Bellini's aria by Netrebko part2

[edelyn8]

Netrebko has that edge that no one else has!

[tiffpitt27]

She is BRILLIANT!!!

[samdmill]

She sings bad here but she's really beautiful.

[ninaisai]

Я восхищаюсь этим голосом!

[MrVonBriesen]

Wow very good, i love this aria, nevertheless the album version is much better than this one...

[ezayi]

Come on people... Im not a Netrebko´s fan, but this is hardly what you´re writing here. Ok, she´s flat sometimes but besides that there are other points to take into consideration. The style and legato were there, the voice alone was just wonderful and she can or could sing this easily.It is exciting to hear this kind of voice singing that. We haven´t heard a voice this big singing that since The Great Callas and Sutjerland. Very exciting. Brava!

[ismsancat]

Se lento para prometer y rápido para actuar.

[Drelnis]

This is awful - pitch pitch pitch, phrasing, phrasing, phrasing - if Callas saw this she'd be speechless for all the wrong reasons.

[RandyWanKenobi]

@drelnis ... if Callas would saw this... she would be a zombie by now...

[ad80ad]

shame!!!! irinamataevasucks, you are an hacker for the poors and you OUTRAGEOUS nick doesn't deserves anything than complaint. You are a Striker SERVANT. Striker...the great Dessay fan...LMAO!!!!

[IrinaMataevaSucks]

Traviata - Ms. Netrebko displayed ample power, coloratura bravura with a marvelous tone Having recently heard Natalie Dessay sing Sempre Libera at the Met Gala, one was impressed by the legato nature of Netrebko's portray in contrast to Dessay's intentional staccato, fragmented phrasing interpretation. Having also seen photos of Fleming in her current Violetta at the ROH, one can only marvel at Netrebko's resilience, endurance and commitment to bel canto opera.

[CORMAKUL]

well... I tend to think that all she is just a phenomenon management.... cause thera are so much of undone "thigs" in her technics.... passages are sung so hard... during this performance I was expecting that now she would make a mistake.... I 'm not readu to call her one of the opera divas, cause she is so "raw"....

[mgarovano]

She's so hot!

[teleblanx]

She is the best!

[muzetta100]

She is singin very....hard.

[BCS34]

Flawless

[thomastmwc]

But Joan Sutherland isnt in this video, then who r u talking about??

[operaman2000]

Poor passage work, rhythm is slack, and frankly, she is not always in tune. Does anyone rally listen anymore?

[lubomierz180]

She sounds bad in here.

[robertosunga]

@operaman2000 Don't be a bitch man, music is NOT suppose to be perfect and it never is! just enjoy it...

[mtnmanjtt]

Hey faggot you agree with the greatest YT idiots? No miracle you're a latino! Do you know what opera is? Opera is music from europe and you must admit it's nothing for you apeman!!!

[tsw5ctc]

Everything is loud. I agree with thugman and elisabetta.

[aklev77]

Thugman30s brain activity is seriously underdeveloped it is weak and unbalanced; has no variety of thoughts, no depth and trills. The vibrato of his thinking process is within a dynamic range of SCHIZOPHRENIA - shallow and monotonous It is simply lacking the correct pitch and agility to pull it all off. He has poor imagination, no precise control of emotions and poor diction. Thus he is severely lacking the technical depth of Homo Sapience. She has no one to

LOVE AND NO ONE LOVES HER.

[Violetta1]

Then don't watch it!

[flipperdoo0971]

I don't enjoy this.

[tsw5ctc]

me too.

[knockout994]

What a discomfort to listen to.

[donny558]

She's lovely for this. I can't ask for more. Thanks for posting!

[shivastotravali]

Sad. She's got a lovely big voice but uses it to try to sing all the wrong stuff. I hope someday she finds her repertoire, because it sure ain't this. Pedestrian.

[33blueberries]

Was that really necessary?

[mxmaxamxm]

Its hard to hear what you mean. Her timber is perfectly suited for a lyric soprano, and shes got the range and coloratura for bell canto repertoire; its not a 100% disciplined delivery but she hasn't reached full maturity. All in its a superb delivery with some minor glitches. Alive today, can't say there is a singer even close to equal w her blend of characteristics

[Elisabetta611]

Full maturity? She is in her late thirties for God's sake, not an ingenue! There are dozens of sopranos who can sing this better today!

