@@raphaelaelin6299 i know. It's amazing. And there she is older than here. But it's mostly easier to hit a high note in a fast passage. And here she sings long note with amazing support!
Ufff que clase de canto.!!! Todo, tiene todo, y una sobriedad impactante, que la hace elegante. En lo demás qué destacar que no sea evidente: colorarura excelsa, voz que no se descompone y es pareja en toda la escala, timbre y color de su voz agradables, dominio absoluto de la respiracion, fiato solvente.....todo!

Rossini wrote the role of Rosina in "The Barber of Seville" for contralto. I was wondering why, most often the main young female figures in operas are sopranos. In all adaptations of "Barber", which I found on youtube, Rosina's part was performed by mezzo-soprano or soprano. Finally, after a long search, I found Rosina's arias sung by Ewa Podleś. And then I understood why Rossini wrote this role for contralto. If Geltrude Righetti - the first performer of this role was as good as Ewa Podleś, it is not surprising that Rossini wrote an opera for her. Later, he repeated it in "Cinderella". There, the main role is also contralto. It is a pity that it is such a rare voice that in modern adaptations it is replaced by mezzo-soprano or soprano. GREAT EWA PODLEŚ!!!
At Rossini's time the word mezzosoprano didn't exist, mezzos and superhigh mezzos were called contralto, barber and Cinderella are written in a mezzo tessitura, podles has a very wide range, so she can sing contralto and mezzo roles equally well
Na początku kariery Ewa Podleś też była mezzosopranem, a przynajmniej tak ją sklasyfikowano. Ja pamiętam jeszcze afisze na mieście Ewa Podleś- mezzosopran. Dopiero później fachowcy zrozumieli, że jest to jednak kontralt, głos znacznie szerszy.
Because I have heard the same aria sung with similar perfection by other dedicated professionals. Check out Cecilia Bartoli in the definitive staging of this opera with Gino Quilico as the quintessential Figaro. Yes, this is a sublime performance. But it is not the only sublime performance, and thank God for that!
все же по-моему эта ария не совсем ее. Тут сопрано нужно (лучше колоратурное), более легкий голос, тонкий, пронзительный и подвижный, а она контральто, полная противоположность, ее голос слишком темный, грудной, он увесист местами и низок для данной арии, а она игривая, воздушная, задорная и низкий вокал весьма тут не вяжется
@@annette175Эта ария как раз её! В оригинале Россини написал партию Розины для колоратурного меццо. Вот это и есть образец подлинной Розины. А то что молодая/зрелая - это не спектакль. Что, разве не видели корпулентных, певших молоденьких героинь...
Merci à Jacques Martin, qui est le présentateur que l’on voit à la fin de cette prestation musicale. Il participait chaque dimanche à la culture musicale des français. 💙🤍❤️
I had no idea a contralto could hit a high B. So effortlessly at that!! Her timbre is definitely contralto, but if she can pull high B's, shes more of a soprano I'd think. Yes, know one's voice is where the timbre is the strongest (for her the midrange) but she really pulled that B so clearly and precisely.
She's not a soprano! She's a text book contralto, she has a huge vocal range tho. She can hit notes from 2nd octave as well, but it doesn't make her a baritone :)
@TheLecounter Barbieri had lyric voice, which sounded "off" and tensed in the lower notes and Butt was NOT an opera singer (she was only one or two times in her life on opera stage and it wasn't too successful), but a recital

Uważam, że Rada Języka Polskiego powinna wprowadzić możliwość zapisu imienia Ewa w języku polskim również w wersji łacińskiej "Eva". Dużo artystek polskich miało później kłopoty w świecie z imieniem Ewa, które kaleczono. Np. Ewa Małas-Godlewska, Ewa Podleś czy też Ewa Demarczyk takie kłopoty miały. A gdyby zaraz była to Eva Podleś lub Eva Demarczyk, to kłopotów tych by nie było.
@@edwardamosbrandwein3583 How about not muffled or ingolata? Im sorry that you can't hear a muffled voice that is being swallowed. She had a good voice, but it could have been better.
@@inceejigini9284 makes no difference. Low does not equal automatic muffle. Go listen to Clara Butts who is even deeper, and her contralto is resplendent. Eula Beal is another great contralto who does not sing ingolata. The technique makes the singer, not the fach. Ewa sang muffled and ingolata most of her career. Could have been a much much better voice if she didnt.
We lost Her and with Her this unique, incredible voice yesterday. RIP, Ewa!
Spoczywaj w pokoju 😢 Rest in peace 😢
One of the best versions I have ever heard.
THIS is as close to technically perfect singing as I’ve witnessed in years. BRAVO, Ms. Poodles! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
At least make an effort to spell her last name correctly.
Wieczny odpoczynek racz jej dać Panie.

@@ariasemusicaslegendadas7657 why do you think so?
@@greenwoods798 Her passaggio is different from an contralto, her voice is very light for an contralto, and she darkens her voice a lot
O voce exceptionala..un timbru frumos ..inteligenta artistica ....Bravo!!!!
Un cadou frumos pe care Dumnezeu L-a facut sufletelor noastre...
Easily the most underrated singer of the last 40 years.
I agree
Yeah she is flipping fantastic

This is wonderful!! Can't fathom how the human voice can do this!
Beautiful! Phenomenal versatility!❤
Semplicemente mozzafiato, straordinaria, strepitosa! ❤❤❤
Absolutely deserves a standing ovation
voce unica ammaliante!
How do you listen to her sing this and not think "this is exactly how it should sound?"

She has a great voice and great technique. Something to marvel in a contralto.

Una bella voz para el recuerdo
Thank you for sharing. It's a real gem...💎

such a deep and beautiful voice my God 😍😍😍

Es contralto.
Coloratura is the highest range voice not lowest.
