Lovely voice indeed, but clueless artistically This is a sensuous song of seduction, just read the libretto and you'll see,,it doesn't take a rocket scientist Ms. Jo, however, makes it sound like a pastoral or a lullaby Listen to Beverly Sills and be ready for the raging hormones this number was meant to elicit. This lady also starts many of her trills on the bottom note, which is incorrect stylistically for the period, but easier to forgive than the sexlessness..
I have heard quite a few versions of this beautiful pice of music and this is by far one of my favourite! Such a graceful and pure version. Absolutely amazing!
Never a great fan of Sumi, but this performance is indeed exceptional. The phrasings are elegant and delicate. And what about the piano play? Just great!!!
So beautiful. I love Sumi Jo, and what she does with the repeat of the A section here. But does anyone else here the diction getting weird on "grate nel sen" in multiple places? Like going to "sah" instead of "sen"?
