I'm surprised by the criticism of her vocal style. Rosina is a young girl, and she is a bit on the hysterical side. I liked this interpretation. I think her voice is lovely and beautifully produced. She sings on the voice and her vocal line is perfect. For me the bottoms are a tad dark and a bit bottled sounding, but I'd love to hear her live, first, before making an assumption that this is always how her voice sounds. And frankly, at 50, she's singing Rossini much better than most.
Rosina is a late teenager or early 20-something; she is going to go from crying one minute, laughing the next, to being haughty the next: that's the way girls of that age are. Wonderful performance!
what does she think "Rosina" is???? why is she "shouting" & "crying" ???? I think there is some misunderstanding, in terms of language & culture, as well as techniques?? the way she deliver "...ma"!! wow. simply hysterical. Rossini phrases should never be "attacked" like this, though majority of audience in Korea might not know the difference between Rossini and broadway musicals!
This is more an example of Can Belto rather than Bel Canto - completely unnecessary for such a terrific instrument. This interpretation is way overdone. Marilyn Horne showed that deep, dark tones are exciting, elevating the hopes of all those mezzos who aspired to be sopranos instead. But Horne sang with taste and discernment. Callas also sang this aria like an ingenue, not like the Walkyrie above.
CatalinaDM56, she has a wonderful voice. What part of your appreciation of her voice required you to insult her home? As an American who loves opera, has traveled the world, lived in Europe for years, and learned not to offer gratuitous insults, you can kiss my cowboy butt.
¡Whow! Just wonderful, all students mezzos must have to study hearing Jennifer. Is she a dramatic mezzo? Thanks for posting this magnific video. I can hear one and many more times.
@Mariasonatta A coloratura one, otherwise she wouldn`t have this splendid range and vocal agility. Just listen to those trills! I`ve NEVER heard a mezzo doing better ones! And I`m definetely studying her as much as I can :P Though she`s one of a kind mezzo=my jaw is still on the floor.
I would hardly say that Ms. Larmore wreaked havoc on her voice. She's past 50 now and still sings Rossini better than most anyone out there. Rossini is DIFFICULT to sing, and most singers can't handle it after a certain age; some never. You need to keep the instrument in good shape. We all have a certain color to our voices, and it can sound different from piece to piece. I, for one, absolutely love the timbre of Ms. Larmore's voice, and she has long been one of my favorite singers.
Ennél undorítóbb sötétítést még tán nem is hallottam... A kolorálásban is lassítja, jesszus. S nem ártott volna ha tudja, miről szól az ária, s ennek rendelte volna alá a dinamikát, a tempókat, meg az egyebeket. Az ilyen éneklések miatt utálják sokan az operát, mint műfajt.
OK! so what, a vowel was back every now and then, such things never really worry me, but one has to admit, this is a very special and rare kind of mezzo-voice. I wll give still give her an A-plus for the sheer excitement she brings to singing this music. She is definitely unique.
Yeecch. On second audition, it's pitiful: the awful "behind the tonsils sound of "mio sara". Yuck. And other abominations. She doesn't even wait at some points to finish a consonant before jumping on the next word. This is just ugly.
Hey whoever posted this video.. She still is singing Unuh Vooochay Poooco FUH... This articulation is horrible... It still sucks and remove my comment again you horrible queen.
I agree, however does her articulation of the Italian text not bother you? As an Italian it bother the hell out of me. It is horrible diction, worse than Joan'S in some respect... I hate the sound. Hate it.
Yes of course you are right, and I have just accepted long ago that no Americans save Aprile Millo (who heard Italian spoken as a child) and precious few others in history take the time necessary to study the vowels. It is exhausting, of course, because "o" or "u" can have hundreds of "sfumature" and so it is really a talent in itself for "picking up" languages.
