this is baaaaaad... why is she smiling throughout most dramatic sections? does she understand what she is singing about? low notes - flat, flat, flat! very disappointing
I cant stop listening to this wonderful aria! I love Tchaikovski so much!
Of course she could have chosen Rachmaninoff Vocalise, but I she payed respect to this prestigious gala, singing in Russian. I am sure that many people did appreciate this.
@teoctn1 She went a little too hard on those final chest notes, however that is not wrong at all. Almost no sopranos in the last decades sing the end of the aria that way, but the first Lisa ever - who sang for Tchaikovsky himself - was Medea Mei-Figner and she fortunately recorded this aria including many chest notes and ending it with a very long and forceful chest note going down to contralto territory. So I guess Gheorghiu's singing here is not wrong at all, perhaps just a little laboured.
A strange performance...

Кто же заставил бедняжку взять именно эту арию? Как будто нарочно хотели её подставить: ни по голосу ,ни по темпераменту она ей не подходит.

Very good low notes... 99% of sopranos never master musicaly chest voice they just go into some mix... and the volume is also decreased.
