Cristina Deutekom sings Beethoven

A powerful dramatic coloratura soprano voice. Famous Queen of the night, Odabella , Armida, Abigaile. Some may dislike her technique. I beleive she has one of the purest, clearest soprano voices of the 20th century.

very clear. nice! hitting every note perfectly. =)

Moi je suis aussi d'accord avec Eelco et Sesto. La chose est que la voix de Deutekom est hors du commun. C'est une voix surdouée. Il y a le cas aussi de Marís Callas mais disons qu'elle avait une voix moins ample que celle de Deutekom.

@bpicaud1 Deutekom a bien chanté Abigail elle possedait 4 octaves ...

Callas n'a jamais fait La Reine de la Nuit ...

Toutes les divas ont "leurs rôles "

[bpicaud1]

Callas une voix moins ample que Deutekom...hum ! j'ai beau adorer cette dernière, je ne sache pas qu'elle ait chanté Brünnhilde, Kundry ou Abigaille.

@deutekomefran all good voices have something to give or contribute to classical music. The variety is important because it contribute to the enrichment of interpretation.

@eblackadder3 Yep. My favorite recording of all time. I love Maria Stader.

ive said it before that sometimes i just cant stand her, but when she clicks with something, she hits u like a wave of awesomeness like in this piece.

[tomasburi]

It's normal and legit. This technique is called coup de glotte and it was widely used in 19th century and earlier. It's correct historically and more than that we should be thankful, that Deutekom can show us the way how many operas were sung at the times of their creation.

[deutekomefran]

Ni color. La Stader es una soprano sin más. Deutekom es el universo del sonido. Pero,¿cómo no lo ves?.

[eblackadder3]

Maria Stader who had a very similar voice, but better technique also made a fine recording of "Christus" with Jan Peerce and Scherchen conducting.

[edgarbiervliet]

Somehow her voice shines best in the most extreme en demanding repertoire. Just amazing. Has anyone ever heard another soprano hit an E natural like that? There is no audible difficulty in her voice, like there is nothing she can´t do with that voice. But it is not without the needed dramatical tension to make the music come alive.

she has one of the brightest most beautiful tones ever, but her staccati are horrible... still i think the tonal beauty and the size and ringing fullness of her top outweighs her hideous "legato-staccato" or whatever ridiculous name people want to give to her strange technique to make it sound like its very normal and legit
