Jessye Norman - A Portrait - Dove Sono (Mozart)

[leoniemikele]

The musical and dramatic arc is always well-thought out. So the end result is an experience of great depth-- remarkable.

[leoniemikele]

Wow. Nobody is quite like her-- listening to Jessye is always a religious experience for me.

[wellpelko]

She is the black version of "Callas" ... well, some may think, even more profound ...

[comadrejaastuta]

la mejor interpretacion de dove sono que jamas haya existido

[MGHall07]

there is something quite extraordinary about Jessye Norman. Such fierce musical intelligence and versatility. A beautiful Sieglinde, Leonora, and Countess Almaviva.

[joflordoscampos]

ELA É SIMPLESMENTE MARAVILHOSA!!!!!!!!

[leofarnley]

In life a singer comes along and pulls at your heartstrings Jessye is such a woman beautiful voice !

[tippi02]

When the divine Jessye Norman meets the divine Mozart! This voice is beyond emotions. Such a performance make us better only listening the music. It's the art in its perfect way.

[tervine18]

the best rendition of this song i have ever heard .... it moves one from fist glance/utterance to finish... long live this woman and her music!

[Echtergadiel]

Unübertroffen!

But such an insensible conductor: horrible the balance, especially the sound of the french horn on such beautiful words sung with unbelievable softness: „di dolcezza“ (sweetness) (2:10).

It sounds like the Ship Horn of a boat living the port...

Her voice was created for Dove Sono. Absolutely brilliant!

[tomibic]

Unbelievable that she’s a American! Sadly most American artist focus on the money making business.

[greenvballndc]

instant tears. she is so warm and generous

[ALYSSA09MUSICSTARS]

Breathtaking, wonderful, unique, the best singer in our time - this all is Jessye Norman for me. I enjoyed her in her concert-evenings in Switzerland some times,

I know almost every tone of her great voice, but its always again like magic. To give her some stars is not enough, for her I give the whole universe.

[gitte1958]

amazing - wonderful song and video - thank you - lg gitte

[SopranoLeggero]

I loved!!!

[tensae7]

The feeling and demonstration of Gods love - is truely evident in Ms Normans voice, singing and performance - brava! Brava!

[AriD2385]

@tensae7 I so agree. I didn't realize it until reading your comment, but I think that's why I always feel so mesmerized watching Jessye Norman sing--it's not just her voice, but also her inner spirit, her whole manner. Just overwhelming beautiful.

[darnmat]

Wow... I am jessye norman fan... ones again she captivated me specially with this mozart song... i thought it would not fit her... but, then, i was coaxed to listen to it... awesome....

[Walkemor]

What a great voice!!!!

[PuRpLeHaZe347]

The most beautiful interpretation of this song I've ever heard!!! She's full of talent and has got a wonderful voice.

[kasiakasia777]

If Mozart lived today,he'd be delighted with such a great interpreter of his music as Jessye... Her singing is simply wonderful.

[metiu182]

Great great interpretation!

But I have the impression she's singing in playback. Am I wrong?

Obviously this does not demean the performance at all and maybe is just for shooting reasons...

[khamikins]

I think you're right

[FoggyRoad81]

@metiu182

You can find a live version (and even better one) on youtube. Really, amazing.

[versailles1986]

A "true" Diva in every sense of the word. Style, Wisdom, Grace, Beauty, Class, Talent, Poise. And still a very down-to-earth woman with a heart of gold! Yes, she is a Big Woman. I have seen her walk on stage, and it's like the Titanic! She has a commanding presence. You just know you are in the company of greatness. And her speaking voice.. still music, my god, the woman could read a phone book and make it sound like Shakespeare! I am 45, and have loved Mozart all my life, she nails this!

[JasminaH79]

I love this woman so much.

[eot972]

émouvant et inégalable!

[beymo16]

She has the best control of a voice I've ever heard in my whole life and I'm an opera singer and have studied with other opera singers who teach with their Ph.D.'s

Great job Ms. Norman

[Pitufola]

Voce limpida e cristallina, semplicemente sublime

[agabusdawatchman]

WoW

[FlyingElephant20]

She's great!

check out Bill Clinton spellbound at around 2:30

[mylittlepony34]

This is what I call the voice of God.

[VoyArrasando]

Her and Aretha Franklin share that distinction in my book :)

[courtjesting]

Such a pure and aesthetically pleasing sound. Her control is amazing!

[cashmerequeen]

The most beautiful and breathtaking woman I have ever layed eyes on.

[VoyArrasando]

What a tender and touching video, <3 la Norman, One of the greatest voices the earth has ever produced! I get to see her in May :D
