I'm Italian and german (bilingual) and I have to say her italian pronounce is really PERFECT !!! I do understand all the words and her italian is magnificent - for example she perfectly does the differences beetween the open "e" and the closed "e" ; beliceve me : she is really OK - and wath a nice voice , the "legato" here is very demnading and she does it very well !! Congratulation Miss COSTEA , you did it !!!

Very nice sound, darker voice, hard to understand her words, her vowels are quite covered! But who cares, sounds beautiful

Is that a humble opinion? Please post your own sung version of this to illustrate the perfection possible. In the meantime, I will try to perceive this unpleasantness to which you allude. This woman is a really fantastic singer. This is a very delicate and demanding aria which sounds deceptively simple. Anybody who has actually sung it must appreciate the ease with which this lady presents it.

in my humple opinion... a little too sharp and a vowel "i" [the sound "ee"] is not produced in the same place as other vowels what makes it unpleasant to listen esp. while lirical parts (e.g. "dove sono" moment)