[mxmaxamxm]

never said perfect. you can't be serious, active today, dozens?? I welcome the challenge, bring it on.

[Elisabetta611]

Yep. Dozens. Hundreds.

[roalgoro]

Bravoooo!

netrebko es genial!

Me encanta...puede ser q las coloraturas no las haga tan bien...debido a q ella NO es soprano de coloraturas...pero su voz! su timbre! es tan lindo! me encanta!

[hugoforth]

Lenozze44 tell me are you the famous maestro that everyone is talking about along with Kngiht84 and Ridingpegasus....household names...i don't think so, so for gods sake why don't you amateur wannabe's SHUT UP and let people who like her, enjoy her.

[leoperarm]

This is surprisingly acceptable! wow!

[LeNozze44]

Bellini is crying right now. This was awful. Yikes, that was just bad. God help us when Netrebko sings Lucia at the Met this season

[kngiht84]

Well if you hurry up, you can still catch Diana Damrau (who is undoubtedly much better with real coloratura)

[ridingpegasus]

Anybody that loves this aria, should listen to Sylvia Gestzy do this.

:-)

[Sesto73]

Geszty, Mosuc, Gruberova etc

[BCS34]

Her fellow musicians love her. Thats good enough for me, if she needs any confirmation, that is.

[Glenmed]

I suspect that Anna is fully aware that her rendition here is not the best in operatic history. But I hope she knows that she gave the proms audience and many of us at home a tremendous evening of entertainment. Who else could have done this Bellini ... AND the Strauss ... AND dazzled us so brilliantly with the Lehar? ... Well, who?!

[xgianpatrick]

Entertaining, perhaps, but not one of those performances was any good. The Strauss was pedantic and tortured, Lehar trampy and vocally charmless, the Bellini just horrendous (love how she turns to the chorus at 1:42 after a particularly unfortunate passage). What's with slowing down anything tricky (i.e. the scale at 2:30)? She looks desperate throughout except when she's not singing. Who could do better? A dozen students in NYC alone.

[sevoflurane]

Indeed! Maybe not many could have "looked" better in Bellini. But this is not a contest for Miss Bellini.

[neritux]

I don,t like nowadays italian vocal method (its not the same school as previous)...I like Netrepko...She has beutifuland strong voise, dont be so yelous to her!!!

[makoto174]

This is the worst version of the aria.

The flow of the melody is fragmented and

the flaws of the agilita technique are too

conspicuous. I really don't understand why this singer is

so overestimated.

[suvorov4]

xgianpatrick,

She attempts these in order to give you something to do in life.

[operabuff1]

well, this proves that looks are not everything in opera. she is simply NOT a bel canto virtuosa.

[GliOminiVerdi]

You asked me what is this: this is canto. this is an aria sung in a different way from bel canto. to hear Bel canto you have to listen Joan Sutherland. THIS is bel canto.

[fawbs80]

thank you so much for putting this one have been waiitng for someone to

[GliOminiVerdi]

very good voice. But this is NOT belcanto.

[Operaphile]

Ok...so if this isn't bel canto, what is it??? Her coloratura was mostly good - it seemed to be mainly plagued by the conductor not working with her. He seemed to rush her at the ends of phrases where she could have had some room to finish slightly more elegantly. The preceding aria was divine!

[GliOminiVerdi]

I'm sorry I'm not English nor American so I' m not sure I understood everything you said. I said "it is not bel canto" because I think that she has a very good voice but if you see it completly her singing was not bel canto. I think she is good, I just said that I don't like her singing this repertorio. Maybe I made a mistake judging her like this... but I'm Italian, and I KNOW what is BEL CANTO ALL'ITALIANA.

[xgianpatrick]

I think her coloratura is sub-par, don't you? Sluggish, inaccurate, approximate. She slows down far too much when she can't navigate the runs. It does not suit her at all. I'm trying to think of a less accurate coloratura technique from any famous voice of the last 50 years, and aside from Foster-Jenkins and Natalia de Andrade (may she RIP), I'm stuck. So why does she attempt these?
