Sing better

Noone can

I don't care how much of a bitch she is.

I LOVE HER VOICE

[marlyharris]

She always sings exquisitely but what's the rush? This tempo strips the music of its depth and majesty. I guess I should just be grateful to hear such a wonderful singer.

@johndlabella That's a very interesting remark you make; thanks!

[PlatoJaspers]

Best tempo for me. Most renditions are way to slow. To wagnerian.

@kutrikb se la traduzione è stata corretta, lei ha insultato un'artista meravigliosa...metta da parte la sua libido malsana..

Interesting phenomenon that a piece can be played faster but sound slower than another version. it's a question of where you feel the beats: twice a measure, or only once a measure, or even... twice in four measures (downbeat of ms 1 and 3). This tempo matches her current vocal abilities, but to me the music calls for something else. On the other hand, most other people's are too slow. I think Mozart's incredibly hard and one reason is the perfect tempo can be elusive.

love battle soooo mcuh, and this of course is gorgeous, but where's the bus!!??...

@marlyharris To each their own. I love this speed, as the usual slow tempo makes me feel like I'm listening through molasses and puts me to sleep. HOORAY for this recording!!

Outstanding singing. It is like an angel singing. I really hope she is the bitch she is rumored to be, because who can tell a person with a voice such as this, and so much ability, anything? We all should be scrambling to kiss her hand.

Knowing how difficult the breathing in this solo is(due to singing it)I understand why she takes it as fast as she does(not that she would have trouble) and did anyone ask Mozart how fast he wanted it sung? Her voice is a gift from God.
