  • Uh... Her eyes are very expressive. Looks sweet. Her voice is a little bit dark, but can reach some high notes perfectly. Is she a mezzo?

  • Yup, she's a lyric mezzo.

  • Anne Sophie is not a singer- she is one of the great artists of our time. She is one of the few people in any field of endeavor who seem to be masters of absolute perfection. She still sings beautifully, and she still brings dignity, artistry and understanding to everything she does.

  • gustavox. Yes. She is a mezzo. She is possibly the best in the world. This lady exudes class from every pore.

  • wonderful dynamic variety and the timbre of her voice - mmh, delicious

  • OHHH MY GOD!!!....WOOOW!

  • She sings it beautifully! Her voice has a rare color and she sings the most difficult scales with great ease. High notes are also superb. Her interpretation reveals the great master, singer ans musician! Bravo!!!

    One of the best mezzo I have ever heard.

  • Одно из лучших исполнений!

  • wow, look at those diamonds.

  • I love her. She is a superb singer and a major artist. The vocal colour is just right, she can do pianissimo and trills and high notes and coloratura with elegant, understated ease, flirting with the music deliciously. Watch this, THEN go compare to the hysterical, wide-eyed, yodelling, machine-gun show-off vulgarity of Bartoli!

  • @swanningaround  Yes; class indeed.

  • One of the few mezzo's whose coloratura is quite accurate and flowing, unlike the aspirated, not as pleasant to the ear-type coloratura that you hear from other mezzo's who shall remain nameless... you know of whom I speak. Both are wonderful musicians, however.

  • I love von Otter.  She's so classy in everything she does. She was only 31 here (or 30 going on 31 that same year)!

  • I saw her sing this opera at Covent Garden. Critics described her exquisite finale as a "benediction"; and they were right. I have never heard such delicate, uplifting, dazzling singing. Refinement, integrity, beauty, joy: The triumph of goodness, just as Rossini intended. A lovely reminder, thank you!
