  • si,splendida!

    

  • What I don't understand is why we have to have such hateful arguments comparing opera singers. I bet if they were all alive there would be a great deal of mutual respect. Why can't we have that same respect. It's art, it is emotional and subjective maybe just enjoy what you like and let others do the same.

    Think what the singers would say if the people who want to argue about who was better did it front of them. It would be really nice to see some honest attempt at courteous objectivity.

  • VIVA RENATA TEBALDI, la que mejor ha cantado la ópera LA WALLY (en directo y en disco), nadie la ha igualado.

  • CONTINUO DICIENDO QUE ABURRE A LAS OVEJAS, ah, me olvidaga dar las gracias a quien me ha llamado idiota, y me encanta `porque no me gustaria tener su mismo gusto en cuanto a voces

  • Estoy bostezando, !! que  aburrimiento!!! seguro que ella duerme a las ovejas.

  • @Maripudelmonaco QUE IDIOTA.. Esto es demasiado hermoso*-*

  • netrebco sembra una mucca timida da mungere che chiama il padrone - muuuuuuuuuuuuuu, muuuuuuuuuuu

  • Guardate la Wilgelmina! Lei si che canta la Wally---- la netrebco vi piace perche e' carina...... troppo pubblicizzata! sara la velina di opera!

  • @italiatuva senza desiderio di polemica,a mio avviso ,qui mi pare che la netrebko abbia quanto meno una dizione piu' vicina alla lingua italiana,le tonalita' delle due artiste e cosi' tutti gli altri aspetti diciamo ,tecnici , sono poi quello che costituiscono,la vicinanza ,il piacere dell'ascolto,la preferenza dell'una o dell'ltra.Ave!

  • Here is a wonderful example of how Opera has at last evoluted and given us artists like Netrebko who is a real reformer and vsionary.I am not refering to extrreme or daring appearances,but her general approach to opera and singing.Sensational,not shouty,not boring,paying attention to ARTISTIC FEELING AND NOT TECHNICAL ACHIEVEMENT.To me,she achieves the REAL GOAL OF ART,which is global conception of a piece.She conveys the spirit of many arias much better than Callas and Tebaldi.

  • @vernadakieleni Are you drunk? How dare you compare her to Callas or Tebaldi. I like Netrebko but she needs to mature a little. Her voice is still too young. She should stick to slutty , crazy roles for now. She's amazing at those. Now , her Lucia performance at the MET 2009/2010 was amazing. Check that out!

  • here is a wonderful example of how opera has at last evoluted and gave birth to magnificent artists like Netrebko.It was about time this aria was performed by someone who does not consider singing a matter of strong lounges and showing off voice power.Pardon me,all you Callas and Tebaldi lovers,but Netrebko,although not better technically,she is A LOT MORE ARTISTIC AND ENJOYABLE. Honestly, i think she does a serious job for opera.She is a real renewer.So precious element for Art.

  • Here is a wonderful example of how opera singing has deteriorated over the past couple of decades. She is hailed as a great soprano but this is decidedly second rate, does not begin to compare with Callas, Tebaldi, Price etc. etc.

  • I can't understand what the f*** she's saying,her intonation at times is bad,and she is a bad mimic.I CANNOT understand why she is famous!!!!She is a BAD opera singer!

  • @VforVespa Het check oiut the general sound quality. It is very bad, The orchestra is all compressed and monotonic - try some of the other versions. Don't compare the singing just the orchestra, this version has lousy sound. I wouldn't judge anyone on this. Why not look for a better one and then comment on her singing. By the way if Anna is a bad opera singer then I love bad opera.

  • This is what I need to listen at the moment. It's so peaceful!

  • Monotonous. She puts heart nor soul into this.

  • Pourquoi chercher toujours qui est la meilleure. Nous sommes heureux d'avoir plusieurs cantatrices de grand talent qui interprètent à leur façon les oeuvres merveilleuses

  • First of all, this is the most successful aria for Dramatic soprano, and yes she is singing the high note, but when a Dramatic soprano sings that it's like an explosion.

    So the tip is that this aria is not for Lyric voices like hers 'cuz it doesn't sound as it should.

