I just now, when searching for this aria on Spotify, found out that Maria "was" an opera songstress. She died 9th January this year, 2022, two months shy of 72 years old. Sadly there is very little of her work to be found outside of youtube. Her interpretation of this aria, Voi Che Sapete, is still the best I've come across.
I really do think Italian is one of the most beautiful languages, and it's very suitable for singing. I wish I could live in a multilingual society like Austria in the 18th century, where every composer spoke Italian and French including their native language.
Maria Ewing superbe et totalement crédible dans le rôle de Cherubino , adolescent en pleine crise de puberté.J'aime cette artiste talentueuse. Il ne faut pas oublier que la comtesse finit par être enceinte de Cherubino dans le troisième et dernier volet de Beaumarchais ." La mère indigne"
I was moved greatly by this aria like never before. Superb acting,I loved the look of this character from the first moment, the face, the costume, the sensuality... it was captivating! Sung with a voice from heaven so well placed and articulated, it stirred the emotions, Maria Ewing scored a perfect 10 points! All of this combined with the sublime, incredible music of Mozart, make this a treasure beyond compare.
I'm speechless. How on Earth a 20-year-old singer can perform like that? What a smashing debut! The human voice is indeed the most powerful and sophisticated musical instrument. Rest in peace Maria Ewing, you'll be remembered.
First of all, gorgeous singing. Vibrant timbre, flawless Italian, heartfelt delivery, unpretentious, unadorned, heartfelt. She was also a great Carmen.
Coma mai in Italia è pressochè sconosciuta, anche se paradossalmente le visioni delle registrazioni diffuse da youtube cominciano a renderle giustizia?!
That was simply stunning... lovely... otherworldly! May Maria live long, prosper and bless the world with that rich, powerful, graceful and gorgeous voice of hers! I was more moved by her rendition than any I've seen.
Maria is such a great cherubino. Not only great voice and superb acting, Also so pretty. her voice is as light as a feather. I love it... so much emo..
Maria Ewing has in every role a special, unique interpretation. She is completly different from the other singers because she is the only singer who understands not to pay attention to the technical aspect of the voice but especially to the expression and interpretation and words. And that in a natural way and not overdoing. Respect!
Through the magic of TH-cam I could listen to a bunch of other acclaimed sopranos singing their versions. They were outstanding, but there is something totally magical about this one. Can't explain it, can't understand it, she just has something more. Not a single nuance is overdone, every note has its perfect shape, the tempo is ideal to express all the emotions of the aria, it's nothing short of a miracle.
Maybe I’m reading into it, but I feel like Mozart, given the tools available to him, and his cultural context, sublimely uses his medium to capture the nervousness, the confusion, the trepidation, and the capricious thrill of seeking pubescent carnal pleasure for the first time, as well as its accompanying guilt. He did this over and over, for so many fundamental human emotions. And Ms Ewing’s masterful rendition is unsurpassed, both vocally and dramatically. Artistic perfection.
Voi Che Sapete: von Maria Ewing vorgetragen und leidenschaftlich gespielt, ist wirklich einzigartig und es gefällt mir außerordentlich gut. Ich habe dieses Opern-Video schon mindestens 17 Jahre. Es ist immer so, als höre ich diese Oper das 1. mal. Ein wunderschöner Musikgenuss. Vielleicht geht es vielen so. Das gleiche gilt auch für die Sull'aria, die in der selben Oper vor kommt. (Le Nozze di Figaro) Danke schön!
I have this DVD and found that the director had all but recitative prerecorded so the acting could be on a higher level. Indeed the results are more like a movie with singing than a regular stage performance. And Maria Ewing is the finest Cherubino. The entire cast is extraordinary.
If you like opera then you surely have to admit this is a beautiful singing. We all have our favourites, but we can all surely hear the real and pure talent!
Not only does she sing it so well, she really acts it...even with tears in her eyes. Thsi Cherubino really has the hots for the Countess, you can see. :)
I LOVE what I see and what I hear! She looks like a child, like an angel and her voice is so beautiful ! She acts perfectly, I'm totally INTO this scene. BRAVO !
I had to come back just to make sure what I was hearing what a voice and thanks to the like of TH-cam will be here long then I will live I hope other will enjoy this as many of us have all ready done.
