Teresa Berganza sings "Parto, ma tu ben mio" W.A.Mozart

[morri1983]

ok

[simonidamiletic]

che dolcezza nella voce,stupenda!!!

[ezayi]

It was nice but this certainly isn´t the best interpretation in vocal terms. There are others that sing this better than her. Though, very nice.

[LPCLASSICAL]

A marvellous voice -  I must get my old Berganza LPs out and listend to more.

[acitipo]

GRANDE!!!!

FANTASTICA!!!!

MARAVILLOSA!!!!



[Mariasonatta]

Yes Teresa Berganza has been the best mezzosoprano, so clear, with a perfect technic. .

[bodiloto]

@Mariasonatta da anni e anni non ho trovato la risposta della domanda:

-Tra Maestra Baltsa e Maestra Berganza quale fra le due era il soprano leggero e quale il soprano corto...

[celestevt]

This was taped in 1967, when she was 32 years old. Beautiful, but I think that her studio recordings (1967, 1978) of this aria are better,

[mozart200657]

We miss you, Teresa...this is simply a lesson.

Amazing!!!

[Casciolina]

I adore Her singing and I was very lucky to attend Her masteclasses in Warsaw last year. Yet, this video made me think about how her technique was changing. Always beautiful sound and unique timbre and lightness, but here she doesn't seem concentrated (maybe nervous a bit?) and she does some strange things with her mouth singing coloraturas. All this summed up is quite comforting I must say :) Even the greatest learn all their life.

Do you know how old she was when the video was made?

[Barbapippo]

she's not "the best spanish mezzosoprano", she's the best in the world, :)

[BravaBerganza01]

I totally AGREE with you dear friend!! :)

[lamsalgado]

Beautiful and fascinating!

[SoulReeper85]

Such a strong voice! I just wish she would connect it with her emotions a bit more...

[mariasarda]

J'aurais aimé travailler avec elle. Mais j'ai arrêté le chant.

[Hal5423]

Nice of Berganza, but the clarinetist rushes!

[angloyank]

I agree. Currently, I'm working on this clarinet part at university and I play the same tempo, yet I keep the notes very even and relaxed, which blends much better with the soprano.

[woytynowska]

I've just attended in her masterclasses, although just as a listener... she's amazing, amazing, amazing! I <3 BERGANZA.

[BravaBerganza01]

ME TOO!!! :) :) :) And she´s more than AMAZING!!! I LOVE HER SO MUCH. Beautiful lady and just more beautiful person. <3 <3 <3

*****VIVAT Teresa Berganza*****

[BravaBerganza01]

These masterclasses were such a great experience for me!!! Unfortunatelly I could be there only 1 day (but THANKS for this one day!!) She´ll be in Warsaw also next year, so I´m looking forward to this. So, I´ll be there surely as long as Teresa <3

[woytynowska]

is it sure that she will be there?? i heard about it but it was still "we hope that...."

[BravaBerganza01]

Teresa´s son said me that they will come to Warsaw also next year, so I believe it´s true :) :) :)

[woytynowska]

great!!! so, we'll meet there next year! :))))

[prince2000ful]

@BravaBerganza01 We fully agree with you! she is singing like she is talking.Everything seems to be so easy for her.And we, whom also sing know that the fact is another thing.

[nclysander]

Beautiful, but dull. As in her studio recording with Pritchard, she is absolutely expressionless, seemingly caring only about the music. There is another video here on YouTube where she sings more dramatically but without her customary richness. So I guess she's just a no-hit for me in this aria, however much I adore her Rosina and Dorabella.

[Signifer82]

I don't agree. I think she's correct, including the expression. I think the problem is the conductor. I think he spoils it, with no clear sense of mesure.

[nclysander]

You honestly find this exciting and/or moving? Ah well, different strokes for different folks.  You know, we're probably both right. A poor conductor can drag a performance down terribly, until one can scarcely recognize the artist singing. :(

[DivaDeb1234]

Interesting that she doesn't use chest voice in the very low register.  She is super good.

[tenore88]

Teresa sei grande...mi fai sempre venire i lacrimoni!!!!!!!!!!

[idraote]

Can't love this aria. Even Ms Berganza, with all her class, sense of style, spotless technique can't make me. Perhaps she was also too busy singing on her own fighting an uninspired conductor (in Mozart the conductor is important!)

[DivaDeb1234]

Just curious, but what is so uninspiring about the conductor?

[idraote]

the direction is so to say "wooden", hard. In Mozart more than with every other author the conductor must love the music he/she's playing and show it with a continuous exchange with the singer/s

This does not sound very technical, I'm sorry, just try imagine poetry read by a schoolchild and the same read by a sensitive actor/ress: both read the same words without mistakes but one gives you emotion, the other doesn't

[icaoncat]

Nobody is like Teresa. Elegant, sweet, accurate, clear, limpid... great!

[Njamh]

Qué le ha pasado en la segunda vuelta de la coloratura??

[acitipo]

@Njamh Pues nada? no le paso nada!!!! yo tengo el disco y otra presentacion 5 años despues cantando la misma aria, perfecta siempre 5/5. Posiblemente el audio no sale bien, pero su voz esta perfectamente colocada en la "mascara"

[IDiedSoLongAgo]

what was baudo doing, conducting mozart? he must have needed money.

[Xerexda]

i always loved and appretiated Dame Teresa's voice and musicality , but this son to me is owened by Susan Graham

[vitellia]

A true classic. The first great Sesto before so many. And this performance is surprisingly "modern", with a brisk tempo and some appoggiaturas here and there; the orchestra is just as immaculate as La Berganza.
