- Roberta Invernizzi, Lea Desandre, Karina Gauvin, Delphine Galou, Vivica Genaux, Magdalena Kozena, Cecilia Bartoli, and Julia Lezhneva sing the aria "Armatae face et anguibus" from Vivaldi's oratorio Juditha Triumphans. Who sings it best?
P.S.- There are variances in the sound volume of each aria, due to the source material. - Hudba
In my opinion, Julia Lezhneva does the best performance. The Word is harmony, balance. Her voice turns into another musical instrument, the best, in favour of that musical piece
Julia Lejneva and Bartoli ,of course!
Lea Desandre is the most convincing in her mastery of the music, particularly in her fortissimo attack but also in the lower register.
I also enjoy the Lea Desandre's performing!! She's brilliant!!!
Мне тоже так кажется.
Roberta Invernizzi is absolutely brilliant with unmatched precision of vocal control.
Desandre and Lezhneva did the best.
Julia Lezhneva
Julia Lezhneva, absolutely fabulous!!
For me definitely Julia Leshneva sings the best. 👏👏👏
ALL are AMAZING!!! If forced to choose I will say Lea Desandre.
You shouldn't need to be forced!
Didn't anyone mention the awesome performance of Léa Desandre? I can't believe it.
Beautiful interpretation!!
I love her voice...
Love her!!!
Me neither. Lea is brilliant at this. Of course these are all wonderful.
And Lea's ability to perform is first rate!
Definitely LEA!!!!
I have no way to say, whichone is the best. Voices and singing techniques are blameless. All are absolutely phantastic, each in her own way.
They all have and express something special. Vivaldi was such a genius that there will be zillions of magnificent variations of "Armatae face et anguibus". Around 1716 for Juditha Triumphans. No surprise that Bach was so moved when he read Vivaldi's compositions for the first time.
Trovo che la Desandre sia impeccabile, un piacere sublime la sua interpretazione. D'altro canto la non perfezione accademica per favorire l'interpretazione e la furia della Bartoli, mi trasporta dentro la tragedia. Bartoli assolutamente divina.
I like them all, because each one has particular vocal characteristics and each one expresses a different musical sensibility.
Lea Desandre
Lea Desandre most beautiful performance, Cecilia Bartoli most powerful.
Yeah! The Voice of Cecília Bartoli is harder than Lea Desandre voice, but the voice of Lea is higher
Lea Desandre!!!
Im playing bass in a metal band.I watch and hear carefully the video many many times.All these ladies are marvelous,with such beautiful voices and techniques.But if i had to choose s singer, without doubt i would choose Karina Gauvin or Cecilia Bartolli cause i think they are the most emotional and most furious.When i heard them i told myself.Damm!They are ready to cut off Holofernes head.
Armatae face the aria is sung after Holofernes's head has already been severed.
Vagans is the head of the army, he discovers the body of Holofernes without a head, and sings this aria where he calls the goddesses of revenge (Furie).
LEA DESANDRE !!!!! Quelle merveilleuse révélation. Brillantissime collaboration avec W.Christie, P.Agnew et toutes ses initiatives géniales. Bravo Léa !🥰
Emoke Barath ... superbe !
Julia Lezhneva sings marvellously!!! ❤️❤️❤️ I like also Roberta Invernizzi’s interpretation, which is different from Julia’s, the tempo is not as fast, but very beautifully sung too❤️❤️❤️
And bartoli always forces the visuals of her performance to this aria to make it unique
LEA ♥
Bartoli and Karin Gauvin have the strongest voices
I've never heard this song until now but what fun listening to it numerous times in a row. I really appreciate your channel. Thanks for sharing your passions!
You are truly welcome!
Lea desandre The best
Invernizzi, Bartoli. It's an incredibly difficult piece.
Roberta has the purest vocal runs n the best tempo
Totally agree with the runs and tempo, but something about Lea and Bartoli also speaks to me.
I'm not able to choose a winner from this incredible group - only my subjective opinion:
Cecilia Bartoli, Lea Desandre, Julia Lezhneva, Delphine Galou - not particularly in that order. They are outstanding!
