Ailyn is great and delivers, as always. But i must say, the conductor's passion is electrifying! He almost stole the show. He knows when the music needs to pull back a little, and when to let it explode. He seems to own his own interpretation, while giving respect to Verdi's art. Bravo!
I had the pleasure to meet her the evening after she won the Richard Tucker Award when she performed with the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra...What a delightful and talented artist she is...May she continue a great and successful career....❤
Ok, Ok, never in my life did I ever think I would fall in love with opera..... What ? I was flipping radio channels and came across this voice... Voice.... it is not a voice, it is not an instrument... It is an angelic titan sound which brings tears to my eyes.... I turned down a side street and stopped..... what now, where do I go. what do I feel,, think - ???? I will never be the same.... all sounds will have to stand to the side....
Love the Maestro ! What an involvement, mean what a deep sensibility with the music itself ! Congrats for the whole rendition of this real masterpiece !!! JAL, from Brazil
Stunning! She is marvelous. Beautifully and effortlessly sung, heartfelt. I was in owe listening. Chorus, orchestra and conductor absolutely fabulous. No comment for the rest.
I think this is one of those performances that is a defining moment in a career. Renee Fleming on opening night of the Met season as Desdemona. Kathleen Battle as Semele at Carnegie Hall. Lorraine Hunt Lieberson in Les Troyens at the Met. And Miss Perez - best wishes on your engagement to Soloman Howard, a man of such strength and goodness.
The perfect performance for the anniversary of such a horrific event. It meant more to me now than when I first saw/heard it over 10 years ago at the Academy of Music in Philadelphia. And I was in awe then!
I totally agree! I was SO underwhelmed by the other 3! Perhaps live she is missing the heft of a Verdi soprano, but here she is simply MAGIC. Vocally and interpretatively
@@stefanodepeppo Then why even entertain her singing this music if life she could be missing this “heft” you speak of? Which is not the case, her vowels are over darkened, swallowed, nasal off and on, the space in the back of her mouth collapses as she descends creating a lopsided effect. She’s simply gorgeous, important to our art form today. But she needs to change her approach to vowel shapes; ie open ones. She’s missing squillo in her sound which would lend itself incredibly helpful when celebrating this style of music in performance.
When the real thing comes, it will be a dread day indeed, except for those who have put their faith in God's only begotten Son, Jesus Christ, and thus escaped the terrors of eternal judgement into eternal life. John 3:16
No she is a lyric dramatic by way of the richness in her whole fach, as well as the strength of her chest notes, and she easily soars above chorus in ensembles. Reminds me of Gilda Cruz-Romo.
Beautiful lady with a beautiful voice, but it seems a size too small for this music, and the total lack of a solid chest register does a great disservice to the low-lying passages. Unlike most singers of her generation, her jaw doesn't shake, and she doesn't look like she's chewing the sound.
@@flicfan416 I've heard many a soprano struggle with the range required for this - a solid two octaves from middle C to C6. The acid test is the unaccompanied passage in the middle, where Verdi wants long lines of soft singing, ending in a supersoft high Bb. This is lyrico-spinto writing; I would not want to hear a dramatic voice in this work. Churlish to criticise Pérez here - you can clearly see she's struggling with her emotions.
I think the exact opposite about the chest voice, she is indeed one of the very few singers regarding today’s opera who has developed and uses it. Her middle tones have body unlike many of today’s voices and her chiaro scuro is impressive. Listen to her “Estrellita”, you’ll hear it.
I LOVE the fact the she sounds and sings exaxtly as a mixture of Alessandra Marc and Cheryl Studer at their prime (their voices are much bigger though). I always liked Ms Perez, but LOVE LOVE LOVE this „I don‘t care, every single phrase, If not every second note I sing needs „Glottisschlag“ and hey, my voice is still intact too, so the right intonation will come most of the time“ attitude of that performance! And the outcome is just fantstic!❤️❤️❤️
@@josephweeks4326 Listen, it’s not my fault that you have a Masters in Opera from Manhattan School of Music and you work at Bed Bath & Beyond… More importantly, you’re not a critic, a real critic publishes critiques in a newspaper or magazine, not in the TH-cam comment section.
@@charlesbeloved7951 Ummmm, odd that you’re attempting to tell me I’m no critic when you’re the one who was attempting to be one? Your reads are tired, learn how to be gay and sassy from a source of originality. Participating in active traditions that are tried and true is what keeps art forms alive. Not petty idolatry focused at the faces of opera queen’s obsessive qualities.

I hope she doesn't sing anything heavier. She's the only one with a healthy voice of the 4.

Yes hopefully no Butterflies and Toscas for another 10 years (if ever) - the voice is too beautiful to ruin.

I fucking love gurren lagann
12:45 Full Bernstein Tempo number 😀huge rit and then a huge accelerando = very camp but wonderfully exciting nevertheless
Camp?
I'm here for Yannick.
I listen and feel a beautiful Solo-Soprano❣ and great performance in Verdi REQUIEM. JUST the arrangements with this pics I mean ...is not compatible👎
When the real thing comes, it will be a dread day indeed, except for those who have put their faith in God's only begotten Son, Jesus Christ, and thus escaped the terrors of eternal judgement into eternal life. John 3:16
In my opinion, she defintely is a light soprano but the true virtues of coloratura are voice agility, and are not shown here.
No she is a lyric dramatic by way of the richness in her whole fach, as well as the strength of her chest notes, and she easily soars above chorus in ensembles. Reminds me of Gilda Cruz-Romo.
@@maxinecornucci5953 Agree, thanks for the quote!
@@maxinecornucci5953 By the way, what do you think of Angela Gheorghiu in this same role?
@@billmarrufo i loved her! Very dramatic but the voice was strained a bit because it’s like an Abigaile throat shredder!
I have heard her in real. Definitely a full lyric soprano.
12:14
Molto brava come interpretazione ma voce nasale brutta, non verdiana. Peccato coreeggendo l’impostazione della voce sarebbe molto interessante
Soft

It's fine. You can't have everything. I'll trade a more robust lower register for the ease and grace Perez shows in her top.

That is not NOT coloratura!
definitely NOT , she is not a Coloratrura soprano by any stretch
Cómo payasea el director.
el disfruta su musica y sus instrumentos a lo payaso, déjalo vivir !!!
HORRIBLE, perdón pero es horrible, POVERO VERDI
I saw her Mimi at Covent Garden and it was the best live Mimi I've ever heard. She's amazing.
Stunning. I belong to choral society singing as a sop 1 this Sat. And this completely booked ne over and made me weep
I was there. It was an incredible performance.
W VERDI ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
What a pianissimo !!!!😍😍😍😍😍😍🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🇨🇲❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for posting this
Wow....
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👌
Shes winderful
she is just amazing.
Her low register is weak.
Un chef d'orchestre rare et tellement participant avec ses musiciens Extraordinaire cette soprane elle aussi Du beau spectacle vraiment
She is just AMAZING

Hey so much throat it in the attack on the sound !!! It’s ugly! And it doesn’t have anything to do with the dramatic expression
You’re just jealous because she’s singing at Met Opera and you’re singing in the shower. 😂
