GOD DAMN i admire how still she is even when singing the crazy shit....no tension at all. just stillness... a relaxed mind and a relaxed throat, and a relaxed sound. astounding.
I had the honor to see her perform this role in 1977 in Munich. After this aria. the ovation lasted for several minutes until she appeared embarrassed for causing such a long interruption.
If ever someone used their body as a conduit, Edita fits the bill, amazing. That voice just pours... she is using all of her body without straining any muscle, pure mastery.
Nagyszerü! Großartig! Und genau dieses höchste Niveau hat sie in ihrem Lebenswerk stets behalten! Und wie viel harte Arbeit hinter dieser Leichtigkeit steckt - aber das sieht man und hört man nie! Csodálatos müvészet!
nailed it XD(who sticks out her tongue to sing the high F's) I almost died from your comment XD although she was fine in this aria but not satisfying to see her tongue XD
+Khalid Al-Thani This, along with Zerbinetta are her best roles. When she started attacking Donizetti's Queens is when I can't no longer listen to her. And she had her great years. Now, she is unlistenable.
Vette gaddia I believe her voice was not made for Italian opera at all, she never maintained smooth legato line, she never had a precise trill, never had solid high notes (although they are effortless but scooped) her chest notes are the most awful they are like yawning. Zerbinetta is the only role i like her in.
***** Mr. Rishoi, I remember you from OPERA-L - you often made very fine and intelligent comments on various singers. Let's stick to the facts instead of insulting each other - that makes for a much more constructive debate from which everyone can benefit :)
Lucia at Lyric was my first opera as a nine year old with Sutherland. Since that time I have been in love with the opera. I also heard the one in 1970 with deutekom and Tucker.. Those were the days. I also taped highlights of the Gruberova/ Shicoff performance and have returned to it many times over the years. It remains a favorite.
I tool heard her Lucia in Chicago in 1986. They were tremeondous performances. The role was doulble cast (with June Anderson, who was adequate, to be gracious). I recall a critic who complaned that Miss Gruberova broke character to accept the ovation from the audience! Miss Gruberova never appeared At Lyric opera again. A great loss. Lyric did Lucia last year, and I felt as though I was hearing singing from a good music conservatory Lucia. How far we have gone from greatness in Chicago.
HOLY SHIT!!!!!! :O :O :O ive always loved Gruberova, but i'd never seen her sing it this young, amaaaaazing! and she just stood there, like there was no effort involved for her at all!! FANTASTISCH!
Edita is demonstrating only her wonderful vocal skill in a bare studio with just a pianist, cameraman and sound engineer for company. In such a setting it would be inappropriate and distracting if she made hand gestures and tried to fabricate emotion. She has shown a thousand times that she knows perfectly well how to present herself on the concert or oratorio platform or in costume in a packed theatre. She is the real thing and has been a terrific performer for so long.
surely to be certain that the tongue is out of the way at the back so it won't interfere with the sound of the high note coming out of the vocal chords
skeleton No, I don’t sing but I do have good enough ears to tell the good singers apart from the mediocre ones. Ms. Gruberova wound up singing in Seiji Ozawa’s version of Carmina Burana with the Berliner Orchestra, one of the most authoritative versions imho
@@ruben1million Sorry I sing as well and maybe its easy for her to this but this is not authoritave sound. Its weak and shrill. She's a great artist though.
Eine butterweiche Stimme trotz der hohen Töne. Wer es schafft die Königin der Nacht nicht wie eine quietschenden Hupe klingen zu lassen, ist eine außerordentlich begabte Künstlerin!!!! Bei anderen Interpretinnen Blüten einem mitunter die Ohren.
She is definitely in her early days-the tight-fisted left hand, the jutting of the tongue on the high note. Sooooo serious, too. She matured into a wonderful artist, relaxed and at ease with herself. Love her.
He basically just says in German that Edita Gruberova appeared for the first time at the Vienna State Opera in 1971, and that she can see her back in the day how she looked and sounded. Here she is, Edita Gruberova.
Never been a big fan of her timbre, but it has it’s place in the repertoire and shows vocal chords of steel. Formidable performance for anyone, particularly a very young woman.
RIP beautiful Edita! So many years of listening pleasure for so many of us.
🥺🙇🏻

Charlie Kim The best way to be.

She was so young and still learning. Little did she know she would have an amazing career!

Incredible ping in this perfectly placed voice, so that it's just there, at age 24....fabulous!
She was learning to be a coloratura soprano...Brava!!!
Yes.sie.waren sehr gut!
Nagyszerü! Großartig! Und genau dieses höchste Niveau hat sie in ihrem Lebenswerk stets behalten! Und wie viel harte Arbeit hinter dieser Leichtigkeit steckt - aber das sieht man und hört man nie! Csodálatos müvészet!
how wonderful! I especially like when she sings the high note and pokes her tongue out slightly :-)
She looks so fresh and strong - it looks so easy to sing the Queen :). Super Queen she is!
Der blanke Wahnsinn, noch so jung und was für eine Stimme!
Playing on 25% speed is kinda creepy
Wow... 40 years singing at the highest level... incredible Edita! She is the best! :) IMPRESSING!! Thanks for the video!
Her voice is so sweet, like honey to my ears.
Edita Gruberova... unas facultades únicas ya de jovencita!!!. Para mí la mejor soprano!!!
This may just be the most satisfying performance of this aria I've ever heard!
Ну вы Нежданову не слышали.
A Queen of the Night in mini skirt, who sticks out her tongue to sing the high F's - this is an amazing clip :D

Edita you will always be a star. I listen to you every day and you will never be forgotten. RIP
dear one
This is absolutely effortless....amazing!
An amazing illusion of effortlessness. Brava!
das beste was ich je gehört liebe Edita ❤❤❤ RIP
She gave us Joy for half a century.
So young here! She's the cutest.
what a crystal bell voice!! Even if still a bit "green" in her interpretation, she was AMAZING here!
She is one of the few who sings all notes clearly note per note emphasized

I made the mistake of clicking on this video, and every piece of glass in my house shattered!
What a sweet voice, love her!!!