Voi che sapete che cosa e amor, Donne, vedete, s'io l'ho nel cor, Donne, vedete, s'io l'ho nel cor. Quello ch'io provo, vi ridiro, E per me nuovo capir nol so. Sento un affetto pien di desir, Ch'ora e diletto, ch'ora e martir. Gelo e poi sento l'alma avvampar, E in un momento torno a gelar. Ricerco un bene fuori di me, Non so chi il tiene, non so cos' e. Sospiro e gemo senza voler, Palpito e tremo senza saper, Non trovo pace notte ne di, Ma pur mi piace languir cosi. Continue Reading Below Voi, che sapete che cosa e amor Donne, vedete, s'io l'ho nel cor, Donne, vedete, s'io l'ho nel cor, Donne, vedete, s'io l'ho nel cor.
she projects the absolute terror in which Cherubino has to feel at the moment as he sings to the Countess--whose husband is sending him off to join his regiment.
Es un lujo con Mirella Freni, Kiri Te Kanawa y Maria Ewing ...como amo y gozo esta version. Con que enorme belleza describe el amor de juventud Gracias a Mozart, a ellas y a Dios por permitirnos vivir y gozar esto, en dia de San Valentin feliz dia a todos y gracias por compartit
When most people open their mouths (including me), yak comes out. When opera singers open their mouths, this, this extraordinary sound comes out. So beautiful. Mozart really knew how to harmonize, huh!
This gives me chills and brings a tear to my eye. Ewing goes so deep into her character, with utter conviction. Truly touching to witness an singer so committed to her art.
@pettymolly Its not fake, it is her singing, but this is a movie version of Nozze Dr Figaro, she sang this in a recording studio before and they filmed the movie later. Maria Ewing is heaven.
I used to think no one could sing this like Cecilia Bartoli, but Maria Ewing just knocks it out of the park. Bravo.
Diese Version ist meine Lieblingsversion!!
Her acting is superb.....a young boy confused by these unknown feelings of love.
Excellent......
This is the most believable Cherubino I have ever seen. Lovely.
EmKay Animations can’t agree with you more!
and also sing as angel...
On horrible days, and my best ones, this angels voice brought great joy and comfort. May she Rest In Peace.
Aw.
wow. she really understands the character and embodies the role. and such beautiful singing!

jesus, she looks and sounds like a boy!!! it's ideal!!! best voi che sapete i've heard and seen! she's talented actress, her carmen was also so real.
She does NOT sound like a boy.. 😂😂
@@dominothewonderdog I totally agree w you! She doesn't sound like a boy.

Maria you did it again. ...Mozart is very proud of you....nice , beautiful and wonderful voice....and a great technic....The BEST VERSION..
One of the best versions.
Maria Ewing was so beautiful back then.
First of all, gorgeous singing. Vibrant timbre, flawless Italian, heartfelt delivery, unpretentious, unadorned, heartfelt. She was also a great Carmen.
And a great Salome.
@@leedsuza1yeah, she really was! And she still is my favourite Carmen.
a better version ??? no no no there is no one Maria Ewing is outstanding in this aria !!!!
A leghitelesebb "kisfiú", gyönyörű hanggal!
Elizabeth Schwarkopf
Tatiana Troyanos, Karl Böhm and Berliner Operorchester, 1968
Love, love, love this version. She is fantastic.
Stupenda . L'autentica protagonista di questa versione già meravigliosa.
Coma mai in Italia è pressochè sconosciuta, anche se paradossalmente le visioni delle registrazioni diffuse da youtube cominciano a renderle giustizia?!
10 years ago, this incredible video was added to my favorite list. It is still my favorite version of Voi Che Sapete today. So touching!
That was simply stunning... lovely... otherworldly!
May Maria live long, prosper and bless the world with that rich, powerful, graceful and gorgeous voice of hers!
I was more moved by her rendition than any I've seen.
I've watched many Cherubino's on youtube and this performance is the most convincing and sincere of all!! I loved it! Thanks for posting :)
Interpretazione e recitazione prime in assoluto. Fantastica !!!
Maria is such a great cherubino. Not only great voice and superb acting, Also so pretty. her voice is as light as a feather. I love it... so much emo..
Te nos fuistes el 10 de enero, Maria. Siempre voy a llevar en mi corazon tu gloriosa voy e interpretacion de cherubino. Hasta siempre!!!

Voi che sapete che cosa e amor,
Donne, vedete, s'io l'ho nel cor,
Donne, vedete, s'io l'ho nel cor.
Quello ch'io provo, vi ridiro,
E per me nuovo capir nol so.
Sento un affetto pien di desir,
Ch'ora e diletto, ch'ora e martir.
Gelo e poi sento l'alma avvampar,
E in un momento torno a gelar.
