I have heard several professional do the Casta Diva, but none to me like Kimmy Skota...she is absolutely the best...
Casta Diva is one of my favourite arias but I've never heard a more delicate version than Kimmy's. In addition, I'm very surprised by her ability to sing the entire aria without the aid of any dramatic gestures that usually accompanies coloratura singing. So glad to have discovered such a wonderful talent today!
all true.
we listen and we listen. like watching a play, reading a book you learn to pick up nuances. then Kimy comes along there are no nuances necessary.
Who could disagree Kimmy's voice is always so enjoyable and a pleasure to listen to a voice to amaze anyone who listens to her sing
Totally agree with you, Ms. Park.
💫💫💫star
It's a very average performance, the voice is dull and doesn't come out of the mouth. Way too delicate.
This is absolutely fantastic, beyond believe, even Maria Callas would be proud of Kimmy Skota.
For my ears...she would ENVY her!!
Kimmy does South Africa proud! Its sad we cannot access her amazing talent anymore.
...she has a real voice of great beauty and sings without artifice.
May I ask why we cannot access her talent anymore
She's saved by the grace of God, that's fortunate Grace of God and not unfortunate my dear
My last song at my funeral.....just the perfect rendition.
Es rührt mich zu Herzen, wie der alte Niederländer mit den Tränen kämpft! Großartiges Musikstück, das hervorragend interpretiert wird!
Wie ein Mensch nur solch göttliche Töne hervor bringt! Der Wahnsinn! Ein Genuss sondergleichen! Danke!!!
This woman is an angel
When Andre Rieu came to New Zealand years back, I was lucky enough to be able to attend that concert and my biggest memory was witnessing Kimmi perform. Blew everyone else out of the water.
Absolutely beautiful! The beauty of her singing was exemplified by the tears running down the cheeks of several men - including a young one!
❤❤❤❤😢❤
Maestro André Rieu + Kimmy Skota+JSO. ❤❤❤
One of Andre's best sopranos. Missed so much .
Beautifull
Is she no longer living?
@@obivincent6289 no, she left the Johan Strauss Band.
@@obivincent6289 She is serving since then in the Synagogue Church Of All Nations (SCOAN) of Senior Prophet T.B. Joshua in Nigeria.
Exceptionnel ! ❤❤❤
THE Most beautiful thing I have ever heard in my life.
You should listen To Amira Willighagen!!
@@marymonteban1928 I certainly will, thank you xx
Agree, beautiful....but despite what opera "experts" say, it is still subjective, just like any other form of art /Music. I grew up listening to Callas singing this but she was too harsh for me from time to time. I preferred Monserrat but Kimi just sits so right on my ears-soul-being....As Shakespeare once said...There is no right or wrong...only thinking makes it so.
Keep coming back to this. Amazing.
I have said somewhere else ;real diamonds come from South Africa....
Kimmy always delivers the perfect rendition of what ever song she sings note perfect every time I hope we will be able to see her perform with Andre again in the not to distant future
Disagree. Average performance, weak voice that stays in the mouth and hits the upper jaw. Sings correctly, but no soul. Listen to Anahit Mekhitarian's version.
@@Ellada-hu5tx There is an element of subjection to opera as with all music. I grew up with people saying Callas was best but her voice grated on me from time to time. Monserrat did this beautifully but for me...this is tops. There is a natural mellowness to her voice.
I disagree with your comment Ellada you must be tone deaf
Overwhelming!
Anybody noticed that guy crying like me here in 2018...sniffs...too beaautiful Kimmy
I watch this video all the time just to watch him cry! Any man who thinks that men are not supposed to cry should think again and learn by him!❤️ You are NOT weak!!
Wow! It’s as if her voice moved all the men to tears. Only Maria Callas and Kimmy Skota do this piece justice.
Ana Netrebko too
@@igorlopez6592 I'll have a listen.
Montserrat Caballier sings Casta Diva excellently. Anahit Mekhitarian from Bolshoi also has an excellent version, pure and true to Bellini.
@@Ellada-hu5tx I'll check them out.
Montserrat Caballe also deserves credit. She would also make Bellini very proud.
Angel is singing....Thank you Kimi Skota....
Love her and I enjoy listening to her.
I grew up in Bethnal Green, East London in the 60's/70's...yes, time of The Kray Twins. My dad was an armed bank robber but also an artist who won the first and latermany of the Loestler awards for his art. He used to love opera and we listened to it on many many occasions and this particular aria touched me so much as a child. Of course, you had nobody else to share it with when I was a child...it was deemed 'Poofs music' (Try telling THAT to my 6'6" father!!) But this reminds me so much of him. I am so glad that between him with opera and my Mum with her Jazz, I grew up loving music from all over the world. But this rendition is just perfect for me. The last thing I ever want to hear beforwe I die. I have tried playinng it to friends but...they just talk through it about how they appreciate the skill involved etc etc...usual uneducated stuff....but hey...we live on the same plane but different worlds, eh?
