Best Cenerentola ever? Amen! Also the loveliest!
And Bartoli;-)
and prettiest ✨😍
@@ferrocinque3938 I'm not a fan of Bartoli's Cenerentola. I think Sonia Ganassi is better.
But the best Cenerentola ever must have been Giulietta Simionato and Fedora Barbieri, in my opinion.
@@GiovanniGGoriSimionato, absolutely
io c'ero...Lei veramente indimenticabile , peraltro voce poliedrica e molto bella,
e avevo ascoltato sia la Horne...che la Berganza...ma anche la Terrani....che ricchezza di personalità e intenti...momento irripetibile...fu girato come un film ...momento topico .Che meraviglia e che ricordi .....
she looks like an angel.
Probably because everyone who has ever worked with her will tell you that she is an angel!
Yes! And she SOUNDS like a GODDESS!
pro trick : watch series on Flixzone. Been using them for watching lots of of movies during the lockdown.
@Hugh Zev yea, been watching on flixzone for since december myself :)
@Hugh Zev yea, been watching on Flixzone for since november myself =)
This is the best. I've listened to a few and others sound like they are so proud of themselves for singing all the technical stuff they forget to act. She mixes artistry and technicality perfectly. And her upper and lower register and natural and smooth.
Her registers are so perfectly blended so her legato is smooth and her coloratura like butter!
The character abandons potential resentment for a purity of loving intention-it’s a spiritual ascension. Utterly unique in opera! Kudos to Rossini, and to his peerless interpreter!
What an extraordinary recording. Clarity, expressive of the emotional moment, she is one of the great mezzosopranos and a lovely actress as well.
Peter Maleitzke My wife's 👑 💙 favorite mezzo my friend. Arnold Bourbon Amaral
Totally agree with everyone who said this is the best Cenerentola ever! It has everything - gorgeous singers (both in looks and vocals), beatiful production, wonderful Rossini's music and the best conductor for it. A treasure for generations.
stupid as f**k i guess... the best cenerentola of all time is by far Cecila Bartoli: czcams.com/video/qVZNx39xYiA/video.html
thats a fact by 99% of all experts in the world
I do think that von Stade is one of the best Angelina's on record. She has all the elements that you would have wanted for the role: looks, charm, a natural and beautiful tone. One may criticize her coloratura technique but she is more than capable of singing the ornaments :)! In short, she is wonderful ^)!
Not only great technique, but one of the nicest people you could to meet. I saw a recital of hers at Pick-Staiger Hall in Eveanston, Il back in the early 80s and got to meet her afterwarrd. Charming, and gorgeous.
My favorite! Both my boys performed with her when they were at The American Boychoir School in Princeton she was very warm ❤️
Frederica von Stade has the most beautiful voice of mezzo I´ve ever heard. God bless her!
Bella, bella, bellísima... como siempre.
Espléndida, adorable, encantadora, dulcísima... como siempre.
Verla y escucharla: puro placer.
¡Gracias, Frederica, por tantas horas de felicidad!
Yo tuve en honor de verla e directo en Granada. Me enamoró su voz y ella. El timbre más bello que he escuchado. Ella, además de guapa, elegante y con clase, es encantadora.
I agree with Julia, the best performance ever. Von Stade is an angel, both in looks and voice. What a genius Rossini was, and how lightly he wore it.
I’ve always
Loved her voice and precise musicality
She is also a real person without the histrionics of some prima donnas
god I love fredericas voice sounds effortless and has a lovely timbre and she looks lovely when she sings not all contorted and strange facial expressions like bartoli and erraught
so elegant and sweet no one compares
Well you can say that, which I agree entirely concerning Great Frederica von Stade, without having to create intrigue and hate to another great great artist. Each have their own crucial role.
Music is after all not about looking at pretty faces. Although it may be sometimes, when possible, a nice recent add to it.
Don't care ,I still don't like cecilia bartoli
missluisagemma It is so easy to be rude under the anonimity of the internet, this is pity.
Sorry, I see no rudeness here, merely a difference of opinion between fans of von Stade and Bartoli. We all have our favorites.
I agree they are both great artists, but I think you are overreacting to criticism of Bartoli. Saying someone makes faces (expressing emotion) is not at all equivalent to 'hate' directed toward that person. I think we need to be kinder and gentler to one another on the internet. Please kiss and make up.
A brilliant performance by a brilliant woman. She is my favorite Cenerentola!!
Absolutely beautiful, voice, stage, mis-en-scene...!!!! LOVE IT...!!!!!
To date, Flicka is the only Cenerentola that can make me cry. Love her.
The ultimate and unsurpassed performance directed by Jean-Pierre Ponnelle. Even more than 30 years later fascinating and fresh. The beautiful, radiant and charming Frederica von Stade as Cenerentola on the peak of her career. Her smooth mezzo sounds wonderful. Francisco Araiza is equally excellent; he is one of the best Rossini-tenors ever.