It's like trying to compare oranges and apples - they are all amazing artists in their own personal expression and they all bring something distinctive to the table. That is the whole "point" of art - to touch us, move us, bring into another world where time stops. We can prefer one over another, which is also valid, but there is no real competition here, kudos to all of them. 👏👏👏
another dumb Murican commentary
@@biopump2000 Bardzo mądry.
Delphine Galou certainly has a unique technique. She sings like a countertenor that never learned to use their chest voice. She jumps the octave on all of the cadences that end where the lower register is supposed to be.

All are awesome here but if I have to choose would be Lea D. Or Julia! BARTOLI should not be here in this list cause she is already DIVINA! ❤💯

hi! all very excellent - it's a hard choice, more dependent on personal preference. you chose singers of astounding talent - i did not know that women could sing w/ such articulated strength! Vivaldi is demanding to say the very least! Karina is the most pleasurable to my ears however if you must know, there you are! this Italian opera is amazing!
This is not an opera. This is an oratorio. Not the same. Vocal and character requirements are different, and sometimes, extremely different.
@@lifeisgood3087 thanks, i will learn more about it.
@@megenberg8 Hope my comment did not come across as being offensive or disrespectful.
I enjoyed too Julia Lezhneva
Lea - No doubt about it!
Lea, of course.
Vivica genaux
1. Cecília
1. Desandre (exceptional technique and sound of voice) what a talent! , Bartoli (great acting d pronouncing) icon! , Kozena (great Kadenza) special mention because of her elegant version: Genaux
Missing: Emoke Barath
After listening a few time more, I want to add Luzhneva to the top3
Quanto amo quest’aria, quanto amo la Juditha e, a mio parere, nessuno mai supererà Roberta nel cantarla; a seguire Vivica Genaux e Karina Gauvin. È sempre una gioia quando pubblichi video Daniel 💖 Alessandra
Resounding and resolutely Karina Gauvin for the win. Wonderful legato, pin point staccati, correct style and approach. Both musically and emotionally. Not to mention a gorgeous natural round tone not over darkened or too covered.
By any metric Superb.
Elles sont toutes bien chacune dans leur style de voix
Roberta Invernizzi, Karina Gauvin and Julia Leshneva are the best for me.
Roberta does the best job in tempo vowel purity and vocal run cohesion. Bartoli makes the impression since no one can ignore her fierce face insane eyes n body language that complements her unique technique
Desandre has clarity like no other.
Different, amazing expressions of same beautifullness. My personal preference Karina Gauvin and Léa Desandre!,,
Too many to mention,all women are beautiful and at times when they speak an sing .I my lyfe is worth living.
Karina Gauvin💗
1- Roberta. 2 - Cecilia. 3- Emőke.
Roberta Invernizzi
Agree with another observation. They are all different but wonderful on their interpretation. Just enjoy!
Dans ce chef-d'œuvre de l'art baroque, cet aria, en particulier, est une merveille d'inventivité et de virtuosité ! Vivaldi avait vraiment d'excellentes élèves à l'Ospedale de la Pietà, pour pouvoir leur confier de tels rôles... *Comparer* ici, différentes interprètes est vraiment interpellant : si toutes font preuve d'une belle virtuosité, j'apprécie surtout Mmes. Kožená et Galou (impressions subjectives, bien sûr !)
Everyone was stunning!
Truly. The general is avenged.
My favorite is Karina Gauvin. Her coloratura is very smooth while still being very precise, but more importantly, her voice sounds dark and menacing. In my opinion, this piece needs a voice that either is dramatic or can sing in a more dramatic style. This piece also needs a voice with excellent chest voice coordination and that is also something Karina Gauvin does well.
Alle Interpretinnen sind von ausserordentlicher Klasse und verdienen verglichen zu werden. Hier spielen sicherlich persönliche Vorlieben eine Rolle. Mir persönlich gefällt sowohl das Timbre als auch die Interpretation von Lea Desandre am besten.
All interpreters are of exceptional class and deserve to be compared. Personal preferences certainly play a role here. Personally, I like both the timbre and Lea Desandre's interpretation best.
