WOW! I'm not big into opera, but lately I've been getting into Renee Fleming and Joyce DiDonato; they're both fantastic, and humble, gracious people too. I also kind of love that they're American women from middle-class backgrounds.
Michael Craig I think her remark is reasonable. Concert versions don’t always “come off”. This one does! But “nothing short of historic? What’s historic about it? Let’s not exaggerate.
j'aime particulièrement ces deux cantatrices, mais si j'ai eu le bonheur de les voir et les entendre, seules, j'apprécie ce duo qui marie si bien leurs superbes voix
This seems to be a match made in a Mozartian heaven. Both singers have a perfect understanding of Mozart's style and the perfect vocal quality for their roles.
Fantastic. Thank goodness the sound was better than the blurry visuals. But the acting talent came through the fog successfully. What fun , what a joy! Great combination of beautiful voices.
Gorgeous! What an amazing performance. Their voices are just heavenly together. I know I am in love when there are chills and when I find myself yelling out,” yes, Joyce...yes!” numerous times throughout lol
You don't hear Fleming do that much Mozart, whereas Joyce is the heir to Fredrica Von Stade when it comes to Mozart. I love Fleming's lush interpretation and the way she, as Fiordiligi, takes herself so seriously. She's the deep one and then Joyce is the sassy Dorabella ready to fling herself into this new adventure. They are the perfect contrast to each other, just like sisters often are.... I admit I love Kiri Te Kanawa and Von Stade the best, but these two give us a real treat!

+Rosa Frank Joyce actually talks about this in another clip of her singing Una voce poco fa from the same event. She was flown in from Switzerland the morning of the gala to replace another singer (Susan Graham I think, actually) who had dropped out last minute. It's likely that they only had an hour, if that, to rehearse together before performing.
A marvelous performance, Sound is good, but this upload is spoiled by such poor quality video. Does anyone have a good version, I would love to see this again if it is produced somewhere nearer to HD. I use a modest size screen ~19 inch but this 144p definition is just not up to scratch at any size,.
I think I like both RF and JDD here better than I have heard either of them solo. If it were a competition I would choose JDD. I have never cared much for RF's tone or scooping, though here seems much better than normal.
Watching their masterclasses, it's not hard to see how critical Joyce is of Renee's technique. The scooping, ingolata, interpretation ... Joyce would have none of it.
Love them both. However, RF has more style and elegance, without herself being great at picking dresses, anyway (...) But look at DD: HORRENDOUS DRESS! She succumbed to the temptation of an asymmetric collar, chose a dull color that does not do anything for her figure, complexion or inherent style, only placing emphasis on an overall disheveled look. What, she wanted to give the opera a more democratic look? Pleeeeease...
+bltcrunchy who are you to tell me or anyone what to do? Are you so stupid you don't get the protocol of commenting on a TH-cam video? Write your comment without replying to anyone else's if you disagree. You are an imbecile and surely a simpleton.
All your criticisms of DiDonato apply equally to Fleming. Both dresses have asymmetrical collars, and they both look disheveled, possibly Fleming the more so. Yet your attack was delivered against DiDonato only. Do you have a personal animus against this woman? If so, keep it to yourself: the rest of us came here to enjoy the music, not to read the rantings of a fashion critic.
Yeah, was going to say. They both could look better, but so what? They sound like absolute angels. I don't care what they look like. !! Love these voices!!

My three heroes : Fleming, DiDonato and Mozart ... magnificent....
Only Mozart can make women's gossip this beautiful :)
WOW! I'm not big into opera, but lately I've been getting into Renee Fleming and Joyce DiDonato; they're both fantastic, and humble, gracious people too. I also kind of love that they're American women from middle-class backgrounds.
Yes! They both seem so chill and down to earth 😊
Not a bad place to start
' I think we pulled it off'. What an understatement - this is nothing short of historic!
Precisely - so humble! :)
Michael Craig I think her remark is reasonable. Concert versions don’t always “come off”. This one does! But “nothing short of historic? What’s historic about it? Let’s not exaggerate.
@@mckavitt13 well, these two are two of the greatest voices of their time and they are seldomly heard together. This is historic.
@@albertbauli These two... and they are seldom. Your opinion.
@@mckavitt13 Offcourse it is my opinion. Also, "seldomly" is correct. If you are so arrogant as to correct other's spelling, at least do it right.
When these two sing together, I hear liquid gold!