Simply great and perfect singing, acting and music. Pure Perfection.
"The Triumph of Goodness" was part of the title, and no-one better exemplified that than von Stade- goodness radiates out of every tone.
Bel-Ami Margoles ::
You're right ! This opera is about Goodness and von Stade is really sweet & forgiving. I was never a fan of her voice but here she is lyrically beautiful.
If it were me, I would have had the sisters beheaded as soon as my Coronation was over ! 😆
Frederica looks and sounds beautiful! What a lovely surprise to stumble upon!
I remember watching this for the first time and tearing up; bringing forward genuine emotion in a Rossinian opera is a great feat for contemporary productions which both Frederica and Ponnelle deserve the utmost respect for achieving with this version.
That's why I prefer dramatic Sopranos or Mezzo-sopranos because of the richness of the voice they have that most Sopranos don't have 😍😍😍
Nathalia Torres I love all voice types my friend 🌏🌍🌎🎹🎻🎼 Arnold Bourbon Amaral
sopranos of today maybe, once upon a time sopranos have richness and depth of sound
What! Perfection again! Well, what else could expect? It's Frederica. Kudos as always. Thanx.
Goodness that lady had class, not to mention a beautiful voice and formidable technique.
She still has. As a human being as well as a singer.
¡¡¡La Adorable Flica; Exquisita Cantante y Actriz. Siempre Maravillosa!!! Aqui en
una de sus exelentes interpretaciones. Siempre es un placer volverla apreciar
y escuchar lo gran cantante, que es, y lo artista, finisima que es. Gran Deleite.
No sé si has tenido el honor de verla en vivo, yo la vi en el festival de música de Granada y te aseguro que enamora, su timbre bonito como ningún otro, su clase, elegancia, belleza y no digamos lo simpática y encantadora que es como persona ¡Jamás olvidaré ese concierto!
Великолепное исполнение! Браво!!! Каждая нота в колоратурное спета филигранно! Как-будто проиграна пальцами по клавишам! Это высший пилотаж! Браво, браво, браво!!!
absolutely stunning. Theres no comparison to her in my book!
Impeccable, un enchantement de la fable surquel les petites filles ont-elles faite des rêves.
Flicka, so beautiful then and now...
Thanks, beloved Flicka, for so many hours
of happiness!
Achingly beautiful. Brings tears to my eyes.
Had the joy of hearing her in concert (along with this aria) in San Diego of all places in 1989
Joyful and beautiful. What a gem.
I always loved Frederica Von Stade's voice in all the many years I have been an avid opera lover. I also enjoyed the many roles that she sang especially Mozart's Le Nozze Di Figaro and La Ceneretrola. She has a special warmth to the role that she sung over the many years.
Her face and voice is so pretty...
J'adore, je regarde souvent "La Cenerentola" dans cette interprétation, grâce à You Tube. Magnifique!!!! La "diva" de nos jours qui chante ce rôle, malgré mon admiration pour elle, ne me plaît pas autant!
Lovely! She has a vulnerability and sweetness in her voice that is captivating. Bartoli is wonderful in a different way. Less fragile and more ebullient. I like her tough spirit.
just one word: great!!
Indeed, she is excellent in this role. Sweet, gentle, demure.
I LOVE mezzo-sopranos the best, and Rossini's La Cenerentola is my most favorite opera. I was lucky enough to meet Frederica von Stade in person after a recital she gave in Hampton, VA in May, 2003. She was so gracious and friendly. I had just seen her do The Merry Widow at the Met with Placido Domingo a few months before. (I gave her a framed snap shot of the Merry Widow curtain call I'd taken.) I'll always remember meeting her.
there's no word good enough to describe this.... Speechless...
She sings great and that´s a Coloratura Mezzo indeed doing great a Coloratura Contralto role!
This is one of the very best performance of Flicka available on video....outstanding!!
WOW! 🤩 È bellissima e ha una voce di un angelo!! È perfetta! 💖
Love this film of Cenerentola - and love von Stade. She is absolutely stupenda. Only one who's better here? Lucia Valentini-Terrani (God rest her beautiful soul!). Too bad there's only a really crappy video of Lucia doing this at youtube.
A masterful interpretation. Thank you maestra Von Stade
She is the best Cinderela, this rich tone kills me...
wonderful chesty, i adore Agnes Baltsa too
Her top needs work, sadly but it’s better than Fedora Barbieri, whose top was much worse.
what a lovely and poetic way of performing this piece...she does it with an admirable lightness, such a deep sensibility...
Era... y es, amigo de Honduras, aunque ahora tenga 63 años y arrugas en el cuerpo. La belleza de Frederica ha estado siempre no sólo en su figura, en su rostro y en su sonrisa, que como Ud. dice, eran maravillosos, sino en su voz y, sobre todo y muy por encima, en su persona, y esta belleza sigue estando intacta.
