@@swell_gal I listened to both and as much as I love the always exciting Bartoli and perfectly clear Janečkova,this one has my biggest vote :) I love it so much!
One of the sterling operatic artists of the 70s, 80s and 90s. A riveting voice and dramatic presence. Even in her 60s singing Klytemnestra in ELEKTRA in Florence, she was commanding and still in possession of that plangent mezzo with that resinous sound. there was virtually nothing she tackled that didn't work for her. Oddly enough, her Carmen at the Met and Octavian, didn't really connect. Thirty years later, the voice sounded bigger and in very good health. Brava.
Voi che sapete che cosa è amor, donne, vedete s'io l'ho nel cor. Quello ch'io provo vi ridirò, è per me nuovo, capir nol so. Sento un affetto pien di desir, ch'ora è diletto, ch'ora è martir. Gelo e poi sento l'alma avvampar, e in un momento torno a gelar. Ricerco un bene fuori di me, non so chi'l tiene, non so cos'è. Sospiro e gemo senza voler, palpito e tremo senza saper. Non trovo pace notte né dì, ma pur mi piace languir così. Voi che sapete che cosa è amor, donne, vedete s'io l'ho nel cor.
I think that after singing this piece of music with such stage presence and operatic technique, thus recognized by the public, by musicians and by their fellow behind the scenes and, taking into account that the applause for an artist is everything, one welcome all ... even death. You enjoy it.
Heard so many soprano's sing this over the years and my favourite still is Rinat Shaham.. For me, she combined both the conviction of a youth and her voice of course is pure glory. Agnes Balsta is in the upper range of mezzo and for me, too much vibrato but her control is absolutely fabulous.
Followed your "advise" and listened to Rinat Shaham, I didnt know her . I am puzzled though that you think Baltsa had too much vibrato, so I expected none or hardly vibrato with Shaham, but it is exactly the same! So I don't see your point . Rinat is quite nice, thanks for bringing her to my attention. I enjoy all singers and glad they are all different. A big variety of flowers in the field!
@@truesoundchris You're right. And an excellent analysis. I searched for the video to check out all the hullaballoo and if anything Rinat had a more problematic vibrato. It's slightly slower yes but wider... meaning she's straying off the actual note.
@@koosriedijk3872 You may also try Bidu Sayão for "Voi che sapete" if you didn't yet; she's not a mezo, but a great diva, her voice is very well suited for Mozart operas (my opinion). Frederica von Stade was a successful Cherubino too. If I would have to choose my favorite Cherubino of all times it would be that one created by Lucia Popp.
WOW...I think this was the warmest and most honest essay I've ever heard of this aria. It's simply...simple! No exaggerations, just what's on the page, effectively and expressively sung. I'm thoroughly impressed with the fluidity of her sound. Awesome lesson in breathing. The sound just pours out effortlessly. Good stuff!!! Thanks for posting!!!

I am 50 years old heterosexual male. I have a 50 kg boxing bag, which I hit passionately from time to time. I play computer games full of sex and violence. Yet, this powerful and emotional performance of one of the most beautiful musical pieces ever written, made me listen to it several times in a row and cry like an actress.
Ludovico Lorello in your opinion. I understood every last word. What’s the sense,? Like what’s the sense in your stupid asinine comment. A beautiful singer who gave of herself, and was 100% gutsy with no fear.
It would be wonderful when this incredible perfomance with Janowitz, Baltsa and the unforgetable Lucia Popp would be published on DVD or being available for download complete!

@@marinellabakken7491 I will add that of the living sopranos, the French coloratura Sabine Devieihe is exquisite - and the gorgeous exotic Egyptian diva Fatma Said also has some wonderful recordings. Lesley Garret's Lascia ch'io pianga is also exceptionally gorgeous.
I think Mozart must have hated mezzos putting that change in rhythm at “palpito e tremo” and making “cosi” a half note instead of a dotted quarter. So annoying to sing. She’s great!
She was a wonderful singer. Beautiful voice. One of the world's great mezzos with a rock solid technique. Beautiful, beautiful.
Although Agnes is still alive though she's retaired as a singer
Listening again...crystal clear voice with perfect resonance..
What beautiful singing. The one and only Baltza. Wonderful technique, breath control and phrasing. Beautiful tone. Brava Agnes.
女の私が惚れ惚れしちゃうこれぞケルビーノ!! このフィガロの舞台はキャストも演出も最高〜でした。
This is one of the best versions of voi che sapete i have ever heard. Agnes baltsa is a legend. so harmonious... I LOVE AGNES BALTSA!!!!!!!!
Try also Cecilia Bartoli and
Patricia Janečková. You might like them.
@@swell_gal I listened to both and as much as I love the always exciting Bartoli and perfectly clear Janečkova,this one has my biggest vote :)
I love it so much!
最高の「ケルビーノ」でしたね！
私の中では、この日のバルッアさんが最高です。
Any one of these special ladies is worth the ticket. To see all three on the same stage is a bargain whatever the price. Brava Agnes!
バルツァのケルビーノは、ちゃんと男の子っぽくて好き。