Perfect and fantastic.
彼女の日本デビューは確かナクソス島のツェルビネッタだったと記憶してます‼️劇場で聴いて腰が抜けるほど👀‼️驚きました‼️驚愕のソプラノに唖然としました‼️その後どう言う訳か米良良一とバロックや宗教曲のCDを幾つか出していて驚きました‼️米良の絶頂期でしょうね🎵兎に角名歌手👩🎤ですね🎵ブラボー🎵
HOLY SHIT!!!!!! :O :O :O ive always loved Gruberova, but i'd never seen her sing it this young, amaaaaazing! and she just stood there, like there was no effort involved for her at all!! FANTASTISCH!
😮😮😮 I love her! What a Singer 😮 amazing technique 😻
Unglaublich schön.
Was für eine wunderbare Dame!
Sympathisch und warmherzig.
🥰🌹
love the trios, so precise

Edita, my love... she´s a teenager !!
It says she's 25 here but she sure looks younger than that...!
Excellently! I hear this execution for the first time and in the vocal plan I consider its ideal. And outwardly too very much impresses. Bravo!!!
Вот это голосок! Почти идеально. А может даже идеально
So beautiful and has a voice like that!!!
Beautiful singing ! Thank you for posting :)
Weltklasse
So young abd already perfect technique!!!!
Жаль... Я слишком поздно услышал на Ютубе. Таланты уходят, а кто остаётся
Plenty of other talents.
the way she is and lived those times plus the way she was trained, bel canto, and her acting skills were better when she got older.
her voice is so clear
Genuss pur!
Gerade, WEIL sie so unbeeindruckt und entspannt singt.
"Connoisseurs of vocal art" in the comments are fascinated by her tongue and knees.
*Bravo, Edita🌹 !* Even they were satisfied
surely to be certain that the tongue is out of the way at the back so it won't interfere with the sound of the high note coming out of the vocal chords
I like sarcasm
The best EVER interpretation of this Aria.
Example of good vocal technique, so young. Brava!
the best coloratura
The best version
Gruberova is actually daughter of a Hungarian mother and a German father and was born and raised in former Tchecoslovakya...
Thank you for letting us know!
She was born and lived in Bratislava, the Capital of Slovakia (CzechoSlovakia) by the way
Thank you very much for sharing this treasure!
What a beatiful women what a amazing voice and naturally Mozart.
An absolute natural! Stunning!
LOVE seeing these old videos!!!
Bravo! One of my favorites since high school
maravilhoso!
Wow! She was amazing! Wonderful soprano!
Excelente interpretacion.. muy buena tecnica.. ahi se ve la alta escuela y el alto desempeño que posee.
She makes it look easy. Amazing.
Cette version est très originale ! Elle a du coffre ! J’adore ❤️
Wow full of energy....no of the dozens of energy drinks is able to give so much energy like our slovak nightingale Edita. Vela zdravia a uspechov!
Very rarely we do get to hear a coloratura soprano singing with such ease and authority. She's a natural. All the others just try too hard.

Oh, dear God! Beautiful! I love when she gets her tongue out! :3
😀😀😀
Für mich tatsächlich die Königin der Koloratur. Sie hatte eine so phänomenale, wunderbare und warme Stimme! Unglaublich schön!
Awesome! Thank you!!
Fun really fun super light and happiest I have heard this sung lovely as smiles, can be.

maravillosa y excelsa a sus 17 años !!!!!
adesso canta meglio....
ahahahahahahah !
Marabillosa vos que nitidez waoooooo y
25 anni aveva qui, no 17.

I believe she’s just 25 here
@@rosalie6468 Actually she's 24, unless this was filmed in the final week of December
THIS LADY IS INCREDIBLE
Her notes are so clear!
Hermosísimo su lirismo de coloratura
excelente Edita...la mejor soprano de coloratura!
Genial
Эдита- лучшая Царица ночи!
In Deutschland zum Beispiel Edda Moser - (total dramatisch koloratur sopran)

Her fast notes are clearer than anyone else's (as far as I recall).
WOW!!!
Bravissimo, großartige Edita Gruberova!
Wow. What a voice!
Edita Gruberova -The best opera singer.R.I.P.

great job by the accompanist too
Eine zeitlose, bescheidene Diva. Danke ORF!
Mit gleißenden Tönen eine absolut gültige Queen !!!!!

Fantastisch!
Ya, its a singing technique to get everything out of the way so that the sound comes out easier and uninhibited.
Ganz wunderbar! Die Gruberova macht es so einfach aussehen!
Браво блестяще спела

Wunderbar unfassbar!
Ausgezeichnet!
Vero genuino magnifico soprano di coloratura. Allora. Poi... con gli anni... la notte!
@edgarbiervliet
I was mistaken: it was in 1974 (!).
The label is Arkadia
