Katia Ricciarelli - Catalani - La Wally - Ebben, Ne Andro

[Streyk266]

gensaäääääääääääääääääääää haut ^^



[7bbuwe]

Gute inpretation, brava Katia

[callastoujours]

Horrible.

[walkingwithlordfusaw]

how beautiful



[hcgiulia]

fantasticaaaaaaaa

[razzledazzle200]

Beautiful voice, horrible recording.

[FeeTurbule]

@razzledazzle200 yep!

[hammer55292]

She has a very powerful voice, no doubt. I think she may have over-dramatized her performance. I'm a rabid Callas Fanatic, so obviously I think her rendition can't be touched. They are all great singers though.

[FeeTurbule]

@hammer55292 I got your point, Im a Callasian too... But please, have interest at Shirley Verrett for example...

[Ellevius]

Yeh.

[kmillard]

Trivia quiz time..... Which soprano portrayed Desdemona in Mario del Monaco's final stage performance of Otello??? Hope I didn't make this question TOO rough!! ;-)

[robbyvenetian]

Io mi chiedo come mai ha fatto successo. Sinceramente si sente molto di meglio.

[NKWIAM]

Sorry Jappeloup but I do hear a heartbeat sound at 47,48,and 49 and even at later instances but that is not to say that I do not like this video. I love Ricciarelli, she had a wonderful voice as well as being very beautiful. Too bad she did her best to shred it.

[Jappeloup100]

No comment since one month and the last one about a heartbeat noise !!!???

What a Voice !!!!!!!!!! And she's very Beautiful !!! Angel's face !

[NKWIAM]

Does anyone else hear what seems like a heartbeat at 0.47, 0.48, and 0.49?

[KRYTEN451]

I think there is a problem with the Right channel of the Audio.. The sound goes only out of the Left speaker (headphones in my case)

[montag1982]

Brava Katia Ricciarelli! Il portamento comincia ad essere un po' troppo accentuato, ma il risultato è comunque molto buono. Il sincero lirismo è una delle doti di quest'artista, insieme a una spiccata presenza scenica, a un notevole senso interpretativo e alla purezza timbrica. Molto buono!

[mlc2005]

What a beautiful aria, so haunting and stunning. I LOVE this version, although if you like this song, you might want to check out Callas' recording, as many regard it as the definitive version. Thanks for posting!

[robertdonkers]

You know she performed it even better during a concert in Hollandin the late 80ties, her pianissiomas were out of this world, so haunting as you say.

[AngelicaGanea]

Very Very nice...

[finadini]

!Viva la Opera¡

[compeld2sing]

You're right, smoothiw. She does do a good job, actually a great job. (5*)

[NKWIAM]

katiaterarocks, I would like to call you an idiot but that would not be polite so I won't. Ricciarelli was one of the most beatiful singers ever and now, as she gets older, is still a handsome woman. But what that has to do with her singing is a mystery.

[mentalmanperry93]

Just wonderful voice and emotion, fitting for the aria! I think the conductor is Alberto Peyretti, from a concert she gave in 1991. My absolute favorite soprano- what she does with everything she sings is so purely exquisite! It excells in beauty and form and entertainment! Bravisima!

[corez3009]

nicht hübscher, aber besser als netrebko :p

[Coloraturissimo]

UNREACHABLE CREATION!!! Meravigliosa, BRAVA!!!

[katiaterarocks]

who would tape a ugly old lady?!??!!!?

[dianabrunette]

as we can see you dont appreciate the music, i bet you do prefer trash music but anyway, trash belongs to trash... if people has the privilege to love this music also can listen some ordinary one.. soo.. capisci?.. ooh and by the way, you have to put "AN " before a vowel so, in your words would be AN ugly.. of course, the ogly one here is you.

[Phonologie]

This Aria is amazing with a good singer and good coordinator(director), goes magic.

[emmatoth]

What has this anything to do with this music?

Please take your argument somewhere else.

This is a wonderful interpretetation of La Wally. Brava.

follow my rules!

They are 7!

Otherwise it will not be ended!

I will not stop!

[TheInquisitive4Ever]

Sandrik-Georgian buttboy. You should be living in shame instead of blurting out nonsense on YT. While your country was being evaded by the Russians what were you doing? You were waiting for them with open cheeks, while your gov't was begging the West for help. Basically, you wanna be Russia's bitch instead of living like a human being in freedom. No wonder Georgians have been the bitch of a major nation throughout its history. It's an inferior nation as it is full of people like you.

1.Stop your mentor speech we don't need your silly advices!

2.We Georgians and Russians are orthodox brothers forever!

3.Your time on the Earth went away!

4.We were, are and will be forever!

5.Look at your own problems, which you have more and more!

6.Take it easy-my friendly advice!

7.And go away from my favorite videos!

[jasminangel]

dear person,

i have all compassion for you and your country, and i wish you peace. excuse the americans for their ignorance and rude comments!

and may you be free of the fighting and come to great peace...russians are very spiritual people with great deep souls.

sorry for americans being so shallow...i apologize on their behalf!