İ feel very happy whenever İ hear her voice. Baltsa is fabulous...

To me, her voice says a lot.

Check out Angelika Kirchschlager as well :) You might be in for a treat!

I think that the best version of "Voi Che sapete" is that singed by Cecilia Bartoli (sorry for my bad English)

Habrá mejores días incluso para nosotros
バルツァはこんな役もするんですね カルメンのハバネラを見て 色っぽい役専門だと思っていました ケルビーノはメゾソプラノが演じる ホントは男の子の不思議な役です
Mozart e sua divina música imorredoura e atemporal
Bellissima esecuzione di una romanza indimenticabile!
She's more Carmen than Cherubino, but what a spectacular voice nonetheless!
Michael Miller
And a very good Carmen she was too!
Beautiful Voice. Brava!!!!!
She is really good
A GREAT actress!
Thanks a lot for this pleasure!

Not only can I feel the real longing come but see it too in the second half. Great rendition. A Real understanding of the character.
Beautiful sinnging; no acting at all.
You mean no grimacing, don't you?
i love lots of vibrato! the more the better and more fun!

Era da tempo che non sentivo un vibrato fatto come si deve (dannati americani!).
Absolutly Top 5 mezzo: Baltsa, Obraztsova, Verrett, Cossotto, Garanca

How could I have forgotten Agnes Baltsa? Shame on me.
Vibrato vibrante

Just amazing.

@Seamonkey Rocks, Ms Jenkins is a dreadful singer. She has the music transposed to suit her voice. She is pretty enough ish, but that's all.
Aie aie
Je doit apprendre les paroles
! Je suis en 4eme !!!
Sure beats Bartholdi
This is a woman singing not a man
hazelssister Congratulations hazel. After all these years someone noticed.
hazelssister Cherubino is a man.
+MrHbc3 Hahahahahahahaha
Peccato la pronuncia!
too much vibrato, I can't understand what she says. What's the sense then?

Magnificent!! Will I ever be able to see this opera in a beautiful traditional setting like this one with a mezzo half as good as Agnes??
This is not authentic18th century setting.
恋とはどんなものかしら
女歌と思ってたけど、男歌なのね。
I love her voice and admire her technique!
Many many thanks operaduets !! Isn't Baltsa simply wonderful? The Japanese had such a treat 30 years ago !!
Gorgeous voice!
*TAKE THAT GUITAR AWAY FROM HER!!!!* Gosh!
Why do i find Lucia Popp's version the best from far !!!guys did you hear Lucia's version ?!
Lucia's Depuis le jour is exquisite, her Ach, ich fühl’s ... almost everything she recorded was better than all the others.

この曲には昔の思い出が詰まっています。
This is for mezzo, not some screechy soprano.
preciosa voz
Me magnifique❤
Großartig...entdeckt von Herbert von Karajan..
More Octavian than Cherubino but there is room for such an approach especially when carried with such conviction. Memorable.
Three legends in one same video ❤
Meravigliosa!
Fabulous.
Che brava! Un Cherubino da antologia
Thank you! I feel she is best singer, her technic is good cause hearing i think!
Me gusta mucho!!!
vibrato
hermosaaaaaaa
....non brava !!...BRAVISSIMA !!!
Une merveille...❤🇫🇷

I would like to see this character played by a young countertenor. Perhabs in a bit lower tessitura
RubenAngelesOficial Cherubino played by a boy? That would be weird.
@@ferretyluv Why? the character of Querubino is a young boy. Furthermore there are countertenors . I think would be very interesting just to try it
great but I give it 9/10 beacose it sounds like he's been overdoing the vibrato
