I'm so glad you're a mezzo, such an under-rated voice and for me always a delight to hear and when I did choral work such difficult and rewarding singers to work with. I really don't understand what people rave so much about soprano's and tenors. The Bass and Bass Baritone voice together with the contralto and mezzo voice has so much more to enjoy. By the way, Mozart wrote the most sublime aria during this Opera. Come Scoglio is a wonderous aria with an amazing demand for the singers accurate lines.
Berganza,Baltsa and even Bartoli are real Rossinas. DiDonato is pretty bad considering she’s seen as operatic star. The voice is open,vibrato caprino and like most Americans incapable of pronounce proper Italian
@@rugby8-Philadelphia As as professional I gave an opinion,that any singer with professional with knowledge of proper use of chiaroscuro,even vibrato and the importance of pronunciation would give me the reason. You like this woman great. Still you can’t argue the voice is open (sometimes nasal),vibrato caprino and the mistake almost all American singers do. Not studying Italian well enough.
@@Heartlessiceboy A professional what? I have been a Professional Musician for over 40 years. A Music Director, Conductor, Coach, also a performer. What you are expressing is *your* opinion. You are certainly entitled to it, however, that doesn't *Not* make it fact. Purely opinion. Based on your statements, I'm not sure you even know what chiaroscura is.
DiDonato might not have the most fireworks, but I always find her performances to have the most character. Maybe it's because she has such a great public personality, but somehow that very human Kansas-ness comes through, and it's charming. Totally embodies Rosina's young, feisty spirit.
It's really the genius of Mozart to make them all sing differently without cacophony. It's an art he practiced perfectly in Le Nozze di Figaro and othet operas. Wolfgang Amadeus is the great gift to humanity.
An unforgettable performance from all involved! Voices out of this world! The funniest rendering of this opera that I have ever watched and I am not a stranger to this opera. Beyond top marks!!!!
Данієль неперевершена! Впевнена, що кращої оперної діви я у своєму житті вже не побачу. Якщо така взагалі можлива? Ніколи не буде такої як вона. Danielle is unsurpassed! I'm sure, that I'll never see the better diva of Opera, than she, in my life. If someone better like her is even possible? Will never be another like her!