Yes, you are right all the way. Why gloss it over. She was marketed like an Armani perfume at the beginning of her career and she got every major engagement for Rosina and the "mezzo girl" repertoire. Now she's got plenty of competition.
@Turee85 maybe you can teach Bartoli and Larmore how to sing agilitá, why are you Italians always so critical?? By the way, you should try and learn some English first, this way you could spread your venom to more people...
She is an absolutely fantastic mezzo...in fact it is quite a feat, considering she was educated in the United States. Her mezzo is so rare...you don't hear such dark, creamy-voiced mezzos anymore...it's a lost art. It's sort of nauseating how such ignorant insults are thrown at this artist...it is sort of sad...it's okay, though. The majority of America loves mediocrity.
@CatalinaDM56 Sadly, overdarkening of her voice has wrecked havoc on her voice. There's a reason one doesn't hear such dark sounding mezzos (or other voice types) anymore...our science of the voice and vocal pedagogy has progressed far enough to show us such voice types are exceedingly rare and most people (like Ms. Larmore) who do use such voices do it with false darkening and the resulting pressure leads to eventual vocal collapse. Just look at Maria Callas.
@CatalinaDM56 Amen!!! God, she is spectacular. Those of you who talk about "false darkening" don't know your ass from a hole in the ground. False darkening occurs when you - among other things - "cover" by manipulating the palette. That creates tension and has to be compensated for. Ms. Larmore sings with Garcia (bel canto) technique, which uses the resonance spaces a good deal more than other techniques. Sutherland actually used her voice very similarly.
@CatalinaDM56 Many of the best conservatories in the world are in the United States and many of the top-singing performers in the world right now are Americans.
@CatalinaDM56 "The majority of America loves mediocrity" That statement seems rather odd given that America has given so much to the world in so many areas. I see hostility toward Americans from people who are jealous. Just like when the US decided to play soccer the international community complained when the Americas did so well so early in their participation. People complained that it wasn't fare to allow Americans to play because they are so good at everything.
where's the human spirit here?.. she is a beautiful singer and she's "out there" singing...negative comments are well... just.. negative.. i dunno...i commend anyone who develops their' talent and actually uses it.. brava jennifer
Well what can we expect from the President of the Jennifer Larmore Appreciation Society? Lord.. talk about objectivity.. Look Paul... there are many singers I like that others dislike.. that does not make them dumb.. it is their taste.. Show some respect.. She has bad diction.
Ish. the vowels are so mushy and dark you can harrdly understand them, its a good thing I know this aria well, or I would not know what she is singing.. UGH.. horrible.
And why dont you fuck off ... you know exactly what i am talking about.. The words are mush.. they are worse than mush and you are the biggest asshole in the world.
LOL, ok, well mush brain.. its mush from her mouth.. its terrible singing. its terrible interpretation and how anyone pays to listen to her is a good question. Now leave me alone.. and go listen to that mush and you take a nap.
No dear, I am not frustrated.. These are words, set to music that convey feelings, thoughts and emotions.. When the diction is such that you cannot understand the words, then.. she might as well be singing DUH to all the notes.... This is supposed to be theatre! LOL, I guess that is lost on you. I never like her much .. other mezzos are far better.
Do you happen to know what is considered good "italian"? The O vovels are modified to the AH.. that is good italian.. she has horrible diction.. Horrible.. and horrible italian. So You are the one that needs to take a language class. And dont tell me I dont know Italian.. I am italian. I speak italian. Go to hell.
Basta, Kgar! Crudele! And do remember: whatever goes around, comes around. And be advised: The internet has not abolished capitalization nor apostrophes. Just noting your diction here. Va!

