There seems to be a fascination with sopranos without the proper voice type singing this aria on TH-cam, but that is not the case with Carol Vaness. She is a perfect Fiordiligi singing this aria perfectly.
Indeed, a lot of singer idiots think fach is a past, 20th C idea. Absurd. It is laughable how light sopranos try to fit into this. Undercasting is revolting in the business and rampant.
After listening to many in a row I must say, this rendition is outstanding. Now I'm only dreaming about one with cannon lows. Maria Callas and Ewa Podles didn't record it, what a loss...
I struggled as a student with this--unbelievably hard. she just falls off a log with it! What a voice!!! If you really know Mozart you can hear what he's going to do compositionally with it, and I didn't know that then....
No words for how much I love this extraordinary artist! SING, GREATNESS!

I love the way her phrasing is balanced - the highest note isn't out of alignment with a lower note marked forte.
One of my favorite singers. She brought Mozart opera really, really alive. Thank you Carol. Loved your work.
It really doesn’t get any better than this!
Si para una soprano Mozart escribió esto......es para Carol Vaness.
Ideal .

Always loved listening to her.
She was my daughter's vocal pedagogue at Indiana University's Jacobs School of Music. A lovely lady, she is.
Simply outstanding 🩵