[noncondition]

Really a very good job. Nice also Tebaldi's release.

[robertdonkers]

I just can't help it, for me there is no one who can sing it with more feeling than Katia, unbelievable. When she was in her prime she was hard to equal. She simply raised the bar with this aria.

[sandrik100]

She is an angel.

[albertthrelkeld]

I found this reading rather disappointing. Ricciarelli certainly has a sumptous voice, but her singing can be a bit too artsy. Yes, she has beautiful pianissimos and long phrases. However, she delivered this aria with so much introspection and slow tempo that she really didn't "deliver" the aria. I don't think it reached the audience with the impact she may have herself felt.

[dallasglt1]

Wouldn't the conductor have set the tempo?

[albertthrelkeld]

Not necessarily. The performance ideally is a collaboration between the soloist and the conductor.

[EspanaLady]

Once someone starts analysing the quality of such godess's voices - they proof, they have no respect and nothing worth listening to them.

[kamikazekate]

Im just wondering do some people have a constant fuzz in their ears??? That was fantastic!! FAntastic Katia

[Rafed1221]

This is one of the most beautiful recordings of this Aria I have herd. Her musicality,and technique rank superb!!

[jbj1963jbj]

One of my favourite sopranos. Listen to those haunting pianissimos who can do that better. Full of nuace and feeling!

[xilpix]

She had a very beautiful voice, but she lost it very soon. In the 70' she was amazing, later her voice has gone away.

[00ceroalaizquierda00]

Muy buena de las mejores interpretaciones que he oido de esta aria, aunque sin duda l interpretación de Callas es insuperable..

THANK YOU!!

[nobisotti]

grazie, Katia....

[razrhawg]

this is a very good rendition of the Catalani work. I loved this recital very much.

[domold]

i liked very much,it is slower than others,but then you can enjoy its inflections, hey it is not like callas when she was giving concerts on the 70s,which by the way, i find very enjoyable.some people only want perfection,but could they sing like that?when they can,i will give to them the right to find something badly sung.

[arredifestivi]

ha cantato troppa roba non adatta a lei, per il Dio denaro.

Grande sbaglio.

[xilpix]

certi errori si pagano, tutti lo sanno, eppure...

[marioj34]

Katia ha fatto una carriera splendida, certamente sprecata da prese di ruoli idiote, ma ha spleso fin dalla fine degli anni 60... molto giovane per la nostra più grande felicità.

[jm960]

well obviously not sung under the best conditions either. the conductor and orchestra seem clueless and that tempo would kill anybody. flawed in many ways but a remarkably gorgeous voice i find.....she did a lot of stuff that i really respect.

[Tompa4321]

This was very good. I liked this tempo.

[2gther4ever]

The tempo was slow, but I really enjoyed Katia. I had forgotton about her and so was good to be reminded how beautifully she sings.

[pavarottithebest]

Ah katia katia quei tuoi sbagli in gioventù ti sono costati cari adesso.Ah mannaggià se avessi cantato solo il ruolo di Liù,Anna Bolena,Giulietta,Lucrezia Borgia ecc.......saresti stata ancora il soprano dai pianissimi magici.Peccato!

[pollione86]

quanto hai ragione...magari la lezione fosse servita a tutte le altre dive che si sono distrutte e unvece....peccato...La Ricciarelli era una voce rara per brillantezza e proiezione...oggi i più la conoscono per la fattoria....che tristezza

[pavarottithebest]

Cmq io sentito la ricciarelli nel 2005 e fa skifo come canta sembra il movimento della barca la sua voce ed inoltre a tratti è pure calante una cosa allucinante.Mentre in questo video ke forse sarà di 10-15 fa,quando cantava ancora bene,già si comincia a sentire la voce rovinata, xkè ha cantato un repertorio nn idoneo al suo colore di voce come un esempio è questo video nel quale canta la Wally ke è x soprano drammatico no x un soprano lirico puro come era lei.

[robbie3013]

la Ricciarelli.... pensare che oggi e' una marca di cioccolatini... beh, non cantava male quando era giovane, anzi........

[agada2]

does any one know what year this recording was made?

thanks

[DIVOTENOR]

Something is missing. Although it is quite beautiful, it is a little slow to me. Lack's drama to me

[BDSCalgary]

Beautifully sung, but lacking life. Because of vocal problems she indulges too much in "unwritten pianissimi." Though beautiful, they rob the piece of momentum.

[VivaTebaldi]

I have heard better Ie: Tebaldi, but she is not that bad - she lacked feeling a bit - and also she is past her prime - She did not become a bit international star, too bad, the voice was quite beautiful.

[zamolxis7]

Je n'aime pas, je suis désolé...

[baritolo]

Miù che mezze voci sono non voci. Non la sopporto!

[sandrik100]

But she is still better, than your Tebaldi!

[VivaTebaldi]

She is really past her prime, and she has no feeling - a dull performance i must say.