  • I have to say I have yet to hear her live... but no recording I have heard of hers make me WANT to hear her live :-( simply does not appeal to my ears. She obviously has appeal as many love her... I wish her a long and successful career.

  • callas (hors concours)... netrebko or grummer > sumi jo > kiri te > montserrat

  • Comment removed

  • Bleah!

  • Recordings do not do anyone justice. Live, I find hers to be the most beautiful soprano today.

  • Bought a DVD of her about a year ago. She is amazing!

  • Is it me or does this Aria sound like it was written by Puccini? I'm not familiar with Catalani but I know this is really the only thing he's known for. Is his other work not as good as this?

  • @terrybeaton Wally was the last Catalani' s opera and the more innovative of his time. He died 39 years old ! Yes indeed, Wally was revolutionary and opened a new road for Puccini and others.

  • Huh! Im vibrating right now! She's amazing! Thank you!

  • plain

  • She is pretty as an soprano. But i almost fall into sleep when listen to this recording,the voice is plain without passion.

    For this aria, i would say Hina Spani is my favourite.

  • Poor Anna, can't sing the diminuendo!

  • I love Caballe & Tebaldi's version of this aria, so I do not play favorites. Anna just wasn't doing it for me in this performance...

  • Perfect i love this woman she's the new superdiva of this times her voice amazing strong

  • passione ZERO. 

  • @CateSoprano yes, she needs a little more passion, otherwise..she is good. I enjoy her after Callas :)

  • @CateSoprano -I agree-for the most part. She is the entire opposite of Callas.

  • Very nice like Callas!

  • @buttercup180 I would be careful where you state such comparisons... it's a nice La Wally, but would surely not invite comparsions to La Divina.

  • @DottoreJojo -Nor a host of others either. She is good,but just not excite due to not appearing sincere at times.She loses my focus.

  • @buttercup180 seien sie doch nicht so naiv...

  • @buttercup180 -Exact opposite.More pleasant voice but very little soul. Loses my focus and concentration throughout. Still a very good singer.

  • @buttercup180 what wouldn't Netrebko give to be like Callas!

  • is it me or she slightly under the note at times?

  • @Bomberdiva76 Yes, she misses a little here. Even the best don't hit a homerun everytime up.

  • @Bomberdiva76 -It is not you.

  • I love this tempo because she takes time to float on her top.

  • @yoxles -Floating is usually on ones bottom. Perhaps that is where she goes wrong.

  • nice song, nice voice! I thinkk I know this song, but I've never heard the name..

  • La Wally

  • @NeMetov the title is La Wally

  • splendida!!!

  • lovely, thanks for posting

  • é veramente brava!!!!

  • Fernandez is a lot better and doesn't yell and doesn't sing flat either!

  • somehow this wouldnt be as good as you listen live.

  • This piece, La Wally, connects passionately with the losses in our own lives. And this version by Netrebko is by far the best, the most passionate, and conveys the pain far more intimately.

  • @vincent33909 Shut up crazy  old .

  • Anna é maravilhosa!

  • I wish I could sing like her- I would never shut up.

  • non è il suo repertorio,

  • beautiful

  • @vincent33909 To comment on something, a person must first know well about what is going to say.

    I would have liked you first before ask me to me , that Why I have talked that way ?. Unfortunately, you do not asked me, but you opinion was without knowing the causes and motives. Because that discussion and fight has a long history, and if there were reasons for that fight. However, I send you my cordial greetings.

  • stupid comments..go and wash dishes!!!

  • @eddiealle "stupid comments..go and wash dishes!!!

    "stupid comments..go and wash your ass, then that water drink it .

  • @vincent33909 Hey Dr. Vinnie Boombartz, why don't you mind your own business, and worry about buying your next case of Depends, you old bastid.

  • Callas, Tibali, Caballe have all fantastic voices but

    Netrebko to my opinion is the first one who brought some smile and fun in this very closed Opera and Lyrics area.

    I agree with norwichterrierfan 1 if this can bring back young folks to Opera !!!!