A beautiful rose in a pond of Crystal clear water reflecting the blue sky above.,
AND A VOICE SWEETENED WITH HONEY. May she have a very long life.
I did enjoy the performance on the 10th of July 2022 ,such a long time ago ,,felt very moved to see you back again on the vrijthof ,keep up your wonderful music
Piękny głos. Wielki talent.
Never had a song that got so deep in me! Kimmy you thought's my soul! I'm blessed to have heard this. Thank you for your beautiful voice! Your an angel
This woman is astonishing. Absolutely beautiful.
You make us SO SO proud sister!!! Mzansi Magic!!!
Tumelo B well she is clearly classically trained so I'd wager that. But my goodness - wherever she learnt it - what a voice!!
A black diamond , and what a diamond. Bravo Kimmy.
Köszönöm szépen hogy hallhattam
I don't speak the language, but music doesn't need language or a barrier to stop your heart drowning in love and your eyes flooding with tears. Simply beautiful..i love it. Greetings from Fiji..
It is a hymn to the Moon sung by her priestess:
Casta Diva, che inargenti
queste sacre antiche piante,
a noi volgi il bel sembiante
senza nube e senza vel.
Virtuous Goddess, covering with silver
these sacred ancient plants,
turn towards us your fair face
cloudless and unveiled
Tempra, o Diva,
tempra tu de’ cori ardenti
tempra ancora lo zelo audace,
spargi in terra quella pace
che regnar tu fai nel ciel.
Temper, oh Goddess,
you temper the ardent hearts
furthermore, temper the audacious zeal,
spread on earth the same peace
that make you make reign in heaven
@@giovannipellegrini4694 Gracias.
Angelic❤️
Me too...I love bosa nova and Brasillian music of the 60's 70's....I love a song called O Barquinho....them learned it means 'Little boat'....sometimes, it's best to just hear the voice as a beautiful instrument.
The words (I won't denegrate them with the word 'Lyriss!) are beautiful. The opera is a beautiful tale. And knowing the meaning doesn't diminish it one iota.
Enjoy.
Casta Diva Italian Lyrics
Casta Diva, che inargenti
queste sacre antiche piante,
a noi volgi il bel sembiante
senza nube e senza vel...
Tempra, o Diva,
tempra tu de’ cori ardenti
tempra ancora lo zelo audace,
spargi in terra quella pace
che regnar tu fai nel ciel…
Casta Diva English Translation
Pure Goddess, whose silver covers
These sacred ancient plants,
we turn to your lovely face
unclouded and without veil...
Temper, oh Goddess,
the hardening of you ardent spirits
temper your bold zeal,
Scatter peace across the earth
Thou make reign in the sky...
Kimmy has the most beautiful voice! Just gorgeous!
The most beautiful voice I ever heard it's like coming from heaven,fantastic
Her voice sounds and vibrates like a violin or a musical saw. Incredible and sung in high octave. God bless.
Exactly!
I wrote to Beverly Sills many years ago and told her that her voice had the purity of a musical saw. She replied, “ À chacun son musical goût.”
un ange tombé sur terre! Quelle magnifique voix, forte et douce à la fois. l'instrument principal de cette prestation. Merci beaucoup de nous partager. Bravo, Obrigado!
Have you ever heard such a beautiful voice
What a voice ! Stunning performance ! Congratulations !Thanks Andre Rieu for this wonderful video !
Een van de mooiste opera arias en prachtig gezongen en gespeeld
Bravissimo, Diva! Si Bello. Honeyed voice with such power. A virtuoso performance and very moving. Grazie!!!
I could not have put it better Ka jong I had never heard this song before Kimmy delivered a perfect rendition of this song
Descended streight from heaven.
Beautifully controlled and lyrical.
Amazing, beautiful, greetings from Russia! This is very difficult party for opera singers, respect!
Beautiful and wonderful singing
Such a pure voice and she makes it look effortless
Poignant, yet so much lifting. I find solace in this song.
Quelle merveilleuse âme ❤️❤️❤️ merci Kimi skota 💕
Merci André Rieu .
J'écoute encore et encore cette merveille .
Soyez bénis belles âmes 🤗🙏🏿🙏🏾🙏 merci de tout ❤️
Casta Diva che inargenti
Queste sacre antiche piante,
A noi volgi il bel sembiante
Senza nube e senza vel.
Tempra tu de' cori ardenti,
Tempra ancor lo zelo audace,
Spargi in terra quella pace
Che regnar tu fai nel ciel.
no solo tiene limitaciones vocales, también auditivas, esta aria definitivamente no es para ella.
I wept when I heard this nightingale sing. Bellini would be so proud of her.

