    J'y connais absolument rien en chant lyrique, c'est pas mon truc, mais quand j'ai entendu cette merveilleuse voix à la télé lors du concert de Paris , j'étais scotchée.

    very beautiful agile coloratura, and very good diction and phrasing. this is why she is the prime coloratura soprano in the world today and is why she is the principle in many roles at the met and la scalla

  • @operassassinOperaAssassin

    A fan of her singing, but would love to hear a real trill and better pitch tbh.

  • @stevenhonig5713
    @stevenhonig5713 Před 8 lety +26

    She's wandering around in some land of pitch, never really on one. She certainly isn't listening to the pianist. Lots of pressure on the voice, and spread vowels that cause her to go flat. A lot of missed notes. She's perfect for the Met.

    • @anandy9292
      @anandy9292 Před 6 lety +8

      really poor evaluation, she actually catches more notes than most sopranos who perform this arias do, the trills and coloratura phrasing throughout was way superior, and her pitch is just fine, her voice is just that way and is obviously amplified by the mic

    • @durcheinander5554
      @durcheinander5554 Před 6 lety +8

      She has tension in her lower jaw, I think that's what causes most of her problems (the flatness, the poor pitch and the "muscling" of the phrase).
      I am also young and poor. Unfortunately I'm white, shame on me - but then at least I'm a woman:D Do you think judging athletes for poor physical preparation is "bitching" too, Lucas? It's their job. Opera is like singing Olympics, either you have proper techinque or you don't, of course people are gonna notice.

    She definitely wasn’t flat lol. As someone with perfect pitch. She actually was coming in a bit over in like two spots but not an issue for me at ALL .. this is wonderful and she colored this beautifully.

      sutherlandfan64 She's at the Metropolitan now.I'm sure she must not be that bad. The one you're listening to now she is performing at Carnegie Hall. I'm sure she couldn't sing in those venues if she was as bad as you say she is.

      @Ms Sholomey You are, sadly but truly, absolutely correct, and too kind. She really does not understand this although she has studied opera for so long. Listening to this simply ain't fair to musicians. OK....she was born with good vocal,chords and has been given good teachers but...... Ever heard Bartoli do this???? oh dear.......

  • @machovoce6826
    @machovoce6826 Před 10 měsíci

    At times she produces lovely tone, and she's beautiful to look at, but she has nagging intonation issues, periodically runs out of breath, and has no trill. In the cabaletta she "skates" over the fioritura, which is amateurish. This music is incredibly difficult to sing well, and she does try very hard -- but it also looks like it. As for the pianist, how did he ever get onto this stage?
