Frederica von Stade sings Les Filles de Cadix by Delibes

[DivaDeb1234]

Pretty high for her but she has all the notes ! She probably stuck with Mezzo roles as she is very good at them, has all the low notes too, and there is many less mezzos ....therefore less competition...smart lady!

[ARTUROPVIOLA]

interesting ralentandos and Flicka has a natural soprano voice she should have used more, but all in all I think she has 2 voices: a mezzo and a soprano! lucky her! and nice way to sing! charming! but I love also Victoria de Los Angeles version, with a different flavour to it!

[LovesToSing428]

Too slow in my opinion. I like the push and pull of Sutherland's version better.

Flicka puts over a song like no one else! Love how she uses her eyes. Thanks for posting.

This tessitura is higher than what I'm used to hearing her sing!! She's so amazing. I love her!!

... eine Interpretation mit Charme ...

Wenn nur die Tonqualität nicht so grauselig wäre, daß man mehr erahnen muß als man hört.

[colorfulsoprano]

She is so captivating

[rahhes5]

Gorgeous looks and voice. In fact, she is almost unbelieveable.

[33blueberries]

Me likey. Except the flexibility, which is somewhat lacking. Still, me likey.

[No1ZmeskalFan]

I have a copy of her in Hansel and Gretel. I love her. I think i also have her and Te Kanawa (my fav EVER) in Cosi. Her and Te kanawa always blended beautifully to me

[LaBelleHelene]

Indeed!! =D*

[turandot82]

Von Stade is a god. I love this.

[cakehole53]

She is an absolute goddess. I love Frederica von Stade. I have only seen her twice (at the Royal Albert Hall and Cadogan Hall - with Kiri Te Kanawa) and she was amazing. Has she recorded this? I have an old recording by the wonderful Deanna Durbin. Kev

[swanningaround]

O wow!. Frederica, Deanna and Kiri. My three favorites! Did you know Kiri's voice is styled on Deanna's.

[loverflicka]

You all are right!

For me too, and for thousand and thousand people in the whole world, Frederica is not only the best mezzo, but the most wonderful woman inside and outside the stage, and overall, the most charming person in the world.

(Please, excuse me for my frightful english!)

Your English is perfect! It describes Flicka's incredible voice and wonderful personality. I was lucky to meet her off-stage when I lived in New York!
