Very beautiful voice, knowledge of belcanto; better legato and major security in high notes would be necessary. Nevertheless he is lovely. Thanks for posting

WOW, she is amazing, i think if sha was more beautiful she would be more famous then Netrebko because unfortunatly its like that these days

[magdajilek]

a esta mujer con voz de crista, cuando era jovencita,, le dijo un dia un profesor de musica que se debia dedicar a otra cosa que no fuese la musica lirica porque no llegaria a nada! Que vista tuvo el pobre señor! entonces llegaste llorando a mi gabinete de estetica en Alicante, y yo te dije que serias una gran soprano! El tiempo me dio la razón, y desde entonces querida Ana-Maria sigo a distancia tu carrera, cantas como los angeles, pero es que ademas, eres una persona maravillosa.. ..

Jeez from the comments you would think that priestess' don't come in all sizes.

Kudos to those who listen and appreciate, given some of the less endowed both physically and talent wise in this contest.

i am loving this. reminiscent of caballe

[dulcamara66]

Devo dire che questa artista è davvero brava nel legato e nel fraseggio un po' di fatica nel Si bem ma nel complesso direi molto molto bene.

Who is this singer? Don't know her, she's really good... it's true she's much better han many other performers here (I'm not talking about the acting, but appearently no stage director knows how to help singers in this prayer...).

Well done Ana Maria, very good, and much better than other more famous stars ! 3.5/3.5 out of 5.
