- From a wonderful "Le Nozze di Figaro" conducted by Georg Solti at Paris Opera Garnier in 1980.
The very famous stage production by Giorgio Strelher.
Fabulous cast : Jose Van Dam (Figaro), Lucia Popp (Susanna), Gundula Janowitz (Contessa Almaviva), Gabriel Bacquier (Almaviva), Federica Von Stade (Cherubino), Jane Berbié (Marcellina).
Frederica is ideal vocally physically... and Lucia Popp is just the most delicious Susanna to me... - Hudba
I saw her do this in Paris in 1980. She was the darling of Paris. Was there ever a silkier, more sensitive and nuanced rendition of this aria? I think not. She was THE Cherubino of her generation, and stills wears that crown, imo.
she is the cutest, most perfect cherubino... this is also my sort of signature aria and i love the repressed energy she shows... it's as if she's about to burst! plus i just love her voice. flicka i want to be you!
The perfect Cherubino.
I think we have to wait a long time to find someone to top Von Stade in this role.
There are a lot of things i like about her voice and way of playing this role, but most of all i love the way she puts just the right emotions in her voice and how she is simply bursting with repressed energy and emotion and the exact right places of the song, thus portraying the emotions of a teenager full of hormones with just her voice.
She's the sweetest cherubino of all! So full of feeling. Wonderful voice and superb pianissimo
"Parlo d'amor con me... PARLO D'AMOR CON ME!" Endlessly charming! Superb.
The first opening words sent me chills down my body... I never knew that such a heavenly way of opening this aria existed.... Non so piu casa son cosa faccio= FTW!
nobody's better at Cherubino thank Flicka!! SHE OWN'S THE ROLE!!!
ho ascoltato la von Stade più volte alla Scala in questo ruolo. IMPRESSIONANTE! Praticamente perfetta come Cherubino. Esattamente come la Dupuy in Romeo e Kraus in Werther! La totale identificazione fra un cantante e un ruolo.
Her facial expressions are the best!!
The most perfect Cherubino! I love Flicka!
It just does not get better than this. Wow.
Nuanced, gorgeous, beautiful -- DIVINE!
Fabulous,adorable...what words could describe Flicka? She's my idol and hero forever! I can't get enough of her!!!
what an amazing pianissimo!!!
she's AWESOME!!!
thx so much for sharing this!
Send me chills! I love how she sings "di colore."
Omalmi: Nuanced is the perfect word for this.
I love her.She's the perfect Cherubino.
Outstanding!
mi sembra fra le migliori nonostante la qualità dell'audio; lei è intelligente precisa e adatta al ruolo... e le si legge in faccia la gioia mozartiana di cherubino :)
what can I add to that? what great acting! SHe even moves like a boy.
WOW. This is the best Flicka I've seen. I saw her in Fort Worth last year, and she is still amazing. Talk about effortless singing in this video! From 2:00-end I am in awe. Her give and take with the line is flawless! BRAVA!
Frederica - fantastic!
To say what? WONDERFUL!
Wonderful.
La adoro!!
Stupendous!
I am with you too. I prefer, for example, the historic rendition at Glyndebourne, 1973. Cherubino is a boy of no more 16 or 17 yo, and his attitude must be more nervous, most restless... However, how splendid Flicka is here... here and ever!
(Please: excuse my english!)
How can people say that opera is screaming????
Watch Flicka performance at Glyndebourne Festival Opera 1973 ... even better!
I definitely agree Flicka is exceptional here, really. More youthful and more beautifully performed than all her other clips on CZcams for sure, I think. But how about Berganza? The beauty of her tone, especially as Cherubino, is unrivalled I find.
She is a really beautiful woman as well as having a beautiful voice,
incantevole !
Magnífica la voz, como no podía ser menos tratándose de Frederica, pero me gusta más la versión de 1973 en el festival de Glyndebourne, con John Pritchard, que era más rápida, más vital ¡Aquello sí fue una genial representación, la creación de un personaje nunca superado! ¡Viva Frederica, entonces y ahora!
i could sing this befor my 16 years
@rmfotj Non so pi cosa son cosa faccio.But I totally agree with you,its beautiful
@Alexandrinio1995 No!!! It's a trouser role, written for a mezzo, specifically to underline the fact that Cherubino is not yet a fully-grown man.
Sorry. That wasn't me who said that "Flicka's my idol and hero forever" quote. My sister posted that while using my name.
You search, you search... and you don't find, of course, because there is no one best than Flicka
@youhavegottabejoking Funny. ....Most folk think it revolves around Suzanna. But you're right , Flicka is the ONLY Cherubino in the entire universe
it sounds so good! But right now I have to learn that aria, and I'm telling you, it's not easy... I've been having classical singing lessons for one year now and this aria is the most difficult one I've ever had to learn.. "L'ho perduta me meschina" was way easier...^^
Von Stade is exquisite. I like "Voi, che sapete" better, though -- can you post that?
Simplemente no hay nadie mejor que Flicka como Cherubino: voz clara, joven, ágil. Insisto en que esta versión de Solti está demasiado lenta a mi parecer.
Non so più cosa son, cosa faccio...
Von Stade is my favorite Cherubino I've seen (other than my sister, who played the role in college). I tend to prefer sopranos in this role to mezzo-sopranos for the bright and pure quality that they have. So many mezzos take this role and make it dark and heavy.
Yahhhh my sister knows this woman
Flicka is the best Cherubino ever. Her performance in the 1986 Met tv broadcast is even better than this one, more active and compulsive, and sadder somehow; just more nuanced. I wish someone would post that.
Please listen to Edith Mathis too! Frederica is as usual wonderful.
but Von Stade is a lyrics mezzo.
sometimes mezzo's souns like sopranos.. but I know that they also can fill out a soprano role, like a soprano can fill out a mezzo role...
nevermind, she has a bright likeable mezzo voice, but i don't like her vibrato..it's to fast!
yes she is amazing but still to be perfect in character of Cherubinon one has to be male!
