I am so totally convinced that Cherubino is 14-year-old boy in this that it's insane to think that he is actually played by a woman.

[GosfordAbercrombie]

hmmm! the ornaments are a little too much for my taste! i'm such a purist but the voice is wonderful!!!!

Just imagine this aria sung by a man, a real man.

I don't care that it was intended for a soprano.

I would like to hear a more masculine version.

Wouldn't it be exciting?

Spettacolare. Cerco di ricordarmi Tove Dahlberg in "Dorabella", ma lei qui E' Cherubino!

vaya! una nórdica que actúa

[treehuggerj]

that was great! the modern clothing helped reinforce that cherubino is a boy, lol

[JuliaMeier1969]

Great!!!

Sung and played!

[Takoon]

Wow! I've never seen Non so piu done like this before! Usually the mezzo isn't very believable as a young boy, but I had to keep telling myself that it was a woman! The costumes helped a lot with that too, but her acting was amazing!

Not that it wasn't lovely, but I wasn't enthralled with the ornamentation. I DO really appreciate the risk that she took by doing that though.

I know, I have the same feeling... Am I the only one who can see a sock or something stuffed down her pants - 0:44? :D:D

Yes, Mozart should be sung cleanly, I believe, but ornaments are in order when a piece of text is repeated. It was done in Mozart's time. Too much of it and it sounds either too Baroque or perhaps Rossinian - which both are way too into the past or future....but contrary to popular belief, Mozart CAN be ornamented, but most effectively when - as said before - a piece of text is repeated.
