She has a surprisingly large and pure voice for someone who is physically so tiny. Clearly, her technique is superb and she also takes care to place emotional emphases at the right places in the text which many Baroque singers fail to do.
@@littlesunshine9218 Range is not determined by body size. For instance, high 'coloratura soprano' range in both the tiny, slim Lily Pons and 'Big-boned' 6-foot tall Joan Sutherland. But body size and shape IS your Instrument. Like any musical instrument it has its unique qualities and the Singer must learn to 'play' what she or he has been given by Nature.
@@suzannederringer1607 Body size has nothing to do with how the voice projects or sounds. And of course, tall women can be coloratura sopranos - it's just very less likey than with a small/short woman.
@@littlesunshine9218 How the Voice 'projects' depends upon TECHNIQUE. That's the whole point of Voice Voice Lessons. Body size and shape and bone density and fat have a great deal to do with the unique Sound of each Voice. A Cello sound like a Violin but both 'project' their sound through proper playing.
I love all the comments about how happy and effortless she makes it look... let me assure you, as someone who does this, she might or might not be loving every second, but she's a professional and working her butt off! She's not only a great singer, but a great actress. Even when the continuo crashes at 1:41 (I think somebody jumped ahead to the da capo) and she has to IMPROVISE and wait for the beat to find her again, she's right back on the horse in under 3 seconds as if it never happened - and until I looked at the score, I honestly had no idea. Also, I love the way she ornaments the da capo - enough to make it fresh but also stay within the style and not just show off. This is what an experienced professional looks and sounds like, folks. Exquisite!
What I love bout this singer is not ONLY her amazing timbre & technique, but her manifest enjoyment of what she's doing. So many singers furrow their brows & look agonized as they produce their finest notes & trills, but Julia's having a great time, enjoying every second of the music & of her own virtuosity. And the fun she's having spills over onto the accompanists---just watch the violinist at 3.06! The sound is divine, but just watching her brings a smile to my face. Thank you Julia.
@Janet Rizvi I’m no opera singer,in fact I’m not even a singer/in choir, but after reading your comment I’ve realised that she really is just having fun singing and that just brought a smile into my face.Thanks for pointing this out and making my day better :)
@@jeankim7758 I could listen to her all day! Wish she'd come to Madison, WI and I could see her in person--only if we don't have to wear masks. I think she sings as close to perfection as is possible on this earth.
Another reason for the conductor to be at a harpsichord is because of the layout of the keyboard part for the piece. Leading into the B section of the Aria, the main harpsichordist switches to the continuo organ, and someone must take over the harpsichord part whilst she switches. Baroque music is not just beautiful sounding, it’s beauty is in it mechanics of perfection and performance.
@@Paulsonof Keyboard is arguably a much better term, and people generally prefer it when talking about period music. And that is because they could have very well been sitting at a positive chest organ instead of an harspichord, or really whatever instrument available. Don’t go off and immediately compare it to the modern piano, that doesn’t really work well. Translating the harpsichord as the piano of our time is not very correct. Keyboard instruments were much more diverse than now, and people had also different ideas and such around them.
L'orchestre est exeptionnel et semble prendre beaucoup de plaisir. Un bon point pour le chef d'orchestre et accessoirement au clavecin. Pour Julia qui est divine, j'ai déja laissé plusieurs commentaires élogieux. Une très grande dame, très douée et très belle. Que du bonheur. Mille fois merci Julia. Continuez à nous émerveiller les yeux et les oreilles.
I came here because of TwoSet. I've been a singer my whole life (not operatic, though!) and god, I wish I could sing like this....!!!! Definitely got a new favourite singer thanks to this!
I’ve been studying opera for 18 months and it’ll take me several more years to even get close to what she is doing if I’m lucky. My voice teacher is learning this song right now and it gave her a run for her money.
