'남편을 믿었으나 배신당했다. 신이시여! 대체 어떻게 해야하나요.. 그럼에도 그 사람은 나의 사랑, 희망입니다..' 라고 읊조리는 이 곡은 평생을 들어도 질리지 않네요. 지옥같은 인생길 잠시나마 그래도 인생은 살만한 곳이라고, 희망은 있을거라고 믿는 여인의 슬픔에 흠뻑 젖어 저 또한 마음이 같이 따라 굽이굽이 흐르네요. 최고의 예술.. 정말 감사드립니다.
I like both bartoli and sumi jo's interpretations... but there is a big difference on how their renditions affected me. with bartoli, I felt very impressed, as if I was listening to a great singer who was performing for a big audience on a grand theater, but with sumi jo.... I felt as if I was listening to a woman in solitude simply expressing her own sorrow in song. I felt very much connected to sumi jo's rendition and feel blessed to have listened to it in person! first time I discovered so much depth, so much beauty in a sorrowful melody. thanks sumi jo =)
Yes, a friend of mine who's a voice major told me about Sumi Jo's concert in Manila. It's not widely known and it was a rare occurrence and I was glad I had been told about it! Now I still keep chasing Sumi Jo but it's hard to find announcements about her concerts, her website is not very helpful =( Her live performance is really a much more splendid experience than to watch it in a video.
In my opinion Sumi Jo stands to Sposa son disprezzata as Bartoli stands to Sposa, non mi conosci. The music may be the same, but the arias' meanings are divergent, and the lyrics fit best the person who's singing them - Sumi Jo being a woman in solitude expressing her own sorrow, Bartoli a betrayed hero pleading for revenge
This is my personal favorite version. The sad thing is that she did this concert despite her father's passing the day of this concert. What a professional!
I fell under her spell almost immediately I heard her. Such tenderness and control. I love anyone who truly commits to his or her art and here we have a supreme example of that with the added ingredient of magic ! Iove her...
Let us give some credit, a big one, to the pianist, Vincenzo Scalera, for his sterling work here. Almost perfectly accompanying a diva of outstanding qualities.
Sposa son disprezzata, fida son oltraggiata, cieli che feci mai? E pur egl'è il mio cor il mio sposo, il mio amor, la mia speranza. ________ I am a scorned wife, faithful, yet insulted. Heavens, what did I do? And yet he is my heart, my husband, my love, my hope.
+Dragan Milunovic Has it occurred to you that perhaps part of the art of operatic singing involves learning to control the normal physiological response of "real emotions" in order to express those emotions in song?
What words can I even say? This womans voice is a blessing. To even limit it to words like beautiful is like saying " God has talent". It's t put something limitless within limits not meant for it. Her voice is a blessing. A true gift from God himself. Merci God!
J'ai découvert Sumi Jo en regardant le film Youth, elle interprète merveilleusement the Simple song et depuis j'ai recherché d'autres morceaux, quelle émotion, quelle finesse d'interprétation, c'est un plaisir sans cesse renouvelé que d'écouter Sumi Jo.
Why are you people comparing mezzos to coloratura sopranos? They both sing beautifully in their own respective territories. Sumi is doing a very good job, especially considering she'd recently lost her father when this was recorded. One can tell she isn't feeling quite her best, but her talents and skills shine through every note she sings. She is a true artist and shame on anyone who decides to use this forum to say hateful (and ignorant) things about people of other ethnicities.
Слушал многих великолепных певиц , но я еще раз повторяю Суми Йо -Богиня и лучше её нет и не будет! Я обожаю эту прекрасную и самую талантливую певицу!
Never heard of her before prior to listening to this. Beautifully sung - great intonation - very good pronunciation for a non Italian. Clearly sung with a fine understanding of this piece.
The best soprano ever. Simply because her voice has remained consistent if not getting better. And she has never failed the audience with her performane
This is the best version to mt taste. So many feelings. I write stories on occasion, and once I put this song on the words simply drew themselves on the paper without any effort. How beautiful 💕
Everytime this song comes out from my playlist, I HAVE to stop doing what I'm doing. I can't help but entirely caught up by such a moving interpretation.
I'm staggered that some people have the gall to criticise Sumi Jo's italian!? She's lived nearly exclusively in Rome since 1982. I'm fairly hot on European languages & as far as I'm concerned, whether she sings italian, spanish, french, german, english, it's all well-nigh perfect. When she speaks conversational english, I agree that's it's the speech of a foreigner, albeit with a slight ITALIAN accent. And to say that Koreans don't make opera singers. Apart from the fact that Sumi Jo is one of the greatest singers ever, there are dozens of world-class Korean opera singers (I have a data-base containing over 30 S.Korean sopranos - some of whom are on contract to opera houses in Europe [Vienna, Hungary, Germany, France....USA). Do us a lemon!!!!!!!

