The greatest Soprano and the greatest Tenor of our time singing side by side - what a combination !Of course, Anna has changed a bit from the one who waltzed across the stage singing: Meine Lippen sie küssen so heiß, never missing a beat.
These "Gala" performances should be seen for what they are: giant parties where all should have fun. It was great fun hearing them singing (in English) this American piece. I don't see them singing together in the foreseeable future. Netrebko is now singing Elsa, a future Lohengrin? Wonder if Kundry is too low for her? Don't see her as Desdemona. As for Kaufmann, his best partner (dream-pair) is Harteros in anything they do (Tosca, Forza, Chenier, Lohengrin).
Take a simple song, but when Anna and Jonas sing it, it turns into an Aria. Moreover, no power of the Orchestra or voices of other singers participating prevents Anna's voice from being heard. Her voice has that rare quality of being able to PIERCE through the "wall" of sounds surrounding her. Her voice cannot be denied.
Wow...super performance but why this wonderfull Russian lady adding so much padding to her super looks a few years ago body. Common Anna bring the picture of perfection to our screens ...Love your voice....
Jeg oppfatter å hører Netrebko som en veldig tung betong sopran (russisk)når en hører på hennes La Boheme er det nærliggende å spørre ,er det samme damen,den varme fra bohem til den stemmen nu,hva har skjedd??? Callas og Flagstad liker
BelCanto BigFan C'est bien ce qui m'agace chez elle. Quand elle n'a pas envie de se donner de la peine, elle fait n'importe quoi, ce qui témoigne d'un certain mépris pour son public.
@@lmom7839 ¡¿les parece que están mal esas notas amigos ? Mi osciloscopio( un UTD 202cex ) no le da la razón porque me acusa su la en 467,2 ciclos/seg, nada terrible con una orquesta que afina en 440 . Yo pienso más o menos lo mismo. ¿¡ustedes como midieron
Kaufmann is outstanding ... but Netrebko just isn't right as Maria - and the orchestra was all over the map (I blame the conductor). Overall, not great.