Je suis obligé de remettre un petit commentaire. Je n'arrive pas à décrocher tellement c'est incroyable. Les vocalises de Julia sont magnifiques. Ce petit bout de bonne femme fait ce q'elle veut avec sa voix. Bravo et bonne continuation Julia. Mes oreilles sont sur un petit nuage. Quand je pense aux heures de travail acharnées pour arriver à la perfection. Encore merci Julia, tu es géniale et exceptionnelle.
Allez, encore un petit compliment pour Julia. Pas de vibrato; écoutez bien, le vibrato est utilisé sciemment et consciemment. La puissance et l'aisance sont toujours présentes. Julia est certainement une des plus grandes soprano de sa génération. Encore merci Julia. ❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉.
I was lucky enough to meet Julia in Vienna after a concert in which she was encored at least six times!! She is almost exactly my height (tiny!!) and incredibly sweet in person. It blew my mind hearing her live.
Astounding. She was 21 here? What a talent, and what a technician. She's a musician's musician. One of the most enjoyable parts of the video was seeing the musicians in the ensemble exchange looks of sheer delight and wonder-the little smiles that can't be hidden, the lively eye contact during pauses. It's exciting to be part of something like this: her singing is truly of the "I didn't think it possible" level. How lucky for those who were there to hear the performance live!
Je réécoute ce morceau magique une nouvelle fois. Je n'en reviens toujours pas de cette voix mélodieuse et très souple. Pas de vibrato, souplesse, agilité. Que du bonheur. Merveilleuse et exceptionnelle, la petite Julia. Encore merci.
Thanks to twoset violin (or more specifically Sanna Iljin) for recommending this one. I just finished watching 29 videos of Julia Lezhneva. I've discovered a new favourite! Amazing.
Even though I get that this is extremely technical and difficult, there's this playful effortlessness about it which makes it just charming. I find that quite rare in classical music (but then I'm just a pleb).
You are perfectly right. If the 'experts' spent less time being pretentious, they would enjoy your freshness of perception. And if you listen enough, you'll be a genuine expert anyway!
Cela fait une vingtaine de fois que j'écoute ce morceau. Le sourire de Julia et sa voix magnifique me remontent toujours le moral. J'ai déjà laissé plusieurs commentaires . À chaque fois je découvre quelque chose de nouveau. Par exemple, son niveau de concentration. Plein d'autres choses encore, car Julia est tout simplement parfaite. Dans cette interprétation, on peut remarquer que l'orchestre et Julia s'amusent beaucoup. Preuve en est que l'on peut faire de très bonnes choses tout en s'amusant et en prenant du plaisir. Bravo Julia et bravo l'orchestre.
Quelle agilité dans la voix, quelle souplesse. Julia est tout simplement merveilleuse. Bravo madame. Félicitations et bonne continuation. L'orchestre aussi est parfait.
Well, I was wondering how Miss Julia Lezhneva can be half way between a woman and a bird, a celestial one strolling high, so lightly on its wings up there. This all the way through this wonderful Haendel piece. It's amazing, since she's amazing ;-) !
So glad someone provided a reference to that part!! I've never heard anything like it. Also check out that little flicker of light in her eye after she turns her head at 1:26.........
Incredible, this performance gave me tears. I knew the Amanda Forsythe version but Julia gave an different and unbelievable experience too. It is why classic and opera is my favorite genre now. Beauty and truth combined and so moving.
Her voice is out of this world, couldn’t believe such a big sound could come from a apparently small size person who was just 21years old during this recording. I also observed how the other musicians are enjoying her performance very much……..!!!
This girl stepped-out of a fresco somewhere in St. Petersburg; even her physical appearance, along with her voice, seem cut right out of the mid-1700s. The way she commands every note without belittling the accompaniment, and the way the latter doesn’t compete with her voice, is so cool to see on video. Thanks!
Everything about the comments here! I don't know if it was mentioned, but when your first violin shows such unbridled appreciation, it's not just another concert!
I also feel happy looking at her face's happy expressions.. Listening to her voice was like listening to the birds of paradise's joyful tweets.. So rare..
