Breathtaking! At ANY age this is a brilliant, sensitive, loving and powerful rendering of an exquisitely beautiful aria. This young lady gives me hope for the future of classical vocal music. Plus, she is a doll! I have a new live favorite voice.......sadly, my favorite of all time is no longer with us: Maria Callas. My prayers go with this young lady for sake-keeping and WISE and HONEST management.
This is the problem with competitions. You have to adhere to requirements. She could not show up to a competition with only baroque arias in 4 different languages. She sounds adorable here, but i would agree that her voice was not ready to sing that role on stage. She had, however, to sing these arias to win the competitions. She has wisely put away this repertoire the second she won and sticks to Baroque which suits her voice better. She may yet come back to this rep at some later stage. I am a huge fan!
You can hear how she has improved herself, ie, she sounded here practiced, reflecting the tutelage of her instructors to enhance the full throaty sound all opera singers e3med emcouraged to develop. But now her voice has resolved I to a much more pure and pearcing quality - the beat singer in the world, imho.
Was für eine Stimme!! Ich habe mich seit 60 Jahren mit Stimmen beschäftigt. Als nun 80 - Jähriger muss ich feststellen, solche Stimme noch nie gehört zu haben. Sie ist das Non plus Ultra des Gesanges schlechthin.
questa ragazzina è semplicemente magnifica. prima di cedere alla castrazione vocale moderna ogni giovane cantante deve fare il possibile e l'impossibile per preservare à ogni costo la bellezza divina della propria voce... una bellissima giovane voce! BRAVA !
Me llena de tristeza y desilusión ver tantas butacas vacías. Me llena de alegría y esperanza ver a la orquesta, al público presente y, sobre todo a Mademoiselle Lezhneva, cantar como solo ella sabe hacerlo: con profesionalismo y pasión.
Virignia Zeani, is my teacher...... if Im one day in contact with her, I will ask Mme if I can give Julia her number!!! But JULIA IS GREAT!!!!! BRAVA!!!
arlettesopr thanks a lot, Julia had a few teachers such like Dennis O'Neill and Yvonne Kenny. She followed masterclasses from Elena Obrazstova, Alberto Zedda, Richard Bonynge and Thomas Quasthoff.
This was never meant for a 17 year old. A pretty voice, but she wasn't ready for this at all. Didn't we all make mistakes at 17 that would make us wince today? :) Her place is definitely in baroque, heroic Italian coloratura. That really is where she shines. A clean, pretty voice that articulates well, but was never meant for "meat" (not yet anyway).
Craig Bloomfield Thanks for your reaction. This was during a competition in Saint Petersburg. She had to sing a repertoire, which the competition made. There was also baroque music in it, Julia is still singing a lot baroque music. Her voice is changed after this video of course. Please take a look at other videos. Kind regards, from the Lezhneva family!
Elim van Delft - I'm familiar with her voice as I am a fan and already was when I made that comment. That's how I stumbled upon the video. I fully appreciate the constraints of competition, but my reaction remains unchanged: it was unwise artistically and pedagogically. Fortunately, she has blossomed into the lovely baroque soprano she is today. Many other young talents have been less fortunate due to being poorly managed and guided. People must sing age-appropriate repertoire to go the distance - always. Thanks for taking the time to respond. I really appreciate the background information. 😊
Craig Bloomfield Thank you very much for your enthusiasm! We hope to see you soon as possible at one of Julia's concerts. Kind regards from the Lezhneva family
she is a fabolously talented singer. but in believe singers these days enter the stage much too young. three generations back singers spent much longer time for studies and perfecting their technique. and i agree with the other people who see her as a fabolous mezzo instead as a soprano.
Beautiful voice of truly Italian colour but please notice many of her high notes are a la Callas in 1960s-with wide,staying and unpleasant vibrato.She is too young to sing such repertoire only!I hope and wish Julia more patience and find such teacher who made her top register suitable to her not so big voice. Anyway,hope of the future,indeed!
Here she had a much better sound than today. Her voice sounded natural and well projected.
Чудесное исполнение!!!!
amazing
TOT DESTACAT. ❤
Sylvia Sass, Elena Obraztsova, Teresa Berganza, Christa Ludwig among the judges.
17 years old ,oh beautiful.Brawo Julia.
В таком возрасте такое великолепное мастерство! Радость и великое наслаждение слушать этот голос. Viva brava!

Not for her youth voice. But brava.
Farinelli ist eifersüchtig :-)

The necessities of the competition forced this on her. She won!
I am a big fan but please don’t sing this song anymore. Not good for your voice.
Слишком рано нынче начинают звездеть. Потом к 40 остаётся только флёр прошлых успехов....а ми бемоль в Травиате уже не берётся. Обойдёмся без фамилий.
Какое отношение это имеет к Юлии?