Ricerco un bene fuori di me,
Non so chi il tiene, non so cos' e.
Sospiro e gemo senza voler,
Palpito e tremo senza saper,
Non trovo pace notte ne di,
Ma pur mi piace languir cosi.

Muchas gracias por el texto. DIOS les bendiga.
Aw. Thanks so much for the translation.
Definitely the sweetest Cherubino ever and the best interpretation of this aria!
Adorable cherubino.....lovely...lovely...lovely!!!!
@Edna Justino Toledo Indeed !!!
It's in a movie by Ponelle. Singers are Herman Prey, Dietrich Fisher Diskau, Mirella Freni, Kiri te Kanawa and Maria Ewing. Conductor is Karl Böhm.
Her voice is so beautiful and mesmerizing ❤❤❤❤❤❤
she projects the absolute terror in which Cherubino has to feel at the moment as he sings to the Countess--whose husband is sending him off to join his regiment.
You're right! The other Voi Che's look happy - but they should be terrified.
Simply... The most.
And thanks for the words in English
Spendida esecuzione! morbida elegante sensibile
Sublime. I have looked and looked, and couldn't find a better cherubino.
We have just attended our fourth 'Figaro and this is a magic and superb performance.
absolument ! Quelle vérité dans la voix et le regard !
Excellent acting!!! 👏👏
marvellous, i had it on an LP, lovely to hear it again
What the heck is an LP
This is so mozart and so beautiful. Indeed the best interpretation.
This is the best version of Voi Che Sapete! Maria Ewing is marvelous!!!!
Es un lujo con Mirella Freni, Kiri Te Kanawa y Maria Ewing ...como amo y gozo esta version. Con que enorme belleza describe el amor de juventud
Gracias a Mozart, a ellas y a Dios por permitirnos vivir y gozar esto, en dia de San Valentin feliz dia a todos y gracias por compartit
I really love this Aria, and Maria Ewing is the best option to hear it in youtube. BEAUTIFUL.
I come back to this "Voi che sapete" by Maria again and again. Bravissima!
When most people open their mouths (including me), yak comes out. When opera singers open their mouths, this, this extraordinary sound comes out. So beautiful. Mozart really knew how to harmonize, huh!
Maria is the best at this aria . spectacular.
What a beautiful voice !!
Truly excellent ....close your eyes and you are lost such a beautiful voice.
THANK YOU! THANK YOU!...for postingI have heard so many versions but this is by far my favourite Voi Che Sapete...WOW Maria!
Best version I’ve heard so far!
After listening to a c ountless amount of version, I have come to the conclusion that Maria Ewing pretty much owns this song.
Thank you ! So sweet. What a travel !
MERVEILLEUX !!! Maria Ewing est sublime.
She is the best Cerubino, I've ever heard and seen!
Rest in Peace dearest Maria. Loved you so much 🌹
Angels in heaven couldn't beat this voice. Not only can she sing, but she is actually in character, which is rare in an opera singer.
This gives me chills and brings a tear to my eye. Ewing goes so deep into her character, with utter conviction. Truly touching to witness an singer so committed to her art.
Love her facial expressions and voice . Superbly done .
Absolutely breathtaking sound.
She is Cherubino,vocally...and physically!
The best I have heard.
True! I am surprised how good she really is!
The best Cherubino I have ever heard!
Maria Ewing is the best Cherubino I've ever heard. Great!
She has a wonderfully strong voice that adds muscle to her yearnings that no other singer approaches.
Superb. What a great performance.
as superb as when I heard it sung by Maria Ewing decades ago. Fantastic!
this is such a thing of beauty and perfection, any superlative, u name it
Yes, in deed. More than 40 years ago I saw her on PBS TV broadcasting this opera. She was much younger like a teenager at that time.
@pettymolly Its not fake, it is her singing, but this is a movie version of Nozze Dr Figaro, she sang this in a recording studio before and they filmed the movie later. Maria Ewing is heaven.
OH thank you so much for posting it here!
The most marvellous performance
Amazingly good! May be the best Voi Che I have ever heard!
Music and voice from Heaven.
Incredible. Fantastic.
Thank you so much for posting this!
I love this production =))))
this is the first le nozze di figaro I watched =) and I still love it =)
amazing. beautiful.
Una voce dolcissima ed una grande interprete. Mi pare che si tratti del film Le nozze di Figaro del 1976 con Mirella Freni come Susanna. 🤩👍❤
quelle voix magnifique...
