Hei Kyung Hong and Sumi Jo have two very different voice types. Ms. Hong is a lyric-coloratura, with more weight to her voice. I saw her in Central Park as Violetta 2 summers ago. She was wonderful. Sumi Jo is purely a coloratura, and in her own way, is as wonderful a singer as Hong. Apples and oranges.
@꽁이 and yet, as I said she is a lyric coloratura, in much the same way that Moffo was. Both are essentially lyric voices capable of singing some of the coloratura rep. Moffo sand Gilda, Lucia, etc. And Hong recorded a stupendous I Capuleti e I Montecchi, co-starring Jennifer Larmore. Hong, at the Met, sang Gilda and Adina.
Robert-I agree with you completely. I have a long list of Korean sopranos and they really are of a very high standard. Sumi has to be my favourite as I received a kiss on both cheeks when I met her. I am an Aussie!
@montsyblackmadonna in this video, she was already near to her 50s...very mature, rich voice..but not that sweet as she used to be..so sad,, that's humanbeing.. but i think as for this piece...her version is better. because this role itself is supposed to be sung by mature woman..
Hi - I also prefer Sumi - just a bit - mainly because the version I have, she sings in English. I seem to have a fetish for beautiful Korean sopranos - of whom there are, thankfully a surprisingly large number - & they're all first rate!!
a mi esta cantante me gusta.....pero decir que es el mejor vilja que ha escuchado ya me parece raro........cuando esta aria solo le ha puesto el punto adecuado JOAN SUTHERLAND......y nadie ha podido cantar esto asi ni de milagro.......pongales los tonos que le pongan y la fuerza que quieran ponerle........perdonadme ....pero es mi opinion..........aparte de que tambien opino que esta es una muy buena cantante......feliz año nuevo a todos........
아흐.. 20년 가까이 몇십 몇백번을 들어도 너무 완벽한 선생님의 노래.. 존경합니다.

Uhm I kinda disagree. Hei Kyung Hong is a light lyric soprano while Sumi Jo is a lyric coloratura soprano. But still apples and oranges.
