  • this woman can sing Rossini is a Rossianian Goddess then jump to slow deeply drammatic Mahler with vocal shades that remind of the legendary Kathleen Ferrier and then back to Verdi and Puccini

    She is fantastic

  • Perfect example of a contralto. I love Ewa!

  • Si je ne me trompe, une des rares version "live" et filmée (la seule sur YouTube ?), enregistrée dans des conditions non professionnelles méritoires à Montréal en 1996.

    Pour un certain qui n'aime pas la pièce de Berlioz, elle fut effectivement refusée au concours du prix de Rome, en 1829 !

  • Quelle merveille!!!

  • Stunning. And it appears she can do anything, at least judging by the clips on YTube. Does anyone know if there any plans for her to sing in NYC anytime soon?

  • a piece that many sopranos couldn't sing... and she does this way!

  • This piece is perfect, sadly the musically conservative morons in Paris at the time thought the exact opposite.

  • Fantastic - this is such a difficult work! Brava! Brava! Brava!

  • Podles est juste fantastique de timbre et de projection! et quelle flamme UNE VRAIE CONTRALTO!! Que ça fait du bien mon Dieu!

    Par contre pour moi, personne ne surpasse la Mort de Cléopatre de Janet Baker!!

  • The voice is totally covered. Listen to EBE STIGNANI and Fiorenza Cossotto

  • Where is the second part?