  • @MrGarywinner Mr Gay Weiner, you're such a fag that flames must be shoooting out of your ass! I would ask you again if I could butt-fuck your wife, but I am sure you are not married, at least not to a female!! Hey Home-boy, eat some of my " Special Shit Pudding " that I have saved just for you!!

  • Hammer55292 and Dessayfanatic, both suck, both are scumbags, they are both sons of bitches.

    Hammer55292 Faggot Old , his ass it stinks horrible Because he's receiving at his ass semen of many men.Hammer55292 ASS ODDOR ¡¡¡¡¡ LMAO.

  • @MrGarywinner Mr Gaywinner, I told you before, don't ascribe your actions, to others. Hey, do the men give you the courtesy of a Reach-Around???? LMMFAO!!

  • Très beau mais il manque un petit bout de phrase... ou alors l'informatique joue des tours.

  • @agnesrobert Vous avez raison et c'est dommage !!!!!

  • Why all these nasty, vituperative comments? If you don't like her singing, don't listen to the video!

  • Absolutely gorgeous voice and young woman!

  • She's a real shame for opera!!!

    Please HAMMER!!!

    continue to insult her and mostly her child...this is a pleasure for me ^^

  • @hammer55292 This pair of friends, one, the Monster show , have a criminal behavior, intentions and desires of sexual maniac, a real rapist. The other, a woman friend, also is a real sex maniac and besides this mentally ill woman asks Monster Hammer55292 to insult, offend, and attack ANNA NETREBKO and her little baby Anna.

    A couple of perverts, scoundrels, abnormal beings and criminal conduct and therefore both should be in jail.

  • @MrGarywinner Hey Gay-Boy, this is what you want, this is what you get. You want trouble with Callas, you got it. If you don't like our postings, then give up your bullshit on Callas. Come out publicly against Belmanotre and the others, or we will continue to believe you are all together. Meanwhile quit sucking so much dick, you sound like you're going crazy, ROYHORSE!!!

  • this version is beautiful too!! talented!!!

  • Es... terrible. De verdad. ESPANTOSO. Por favor, que alguien haga algo.

  • scheisse, bad, plocho

  • This is beautiful. There is no denying Callas, Tibali, Caballe. But it is wonderful to have Netrebko, Garanca, Ghiorgiu (sorry for the spelling) and this new group of talent. The have reenergized some people's interest in opera and are connecting with young folks just so the art doesn't die! That is a good thing!

  • bad

  • check your facts before you comment faggot

  • my favourite soprano's aria. Divine.

  • bella donna ma ...con il canto ...e un po stonata

  • bad

  • she comes at night when the city is still; invisible,inaudible,all unsummonned. her name is anna

  • crei que eso se cantaba un poco mas adelante pero bueno

  • I'm speechless..shivering..

  • MA PERCHÉ sento sempre un pezzo dei binari? Scusate...

  • bella voce ,bella donna ma per me Netrebko non canta all'Italina ,e poi che cosa succede à 1 : 45 ?

  • nantas tu en idiomas estranjeras??? entonces, que no critiques.

  • no no, esta bien. hay preferncias, por suerte, pero no es tan facil cantar en una idioma estranjera, concentrase sobre el texto, la musica, la voz misma, etc...entiendes...es lo que quisiera decir

  • If this is your favorite then you have never heard Ranata Tebaldi sing it she does it great justice. Its a wonderful aria. I'm a little biased towards tebaldi, make that a lot biased.

  • Maravillosa, una voz extraordinaria.

  • This is what you call a truly beautiful voice.

  • and a perfect voice.

  • Beautiful!

  • Comment removed

  • This is my favorite.

  • This is my favorite too.

  • She's lovely, and sometimes sings beautifully, but here she

    is uneven and her notes are sharp.... doesn't do it for me.

    She is over rated... not to say she is unpleasant, but there are others better by far.

  • lafotografia , go get education, she is the best of the decade (Washington post) - dura!!!

  • I stick to my opinion, and as Dame Kiri said, they are looking for the body these days, not the voice. Monserrat Caballe would not be singing in the USA if she were in her prime today. A real pity, and look what happened to Ruth Ann Swenson... You are the one who needs to listen to more singers....

