colore uguale.

  • brava!!!

  • So beautifully crafted and completely captivating and moving... I think her deep interest in the history of this music and its performance give her solid ground on which to build her sensitive and moving interpretations - and what fun she has with Ah Non Guinge... the ornamentation is supposedly as sung by Malibran and it brings the opera to a wonderful happy end. A great lady giving a great performance and isn't that the joy of Opera

  • I actually like this performance very much. It is so very different from Callas and other sopranos of the old school, but Bartoli manages to make the role her very own. Very good and interesting job!

  • @callasadmirer she doesnt stay in "character". She "conducts" the melody with her body languge. Which apparently is acceptable in the baroque style( of which i have little stylistic knowledge of so i dont know the reason why....) But this is not the fashion of the bel canto opera. Her tone is gorgeous as usual though

  • many people get very impressed by the high notes. Such as the classic "soprano high C" or the high E or, in case of a very gifted coloratura soprano, such as Natalie Dessay, even above them, to a high F6, G-G#6 or even A....but personally, i also find the low notes very impressive as well. This mezzo soprano here, the amazing Bartoli, gave an example of what only a mezzo soprano can do and i liked it a lot :) Joyce Didonato is also a magnificent mezzo-soprano.

  • She is not in her element here. She doesn't have the voice or musical style to give the Bel canto repertoire the life that artists such as Patti, Melba, Tetrazzini, Callas, Sutherland, or Anderson could (can).
