Kurt Streit - "Fuor del mar" (W. A. Mozart)

[rrgallo]

Such a difficult aria and lots of courage is needed to try the florid version....but it's difficult to even get close to H. Jadlowker...

per capire la differenza basta ascoltare la versione di Placido Domingo (versione "Raaff") e confrontarla con quella di Rockwell Blake (Mozart intenzione originaria)!

dear friends the coloratura is the Mozartian original.

Raaff, the first singer for whom Mozart wrote this part, was just an

old man and not really able to handle the original coloratura,

Nikolaus Harnoncourt is supposed to be the first conductor who had the

courage to turn back to Mozarts original will.

So this is even closer musically to what Mozart wanted than the

version with the coloratura 'light' we normally are condemned to

listen to.

nice performance. at the end he weakens a little bit

I don't understand why people are criticising his coloratura? I think he is fantastic because the dramatic impetus informs the coloratura - something that most singers don't think about. I like this role a little bit more 'raw' and unpolished as it shows the dramatic development of Mozart's writing. Idomeneo in my eyes is a dramatic masterpiece and should be played as one - without restraint. We can hear beauty of sound elsewhere -give me emotion instead for this one!

Can't understand how anyone could fault Streit's reasonably accurate coloratura in this video of this difficult aria. Add to that his semi-heroic sound and his good acting, this video is downright thrilling. Thanks for posting it.

Oh lord his coloratura is worse than mine!

[Davccelion]

@XPRT10R , interesting, all experts agree that the most interesting feature in the voice of this singer is his coloratura!

[XPRT10R]

@Davccelion Really?."ALL experts"? ALL? Do you have names and quotations? Experts of what specifically? Vocal experts, or Mozart experts or coloratura experts? Are you an expert? I consider myself an expert.; an expert ear, that is, So expert infact that I stay well clear from attempting things that are WAY beyond my means. A discretion and restraint which is not applied by ALL singers (or indeed experts). I have loved Streit in many things but THIS is not good. Most experts maybe. ALL? NO!

[Davccelion]

@XPRT10R , I was not trying to offend your criteria on the matter with my comment. Just wanted to observe that all the experts that I, myself, have heard so far (expert singers and vocal experts, as far as I can remember), have always praised the coloratura of this singer. In this particular piece? No, not in this, but in others. Is he performing bad in this one? Well, perhaps you're really better acquainted than I am. I am more familiar with the difficulties of femenine voices, must admit.
