One of the most beautiful readings of Pace pace ever ! Perhaps the most definitive single performance of Pace Pace from Angela's generation of performers.
Mai, mai, mai stonata, siete sordi quelli que parlano di "stonata"... E una meravillosa artista con una tecnica solida e sicura, con una sensibilitá grande é molto sicura di se stessa e questo ¨e il piú importante per sostenere una carriera come la sua. Ha rispetto per la musica, per il publico, per se stessa. E veramente speciale, grande artista,
Perfect voice, perfect tuning and technique, beautiful voice's colour and expressiveness ... resuming, the best female opera singer nowadays ... Thank you very much Mrs. Gheorghiu for giving us your beautiful art.
Claude Michaud , that is one of the errors of modern thinking . it is beautiful voices and beautifully expressive singers we want to hear in an opera house . Until the 20th century it seems that singer didn't have such huge voices , theatres were not so big . I meet young singers who are told they must sing big to perform Verdi . At a recital one girl pushed her voice till it had no central focus . I have 2 DVDs of Adriana Lecouvreur , from La Scala big , from RAI small , equally beautiful .
Superbe interprétation, belle technique et il se passe quelque chose dans cet air !... émotions et couleurs ! sons poitrinés ( mais pas vulgaires ) une urgence qui donne le rythme à l'orchestre et des pianissimi dans le souffle très long... avec une maledizione enchaîné très rare en live
le mie orecchie stanno benissimo caro amico mio! la Gheorghiu è una donna intelligente,bella e sensibile... sono troppo vecchio per apprezzare la sua arte. dal vivo tra i soprani rumeni preferisco La Zeani. buona notte amico.
the volume is the most important of all.. it is as if the singer is crippled.. that is why she tried so hard to introduce microphones inside opera houses.. thank Ohm she didnt succeed :)
I always find it bit of an anti-climax when the final few bars of the orchestral bits are cut just b4 the final B-flat, like what Sinopoli did here at 5:11.
Nun ja, ich bevorzuge gerade für diese Arie "richtige Stimmen"! Rosa Ponselle, Zinka Milanov, Maria Callas, Renata Tebaldi, Eleanor Steber, Eileen Farrell, Leyla Gencer, Birgit Nilsson, Ghena Dimitrova usw.............! Die Stimmen der letzten 25 Jahre fallen da komplett dafür aus! Und natürlich Ponselle auf dem Thron!
Der Fremde she still is! Saw her in Tosca two weeks ago, she was outstanding, divine voice and stage presence. Even the stuck-up british audience couldn't contain their excitement.
Der Fremde Well, it would be amazing if artists would not age like us, mortals, do :)) but scary? really? You find this scary? th-cam.com/video/A1LupIKna9w/w-d-xo.html ? To me, she sounds better than sopranos in their 30s..
I'm referring to the torture scene and the io quella lama in act III, they are all visceral high Cs and when Angela sings them now, it sounds like the voice is going to crack, umm yeah, that's what I mean, it's scary. Also here, the b flat is held so well with the music, it's amazing, in your video she cannot keep the signor going along with the orchestra.
Der Fremde I actually think she is in perfect coordination with the orchestra when she sings the 'signor'. You should loosen up and try to enjoy a performance more, go see one live, rather than criticizing every note. Nobody sounds perfect all the time..For me, real music and true art is more about the emotion an artist can convey and not about the perfect notes.
First Leontyne Price, now Angela Gheorghiu, the two best interpreters of this colossal aria. Brava!
One of the most beautiful readings of Pace pace ever !
Perhaps the most definitive single performance of Pace Pace from Angela's generation of performers.
That descendo at 3:54 is pure perfection right there. from whistle register. Oh Lord. What a pro. Unique. Brava.
I adore Gheorghiu. I've seen her live many times. The voice is not large, but the way she sings is spectacular.
Beautiful voice!