Exactly so, the music was composed for the Ottoman Sultan Bajezid. Bajezid sultan faced the mongols in the ankara war. He was captured by the Mongolians with the betrayal of his own soldiers.
Il y a plusieurs interprétations toutes aussi prestigieuses les unes que les autres ,il y a tellement de belles voix dans ce monde ,il est vrai que sumi est merveilleuse
how amazing when she describing on her music...her deep pain, agony, sorrow...just makes me feel same all those feelings.....when she sings, just becomes like sadist a mono drama in theater or sadist movie....
Brava! How could anyone dislike this? There are times when the feeling conveyed by sound is more important than the exact meaning of the message. Breathtakingly beautiful music. This is such a time. Many mahalos for to those who made this music and to those who shared it.
Why does this kind of song is so Short? Even if the running time is 12 minutes it is still not enough.. I can listen to Sumi Jo 24/7.. My heart feels the piece.
Apart from the magnificent performance by a really top star, may I comment on the wonderful pianistic support and the utter freshness of a piece of music that had been written about 300 years ago Altogether, this has been a spellbinding 'find'. Thanks so much....
Superbe!!! Musicalité parfaite,finesse des attaques,subtilité du phrasé ,version remarquable!Sumi Jo ,si délicate,nous épargne les grimaces de certaines...Un enchantement pour nos oreilles et nos yeux... Merci et bravo!
Как я люблю Ваше исполнение! Лучшего я ни когда не слышал. Это так здорово и прекрасно, что нет слов передать те чувства, что наполняют сердце слушателя!
This is very beautiful indeed.. Great technique : look at how little she opens her mouth on PPP notes... All the sound is concentrated in the mask... Great breath support as well, of course.. Emotion, quality of sound.. just great !
Sumi Jo is among my dearest sopranos and mezzos that include Cecilia Bartoli, Victoria de los Angeles, Montserrat Caballe and Angela Gheorgiu. Bartoli being the greatest, however in Norma, Sumi Jo ought to be Norma. Sumi Jo is an amazing coloratura soprano, but when it comes to performing skills and acting Bartoli reigns supreme.
A very beautiful rendition of this haunting piece with plenty of understatement (which is essential in Italian opera as far as I'm concerned!). This is extremely tasteful and the melody sounds surprisingly modern in spite of having being composed nearly 300 years ago. Always a good indication. Many thanks for posting this good recording!
So hauntingly beautiful. Some of the comments here are really crass. Nothing to do with artistry at its highest level, which of course we are seeing in Sumi Jo.
One can't show too much of affection in a song when, at the same time, her father is fighting death in a hospital at the other end of the world !!! It's a wonder she didn't cancel that evening.
If I may be so presumptuous as to assume that this is a professional copy of Bartoli's unbelievable recording... it is no less every bit a masterful performance. An Asian performer glittering this brightly through an Italian operatic piece is a rare thing to behold. (That's not a prejudicial judgment, just a general accounting.) There is certainly some magic in how well she has merged with this style. I have to assume she's actually more European than Asian in her personal life.

Das Ergreifende daran ist, dass man Sumi Jo jedes Wort und jeden Ton glauben kann.

