  • Haha, it seems she is not so glad that you uploaded this video. =) She tells about it on her site!

  • What is the address of this site?

  • It won't let me post the link but if you google her you'll soon come across it ;)

  • Whereabouts did she say that??

  • It's quite the opposite, she IS glad. "The fact that it's out there for everyone to hear is wonderful." and "thank you Sofreya". I would say that's a quite positive comment.

  • Phew! That's what I thought but I thought maybe she'd changed her mind and posted something different in Swedish, my Swedish is not the best :D

  • She is one of the most amazing coloratura mezzos I've ever heard! Her coloratura is as impressive as Cecilia Bartoli's.

  • Loved the opera. So did my goddaughter, 12 yrs old.

  • @Spoxjox It's more of an "Ah, si!" ;)

  • Wow. Like it a lot. I really don't get why she doesn't sing more regularly in middle Europe.

  • wonderful Malena!!

  • Btw, what's with the last word she sings? It's supposed to be "palpitar", sung "paaaaal - piii - taaaaar". Instead, it's something like "pal - pi - si" (4:50). Wha...?

  • The Good: Tremendous coloratura technique. Very nice, clear high register. Extremely impressive speed.

    The Bad: She's weak in the low register, which is obvious throughout. (Seriously, she sounds more like a tessitura soprano than a mezzo.) Her voice, though brilliant and very pretty, lacks lower overtones in high notes. She sings this aria waaaaay too fast, which muddies her notes in some parts (e.g. 4:27) and drains the emotional impact of the aria.

    Overall, very impressive, but not Cecilia.

  • Quelle voix de mezzo magnifique !!!!!!

  • I love Malena so much! <3

  • Sofreya, how about removing the ridiculous argument about Malena Ernman's coloraturas? I don't know about you, but personally I find it quite disturbing... Anyway, thanks a million for the post!

    By the way, you don't happen to have "No Strings Attached" with Malena Ernman and Martin Fröst by any chance, do you? Especially Ave Maria by Bach/Gounod... If you do, please post it, it would mean a lot to me!

  • SIMPLY AMAZING!

    Exceptional!