Karina Gauvin is The Best!
Heureusement qu'il peut y avoir beaucoup d'interprétations différentes ! L'idée d'en faire un concours me semble bizarre. La question devrait être : quelle interprétation préférez-vous aujourd'hui ?
Lea
Roberta Invernizzi by far
They are all wonderful. Why pit them against one another? This is not the World Wrestling Federation. Just enjoy each of them for their consummate artistry.
Even with the poor recording I have to give it to Delphine. She just has a voice made for Vivaldi. That said, Cecilia and Julia are incredible and there aren't really any stinkers in the bunch. Thanks for posting
Roberta Invernizzi! she nails it
Invernizzi, Bartoli. Italian women have the right temperament for this kind of aria. The only one out of the italian group is Karina Gauvin, who kills this aria. Right temperament, right voice. Everything. She's in a class of her own. So underrated, yet, one of the best singers around.
I agree with you Arthur.
If there's any logic to this reasoning, Lea Desandre may be French but she is half Italian by decent. No wonder she did so well!
Die unterschiedlichen Aufnahmequalitäten lassen eine genaue Beurteilung einfach nicht zu.
Alle geben zweifelsohne ihr Bestes. Meine Favoritin ist Les Desandre mit ihrem grandiosen
Ensemble Jupiter. Sie vermag am besten das „Furioso“ (Furioso (italienisch; rasend, wütend, wahnsinnig) zum Ausdruck zu bringen.
Leider steht Cäcilia Bartoli trotz immenser Dramatik aufgrund ihrer Stimmästhetik an letzter Stelle.
I have listened to the voices for a long time, in my opinion, the most moving is roberta invernizzi and with Magdalena Kozena in second, I know this beautiful vivaldi aria well, the most moving voice is indeed roberta invernizzi!
Julia Lezhneva!!!
Vivica Genaux просто супер исполнение, красивый тембр голоса.Она неповторима! Браво Vuvika!
Julia Lezneva definitely
Lea Desandre et Delphine Galou
Julia 😺
Léa Desandre, mais une mention spéciale pour Vivica Genaux qui me touche beaucoup.
Invernizzi is the best. Excellent..
In my opinion. 1 Gauvin (most natural), 2 Roberta (gracious), 3 Lea (impressive). But they are all good and very different
Not the most precise but overall Desandre’s version does it for me
It's the most "furiosa"!
# 1 is no doubt Roberta! I'd give # 2 to Julia. #3 is Lea; very passionate, the final note is absolutely compelling but to me it feels like the rhythm is somewhat, err... imperfect. Probably it's only me, sorry Lea...
Bartoli >>>> Gauvin >> Lezhneva > Desandre = Invernizzi
Con Bártoli estoy sumergido en la tragedia, inigualable interpretación, más allá de su caudal vocal y excepcional voz.
Desde Buenos Aires - Argentina
Bartoli es una dotada, una voz que transporta, saludos también desde Argentina!
Roberta Invernizzi, then come the rest.
Lea Desandre IMHO
Que encontro fantástico dessas belas vozes. Um brinde aos céus por termos essas maravilhas na terra.
Julia Lezhneva et Lea Desandre
Léa, Léa, Léa!!!
Roberta invernizzi is the best!!!
Bartoli por su voz y Desandre por su presencia...
Kozena but also loved Genaux and Galou. But on another day may choose another. Much to admire in all
Lea hands down
Karina!!!
Lea Desandre + Karina Gauvin
For me, Roberta Invernizzi and Karina Gauvin are the best. Hands down
Lea!
Cecilia bartoli
Both Lea and Cecilia are magnificent and equally impressive, but all the singers and instrumentalists display fantastic artistry and technique.
For me Roberta Invernizzi and Delphine Galou
Perché scegliere! Ognuna di queste artiste d'opera a la propria voce è tecnica di canto ed è giusto che sia così. Quindi non facciamo classifiche, sono tutte brave e meritano un bel, bravissime!!!
Roberta Invernizzi, Cecilia Bartoli and Vivica Genaux.
What a wonderful video, I've been thinking the same
Amo demais Karina Gauvin
