I like her so much in this role! Cecilia has these really interesting child-like facial expressions that feel so right for the role and especially for this piece.
I ve already seen Bartoli singing this piece and I didn't like, but here she is so gorgeous, bravissima. the best singer alive, the golden voice of nowadays
One of the best versions. The cast is amazing..... too bad she didn't keep singing in the US.... the production is a bit strange but the singing is superb.
I just saw a video of Joyce Di Donato singing this song and she did a much better, cleaner job that Cecilia. I've heard that Joyce Di Donato is a coloratura mezzo soprano, but for me it feels a little hard to believe.
Grazie per la tua risposta.Totalmente di accordo con la tua definizione del belcanto! In quanto alla Bartoli trovo che la sua frenesia ed il suo impegno a volere brillare sottolineino al contrario tutte queste difficoltà di cui parli mentre dovrebbero essere impercettibili. È precisamente per questa ragione che ho qualche riserva al suo riguardo.
It would’ve been interesting if Ms. Bartoli and Ms. Horne could’ve sung together in a Rossini production. They are both experts. Perhaps, a Tancredi or Semiramide?
She is not a contralto, because she has in repertoire also soprano arias and roles like Norma, Sonnambula or Countess Adele. She is a high mezzo. If she was a contralto, she would sing Tancredi, Giulio Cesare, Rinaldo etc.
As far as I know: This aria was written by Rossini for his wife to perform - as a show-off piece. Cecilia Bartoli is not a genius, but an accomplised musician - and a ton load of charm. It is typical of her staring into the camera - which otherwise is a no-no for a performer - but notice how she has focused side glances and wants eye contact with collegues and audience - she sings as much with her eyes. As an artist, you should se her in a later production of Don Giovanni as Donna Anna as she storms back and forth on the stage in the rage of a woman whose feelings have been trifled with. She is so furious, she cannot speak. I doubt that performance can be improved upon. But yes! She always make me smile in sympathy.
The role was written for *Geltrude Righetti- Giorgi*! (She was also the first Rosina) For *Isabella Colbran* he wrote Elisabetta, La donna del Lago, Desdemona or Semiramide!!!
This is not just a show piece for Rossini's wife, who was a great soprano in his time. It is the finale of "La Cenerentola" {i.e., Cinderella} which was one of his best comic operas. Bartoli captures the great happiness that the character has found in the finale and which she is sharing with everyone. For people who comment often on her "strange facial expressions" you must remember that she is never just singing for the camera [i.e., intense closeups] but for an audience in a large opera house or concert hall. Believe me, if you are sitting in row 24 of the orchestra or in the second balcony at Scala, the Met, the Lyric in Chicago or any other large house those bigger than life expressions are well appreciated by the live audience.
Axel Zeltsch I’m the biggest Bartoli admirer but that order really depends on what criteria you used to measure. For pure speed and excitement, Bartoli wins, hands down. For technical perfection, Baltsa had anyone beat by a mile.
@Creutzfeldt Jakob Just because something is fast it doesn't follow it has to be also good, unless we're talking about the 100m sprint race. And just because you happen to find something amazing it doesn't follow it has to be good either - for all we know you might find a farting contest amazing too. How about less navel gazing and more education? You might start your education with basic logic: away from unreflective use of arguments to inquiry into argument patterns. An opera singer's rendition of an aria isn't good because you find it amazing. It's good only IF the singer respects the score and the particular style of the composer. I have yet to see machine-gun coloratura in a Rossini score.
@@creutzfeldtjakob7 , la Callas li cantava col tempo giusto. La Bartoli non sa cantare le agilita' lentamente perche' fa tutto con la gola e non potrebbe. E non paragoniamo la Callas con questa signora dal canto isterico e fastidioso e sopravvalutato.
Me da la sensación de que se empeña más en demostrar su técnica (que es extraordinaria) que en hacer una bella interpretación. Peeeeeeeeeeeero como no soy muy fan de Rossini, posiblemente me esté equivocando, así que pueden corregirme.
la coloratura a colpi di glottide può piacere o meno, ma una sua tecnica la ha, discutibile ma è presente. Il legato difettoso, la voce chioccia, le disomogeneità timbriche specie negli affondi verso il basso mi danno dopo un po' un certo fastidio. Non so quanto si possa definire cantante lirica visto il suo costante uso del microfono.
secondo me è una specie di falsettista. Con questo tipo di tecnica non puoi cantare Rossini. Furbastra anche: nei passaggi più difficili rallenta fingendo di...interpretare. Ma che c'è da interpretare nella coloratura rossiniana?🤣🤣🤣 Vederla mentre canta è impressionante e imbarazzante: chi se ne intende capisce quel che c'è da capire
Great technical ability is no compensation for artifice veiling lack of emotional identification with a role. She is beginning to verge on the grotesque at times, not helped by the advancing years, of course. Give me Lezhneva any day!
The way she filled her voice with euphoria in this scene was absolutely magical! Bravissima! I love this production; the whole cast was fantastic.
Una técnica única y un virtuosismo descomunal. Grande Cecilia !!
Grandissima Cecilia che canta, l' immenso, immortale, insuperabile Rossini
Bartoli and Rossini born for each other
Ms. Bartoli's virtuosity knows no bounds.
It's like she was born just to show the world that this song can be sung to perfection. She was born to play Cinderella.
Sin Duda Alguna Una GRAN MEZZOSOPRANO!!!! HERMOSA INTERPRETACIÓN !!!!❤❤❤
This was the very first time I watched and heard this opera and it was with her.. seriously.. many talented mezzos out there but no one can beat her..
Huguette Tourangeau could easily beat her
@@WelshHomo87 you are a crazy organist indeed..... HT is wonderful of course , but why degrade this incredible talent??? You are ridiculous
Bertolucci is the Queen!
Her accuracy is unbeatable...
I like her so much in this role! Cecilia has these really interesting child-like facial expressions that feel so right for the role and especially for this piece.
Magnifica!
perfect.
Rossini-Bartolli, una pareja magnífica.
You can tell how much work she's put in her vocal top between even this performance and her 1997 Met Rendition! Still very good here, of course.
Bravo, bravissimo
You must be crazy! This is pure magic!
I ve already seen Bartoli singing this piece and I didn't like, but here she is so gorgeous, bravissima. the best singer alive, the golden voice of nowadays
Bartoli is a genius. Her coloraturas make me fly so high....
Excelente, charming and singing with joy.
Bravissima Cecilia!!! 😍😍😍💖💖💖
La migliore!!
One of the best versions. The cast is amazing..... too bad she didn't keep singing in the US.... the production is a bit strange but the singing is superb.
The queen of mezzo coloratura

