She is a marvelous singer (and beautiful too) and the orchestra is great. The public, I'm afraid, is dead...would she had sang this in my country, we would had jumped from our seats and made a thunderous standing ovation until the theater goes down in pieces...
I literally peed my pants!!!!!!! The orchestra and the singer are in such tune of mood..incredible. Some Mozart experts might disagree with this performance.... I think it's hair raising!!!!!!!!!
If someone who claims to be an expert on Mozart disagrees with this interpretation, then dear person, you can be sure: this person doesn't even understand opera, much less understand Mozart...
This is a performance where all the important elements miraculously align... unforgettable. I haven't seen Idomeneo on stage, but this concert performance of an excerpt is far more moving than anything one can expect in a staged version.
Wow, the video captures her voice in a more ample, resounding way that makes her wide vibrato sound more organic with the rest of the voice (sometimes the recordings emphasize it too much), and her dark, dramatic and very peculiar timbre sounds more beautiful than ever. She's a great soprano and must have very strong vocal chords, because she's singing heavy roles since her early 20's and still sings amazingly.
Brava, Pendatchanska !!! The most true rendering of this aria I ever heard. After La Callas the most interesting singer, by singing Roberto Devereux she should have been world famous.
I was theeeeere in Pleyel !! My god, i was totally thrilled by this injured and furious woman! A miracle to see that performance again. thanks so much for posting !!!
I would have loved to have been in that hall as this was sung. I get goose pimples through a speaker, in person would have been far more intense. Bravo.
@@ClassicalSoundIdeal The thing about Marlis Petersen is that she led an interesting career. Starting off as a lyric coloratura soprano then heading to slightly more dramatic coloratura soprano roles and nowadays doing these spinto soprano roles, even though her voice does not necessarily have the size of Renata Tebaldi or Maria Callas. Perhaps, the one facet about Marlis Petersen that is still worth rooting for is her unparalleled abilities as an actress who does convey the music and the text to the best of everything she bears.
@@operaanimelover369 my point exactly. And, that voice categorization was not important, not to say unknown in Mozart's time, let alone volume which is tied to orchestra and hall size.
La voix a perdu une partie de son unité (faiblesse du bas medium) et semble plafonner mais l'engagement rattrape tout ou partie et ce genre de personnage convient au tempérament de feu de cette cantatrice rare.
@gman20101 Who cares about vibrato when this is so effective, conveying the message, involving the listener. I prefer this so much more to sterile soulless singers.
2:49-51 ridiculous Her technique of bulging out her voice keeps her from doing legato (cf. her Roberto Devereux) / staccato (2:49-51). She will either destroy her voice or have her voice super duper darkened. Don't just tell me off / give thumbs down coz you're her fan. If you wanna challenge me, give evidence.
Great talent but she makes no justice as to Mozart's style. Why did she change the line at 2:49 ? That's not what Mozart wrote. I believe she is shouting what should be a more sublte cry of desperation with a more elegant tone. I like it though.
1987? Which? Gimme the link. "Now let's see you do the aria the way it's supposed to." Your logic is flawed; this is called appeal to hypocrisy. Mind you, even if I couldn't sing this aria, this would not automatically render my claim false. How is the aria supposed to be sung? Atm, I can think of better interpretations by Sutherland and Gruberova. Period. Btw, happy 2013 :)
This voice is a technical disaster area. Just look at the tension in the jaw. Vocal line wobbling all over the place. Ridiculous, screechy interpolated notes. Awful diction.
such a disaster that at age 46 she already has almost 30 years of top flight dates and performances behind her and a full roster of others coming up. I know it looks odd..but it works for her...she still has pianissimi and range and facility...maybe wise to be less speedy to judge. What did she ever do to you
She sings since more than 27 years. If her technique was so bad as you say, she should have already lost her voice. I think she's a force of nature. Amazing!
Pendatchanska has sung, with a very high level of accomplishment, some of the most difficult roles written (Queen of the Night, Esclarmonde, Semiramide, the Devereux Elisabetta). She sings in Paris' best venues pretty much on a yearly basis. A "Major Opera House" can't gamble on someone so idiosyncratic, I guess. But anyway, I suggest you simply open your ears instead of going on bashing, and with some quite debatable arguments at that (her diction, for one thing, being absolutely perfect.) That the voice sounds strained, it does indeed. But as people have already told you, this has been pretty much the way she has sounded since she was 19 years old, and she's been going steady right up till today, and she's 46 now.
Bosie Wilder I disagree with you. She sounds comfortable, which is really the goal; comfort and clarity. I think the “tension” you’re talking about is a character choice, not something she’s using to support her voice. Keep in mind this song is a decent into madness. It’s Mozart, but it’s still meant to be jarring and unsettling. Maybe it’s not for you, but I don’t think it’s fair to attack her technique.