Just wonderful, what a voice!!
Wonderful Flicka in a lovely dress for a change. Subtitles always appreciated.
I LOVE this aria/ending. It is so beautiful. I think Frederica does a great job and really embodies Cenerentola. I think Francisco Araiza is a brilliant prince also :). I literally have watched this version of the aria 20+ times.
Incredible. Not only is this wonderful, but she is wonderfully versatile -- Strauss to spirituals. Thanks for sharing.
What a beautiful range!
Fantastic production - I haven't watched any Opera production more often than this one - it's simply sublime in every way.
Federica con stade es maravillosa y lo mejor que he conocido un abrazo y la producción más hermosa
My favorite soprano of all time.
She is mezzo
I never have seen such a decent beauty in my life, may be nor in human history ever so far. A perfection itself. Venus freezes with silence.
The 80's was such nice period of time for these opera films. I can still remember play the LD with the cassette of subtitles :)
from the Ponnelle production which is probably the greatest production of this opera. Wonderful singing and acting from von Stade
Perfecta. Adorable.
That chest voice! 🤩🥰🏆🙌🏼🎶
You couldn't express it better...she is unbelievable, so endearing. What an exceptionnal person!! :D
@Poet2916 It is a piece that can be sung by both mezzo-sopranos and contraltos who are able to sing coloratura.
Gorgeously sung, beautifully acted, and sumptuous to see. Going to look for the full production next. Reminded me of the Washington Opera production I did years ago as a part of the mens chorus.
Flicka is a lyric mezzo and will be officially retiring this year. I was so lucky to have been present at her-accidental- Met debut and to have heard her in recital last year. She is a gracious and lovely off stage as on.
Sent some of my poems to her through her manager.. Never heard back from her but, I can imagine her incoming mail must be huge.
Frederica is my favorite soprano along with first prima Lucia Popp.
невозможно хороша!)) да еще и поет как ангел) настоящая принцесса)) И музыка , настоящая радость для души и ушей ) голос потрясающий , тембр ласкает слух
kudos to Ponnelle and the producers for making those great productions possible.
This Cenerentola, Ponnelle/Abbados Barbiere version with Berganza, Alva and Prey and the Ponnelle/Böhm Nozze with Prey, Fischer-Dieskau, Te Kanawa and Ewing are the Gold Standard for the respective operas.
perfect performance !!! perfect actors !!! perfect acting !!! perfect costumes !!! perfect !!!!
She is so beautiful.
I am extremely in love with her voice, what a beautiful timbre and such a fantastic technique!!
Daniliz81 Her top was not good, though. She needs more work to improve it.
Emily Greene not true.
@@terrycloth6380 Yes, its true. Listen better.
Emily Greene Gee, thanks for knowing better than me.
I guess my having a very successful international career in opera doesn’t qualify me to know what I’m stating. And I guess having sang with Flicka also does not qualify me to have an opinion based on my first hand experiences. You obviously are much better informed being a successful professional singer yourself.
@@terrycloth6380 Done being immature? Try listening closely next time.
Fantastic tone, gorgeous and resonant lower notes.
*HAPPY BIRTHDAY Frederica von Stade!!*
I remember watching this production on tv. Thank you for posting this!
wonderful! what a lovely voice it was at that time.
Ahhh, A Mezzo. Wonderful. Wonderful.
Wonderfull , She's great!!
How lovely she was, then and now!
Exquisite perfecton in every facet and from every angle. Von Stade is the only Cenerentola I've heard who rivals the incredible beauty achieved by the great Teresa Berganza in this role.
Lovely, just lovely - great great production, great Federica
una meraviglia!
This gave me goosebumps. Wonderful and effortless.
Certifié intergalactique! Frederica von Stade est le meilleur Cenerentola jamais!
Just beautiful - in every way! Thank you - beautiful :)
¡Magnifico!
Beautiful voice!😍
Absolutely beautiful!!!..... Don't think she made an ugly sound in her whole career......very fine artist indeed!...
... on or off stage!
Absolutely beautiful thankyou! Always elegant and stylish!
perfect voice!
Thank you for your background of Flicka. IIt completes the legacy her father left the world. A Perfect gift..
Breathtaking!
Watching this video after Met's stream of this opera (last night with lovely Garanca). How different - What an amazing instrument and masterful use of it! Thank you!
How beautiful she was!!!!!!!!!!!
Chills and bliss!!!
I had no idea that she was so GORGEOUS!!! :)
Love her voice. Her Song to the Moon is gorgeous. She is one of the all-time greats.
agree wholeheartedly
I enjoyed von Stade very much as Cenerentola: charming and good looking!
So GREAT to see Flicka videos on CZcams - she is unique among mezzos!
At 4.02 the magic starts. I have a DVD with Callas singing this in concert & she makes it look so easy 1960 Paris. Our MAYA 💙😢 Arnold Bourbon Amaral
