Anthony McGill's playing is brilliant...as always!

[opmaus]

Is this really a serious question? Susan Graham is one of the best mezzos out there today, period.

[Helca01]

Great.

[theinkbrain]

A few misses on the arpeggios I think, and weak chest notes without much resonance. I noticed her eyes only change expression at the ends of phrases and stay fixed during. Ennio needs to show a lot more power and conflict and desperation. This is a very girly rendition.

[barbacoa666]

Agreed. She's my favorite singer. And if I was single, I'd definitely be happy with a woman this attractive.

[bogdiworksV2]

in fact, based on the productions I've seen her in, she's got some excellent acting skills. And she's far from ugly :)

[Kalina Czerwona]

This is MY opinion of course:))) I confirm - it is a very beautiful voice. But I prefer to only listen it and not to watch the singer. Best regards.

[barbacoa666]

If she is a " very bad actress and ugly woman," how did she become one one of the top opera singers in the world for such a long period of time? Obviously, most of the opera world doesn't hold that opinion.

[Kalina Czerwona]

Wonderful voice but very bad actress and ugly woman. I would not like to see her on any stage. Its enough to listen her voice on CD. Sorry but the best Sesto for to day is Monica Bacelli

[Rose Orrington]

her mouth could swallow a small man's head.

I love the trill at 2:27! LOVE LOVE LOVE TRILLS!!!!

[Michelle Koebke]

The moment between 4:14 and 4:18 is brilliant, what a singing actress. Amazing talent. Love her!
