Rejoice - Diana Damrau 

I am not the biggest fan of Diana, HOWEVER.... her real joy while singing this made me smile from start to finish. Made my soggy rainy Christmas a bit brighter. Truly lovely.

You can never expect anything less from damrau, her performances are perfect.

3:21-3:23: The violinist has this satisfied, expectant look on his face like, "Sing it, sister" I love watching Diana sing as much as I love listening to her. She is so full of joy and so transported. Sure she has an earthly audience, but you know who she is really singing to. :)

Her voice is so clear, in every note. What a performance. Mehta, at last stayed at second level, what is not usual for him. Brava Damrau!!! You took this gentleman to his right place, tthat means: behind.

How it is obvious singing makes her feel some beauty pleasure

Herrlich! Diese offensichtliche Freude am Singen nimmt auch den Zuhörer mit.

Indeed Rejoice greatly! Look at her wonderful smile! Great! Love when preformers act in to what they are preforming.

This is beautiful, most of all because of the passion and conviction in the singing. She means every word!

Just sublime, simply sublime. Bravo, Diana.

magnificent conductor and singer.

This is some of the best coloratura I have heard from her outside of Mozart.

Ebullient and splendid.

amazing trills, truly really amazing over all

Beautiful as always

Bravo Damrau! También me gusta mucho la versión de Von Otter. Saludos.

I like this version.The singer is perfect.I need to study this aria for my examen.Thanks.=)

this version is very good, also interesting to see mehta conducting this masterpiece

OMG she works those runs!

La escucho y la repito, y la repito, y la repito..

Oh, thousands of people wonder for the same... Life's not fair! ;)

No hay como la música clásica

great show diana. Her accent floated back into german in places (e.g.: shout, Rejoice), but her EXCELLENT tone, articulation, and use of ornaments more than makes up for it. I daresay it even makes my complaint seem fussy.

bravo ^_^

Wow! The cellists are having the time of their life at 3:37! What passion! What emotion! (if you honestly can't tell, I'm being sarcastic :P)

My friend, who isn't even crazy about Damrau, has it. One weekend, when I was staying at his house, I spent the whole night watching and rewatching the DVD. I haven't seen it since! I remember the gleam in her eye and the way she turned around really quickly for the quick time with her knife. Yayayayy!

She's perfect, we know that! ;)

@paleryder2 No, it's from a Benefic concert in 2002. It's all in the info :)

can I get the entire video of this concert somewhere?

Diana Damrau, Zubin Metha, great instruments, great executors.... Doesn't lasts to have a magical music (forgetting Haendel...)?????

@AsksOneThing Maybe on the eMule. Give it a try!

1. Agreed! 2. Don't worry, and you are welcome :D

I really really really wanna hear her sing "Crude furie" or was it "Cr ude furie" from Serse... unfortunately I cannot telepathically let her know she needs to record it! lol.

I CAN'T believe you haven't seen it :| Don't you have the DVD?????! :O

You are welcome ^^

@jeihu1 You can't, it is not on sale.

Maybe my next video will be the 'Nur Stille, Stille', from the Covent Garden's production. You'll doubt there if she's an angel! LOL

@Purpurina11 You're welcome :) Good luck in your exam!

So true xDDDDDDD

yap she is:)

Is this from the Ioan Holender Farewell Concert?

No kidding :P

Hahaha...yes please ;-)

Allererste Klasse. Und trotzdem finde ich, dass es eine Kleinigkeit zu langsam ist...... ein wenig schneller wäre optimal! Rein stimmlich jedoch echt perfekt!

Mit dieser Frisur sieht sie am besten aus ich liebe ihre blonden Haare und ihre kalkweiße Haut!!!

I guess exodus was still thinking of the first part xDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

Oh, pity. That was my first thought. I'll think of something else, as you seem to want your friend alive.

Hmmm. I'll think of something. Give me some time.

You do know that this is Handel, right? ;)

Please don't kill my friend and steal his DVD. But if you must, he lives in NY, upper east side.

Too expensive, and hard to find.

STEAL IT from your friend! lol Can't you buy it there?
