I would term this as nice ..... but if you want to have your socks blown off with the WOW-factor, then listen to Sills and Gruberova singing this and compare the difference.
To songbirdwatcher- I'm positive this ia taken "live" from Glynebourne. It was broadcast over the BBC. Mimi was really unlucky not to pursue her career in England. ONe of the best renditions of this aria. Brava!
I would trade 100 of those heavy vulgar singers of today for one, only one, please God, allow just one human soul with a voice like that to walk this earth in the 21st century...
Indeed incredibly well sung. Have any of you Zernitta-fans ever heard Hilde Gueden sing this aria? It will blow your mind! There's a recorded version on Gala ;catalogue #GL 100.513
Well you can knock me down with a feather!!!Onse Mimi singing such an incredibly difficult coloratura aria with such ease and perfection?!!!1 Brava Mimi! Ons het jou nog steeds baie lief!!!
I adore Coertse and have many of her recordings -- but have been longing to here her Zerbinetta, so thanks for sharing this. A wonderful intrepretation... What is the source?

Is this the 1912 version?

@pedrofribeiro This is the 1916 (shorter) version. I believe there is a 1912 version sung by Beverly Sills on YouTube

FABULOUS!! Thanks for sharing this. Do you have a "Bell Song" with her??

To my knowledge, Kammersängerin Coertse never sang the Bell Song from Lakme.

Jaw-droppingly good -- never heard a better Zerbinetta. Thank you for bringing a new singer into my life.