Kimmy, this is some of the best singing we will hear for many years. I had listened to the early Callas version just before I listened to you. She's great and so are you. Your beauty shines and reflects your fabulous voice. You've got what it takes to make it in every way Good luck dear lady.

Yes, i though, that Montserrat Cabbalie - greatest singer of this aria (Maria Callas not so good as Cabbalie) but Kimmy- the best singer of this party
M. CALLAS WAS AND STILL IS THE BEST.
Then why are you here watching
Wonderful voice, I am proud to be South African, like Kimmy
One of my favorite and she did as good as the best and better than some
Magnifique chanson et très belle voix de la chanteuse kimmy.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😂😂😂😂😊😊😅
That crying young man is me right now 😅
I was there that year she was marvellous.
Superb. Wow breathtaking.
Nach so vielen Jahren noch immer Tränen in die Augen treibend.....magisch!

Kimi, your voice knows no boundaries. Such exceptional beauty. You have the voice of an angel.
Here comes the angelic voice. Breathtaking
Beautiful, her voice pours out so effortlessly !
O voce superbă, excepțională!!!!!!
No, very average. Week voice. There are many better versions, besides Callas and Montserrat find Anahit Mekhitarian.
Absolutely beautiful
Шикарно! Одно из лучших исполнений!!!!!!

Kimmy Skoto has the voice of an angel.
I don't know your age Paul, Skoto is simply marvellous but "The voice of an angel" was Renata Tebaldi

Kwesi said it perfectly, her voice vibrates like a violin. First time I heard her voice it gave me goose bumps and I loved it. Unfortunately the video didn't have her name so I had to hunt for it. Adding some of her performances to my play list. She's truly a gem 💖
Chère Kymy, la pureté de votre voix, sa puissance, et surtout "surtout", l'émotion que vous apporter à chacune de vos interprétations, font de vous une personne unique. Vous avez en vous une immense beauté. Et un talent magnifique. Vous donnez "tout" à chacune de vos interprétation. Vous êtes belle. Vous êtes touchée par la Grâce. A chaque fois que je vous écoute, je ferme les yeux pour me concentrer sur votre voix, et les belles émotions me submergent... Les larmes viennent toute seule. Et même souvent, les sanglots, tellement l'émotion, la grâce et l'amour que vous donnez, me touchent en mon cœur et mon âme... Ce ne sont pas pas de larmes de dépit. Mais des larmes de beauté, d'amour et de grâce que j'accueille avec un bonheur infini. Les autres Cantatrices, me semblent bien fade à côté de vous. Vous devez être une Maman et une Epouse merveilleuse, tant vous donnez d'Amour !... C'est toujours un bonheur de vous écouter et de vous voir. Votre interprétation de l'Ave Maria de Bach me touche particulièrement. Je partage avec vous, et je ressent avec vous, et à travers votre interprétation, toute la beauté et l'Amour universel de Marie... Et quand vous avez fini de chanter vous êtes encore, pour quelques instants, avec la Maman de Jésus, alors que toute la salle exulte de joie et d'admiration. Là est la vrai émotion qui me touche au plus profond de mon être. Pour moi, le véritable Art, est avant tout une belle émotion ! Quelque chose d'indéfinissable et profond qui nous bouleverse. Vous êtes unique Kymy ! Je voudrais acheter un disque, avec vos merveilleuses interprétations. Votre sourire est sincères et généreux. Restez toujours ainsi Kymy. Denis EUDELINE.
Как трогательно! Мальчик заплакал от божественности голоса и музыки...
Наивысшая награда создателям и певице.
Очень посредственное исполнение. Слабый голос, она старается, чтобы голос вышел вперёд, но он остаётся во рту и уходит в затылок. Поет правильно по нотам, но без души.
@@Ellada-hu5tx Mr Rieu is a music Genius who knows who should sing certain songs and he was right on point in this decision and soprano.
According to your elephant ears just being as loud as possible is better, just ridiculous, then Angele Meade would be your choice, a singer with zero musicality, a Rhino barking as loud as she can only making you a good laugh.
True Voice of an angel so gorgeous
en er vallen gewoon tranen op mijn gezicht,
de volle ziel blijft
het hart stroomt over van gevoel
Dank je uit de grond van mijn hart.
Bravo
Beautiful, thank you André Rieu for sharing.
Kimmy is too beautiful and so does her voice.
This is perfection! Thank God I could enjoy Classical music 😭 This is Heavens for me.
This is absolutely superb! She looks as beautiful as she sounds! Brava kimmy! We miss you please return !
Bravo !
Such heavenly majestic beauty!
So beautiful, still makes me cry when she sings this lovely aria.
une des deux plus belles voix qui existe dans notre monde
A mais bela voz feminina que já ouvi em 87 anos de vida. Não consigo segurar as lágrimas em cada uma das muitíssimas vezes em que a ouço. Sérgio Clezar, médico. RS, Brasil.