~Da tempeste il legno infranto, se poi salvo giunge in porto non sa più che desiar. Così il cor tra pene, e pianto, Or che trova il suo conforto torna l'anima a bear.~ "A storm-battered vessel, if it at least arrives safely in port, has nothing left to desire. So my heart, through suffering and weeping, now that it has found comfort, returns to make my soul happy at last."
You're sold before she even sings a note. She looks at the audience and everything about her says 'you're going to enjoy this"and then she just soars. Benjamin Zander in his classes always has an uphill struggle to persuade young performers to connect with the audience and he should just show them this.
As well as admiring her skill I also find myself chuckling when I watch her-she seems to sing a passage of astonishing difficulty and then looks as if saying 'well, that was easy'. Even the violinists laugh admiringly.
This is actually the performance of Julia that I enjoy the most. Her voice control and her registre always amazed me. It is a real joy for the ear and soul.🇨🇷💖💞🌹
About Julia Lezhneva's rendition of the aria da capo, Händel at that moment was praying God this little favor: "They are plenty of windows! Dear Creator! Just give me a minute with Mademoiselle Lezhneva and one of those windows!"
Some weird things happening about 2:45. First the female harpsichord player vanishes into thin air and then a flute is to hear out of nowhere. Julia Lezhneva is not from this world. I can't take my eyes and ears of her. Truly mesmerizing.
Indeed! I have watched this many times and have never noticed that. You have “sharp” eyes @sharpandsentient 😏 - My curiosity got the better of me and I watched again and I think I figured it out. - The harpsichordist and the continuo organ (organo/little organ?) player are one and the same person - At about 1:56 she moves over to the organo - if you look past the first violinist you see her settling in at the organo 2:02-2:14 - and then at 3:22 she takes her music and moves back to the harpsichord (notice at 3:34 there is now no one at the organo) - At 1:59 there is a dull thud - it is probably her as she makes the move over to the organo - I have no idea where the flutist is - and neither does the camera person 🙂 - Yes - I had too much time on my hands tonight, but thank you @sharpandsentient for the little visual challenge!
My FAVORITE ,,Girl''... !!!! She is ,,simply the BEST'' - and I will NEVER understand,HOW She can sing in the Corsette !!! THIS Girl should sing Something with Czech ,,C'echomor''... !!!!! As Lenka Dusilovà did... !!!
Her voice is the silkiest chocolate; it's the smoothest golden satin; it's linens flowing in a gentle breeze. Her control, technique, and quality are so ethereal and effortless, and I love it. My ears thank her.
Isn't it wonderful and amazing what you can discover on You Tube! This IS a real discovery.A wonderfully fresh,clean and unspoilt voice(long may it stay thay way).What promise for the future.She was only 22 when she recorded this! I just hope that the vultures from the opera houses,agents and record companies do not get there hands on her. Sorry,I have to go, my head is spinning thinking of all the possibilities of this voice(and person).
sooo beautifully sung with crystal clear coloratura and graceful expressive phrasing but also can we appreciate the harpsichordist/conductor absolutely rocking out
Her singing makes your heart soar... the camera work makes your head spin. (And to preempt all the smart alecs out there... comments like these wear your patience thin!)
Julia Lezhneva is an exceptional singer. Love her wonderful runs and resonant legato lines. Crisp articulation, the scalic passages are never rushed nor slurred; like the clear double tonguing of a flutist. Love her lightness of touch and superb Handelian energy. Bravissimo!
I was watching in awe.... like-literally! My mouth shaped in small "o" and when the video suddenly stopped because the wifi is fudging garbage!!!!!! Well, I had to set down my phone for a minute cuz I kinda broke one of our glasses while violently throwing my arms around in frustration.😅
Lyrics: Da tempeste il legno infranto, se poi salvo giunge in porto, non sa più che desiar. Così il cor tra pene e pianto, or che trova il suo conforto, torna l'anima a bear.
Brava! Despite the orchestra being a bit out of synch, I am in love with this interpretation! She is my new Queen of Baroque. No one of our era can compare!

