Don Pasquale Contest - Isable Rey

I am hoping that this is a fun way to enjoy some new artists and new videos. The most important aspect of these "contests" is not the outcome, rather, it is exploring new artists and differnt styles. At least that is what I hope my videos represent. This is a fun aria so enjoy.
Again a score of 1-5 for singing/characterization:
Kathleen Battle - 1988
Ileana Cotrubas - 1986
Beverly Sills - 1979
Luciana Serra - 1996
Inva Mula - 2005
Lillian Watson - 1980
Ying Huang - 1997
Edita Gruberova - 1977
Nancy Hermiston - 1993
Susanna Rigacci - 1993
Patrizia Ciofi - 2007
Isable Rey - 2006
Mariella Devia - 1982

[gwright199]

voice is way too heavy for the role--- she's trying to hard to be the light/soubrette soprano, but the vibrato is too heavy/matronly. she'd make a great ugly stepsister in cerentola....poorly cast for this role... 2/2

[gypzyjz]

This aria isn't her fach, but she's good singer and this set and the costumes are AWESOME!!!

Costumes and Set = 5/5!!!!

[justTgerman]

I've heard her a few days ago in Königskinder, where I liked her a lot. but she is more and more getting a dramatic one. not good for this role.

2.5/3