Now dont make me swear at you in "Italian" her Italian sucks.. and you know it.. her o vowels are way too closed and her eh vowels sound like ewuh... It is horrible diction. Now respond in kind, rather than correct my grammar..
For your information idiot., Italian was spoken in my home, while I was growing up, so of course I learned it.And I grew up listening to Caruso, et all.. and their Italian was not like Larmore's My parents were sons and daughters of first generation immigrants. . Now, please dont make me take out my brain so we can start even in this debate! You are wrong..Ms. Larmore's diction isnt much better on the rest of the vids on You tube either.I have listened. And I just shake my head. Case closed.
One thing I have noticed about you U tube queens is that you are very very nasty , when on negative thing is said about your "girls".... For all I know you probably are the same idiot that like Devia.

Devia is a horrible singer.. She doesnt care if she is singing the grocery list.. Ms. Larmore shares her enthusiasm for tectual authenticity.

I will continue to post what I believe are accurate criticisms of Larmore. She is terrible! She should sing Norma with Devia and make us all puke.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Ok, small weenie.. you obviously have personality issues, because I have read all the comments on this vid.. and I see that others have problems with it too, and when they point that out,, you go ballistic.
Prefere soprano in the role of Rosina, but, to be honest, Jeniffer does it good - with a good mezzo Rosina can be same joy as when soprano is singing.
pweny why do you hate people you has another opinion about things you like? and why do you take it personally? you don't even know her. You shouldn't idealize anybody, because nobody is perfect. You can pick any singer and you'll find songs that don't match them. And this is the case, there's a bunch of singer who do a better version like: Ewa Podles, Elina Garnaca, Tresa Berganza even Cecilia Bartoli...
no me gusta, sencillamente creo que es feo hacer exageraciones con la boca, qudarse mil siglos en una nota con un "vibrato" que es un poco "raro", ....como GRITA!!!!!!!
Bravissima! Congratulations! Jennifer Larmore, 1st place: The "Una voce poco fa" Contest. No words could describe the new dimension and color you gave to soprano singing. Love you!
Wow! Astonishing technique. I´ve heard of her for a long time but never had the opportunity to appreciate her art. With no doubt a performance that represents a vocal class itself!
no es mala. su voz engolada es bastante regular. pero por Dios!!! ojala algún día esta mujer se cruce con la partitura!!! rossini le pegaría con un látigo, no respeta ni las notas escritas ni el tiempo, a veces alenta y otra va a los mil km/h. de todas maneras son muy buenos sus "legatos" me falta un buen "messa di voce"
The two cannot be compared...Larmore is leaps ahead of her in scope of repatoire and sings with emotion rather than mere showing off, which Bartoli does quite well.
no me gusto... creo q grita mucho! sin ofender.... no es un canto delicado, es demasiado emocional y me desagradan sus cambios de voz, es como cuando la voz se situa en distintas partes con distintas coverturas y colores x.x, y sus coloraturas no son buenas, prefiero mil veces las interpretaciones deelina garanza y cecilia bartoli
She won! Well, she got lots of won, so she sang at the top of her voice. :-)

Ok, small weenie.. you obviously have personality issues, because I have read all the comments on this vid.. and I see that others have problems with it too, and when they point that out,, you go ballistic.
You bore me.. Peace out.

Prefere soprano in the role of Rosina, but, to be honest, Jeniffer does it good - with a good mezzo Rosina can be same joy as when soprano is singing.

I think you mean the other way around. Occasionally a soprano can do this justice.

Oh for God's sake! Rossini wrote Rosina for a mezzo! Inform yourself! And learn to spell! Jennifer! Not Jeniffer! Geeze oh Pete!

pweny why do you hate people you has another opinion about things you like? and why do you take it personally? you don't even know her. You shouldn't idealize anybody, because nobody is perfect. You can pick any singer and you'll find songs that don't match them. And this is the case, there's a bunch of singer who do a better version like: Ewa Podles, Elina Garnaca, Tresa Berganza even Cecilia Bartoli...

We are in a mature free society where every body can express their opinion, aren't we. Only CHILDREN tell others to go away or shut up

Mature? That's hilarious. Do me and everyone a bigger favor. Put a video of YOU doing this aria so we can all rip it apart. I DARE YOU!

I was certainly amazed at the volume, but it was too overbearing. It lost its playfulness. I enjoyed listening to it, but she seemed just too pumped.

Bravissima! Congratulations! Jennifer Larmore, 1st place: The "Una voce poco fa" Contest. No words could describe the new dimension and color you gave to soprano singing. Love you!

Wow! Astonishing technique. I´ve heard of her for a long time but never had the opportunity to appreciate her art. With no doubt a performance that represents a vocal class itself!

no es mala. su voz engolada es bastante regular. pero por Dios!!! ojala algún día esta mujer se cruce con la partitura!!! rossini le pegaría con un látigo, no respeta ni las notas escritas ni el tiempo, a veces alenta y otra va a los mil km/h. de todas maneras son muy buenos sus "legatos" me falta un buen "messa di voce"

I´m sorry, but for me it isn´t better than Cecilia Bartoli! This is so "hoooo" - i can´t describe it in English. But Cecilia is better like MUSICIAN!
barborakozakova 4 years ago
The two cannot be compared...Larmore is leaps ahead of her in scope of repatoire and sings with emotion rather than mere showing off, which Bartoli does quite well.

They will not be compared.Very different voices.Two great singers.

Almost as significant as her great voice,
and the new Grammy (!) is that she's an unpretentious non-scandel-noodel ANTI-DIVA
with a real sense of humor!!!

no me gusto... creo q grita mucho! sin ofender.... no es un canto delicado, es demasiado emocional y me desagradan sus cambios de voz, es como cuando la voz se situa en distintas partes con distintas coverturas y colores x.x, y sus coloraturas no son buenas, prefiero mil veces las interpretaciones deelina garanza y cecilia bartoli
