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.

She does push a bit near the end (and I dunno what happened with that "trill"), but I have marveled at Mme. Huang's technical ability and musical artistry for over a decade. And such a gorgeous tone!!
Great quality video - Decent voice, a bit generic and flat at the lower register. I'm certain that she has absolutely no idea what she is singing. There is no story communicated here.
mbb - i think you are talking through your big a.... ;) she is actually quite 'moffesque' in annunciation and articulation, she sometimes sacrifices a bit of intonation for the sake of 'saying the words' (well, there was only one Moffo) - it can only be done by perfect understanding of the text sung
