Bizet-Carmen-Les tringles des sistres tintaient-Maria Ewing

[jackpoint188]

@coreygallai I believe her character and others were feeling bored with the dancing entertainment so when she began it was to differentiate her magnetic charms from other women there.

[Morgothlan]

Поет отлично, но в некоторых местах ее манера пения просто убивает.

[vivamonaco]

DIOS MIO, QUE BUENO

[piax00]

what's the difference between mezzo sopranos and sopranos? mezzos smoke :)

[coreygallai]

For some reason she looks bored in this clip. Great song though

[BassBunnieGirl]

My favorite Carmen by far! As one starting to study this roll, I only hope to be half as wonderful. Not the best staging and costuming but the best actual performance I've seen. If we want to nitpick, I'll agree that Covent Garden is the best for costuming with Antonacci, but the performance matters more than what they look like.

Brava, Maria Ewing!

[crazystarwarsguy1006]

Adorable

[GDM34000]

Que ne tintent-ils encore ces tringles, et ces sistres.... n'S pas Maria?

[walkingmess]

I looooooooooooooooooooooooove Ewing so much.

[akirren]

She always has the craziest facial expressions. Her eyes are so large and frightening.

[leelahut]

Bravo!!

[Alce2008]

I could not agreemore!!!

Auguri,

Claudio

[cantanteporsiempre]

The best carmen, my favourite, no other singer-actress can do this, I think she is unique in this rol, I hope to learn something about her.

[idaspe]

Están todos tan poseídos, la música es tan hipnótica, está tan pero tan bien hecho, que no parece ni una ópera ni una película: a mí me parece que estuviera espiando por una cerradura lo que pasa en una habitación, y hasta me da miedo que me descubran mirándolos. Un PRODIGIO de la puesta en escena.

[rotogrud]

This is a very good Carmen. But not being English-speaking can be actually heard the difference between Maria Ewing and a French mother-tongue singer, her pronounce is a bit different.

[ubedajils]

Brillante actuación, y extraordinaria voz!

[antobas69]

Non si è mai vista una Carmen così...e non si vedrà mai più.

Immensa EWING, senza confronti.

Never seen a Carmen like that. Never again.

Incredible EWING, no one compares to her.

[Alce2008]

This is the best Carmen and has never been launched on DVD. Why? Can anyone tell me?

[RinconRican]

You can find the DVD in Amazon.

[Alce2008]

My thanks, my dear friend.

Merry Christmas and a Happy NYear.

@Alce2008 coz everything is PERFECT: stage, costumes, orchestra, conductor.... and the UNIQUE MARIA EWING!!!!!

[hchristopher1]

This Carmen obviously has access to indoor plumbing and dry cleaning services! She is so clean, and ironed, and put together that she seems to be some middle class sorority girl.

I admire Ewing, but what was the director thinking? In the Covent Garden production with Antonacci, everything is so earthy and real you can almost SMELL the cast.

[oxumare2009]

Nesta cena é inconcebível uma Carmen que não saiba dançar, Maria Ewing tem uma desenvoltura física maravilhosa, reune todas qualidades que se espera de uma grande interprete...Ela canta, dança, atua de forma espetacular, é maravilhoso ver como a musica vibra por todo seu corpo, ela interpreta Carmen com propriedade.

Brava!

[Lemaliac]

Excelente!!!!

[sasylatin]

This and Seguidille are my favourites!

[forestvampire]

This is ma favorite piece from Carmen. Beautiful.

[rigcelli]

Excelente manejo escenico, una Carmen interesante, oscura, que sabe combinar la fuerza vocal con la interpretativa.

[ItsBenJacobson]

interesting

[operaman20]

I LOVE HER!

[Bubbete1]

fantastica Ewing! The best Carmen!

[MobyDicksWife]

Go listen to Marie Callas if you want to hear how this song should be sung!

[jsrbaritone]

You're an idiot...

[onieshka]

There isn't only one singer in the whole history of music. Please change you're mind, listen to new singers. Maria Callas was a good singer BUT THE THERE ARE OTHER REALLY GOOD SINGERS !!!

[Phosphoron]

strongly agree...

agree with every word...

[linalnrs]

Le interpretazioni di Maria Ewing sono sempre interessanti e nuove!

[LiricKing85]

Maravillosa en todo lo que hace. Combina una voz hermosa de mezzo con una escena digna de una gran actriz, para mi perfecta, sin atisbos. Centro hermoso, agudos imponentes y la Salome de ella digna DE SER ADORADA POR TODOS!

[cordoor36]

she says its not hard at all. she has sung lying down, you know.

[teamlegitdragon]

and she is even able to sing hunched over with all that cigar smoke around her! how?

[HoldFast57]

When she is at the table singing and bending over and still able to sing (1.20+)...do you have any idea how hard that is???

[dejatucoro]

her voice was at it's peak!

it's clear it's vibrant it's awesome!!

[RAATCC36]

when the girls sing "Tra la..." in the background, is that just Frasquita and Mercedes who sing that or all of the girls?

[hillevifan]

its just Frasquita and Mercedes (who incidently is played by one of my favorite mezzo Jean Rigby)

[Latiiin4x]

J`AiME VREiMENT BEAUCOUP ,,

Pi JAiME BEAUCOUP LiSTOiRE DE CARMEN

[alessa9]

c'est une belle histoire...

[Satirike]

ouais; carmen est une dame vraiment libre. Elle est mon heroine preferee.

pardonez mon francais svp - je suis etudiante.

[rodzaulips3]

Amazing!!!

[FacelessMage]

I love Maria Ewing. She has amazing stage presence and impeccable French. She perfectly embodies Carmen.

[JTmusicguy]

I really like Maria Ewing's voice and how she presents herself on stage. I love how amazing Bizet's music is, and particularly this song; the music is very interesting to listen to and kind of makes you feel like you're in 19th-century Spain.

- I'd like to add that I like the part where the man pushes the gypsy girl into the wall and all you hear is a loud "thump" LOL :)

[mmhp07]

lol that was funny - especially her comeback!

[Phantess]

Haha! I can't stop laughing. She comes back like "You want a piece of me!?"

[agradoletal]

Su energia , la proyeccion de su rostro , es impresionante , y sobra mencionar su gran interpretacion vocal

[redtubeline]

Maria Ewing - none portrays what we see as a Carmen any better. Her stageing is awesome not too mention her voice.

[annao273]

I agree that she's quite excellent, though I must say that in my opinion Teresa Berganza is the best Carmen ever.

[cantanteporsiempre]

Berganza lacks sensuality!, altough vocally is excelent!!, but it´s not the real Carmen, Ewing is far more attached to the rol in my opinion, she makes me remember Dorothy Dandrige

[Baritono90]

è bellissima quest'aria la mia preferita.....

[FoggyRoad81]

haunting and incredible. She is such a risky singer, I love her.
