#9 most relaxing song

[medalovf]

girl kissing

[SilverPinions]

I always thought that 8:47 was probably the coolest part of the film, the looks Figaro and Il Conte exchange are just priceless, and the way Hermann Prey says it, it never fails to make me smile.

[Miauriceful]

When I was a child I sang "Ricevete padroncina" in the choir.

[Lassannn]

I have no idea to this day what those two Italian ladies were singing about. Truth is, I don't wanna know. Some things are best left unsaid. I like to think it was something so beautiful it can't be expressed in words, and makes your heart ache because of it. It tell you, those voiced soared higher and farther than a person in a gray place dares to dream. It was like some beautiful bird flapped into our drab little cage, and every last prisoner in Shawshank felt free.

[ETECHJOEs]

THEY SHOULD BE NUDE

[kanojoe2000]

Shawshank!

[uptilthesky]

Actually, Mozart's andantes, whether aria or symphony, sound the most beautiful when you go Bohm slow. Mozart's exquisite phrasing demands a slower tempo, Bohm knew that. I love this tempo.

[gustavoanmosura]

DIVINA MIRELLA

[Manigran]

Gorgeous duet! Thank you Kiri, Mirella, and Mozart.

[zamyrabyrd]

Only problem with the slow tempo, the duet is written in 6/8 and really, what is done here is ponderous for such a light exchange.

Kiri and Contrubas employ a more reasonable rate of speed. It's really more difficult, unnecessarily so, to sustain the lines for either of the sopranos.

The whole film is great though with wonderful interpreters, costumes and setting.

[AmericanEvita]

@zamyrabyrd I know this was 9 months ago but that is not Contrubas singing Susanna. That is Mirella Freni, and she's by far the best Susanna

[zamyrabyrd]

@AmericanEvita I know that but was just comparing the above to Kiri and Ileana.

[MastersoftheOpera]

Perfection! Te Kanawa was an A list Mozart soprano and Freni is beautiful as Susanna. Their voices are so gorgeous together and I love the meaningfully slow and spiritual pace of Bohm's conducting

[gtenore88]

ho ancora la pelle d'oca...freni e te kanawa, binomio perfetto!

[lindsaydenman]

too slow, Bohm. I'm fallin' asleep over here.

otherwise, perfection.

[MastersoftheOpera]

I prefer Bohm's slow pace for the"Sull'aria" duet. I love the '68 recording with Edith Mathis and Gundula Janowitz; it was used in the '94 movie Shashawnk Redemption. The slow pace is more spiritual sounding, sadder, and gorgeous! It's more meaningful and I'm sure Mozart would have loved it. Not everything has to go fast musically in this opera. There are moments of pure beauty that just sound better played in slow motion.

[alisea87]

questa canzone è incommentabile...un capolavoro! splendido! potrei ascoltarla a ripetizione per giorni!

[apocatnica]

Endlich habe ich dich gefunden Du wunderschönes Lied...

[brieencroute]

I love the age and experience in Kanawa's voice, perfect for a Countess, while there is innocence and sweetness in the voice of Susana, Mirella Freni. Beautifully cast and beautifully sung!

[N0zix420]

song is amazing

[CzarDodon]

I love the look that Figaro and the Count exchange when Figaro says "perche' no? Io non impugno mai quel che non so" it's like he says "I don't go around making stupid insinuations, like you do, signor padrone".. which is fantastic since Figaro is actually lying through his teeth :-) I adore Ponnelle.

[simoneywymney]

so beautful . thank you for putting this song up .
