Great..do you know if Rene Jacobs is ever going to record this on CD?

I'm not sure but I think neither the cd nor the dvd are available.

This is the "correct" key.... Everybody else does it at the wrong one. As crazy as it sounds...

You see original instrument orchestras like this one are tuned half a step down, so that is the key Mozart would have known and heard!

The high tuning of orchestras started late 19th century and it became globally accepted in the 20th century. Some great composers like Verdi often disagreed with this new "fashion" when it started appearing more and more often.

She will be making her Met Opera debut this 2011-2012 season.

I like her voice. Two Thumbs Up!

I really like this performance of one of my favourite arias. She avoids being over dramatic, makes some original embellishments, and her dark tone is quite lovely. A very thoughtful musician.

She has a "darker" timbre, I want to say, I love it! I think she could sing a little more free, but she definately deserves to be singing at the Met!

I love this! Especially the embellshments!!!!

Beautiful voice and well sung. BRAVA!

Hab in meinem Leben schon bestimmt 1003 Donne Annae gesehen eins ist sicher:

sie muss so sein, wie diese Schwedin sie darstellt.

Es ist eine reiche Tochter. Nicht besonders intelligent, aber phanatisch auf den Erhalt des Scheins bedacht.

Sogar optisch sticht sie als eine Grande der spanischen Gesellschaft durch ihre hellhäutige Natur heraus und ihrem Körperskript gemäß völlig plausibel.

Ihre vokalen Angelegenheiten sind, soweit ich beurteilen kann, nicht schlechter als die von Flemming.

@petatap Oh wow, I have often wondered about the romantic intention of D Anna....do you know the resource for this information? I am researching for an upcoming performance.

[StephanieDeCiantis]

I agree, with this being a half-step down her diction should be flawless. Also, with such little movement and staging, it should only make facial expression and gestures easy to do because she doesn't have to remember complicated steps. She seems a little empty, blank even.

@dramaticsoprano01 I´ve heard her Marguerite from Faust and last week her Thaïs here in Gothenburg and she was marvellous. I think the french romantic repertoire is good for her, maybe Elsa and Elisabeth as well in the future?