I love it!!!!!!
Everyone just look like they're having so much fun its beautiful!
I mean, how could that be different when you have such an ensamble of talented people who love what they do? Those are the best concerts.
So is Julia . . . and the entire ensemble, especially the concert Mistress!

Such an enchanting sound! how she’s able to blend so well with the orchestra and her technique is incredible!
I think that if Handel was there... he'd be happy to hear his piece.
After watching a few time, I can confidently say that she is Snow White!
Who came here after watching twoset?
Me!!
Me... She is amazing
I did! Listening to her was so delightful! :D

There's a clarity and lightness that makes me think of Emma Kirkby a bit.

Amanda Forsythe is more than Esquisite . The rest... And you know it!
Shes 21 whem she recorded it according to Sanna. Omg. She is amazing.
I wouldn't even think any of this is humanly possible if I had not heard it...

So nice to see an ensemble directed from the keyboard, which was the way it was done in the baroque period.
Harpsichord, to be precise... 😀

You are so right. There are some weird sounds/mistakes and actions in the orchestra. Julia sings through it beautifully.
Indeed! I have watched this many times and have never noticed that. You have “sharp” eyes @sharpandsentient 😏
- My curiosity got the better of me and I watched again and I think I figured it out.
- The harpsichordist and the continuo organ (organo/little organ?) player are one and the same person
- At about 1:56 she moves over to the organo - if you look past the first violinist you see her settling in at the organo 2:02-2:14 - and then at 3:22 she takes her music and moves back to the harpsichord (notice at 3:34 there is now no one at the organo)
- At 1:59 there is a dull thud - it is probably her as she makes the move over to the organo
- I have no idea where the flutist is - and neither does the camera person 🙂
- Yes - I had too much time on my hands tonight, but thank you @sharpandsentient for the little visual challenge!
Handel's got to hand it to her...Her happiness just shines through..

Her voice is the silkiest chocolate; it's the smoothest golden satin; it's linens flowing in a gentle breeze. Her control, technique, and quality are so ethereal and effortless, and I love it. My ears thank her.
I absolutely love this performance and the way Julia is communicating with the audience by her gaze and smiles!
Isn't it wonderful and amazing what you can discover on You Tube!
This IS a real discovery.A wonderfully fresh,clean and unspoilt voice(long may it stay thay way).What promise for the future.She was only 22 when she recorded this!
I just hope that the vultures from the opera houses,agents and record companies do not get there hands on her.
Sorry,I have to go, my head is spinning thinking of all the possibilities of this voice(and person).
sooo beautifully sung with crystal clear coloratura and graceful expressive phrasing but also can we appreciate the harpsichordist/conductor absolutely rocking out
The male violinist at the back is so me HAHAHAHA but only his stare is so different while he steal a glance on Leshneva HAHAHAHA
This one really feels like someone who's waiting excitedly for someone special
So good to see a younger singer who doesn’t sound nasal and constricted.
Came after watching twoset, stayed for the music! Incredible performance and voice control!!!
Her singing makes your heart soar... the camera work makes your head spin. (And to preempt all the smart alecs out there... comments like these wear your patience thin!)
astounding control, vibrato and projection and she is only 21 and so joyous
She’s like a little bird, a nightingale… Amazing.
That little flutter in her voice at 1:13 to 1:20 is epic.
I have never in my life seen such talent. Seems like a very sweet person, as well.
Julia Lezhneva is an exceptional singer. Love her wonderful runs and resonant legato lines. Crisp articulation, the scalic passages are never rushed nor slurred; like the clear double tonguing of a flutist. Love her lightness of touch and superb Handelian energy. Bravissimo!
I like that the conductor is sitting down, doesn't overshadow her.
As soon as I heard this singer's song, I became a fan.
I was watching in awe.... like-literally! My mouth shaped in small "o" and when the video suddenly stopped because the wifi is fudging garbage!!!!!!
Well, I had to set down my phone for a minute cuz I kinda broke one of our glasses while violently throwing my arms around in frustration.😅
Огромное спасибо за эту превосходную запись этого шедевра в исполнении Юлии Лежневой! Много лет слушаю и наслаждаюсь!❤❤❤👏👏👏💐💐💐
She is really the thing that we call soprano it is. My Lord!
Listening to this lifts up my mood.
I can't stop replaying this part 1:11
She sounds like an angel. What a beautiful voice!
bravissima. ❇️
È bella voce. ✨
Tecnica è molta brava. ❤️
Lyrics:
Da tempeste il legno infranto,
se poi salvo giunge in porto,
non sa più che desiar.
Così il cor tra pene e pianto,
or che trova il suo conforto,
torna l'anima a bear.
Brava! Despite the orchestra being a bit out of synch, I am in love with this interpretation! She is my new Queen of Baroque. No one of our era can compare!
Her charm, personality and beauty are only equaled by her angelic voice!
VERYYYYYYYY NICE. IT MUST BE HARD TO SING LIKE THAT, GREAT TECHNIQUE, A LOT OF CLEVER TRICKS WITH THE VOICE.
Incredible agility for such a young singer. Staccati all in tune and the trills are beautifully done.
Beethoven once said: “Handel is the greatest and most able composer that ever lived; to him I bow one knee”