It is so weak - very boring performance.

[katesinger]

......!!?? erm...that was far from boring and without feeling my friend. dont grossly over exaggerate.

[sagalat]

Gorgeous, sensational--ESPECIALLY the tempo. Since WHEN is "slow" boring, pinches pendejos en sus cubiculos con vista al mar?? Is Glenn Gould too slow? And what about Pogorelich Brahms Op 118 #2? Slow? You betcha.  "Boring"? In your dreams, obscurantist philistines!

[bradoperaman]

This is a phenomenal singer. Perhaps a little slow and indulgent here but nonetheless splendid. What great voice! (slightly OT but is she here on youtube under " fattoria lite" some sort of Italian reality show? I hope that's not her

[alepeccia]

Yes, she's been doing reality shows and crap like that in the past few years.

[leontyne2]

Beautiful voice, beautiful lady. Class act all the way! Too bad opera singers have become so boring. They have zero personality these days.

[sandrik100]

Katia Ricciarelli is the best performer of this aria. Her voice is like the voice of angel.

[ezayitas]

I just don´t inderstand why people here talk this way. I think she was as usual... after her first years of good singing, which was VERY SHORT, boaring, too slow, terrible vibrato, all the time scooping... you name it.

[annalisaloizzo]

I agree with you, first years beautiful singing, and a beautiful voice, but here, she indulges herself and the tempo is to slow which makes it alittle boaring. On her defense, some of her pianissimo where quite nice.

[sophiemozart]

she can comprare with freni

[veramour]

Some lovely touches -- a good voice, but... nowhere close to Tebaldi.

[michaud1]

I found Tebaldi more touching and her singing more haunting - She is not bad, but nowhere close to Tebaldi. (She was at Tebaldi's funeral)

[VivaTebaldi]

I do agree with you - i find her voice weak.

She certainly not at her best. Tebaldi is far better than her.

[sandrik100]

My dear friends how can you compare such a Divas like Riccarelli and Tebaldi they are both unrepeateble?! but if you still whant to challeng me, I prefear Riccarelli!

[sophiemozart]

ricciarelli , great!1

[sophiemozart]

l think miss ricciareeli 's voice really like the voice from heaven

[PVcondo]

This was sung WAY PAST her prime, but I remember her singing at the San Francisco Opera during the mid 1970's when she could not be touched by anyone in the Italian repetoire.

[kngiht84]

A definitely 5-star performance.

[bosbriguy]

maria, for sure.

[wwonka2]

I was eating my sleeve through those oozing pianissimi and totally winced on that wailing high B. Been a voice teacher for more than 25 years and still can't figure out what possesses her to phonate the way she does--and HOW she has lasted this long doing so. Hell, I love her anyway.

[Querzeo]

And this performance of Mrs. Ricciarelli, as ussual, but this in particular, is just terrible...! To slow; all high notes coming from low notes, terrible vbrato...I came here searching for something good by her, but I just can't find it.

[ezayitas]

I couldn´t agree more with you. She had just a VERY SHORT perios in her career where she sang better and that was it. I think here she was so slow it boared me to tears and not well sang.

[Querzeo]

It seams like, today, the way to introduce us as music experts is to say bad thinks about Maria Callas...!Like saying bad thinks about Bartoli, as I have already heard, just because everyone love her!! I just don't understand. Callas is not perfect, as anyone, but is and brought somethink new to the opera... I like Tebaldi, of course, but she's just another tradicional, beautyfull, "italian" sound. Everybody like Tebaldi, but Callas... you love, or you hate!!

[FABRIZIO82]

The voice is in pieces after having sung too heavy things. At such a stage of decay, she should have sticked to arie antiche.

[michaud1]

Maria Callas is not better, but Tebaldi is.

[colibridelapampa]

NO!!! Too slow

[Cypalestine]

maria better

[michaud1]

It is not bad, but i prefer Tebaldi's version.

Tebaldi has more feeling. She is past her prime here.

[Orfeus80]

Slow but beautiful. She is past her prime, I suspect late 80s, early 90s...

[Greatfan]

Sometimes Ricciarelli fell into the trap of overdoing pianissimi : A concert I heard in person was almost ' marked ', and I guess here she does the same.She is not in her prime in this video. Very beautiful for microphone but insufficient for a really sung role.

[htshoward]

His tempo is so oddly slow for this aria. I am accustomed to hearing it sung a bit quicker. Katia had a beautiful instrument, but sadly she ventured into repertoire that caused some vocal ruin. It does not say what year this was, but she still sounds fairly intact. Nice job.

[zhangluer]

She is excellent!

[caruso3]

Tebaldi does a better job singing this. But it is not bad. With Tebaldi you could feel the sadness more.

[robertdonkers]

So not true, Tebaldi really did not have that many nuaces, no pianissimo to speak of and screamed anything above A. However, do not get me wrong I do like Tebaldi especially in Refice.

[creidhe]

very well sang..