  • what do you consider by far better??Different maybe...Tebaldi is not Calls, callas not Tebaldi and Netrebko neither any of them. all of them are unique in their ways I guess, with ups and downs, after all they are no computers...and even they crack sometimes

  • Utterly gorgeous! This kind of voice only appears once in a lifetime.

  • Abosolutely perfect!

  • Never heard Anna Netrebko sing Ave Maria maybe its not her song.

  • BCExist!!! Thank you very much for your point of view,sober judgment and understanding of what the great majority are deprived;

    The more brilliants like Anna is the more venomous criticism flourishes, what shows the extent of narrow-mindedness!

  • Anna is a delight!! There is beauty in the small imperfections of the human voice...how easy to criticize and not recognize the work and the talent of these women.

  • OMG............ the next american who gives a idiotic comment. Creep back in your cave......blindworm!

  • its about the most painful area on you tube to watch

  • @risan01 Do you mean ARIA (aire) from an opera or AREA (space) ? I hope you only mis-spelled and not being ignorant of the meaning of the word.

    Some people just have it, sorry to say.

  • dear von slussssssseeeeen

    no i meant space as area of the aria, not ignorant at all,

  • Soooo Soooooory!  I stand corrected.

  • WHAT HAPPEN AT 0:24 my god why did she decided to sing this area if she is not qualified, or ready.....

  • Mtnmanjt

    you don't understand?

    Nobody talk with you!

  • STRIKER/Mtnmanjt WHAT'S HAPPEN? NOBODY TALK WITH YOU? YOU'RE ONLY a ENTERTAINER FOR YOURSELF because EVERYBODY KNOWS, YOU'RE a BORING and CRAPPY ARSEHOLE WITHOUT INTELLIGENCE and SKILLS. NOBODY TAKES YOU SERIOUSLY and HOW LONG YOU WANNA MAKE a PROPER CHARLY of YOURSELF? Folks, have pity, he's a ill creature!
  • Critics always have thought that they are all mighty and all wise. But...Not al all!! they always write bull shit. The dilettanti must be led by sound ant pleasure of listening. Like here with Anna. Brava Anna!!! I love the way you sing, no matter who critisize you and who hates you. To hell with them!!!!

  • come one guys! she is singing her soul out!!

  • Pretty, but Sarah Brightman does it better.

  • @shiankiang, Please don´t expose yourself too much. You are terrorizing the learned in the opera. It is so obvious who you are. If you like Brightman, then go ahead but don´t compare her with real opera singers.

  • Sarah goes well with The phantom of the Opera, or maybe with Evita, or Jesus Christ super star, but not with real opera. Please!!!

  • @alvarito45

    Oh please, I'll just say Claire Moore and Rebecca Caine were much better, and they were alternates! What does that tell you

  • i think Netrebko has wrong intonation

    she forces the sound and can't sing pianissimo that's very important for this aria

    and her singing is quite awkward i'd say

  • Agreed, and what is that note @2:56 ?

    In between note !! Can't even tell what she is hitting...

  • If you can't tell, you might want to get your hearing checked. Just a thought.

  • @gwrapoza . No way buddy, my hearing is perfect : clearly she gets out of control and gets a bit flat or sharp on notes from time to time which makes her singing ability incinsistant/questionable.

  • @iWalkure This note is "e"

  • smudged notes.

  • A voice that is a myracle. So sweet, strong, and passionate!

  • Grossartige Stimme doch "La diva" (Callas) kann sie nicht das Wasser reichen!

  • Warum auch, was hat Anna die Nr.1 der NEUEN Oper mit dem Mittelalter zu tun?

  • I love tihs aria.. It's amazing, I think is the best aria ever written for a woman. The others are song to the moon, marietta's lied, lasch'io ch'io pianga.. What do you think??

  • @anasconuto

    I agree, this is one of the best arias out there. The great maestro, Toscanini named his daughter Wally, in honour of this wonderful music. I am so humbled and honoured to learn this piece. Maybe I'll post it one day...yeah right!!! : )

  • Anna Netrebko is perfect........
