Caro Nome - Rigoletto Contest - Sumi Jo

I think Caro Nome is an interesting aria. In the hands of a talented singer, this aria can take flight into more than just a coloratura showpiece. It can demonstrate Gildas happines and inter-turmoil. Again a score of 1-5 for singing/characterization:
Louise Russell - 1971
Margherita Rinaldi - 1969
Erica Sibillo - 1998
Iride Martinez - 2004
Gabriella Tucci - 1961
Andrea Rost - 1996
Faith Esham - 1988
Valerie Masterson - 1981
Natalie Jones - 2006
Christiane Eda-Pierre - 1981
Elena Mosuc - 2004
Elizabeth Futral - 1999
Maureen O'Flynn - 2003
Sumi Jo - 1994
Mariella Devia - 1994
Edita Gruberova - 1988
Mado Robin - 1956

Hope you enjoy!

As a coloratura soprano, I can tell you that our voices aren't nearly as big as those dramatic and lyric sopranos. It doesn't mean that she's not as good as other sopranos.

I hope you can distinguish between large pebbles and small diamonds...

Size is one of the more remote factors for people listening to recordings 98% of the time, quality means a lot more there.

Hermoso timbre de voz..

[saintsopera1]

Awesome!

Singing = 5; Characterization = 4; I like her clear and light voice.

Sehr gut~~~

I did say that having a small voice is not a bad thing. I think she's very good, but she's never been my favorite singer.

[jamesotek]

Not a great recording but worth the listen 4/4.

[Iareto]

I never said he did. Having a small voice is not a bad thing.  I do believe she was much better in this video than she is now though.

[mzmz78]

you are saying she used to......

this is from 1994! when was she better then?

i am sure at least your teacher doesn't sing better than sumi jo.
