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

  • @urania1812 stimmt :)

  • OH THIS IS DELIGHTFUL!!!!!!!!!!

  • Delightful, Brava! Warmest thanks for your fine postings here!

  • Göttin!

  • 5 for every thing. She is unique.

  • Why OH WHY in German? :-(

    It's like listening to a Wagner opera in English.

  • 5/5

  • Oh my she's so cute! Brava!!

  • She sings well here. I just can't warm to her timbre or style.

    Singing: 4

    Interpretation: 3.5

  • okay... its not edita at her best, but i can't help, i just love her... her very special sound, even though its long ago. ,-)

    4/4

  • When I hear correctly (poor diction) it is sung in the German language. The acting is 'over the top'. A young Edita though. The voice a bit thin at times. She only shows some of her coloratura at the end. 4/3

  • Like Devia she has a perfect technique and she can modulate the voice at he leisure. I do not like her much in the Italian repertoire, but that's down to personal taste. 5/3

  • Her voice is still not one of my favorites, but it is much more bearable in this youthful performance. 4/4

  • easy and so natural. 4,5/5

  • Cute! 4/5

  • A very entertaining nifty performance. She's a marvelous quite natural comedienne! Vocally, not as natural in the Italian repertoire. 4/5

  • it's genius!

    5/5

  • 5/5. Edita is BRILLIANT here. These vocals are unreal!

  • Loved it!! 5/5

  • That's amaaaaaaaazing. 5/5