Bella, con una gran voz, tecnica, gusto para cantar..que mas.
Angela is such a treasure. A gift to humanity.
Bella interpretación.
at 5:11 I love the way she can't come off of the vocal-high...she was not acting...she was living the song....AMAZING
sublime
BRAVA.
Perfect voice, perfect tuning and technique, beautiful voice's colour and expressiveness ... resuming, the best female opera singer nowadays ... Thank you very much Mrs. Gheorghiu for giving us your beautiful art.
Beautiful - the voice, the woman.
Amazing!
I love Sinopoli.
Wonderful.

Shes really GOOD.. 👏👏👏

¡Qué mujer más hermosa, fina y elegante!.
Best
She really sings this masterfully. An overzealous conductor would completely drown her out, though. Still, this is fabulous.
le mie orecchie stanno benissimo caro amico mio!
la Gheorghiu è una donna intelligente,bella e sensibile...
sono troppo vecchio per apprezzare la sua arte.
dal vivo tra i soprani rumeni preferisco La Zeani.
buona notte amico.
She has the greatest voice of all! She can sing anything and make people feel the emotions - just like Maria Callas!
Grazie Angela Gheorghiu
AMAZING !
è vero.
Finally, someone has a good technique! Unlike the rest of the modern singers only try to produce a “big ugly sound”. Brava!
the volume is the most important of all.. it is as if the singer is crippled.. that is why she tried so hard to introduce microphones inside opera houses.. thank Ohm she didnt succeed :)
Leontyne Price the best for this Opera!
I always find it bit of an anti-climax when the final few bars of the orchestral bits are cut just b4 the final B-flat, like what Sinopoli did here at 5:11.
I love her !
I completely agree with you!
I bet no one could hear her without the mic.
🖐 the most soprano in this opera is Dame Renata Tebaldi ❤️
Caro Bodiloto,ai problemi con le orecchi? Forse,Gheorghiu non ha la voce adatta per questo repertorio ,ma e una belissima voce.
Nun ja, ich bevorzuge gerade für diese Arie "richtige Stimmen"! Rosa Ponselle, Zinka Milanov, Maria Callas, Renata Tebaldi, Eleanor Steber, Eileen Farrell, Leyla Gencer, Birgit Nilsson, Ghena Dimitrova usw.............! Die Stimmen der letzten 25 Jahre fallen da komplett dafür aus! Und natürlich Ponselle auf dem Thron!
Hahah divertente aneddoto!
Purtroppo adesso senza il microfono non si va avanti...
@Heldenexpresso Tell them how it is! I totally agree! Miss Freni is the BEST and ONLY Mimi that there is or ever was! :-)
Nope. This is NOT for her. She is a leggero soprano, this is for a true spinto/dramatic soprano.
Back when she was amazing.
Der Fremde she still is! Saw her in Tosca two weeks ago, she was outstanding, divine voice and stage presence. Even the stuck-up british audience couldn't contain their excitement.
Music Lover I heard the recent Toscas... her singing the high C... it's like her standing on an unstable ladder... it's scary
Der Fremde Well, it would be amazing if artists would not age like us, mortals, do :)) but scary? really? You find this scary? th-cam.com/video/A1LupIKna9w/w-d-xo.html ? To me, she sounds better than sopranos in their 30s..

good performance, Brava! ,despite the less than 10 seconds prescriptive of the first note of the aria
its a beautiful reading indeed but her voice is too small for this. Its missing the depth/density that larger voices have.
Tutti sanno cantare col microfono...
no, correction....Mirella Freni is the BEST MIMI ever, there's no comparison im sorry!
Quintin Coleman Anna Moffo is there too
LOLs she loves throwing her hand up haha
Ella es genial, solo los graves se le puede criticar, el final es genial.. la banda no me gustó
je n'aime pas j'adore,merci Madame
Nice, but Caballé wont be superated in this aria
Voice is to small for this aria - you need a large voice like Tebaldi-Callas-Cerquetti.
beautiful way of singing this, but no interpretation at all
she doesn't seem focused. i don't believe her here at all.
She could never sing this opera in the opera house, voice is too small.
Go to Tebaldi for this aria, she is not that great.
che stonata...
clichéd embarrassing aria
Best
