i know what you mean. i hate that. i am a contralto myself and people think a woman must sound like a guy to even be considered a 'true' contralto. this erasure must stop
the precise term for her musical pitch is counter-tenor. Alto is super high (usually only really fat women can sing those arias/musical songs). Tenor is between soprano and
Cara sposa, amante cara, dove sei? Deh! Ritorna a' pianti miei Cara sposa, amante cara, dove sei? Ritorna, ritorna a' pianti miei Cara sposa, Deh! Ritorna Deh! Ritorna a' pianti miei Cara sposa, sposa cara, dove sei? Deh! Ritorna, dove sei? Deh! Ritorna, a' pianti miei Ritorna, a' pianti miei Deh! Ritorna, a' pianti miei Del vostro Erebo sull'ara Colla face del mio sdegno Io vi sfido o spirti rei!
Fabulous singing. Very emotive. I just learned of this fabulous contralto and wish that I'd discovered her sooner. What does that St. Andrew patch on her jacket mean? I love when the tempo changes suddenly within the same aria. Handel was a genius and Baroque is my favorite genre of opera but I also love Mozart.
Contraltos have longer vocal folds than the average woman. It's a little known fact they are essentially high tenors. They are unique in that they can vocalize like men, because they are built to sing most of their range in their chest voice, lending them a darker, heavier, rich, EARTHY sound that simply lasts. it's a voice that stays closer to the ground than most ladies do, if you will. Contraltos sound ethereal in their pure high register (falsetto). Very haunting, melancholic. Try looking up singer Lyves. I am a Contralto myself. My sister told me not to sing too high, it's just too sad. That is the Contralto voice.
@@joycitasmith yes! It's fun to be able to sing contemporary male songs without changing the key. Unlike higher voices our chest voices really carry below the fourth octave, the low chest notes are clear and resonant
Amazing. She really honed into her masculine energy! Brava, Sonia!
She is the BEST.
OMG. Is... Is this finally a contralto who sounds like me without people being all grumbly and saying "not a *real* contralto"?

Magnífica bollo.
She sounds almost like a tenor. But this is a castrato aria........I wish for something more ethereal.