Now I still keep chasing Sumi Jo but it's hard to find announcements about her concerts, her website is not very helpful =( Her live performance is really a much more splendid experience than to watch it in a video.
agree. i can't even listen to bartoli's self indulgent dog and pony show anymore after i was fucked in the ear hole by sumi jo

The music may be the same, but the arias' meanings are divergent, and the lyrics fit best the person who's singing them - Sumi Jo being a woman in solitude expressing her own sorrow, Bartoli a betrayed hero pleading for revenge
This is my personal favorite version. The sad thing is that she did this concert despite her father's passing the day of this concert. What a professional!
Her focus and mastering is stunning, she really brings it to a superior form of art,
I fell under her spell almost immediately I heard her. Such tenderness and control. I love anyone who truly commits to his or her art and here we have a supreme example of that with the added ingredient of magic ! Iove her...
It's so moving! For me Sumi's the greatest soprano ever. No other artist can pass such a deep message through her music as she does.
Masterpiece
The piano performer is fantastic as well
The absolutely best interpretation for me
Grateful for your beauty
This is amazing! Best version! The sad thing is that she did this concert despite the fact that her father passed.
I have tears streaming down my face. This is beyond beautiful
The awesomeness of Sumi Jo. This is heavenly.
Let us give some credit, a big one, to the pianist, Vincenzo Scalera, for his sterling work here. Almost perfectly accompanying a diva of outstanding qualities.
I am 6'4", 215 pounds and a professional bodyguard, and I am not ashamed to say this song made me cry.
IRockJs7 i am 5'2, 23 years old, 47 kg, single, lame, dumb, weak as fuck, unemployed, no friends, no lif--- wait this is going in the wrong direction.
@Abdul Mouiz you have a friend now amigo
abdul ma mood has been changed after read yours hehehe
I'm 6'5" and 205lb but this song made me cry too.
She is gorgeous and her song is very elegant so there is no shame of crying
One of the best renditions. And the miracle is that it is a live performance.
She is really good, and being italian I can tell: her italian is good enough to sing belcanto. Brava Sumi Jo!
Yes ,her Italian Is very good .from an Italian man.
Heyyyyy Johny Macaronni ovah heeeere
Good enough to sing belcanto? That sentence doesn't make sense 😂 why do people always try to sound clever and make a fool of themselves?
Sposa son disprezzata,
fida son oltraggiata,
cieli che feci mai?
E pur egl'è il mio cor
il mio sposo, il mio amor,
la mia speranza.
________
I am a scorned wife,
faithful, yet insulted.
Heavens, what did I do?
And yet he is my heart,
my husband, my love,
my hope.
So beautiful and sad. The pain in her voice is definitely justified by these lyrics
thanks for the translation
+Dragan Milunovic Has it occurred to you that perhaps part of the art of operatic singing involves learning to control the normal physiological response of "real emotions" in order to express those emotions in song?
Brava :) ottima traduzione
@Sonay Italian.
The voice of angel... beautiful in pain.

Supremely beautiful. I listened to this aria twenty times in succession and it's beauty never diminishes.
Sublime sumi Jo

I've never listened to an opera before but god .. that was so amazing
The best soprano ever. Simply because her voice has remained consistent if not getting better. And she has never failed the audience with her performane
3:10 -3:34 This part is just so gorgeous. Giacomelli was a genius. Sumi Jo's voice is so breathtaking.
I am spellbound. What beauty, what enchantment, what a voice, what an inspiration!
Can't stop but listen to this masterpiece with her voice over and over. I just can say that it is not just beutiful but breathtaking. Thank you.
Absolutely Amazing
This is the best version to mt taste. So many feelings. I write stories on occasion, and once I put this song on the words simply drew themselves on the paper without any effort. How beautiful 💕

I totally agree with you on that

Господи,какой голос, какая душа, как ты прекрасна Суми Джо! Век -бы слушал без перерыва!

And my favorites are; Montserrat Caballé and Cecilia Bartoli.

a wonderful piece...
Why not listened that much? Hard to understand. I sometimes come and visit here
wow! No words...
My favourite coloratura soprano ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
And the piano part is unsurpassed. Thank you for such a delight!
Bellísima voz ymaravillosa canción

Oh Sumi Sumi Sumi Jo, when will you be mine. So perfect in every way, as usual. I love you Sumi Jo. X
이 노래는 'sposa'로 시작되는 첫 소절이 아주 매혹적 입니다. 조수미씨 의 높은 음색에 잘 맞는 아리아군요. 잘 들었어요~.
