  • She's amazing! Thank you for posting! Is this taken from the recording with Christine Schäfer as Konstanze?

  • it's just the old tuning christie uses...it was lower back then, Harnoncourt plays Mozart in a 427Hz tuning all the time, it's not exactly a half step, it would be around 415Hz, as in standard baroque tuning.

  • I think for a coloratura with a light voice, Eb vs. E natural doesn't make too much difference. And it sounds like she has room to spare up there. Lovely!

  • Sa voix est parfaite pour cet air

  • Awful, my god!

  • Rien-de-bon

  • wirklich klasse Höhe... und das rubato dort oben finde ich auch gut. Sollte ich auch mal so machen:D

  • Lovely, lovely. Listening to this aria in other performances, I stumbled on this one. It sounded different somehow, and I read the comments that it's in E-flat instead of E. E-flat sounds darker and richer, E brighter. I'll vote for E-major for this aria, it suits the music better. A great singer, no matter what the key.

  • "E flat is infinitely easier than E"

    hm, it depends on the voice. D6 till Fis6 is passagio-area like one octava below. And I´ve heared her singing superbe E´s so I guess it´s just the key she prefers or the whole tessitura suits her more.

  • Impressive vocal agility and ease of expression, even if it is a semitone lower than scored. A delightful rendition, never sounding belted or labored. I have never heard of this singer before listening to this.

  • I wish someone could post the live stage performance of this aria, The gestures that Patricia Petibon is doing while singing is hilarious and super cute!!