Excellent !😊
What I always admire the most about her is the way she performs... Brava!
Best version ever!!!!!
She is so scary...amazing.
:)
brava brava brava !!!!!!!!! une qualité de voix extraordinaire!!!

Pendantchanska is clearly the best! Lightyears from the others.
Lucky me - I was sitting on the 3-rd row at that concert in Paris..
Extremely excitingly conducted and sung. Whole new dimension hearing Jacobs conduct it like this
First time ever this Aria made me cry.... SHE IS ELETTRA. The fury, the pain, the fear, the dead.... everything. Gosh.... Unbelievable!!!!
One of the most Mozart 's aria for soprano.... amazing Voice ❤
I was theeeeere in Pleyel !! My god, i was totally thrilled by this injured and furious woman!
A miracle to see that performance again. thanks so much for posting !!!
Written at 24 years old... incredible.
Essa mulher é incrível!!!!!!
This is the most interesting / exiting Singer of our time !
Am I dreaming or is this lady great. Thanks for posting.
I would have loved to have been in that hall as this was sung. I get goose pimples through a speaker, in person would have been far more intense. Bravo.
amazing and wonderful!! thanks for posting
Such a great voice!!!
OMFG WHO IS THIS GODDESS????? * . *
genius the best Elettra, and her look is amazing
Wonderful Pendatchanska
Amazing!!!!!!!
Brava!!
Holy crap~! GO PENDATCHANSKA~! BRAVA
Exciting as hell!!!!!!
What a magnificent spitfire!
Beautiful!!!
Stunning!
What a voice, it sounds like a thunder!
Bravissima!
Definitely the new Callas. Bravaaaaa.
She. Has a great voice.
Great singing too.
Oh, you're the Gruberova and Sutherland fan. That's right. Okay, now I get it.
@Cissy97 Is this a joke? Netrebko is nothing compared to Alexandrina. She is only a media product, not an artist.
BRILLIANT!
@operamusicfan BRAVO D ACCORDO!!!
Exactly what I guess Mozart wanted, don't you think?
Indeed!
My educated guess would be that Mozart would have gone for Marlis Petersen.
@@ClassicalSoundIdeal The thing about Marlis Petersen is that she led an interesting career.

What is an educated guess? 🙄
Many educated people know nothing about voices…
oh ok, I know which video you're talking about :)
Oh and of course Edda Moser gives the BEST version
@amargosote Well then, listen to her instead and let other enjoy this performance.

Brava!!!!! Samo da opravite zvuka, che mnogo premodulira:)
@-----%----
You said the same thing on a video from 1987. She's doing okay. Now let's see you do the aria the way it's supposed to.
How do you know?
@gman20101 Who cares about vibrato when this is so effective, conveying the message, involving the listener. I prefer this so much more to sterile soulless singers.
Kak Sam izdarjala na repeticiite a te diaha 3pati sutrin i3sled obed a az biah Edna celuvam te Jiji Varta
in the hist of mankind
He assumes that Mozart didn't have his head stuck in his ass like some critics here.
Bad recording...😢😢..but increíble voice
she resembles Stephanie Swift
No excuse for fudging the coloratura at the end - none.
2:49-51 ridiculous
Her technique of bulging out her voice keeps her from doing legato (cf. her Roberto Devereux) / staccato (2:49-51). She will either destroy her voice or have her voice super duper darkened. Don't just tell me off / give thumbs down coz you're her fan. If you wanna challenge me, give evidence.
Your opinion is in the minority.
Great talent but she makes no justice as to Mozart's style. Why did she change the line at 2:49 ? That's not what Mozart wrote. I believe she is shouting what should be a more sublte cry of desperation with a more elegant tone. I like it though.
It is actually great...MOZART would love it...LOL
I dont know if mozart would have liked it; I do know that he wrote" I cant stand vibrato. It is a horrible habit and truly against music's nature".
She has actually almost no vibrato. It's a very fast one but she's got a dark metallic timbre with lots of squillo.
@@draganvidic2039 It's an awful vibrato caused by throat and jaw tension.
Bosie Wilder Maybe but she’s been around for long singing a very wide range of roles and have no plans to stop. Regardless of what you think.
What then who can.
Whatever you say, Gruberova is still a legend in the mankind of history. Bye ;)
1987? Which? Gimme the link.
"Now let's see you do the aria the way it's supposed to." Your logic is flawed; this is called appeal to hypocrisy. Mind you, even if I couldn't sing this aria, this would not automatically render my claim false.

Btw, happy 2013 :)
This is poor logic. Or try Edda Moser, who's da best. In any case, Pendatchanska cannot sing this aria.
Again, 2:48-50 is just ridiculous. Period.
Totally agree. It sounds ridiculous.
2:48-50 is just ridiculous.

Well, we all know there's a huge market for bad taste but I don't see any of the world's major opera houses clamouring for her.
She sings since more than 27 years. If her technique was so bad as you say, she should have already lost her voice.
