Does anyone know which recording this was from and if it's available for sale? (or was this a very fortunately opportune but unofficial recording?)

[Lilith89ibz]

@xuxjin It was a radio broadcast from the Met in 2006. Legal recording, but unfortunately, not for sale! I still think they should have made a DVD...

peter mattei is phenomenal here

[tneprescintr]

the notes from 3:30 to the end are probably some of the best sounds i've ever heard out of a human being. I'm just astonished by the pitch! She sounds like a human Stradivarius... amazing man... just amazing.

@Lilith89ibz I would LOVE to see her performing this.

[regulargonzalez]

I can't believe how effortless she makes this sound.

@tCrOMez1990 I hope you mean that in a good way lol

[AccidentalTouch]

Very tasteful and in the period style (although the soprano Rosina...). Especially Mattei gives a very masculine and agile Figaro here. I like!

@Lilith89ibz

and peter =)

[raigekimaru]

for the record, I actually like Mariah Carey. ^v^ but Rossini is not the place for it.

[raigekimaru]

most soprano Rosinas turn Barbiere into a Mariah Carey act (throwing tasteless, out of place high notes and ornaments everywhere) , but Diana sounds great here.

[tCrOMez1990]

her high notes are comparible to the explosion of an atomic bomb gigantic and super powerful
