With Madame Norman , every word is clearly enunciated regardless of the language she sings in. Just watching her sing is a masterclass for every opera singer in training.
Here, I thought Ms Jerssye Norman would not be able to sing this song. In fact, I had never heard a daramatic soprano sing "Dove Sono" before now. It is awe-inspiring...YES...YES...YES! When I say to folks that Ms. J. NORMAN is ONE OF THE WONDERS OF THE WORLD, I say so without one ounce flattery. Indeed, IT IS THE TRUTH! Incroyable. ..incredible...increible...incredibile!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Yes!
When the divine Jessye Norman meets the divine Mozart! This voice is beyond emotions. Such a performance make us better only listening the music. It's the art in its perfect way.
Breathtaking, wonderful, unique, the best singer in our time - this all is Jessye Norman for me. I enjoyed her in her concert-evenings in Switzerland some times, I know almost every tone of her great voice, but its always again like magic. To give her some stars is not enough, for her I give the whole universe.
@@DieFlabbergast "Showy" wasn't the best word. More "Pop" or easy listening - the way I would expect Sarah Brightman to sing it. Quite different to Kiri's or Elizabeth Schwarzkopf's version. I don't dislike Norman's version but prefer it sung the way Kiri sings it.
@@paora7122 How about "correct"? As in "the way Mozart intended it to be." Ms. Norman was the consummate professional, as descriptions of her singing by innumerable leading conductors attest: the idea that she would "popularise" a Mozart aria is simply inconceivable. I can only suppose that you have some sort of personal agenda.
She is a phenomenon and as a dramatic soprano with one of the most powerful voices in the world and yet, whith her usual stamina, she proves everybody wrong...Like Bartoli she cares little for tradition and can sing most anything...
Mozart needs a combination of extraordinary skills of the voice and an amazing intelligence to understand his music. Jessye Norman had both. Stunning performance.
I didn't even know how blessed I was when my opera teacher classified my voice and said "It's Jessye Norman type of voice". After listening to her work I was so grateful to God for blessing me with such uniqueness and versatility.
A "true" Diva in every sense of the word. Style, Wisdom, Grace, Beauty, Class, Talent, Poise. And still a very down-to-earth woman with a heart of gold! Yes, she is a Big Woman. I have seen her walk on stage, and it's like the Titanic! She has a commanding presence. You just know you are in the company of greatness. And her speaking voice.. still music, my god, the woman could read a phone book and make it sound like Shakespeare! I am 45, and have loved Mozart all my life, she nails this!
Bravissima,che bella mezzosoprano,Ich liebe Mozart e nella tua voce questa aria è piena di emozione. Adesso Io sto piagendo moltissimo,tu Dame Meravigliosa e Spledita Stella stare cantando con mein groβer meister W.Amadeus Mozart.Liebe,Jessye Norman❤

@tensae7 I so agree. I didn't realize it until reading your comment, but I think that's why I always feel so mesmerized watching Jessye Norman sing--it's not just her voice, but also her inner spirit, her whole manner. Just overwhelming beautiful.
The voice is glorious beyond measure, but what impressed me was how every nuance of sound supported the emotional sense of the aria. The same musical expression of intellectual understanding that characterises the very greatest performers, notably, of course, Maria Callas.
Search around for some of the videos actually recorded live. This does sound great, but, she overdubbed the entire video -- the vocals are not what she was doing while they were filming. Doesn't diminish her talent, but, for classical singing fans, I think something not dubbed is more interesting.
Sublime. (La parola ha il medesimo significato in italiano e inglese, e va bene per Mozart, e per la Signora Norman... The word has the same meaning in Italian and English, and is good for Mozart, and for Madame Norman..)
i understand it's the way most opera singers are trained but Jessye has spoiled me when hearing Opera singers gasping for breathe as they sing. Listen to Jessye sing an aria and then listen to someone else sing it. If she gasps for breathe it ma be only one time if that. I think that is what I will miss the most. Listening to a beautiful aria without the distracting gasping
"Jesus said to her: I am the resurrection and the life. The one who exercises Faith in me, even though he dies, will come to life; and everyone that is living and exercises Faith in me will never dies at all. Do you believe this?" (John 11: 25, 26) Rest in Peace Jessye.

Watching Madame Norman sing is a Masterclass in itself. Her elucidation and her diction is without comparison.

Unbelievable artistry. Thank you Jessye for all the wonderful years of filling my soul with the magic of music. You made my life richer indeed.
No matter how many times I listen to Jessye sing this, my sentiment turns from 'like' to 'LOVE'.
Jessye! A voice & human being so beautiful! Stunned the moment I heard her live!...and she lives on...
She is absolutely gorgeous in every way, as is this rendition!

This is perfection. I just love Jessye Norman's singing quality. Divine, sublime and heavenly. A joy to listen to over and over and over again.

I used to listen to Kiri Te Kanawa's version and only discovered this. Jessye Norman's is in a different league. Sublime, superb. Truly divine.
Certainly a lot more showy. Better? That's debatable.
@@paora7122 Define "showy." Then, maybe there will be a debate.

Inside my heart...have no words
superbe!

I've just heard Carol Vaness singing this. Beautiful sound, but without the emotion which Jessye brings to it. Mirella Freni was wonderful too....
tranquility and triumph.
norman is the best! saw her saturday in frankfurt :-)
Heavenly!!
MAJESTUOSA....
So beautiful ❤
beautiful!
Beaultiful
She was art and her voical sound was all quality at its best.
UAU parece um anjo de tamanha beleza estou encantado!!!

You can find a live version (and even better one) on youtube. Really, amazing.

I am so sorry I never got to hear her sing live
Beautiful with so charming…….
Such a wonderful performance....One wonders if she ever performed the role on stage

Does anyone know when she recorded this / what year is this recording from?
Almost religious, a mystical voice.
Bravaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
