For record

[kngiht84]

Netrebko is yucky in bel canto and her voice itself is not even suitable for this role. (Not to say that she had a very very difficult time trying to articulate this aria)

[miapro]

her voice is "too good to be human"...maybe she is really a bird ha ha

[VL2891]

I love this woman and her singing so elegant and intense!

[LeCoconut]

I LOVE how perfect and amazing her chromatic scales always are. Love Sumi!!!!

[johnnybouhaha]

I think in ah non credea, she is a bit too strong, and less atmospheric and dreamlike than what she ought to be. She is more secure in virtuoso pieces like ah non giunge. The same was with the mad scene from Puritani. She is however an impressive and accomplished artist.

[wrongforthat]

She is good at Bel Canto. No doubt about that.

On a purely trivial note:~

The delightfully talented and irreplaceable Sumi is SO tiny!

I saw her in recital at Covent Garden some years back and could(I was in the stalls) see the shoes she was wearing,they had the tallest heels imaginable,I was quite scared in case she tripped!

Now(serious mode) she sings this so amazingly,and manages to hide all the technical side of her voice in the beauty of it's sound.

Brava Sumi.

Es fantastica Sumi Jo, en la agilidad enorme, sus fiorituras, trinos, escalas son hermosas, y flotan a velocidad, realmente una soprano de grandes agilidades.

MAGNIFICA!!!!!

[thomastmwc]

Ah! Non Giunge the faster the better she nails it the conductor nails it, bravo :D!!!!

@SrTopocho Es verdad, me olvide de ella, lo que pasa es que me llevo por los videos de presentaciones en vivo mas que po los discos.

@gencerito Porque Bellini ES coloratura. No se puede confundir el bel canto con el verismo.
