Gorgeous scene and aria from Bellini's opera, I think is Netrebko's best reading of a bel canto heroine. Her high Db's are truly gorgeous, and her tone at certain moments reminds me of Joan Sutherland.

Is this from a cd or live performance?

Studio version of the full opera recording

I agree it was stronger, especially the young Sutherland. But, Dame Joan's lower register got stronger later. There is a posted video of her Lucrezia Borgia here on Youtube. An Australian performance in1977 I believe. Not the Covent Garden performance in 1980. Listen to her low Bb in "Era desso il figlio mio". You might be surprised.

I've listened to her "Norma", and her Anna Bolena. Her low register was never strong, it was very much like Gruberova's.

I can't wait to get this recording!!!!!! I own the Mei/Kasarova, Sills/Baker, and Ricciarelli/Montague sets, but I think the Netrebko/Garanca combination is going to be the best!!! Netrebko's voice sounds so velvety and plush, while Garanca sounds so rich, full and ardent.

I'd go so far as to say, this is Netrebko's best recording contribution to opera!

@teleblanx Anna Moffo was also very beautiful.

[teleblanx]

She is the most beautiful opera singer ever!

geh selber in Rente,

[Lochner41]

Quatsch!

[arturo8402]

Thats the thing...I HAVE listened to other recordings of her, and they have all left me wanting more, especially her attempts in the bel canto rep.

Certified Intergalactic! Definitely worth listening and watching.

Not quite, her Lucia is not good, her Sonnambula is somewhat sloppy. She is good as Mimi, Violetta and the Russian roles. There have been far more versatile singers, such as Montserrat Caballe and Maria Callas. The thing is, usually in bel canto her coloratura is sloppy, specially in later years.