Quelle voix et quelle performance !
Simplemente hermoso, majestuoso, bellisimo!!!!
fabulous good tempi
Cecilia sos la mejorrrrr!!
Magnífico Rossini
Dueña absoluta de este rondo :o)

io ho avuto l'onore di ascoltare al teatro comunale di Modena tanto anni fa Lucia Valentini Terrani...altra classe!
Anche io ricordo Terrani ...... a Moscow, Bolshoi, molti Anni fa......stupende!
Wow...........👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Bravissima!
elle est magnifique.
Une machine a cracher
BRAVOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Mezzo coloratura Cecilia Bartoli displays her vocal agility as La Cenerentola by Rossini.
Una mezza gallina...specie nel finale...
happy Birthday Cecilia Bartoli!!!!
Happy Birthday Cecilia...
puro control. la ultima gran diva
I'm not much into Romantics (it's no Baroque), but rather like this piece. I don't know whether it's more Rossini's - or Bartoli's - attribution.
LeoInterHyenaem Bartoli is made for Rossini and vice versa!
@@kngiht84 Rossini would kill himself if he heard this sort of mockery of his music.
@@Daniela-pr7rz Pretty impressive of you to know what Rossini would have liked!
@@kngiht84 just common sense.
Just PHENOMENAL
Anyone else notice their jaw drop while watching this ?
Eccezionale
me too, also Von Stade and DiDonato
che brava!
I was the 100th like! ;)
Она видела свое лицо? Исполняет , конечно, прекрасно.
Это же волшебная ЧЕЧИЛИЯ❤❤❤❤

Interessante e diferente. Mas duas versões que mais gostei dessa opera é a de Frederica von Stade e a da Ketevan Kemoklidze
Lovely ! Who is the composer ?
GERARD COHEN Rossini :)
Me. I wrote it. I'm quite proud of it, though by the time I composed "Wozzeck" my style had evolved quite a bit.
@@gwinters Yes but my favorite piece of yours is still "Oops I did it again".
She is not a contralto, because she has in repertoire also soprano arias and roles like Norma, Sonnambula or Countess Adele. She is a high mezzo. If she was a contralto, she would sing Tancredi, Giulio Cesare, Rinaldo etc.
Anyone here from The Devil in Me?

1st Cecilia Bartoli
2nd Agnes Baltsa

Wie ein gackerndes Huhn!
Hi,wath you there saying,that´s nonsense !!! Callas is amazingly in this role--
@wickedphantom24601 pff..overrated...my ass!!
AVERI VOLUTO ESSERE AL POSTO DI GIMENZ
A machine-gun gone hysterical....oh,God!
callas777 i think it is really amazing, just because callas cant sing it this fast doesnt mean its not good
@Creutzfeldt Jakob Just because something is fast it doesn't follow it has to be also good, unless we're talking about the 100m sprint race.

@@Saavedra99 well said. Personally, I find Bartoli unlistenable, I wouldn't buy a ticket to her performance unless I was in a mood for a freak show.
E' orribile.

Her mimics is terrible. But her singing is perfect.
si puo' discutere il gusto ma...non la bravura

me parece insoportable !!!
Insoportablemente hermosa.
Sicuro che non hai dimenticato niente ? Secondo me il bel canto necessita meno isteria e più spontaneità ! Questione di gusto forse ?
Horrible.
Un gallinaccio. A volte un tacchino
🤣🤣🤣🤣👍
Disrespects the composer by hijacking the music to show off her unvocal tricks

@@serpinapergolesi461Conchita Supervia was superb in Rossini, and she achieved that high level using a similar technique to the one in this video.
