@Barone Vitellio Scarpia well it is. Is she had stuck to this repertoire she could have remained a good soprano (not great to many... Though many see her as great), but we know what she did instead...
Her piano is the perfection of what a singer can and does dream of, it’s beyond any possibilities almost as is her Incredible musicality and musical intelligence
How refreshing! Such delicacy and refinement -- not merely a freakish display of high note gymnastics -- and she even manages to make it comical in just the right places. DELIGHTFUL!
It takes some nerve for a mature (47) singer to tackle the doll Olympia's gyrations but when the result is as note-perfect and charming as this performance, who dares complain?
I have seen her in some static Lucias. She said once that when she was young she was too concentrated in singing, and she starting paying attention to her acting once she became more sure of her technique.
" Queen of the Night ", I prefer Edda Moser, because she has much more drama in the voice and Queen of the Night this personage is dramatic coloratura and Edda Moser voice is perfect, but " dolls " song here I prefer Edita Gruberova... 😃
Those who never heard her live will never understand... I have seen her from childhood many times in Bratislava and I always cried. I have never heard a more refined technique and perfection from those days... Even her😊 Norma when she was 65 was perfect...
La Gruberova mi ha sempre incantato per come sa' sapientemente usare il Suo strumento vocale senza mai forzare eppoi per la Sua grande capacità di interprete attrice!!!! Una GRANDE del PALCOSCENICO!!!!
Yes. Wonderful. Brava. Love her beautiful clean voice with such beautiful color. I still never expect her high notes because of how rich her voice is in her middle, and yet she surprises still when she effortlessly glides up there.
Interpretazione straordinaria di Edita Gruberova,artista meravigliosa che sciorina le sue virtù belcantistiche con generosità!!!Pianissimi da brivido!!! Grazie del filmato
Ja, sie ist brillant. Es gibt einige wenige Sänger …. aber was meinst du genau? Es gibt in der neuen/ neumodischen Musik auch Sänger die sehr gut sind. Wenige auf der Seite der Oper und wenige auf Pop Musik. Volksmusik ist gut ( aber auch da, super Künstler und welche die ein schlechtes Gehör für sich selbst haben. Ich freue mich Majestra Gruberova zu sehen und hören- .. sie ist mit dem Belcanto sehr sehr sehr gut😘❤️🥰
I agree with you. She does this A LOT in the video The Art of Bel Canto. But this performance was actually quite good, I thought. She is a rather realistic doll too.
@@fidulario I think he was talking about the fluctuation in the line between pianissimo and a mezzo piano, perhaps. It’s quite insane, the amount of control she had.
@ferrykalos But she did! She interpreted all three female roles in 1969-1970 in Banská Bystrica and played/sang Olympia in Vienna in 1970, 1976 and 1977. Furthermore she featured in all three roles in a CD recording with Seji Ozawa and Placido Domingo (Deutsche Grammophon 4276 682-2 P1989).
A wonderful interpretation of this favourite. All coloratura sopranos perform differently giving a unique and personal stamp to this aria. I thought that this performance one of the best I have heard. Bravo ! By the way, she looks very like our (British) actress, Joan Sims in her prime and that is a compliment indeed !
Yes she does look like Joan Sims a bit here. Edita G was always great in arias which required wit and humour. I just love the total mastery of her voice and range of dynamics she uses to bring Olympia to life. Superb!