Oh what harmony of those two marvelous voices! As was said before - what a shame they don't perform together more often.
BiBaBo49 well said !
BiBaBo49 Why don’t they? Do you know?
I would guess they have too many other commitments!
Così fan tutte è un tesoro di pezzi per la combinazione soprano-mezzosoprano
Gorgeous! What an amazing performance. Their voices are just heavenly together. I know I am in love when there are chills and when I find myself yelling out,” yes, Joyce...yes!” numerous times throughout lol
What fun! The sheer enjoyment is so engaging. And the voices, their instruments, so strong, so sweet and agile. A joy from beginning to end.
Mozarts best with these voices are together in perfection unison all geniuses Thank you for a miracle of beauty.
For Australian fans of Ms DiDonato, she is performing in Australia in Nov 2025. Cannot wait to be in the audience.
Absolutely fabulous! I can’t stop listening! Congratulations!
Yes Ladies...Fantastico!!! You brought tears streaming down my cheeks with joy!!!! So beautiful indeed!! God Bless you both!!

Fleming used to sing more Mozart - she retired the Countess from her rep ages ago, I guess.
Супер голоси. І надзвичайно красиві жінки. Великі таланти.
Wonderful. A Mezzo and a Soprano . World class.
Wonderful!!

Do wild birds have dresses? Or do they SING? AL ARTISTs UNITE, Jan. 2017
Fantastiche
Love it! Wish the image were clearer & that the synch were synched. But these two ladies are adorable & erotic & VERY TALENTED.
Why is the image blurry? detracts from the performance.

How come she says, "I think we pulled it off," at the beginning? Was it last-minute or something?
+Rosa Frank Joyce actually talks about this in another clip of her singing Una voce poco fa from the same event. She was flown in from Switzerland the morning of the gala to replace another singer (Susan Graham I think, actually) who had dropped out last minute. It's likely that they only had an hour, if that, to rehearse together before performing.
+Kaitlyn Clem If that's true it makes this already phenomenal performance even better! Their synchronicity amazes me!
Yes
A marvelous performance, Sound is good, but this upload is spoiled by such poor quality video. Does anyone have a good version, I would love to see this again if it is produced somewhere nearer to HD. I use a modest size screen ~19 inch but this 144p definition is just not up to scratch at any size,.
Супер!!!С точки зрения ансамбля -фантастика!Трудно представить более совершенное и слитное исполнение.
👏👏👏❤️😍
Brava moltissimo
renee fleming ahs so much poise!!
Bliss!
Waiting for the DiDonato bashers to show up and talk about her high larynx and lack of chest voice...
is there a better quality version on youtube somewhere?
No. Not that I know of. I tried to get the best version possible.
Блистательно!
Is there a Hidef version anywhere!!!
I tried to look all over for a louder one and I couldn't find one.
but if your can you can download the video and use an app like Imovie and make it louder, that's what I do.
Клас
Joyce sounds like Soprano here than Fleming 🤣🤣🤣
Interesting. I thought she was originally when I first got into classical music. Lml.
Nathalia Torres That does not bode well. 😕
Warum Amerikanischen Sänger singen immer mit starken Ausatmen Geräusch?
If you like the new way of singing, this is fantastic. If You like the original, this is not so good.
Aurrgh!! The video and sound are not in synch!
There is nothing this beautiful in all of Islam.
I think I like both RF and JDD here better than I have heard either of them solo. If it were a competition I would choose JDD. I have never cared much for RF's tone or scooping, though here seems much better than normal.
well, joyce sounds more like a soprano than Fleming...
I thought the same thing
Fleming has a heavier tone than Didonato, but has a bigger range. Renee can get up there.
Come on ! Human Voices were born to like this !
Vocal weight and color ≠ range...
Sure. Great. But if you want more perfection, watch Susanna Phillips and Isabel Leonard.
Watching their masterclasses, it's not hard to see how critical Joyce is of Renee's technique. The scooping, ingolata, interpretation ... Joyce would have none of it.
Pero qué jodidamente cursi es Fleming.
¿Se puede ser más cursi que Fleming y más hortera que Di Donato?
I puked listening to this
Maybe go see a doctor then as it can’t have anything to do with their performance.
🤪
Most opera queens puke when listening to proper singing as opposed to camp has-beens screaming their way through a role, trying to be "dramatic".
Love them both. However, RF has more style and elegance, without herself being great at picking dresses, anyway (...) But look at DD: HORRENDOUS DRESS! She succumbed to the temptation of an asymmetric collar, chose a dull color that does not do anything for her figure, complexion or inherent style, only placing emphasis on an overall disheveled look. What, she wanted to give the opera a more democratic look? Pleeeeease...
I don't agree. They both look beautiful. A reflection of their beautiful voices. And leave politics out of it.
+bltcrunchy who are you to tell me or anyone what to do? Are you so stupid you don't get the protocol of commenting on a TH-cam video? Write your comment without replying to anyone else's if you disagree. You are an imbecile and surely a simpleton.
Yes and why not, according to good American tradition, throw god in as well.....
All your criticisms of DiDonato apply equally to Fleming. Both dresses have asymmetrical collars, and they both look disheveled, possibly Fleming the more so.
