She IS Carmen! I'm a mezzosoprano and I decided to study opera at 8, whe I first heard her singing Carmen... (I'll never be that good, she's kinda my goddes)
Dear, for that person saying she was bad because she sings in chest voice, well, you can't be a fucking mezzo without chest voice, for me most modern mezzo are never much of a mezzo for never using their chest voice. This is a great example of a what mezzo is supposed to be
Baltsa was a falcon, not properly a mezzo. I love her chest voice, even that she over uses it even in a high register, but she can do it!!!! Not every mezzo can do this, that does not mean is not a mezzo. The chest voice is big issue to discuss.
Fenomenala CARMEN, o mezzosoprana uimitoare, cu un temperament debordant cu o plastica a miscarii foarte fireasca cu o tehnica de cint impecabila...FELICITARI!!!

Legend says that there were elegant viennese ladies among the audience, who, during the interval, in their long dresses and jewels, were trying to imitate Agnes Baltsa with her tambourine! Such a strong was the impression of her performance!
Real bei canto scares people...a Problem of out modern time where it is modern to fake voices smaller as they are! What you call belting is right idea of operasinging of the 20th century and is the only way to sing above the hole orchestra while playing forte...use your mind a bit before you start talking about things you have no idea! You are only allowed to say you like it or not because its a sjective opinion. It means not good or bad in any professional critic!
so you do not know a lot I guess. Of course todays Carmens are worse but in earlier times there were much better ones. I did see her as Carmen, I did not like her acting, and yet less her looking and personality, I was not able to understand Don Jose.
Actually this is the beginning of act 2. The entracte to act 2 comes before, its a slow flute melody. Nice voice but poor pronunciation and she should leave the tambourine playing to the musicians...
Thomas Pearce The tambourine was not meant to add to the music, but to her act. She is singing about the joys of the free gypsy life. This is like her celebratory song- she’s dancing and playing the tambourine for the joyful, rowdy act. I’m not fluent in French, so I can’t say much about the accent.

contraltissima that's your poor opinion. I thought she was a very good Carmen she looked the part and she sang the part as many others would agree with me. Of course you're entitled to your opinion carry on. Rapper loving aficionado sincerely Arnold Bourbon Amaral who would you prefer in this role besides Risa Stevens?
@@arnoldamaral7406 its a difficult role for sopranos, as she is without any doubt. All together she is quite ok, contraltissima is talking from the vocal point of view I guess. I prefer Berganza, Rachvelishvili, Leontyne Price, all the more refined singing and acting ones. Carmen is not a hore, she is a very sexy and independent women. I realy also can't listen to the belting of Baltsa. I don't like her entire personality, she is just not a nice person. In my eyes she has no feminin sensuality, Listen to Rachvelishvili, she is incredible feminin and sexy. Vocally.
@@vitabella6481 notice that Rachvelishvili sings the role with a microphone stuck on her mouth, it's much easier to color the voice with whatever you want if you don't have to project your voice over an orchestra, it makes it easier for people not accustomed to opera to discern the emotion when these singers "sing" with almost a talking volume and manerisms, some even whisper in an attempt to add what I suppose they think it's realism... If you care about opera and listen to older singers you'll notice heavier affectations, might call it overacting, but that's the effective way to convey emotion with a big voice.
vita bella Her voice is horrible.Sorry her Amneris was so bad we left after she's suppose to shine with Radames trial scene.We left after she butchered that scene so badly. That was enough for us.
heikization exactly.... those who idolize those singers have never heard anyone live lol... they dont know how opera should sound 🤣... for me baltsa sounds so free and exciting...
This is the warmest & most radiant Mezzo voice I have ever heard . Can there be a more perfect Carmen !
She IS Carmen! I'm a mezzosoprano and I decided to study opera at 8, whe I first heard her singing Carmen... (I'll never be that good, she's kinda my goddes)
Well but since you have been following a good example i can say probably you are an amazing mezzo too
Realmente es una Diosa
Felicitaciones!!!
Learn from the very best, then become your own original artiste.
Good luck.

mrturtle1128 thank you Jesus, finally
Thank god you said it. People nowadays are so used to the Granancas, DiDonatos, and whom ever else that they're unused to a genuine mezzo sound.
Not in my house lol
It’s a pity, because a well used chest voice is such a beautiful and poweful thing!!!!
Baltsa was a falcon, not properly a mezzo. I love her chest voice, even that she over uses it even in a high register, but she can do it!!!! Not every mezzo can do this, that does not mean is not a mezzo. The chest voice is big issue to discuss.
there are no small actors and there are no small roles - BRAVO !

Agnes Baltsa has a dynamic voice . I remember her singing in Barcelona Olympic 1992 . Simply outstanding it was and masterpiece.
Que hermosura no puede ser mas perfecto, afortunados los que estuvieron ahí esa noche
I saw this production live a good bit ago. Wonderful and enchanting.
the best interpretation of Carmen
Величайшее и любимая!Браво 1000раз!
My God! If I sing like that I could not sing anymore, and Baltsa do it so natural. I love her!
Agnes Baltsa and the Met achieved the best Gypsy song ever. Fantastic.
Baltsa is the best Carmen I've ever seen
Raiane V. I agree
Raiane V. Garanča is my favourite but Baltsa is pretty close
@Raiane V
Von Karajan's favourite Carmen.
Annie From Smooth Criminal garanca does not and i cannot stress this enough does not even come close to balsa
Opera Lover true lol.... baltsa is very exciting and thrilling... garanca is boring... no chest voice weak sound

Cant believe that she is same age as my grandmother. Agnes, everything about you is legendary
FINALLY! A strong middle and chest Register! This is an incredible performance!
What a magnificent voice. She does great justice to Bizet's timeless masterpiece.
She has a fantastic voice....power+ warmth.
Legend says that there were elegant viennese ladies among the audience, who, during the interval, in their long dresses and jewels, were trying to imitate Agnes Baltsa with her tambourine! Such a strong was the impression of her performance!
To me she is the best Carmen ever and after Norman and Damrau , i found another favourite singer in her. Bravo, Agnes!
The entire thing is basically belted... It's unreal ... A feat of vocal technique
fast and fiery, just the way it should be!
She belts the entire role. Astonishing and terrifying.
Yes! Gives me chills and that hasn't happened for a long time.
you are so right. Horrible. My throat hurts after 2 minutes of listening.
it is not horrible, it is absolutely spectacular, a mezzo with chest voice!!!

my favorite carmen❤
Great Agnes Baltsa!
Sound is great!!! Thanks a lot
God, this is so full of life.
exactly. best description possible i think and thats why her whole performance is so unique and maybe the best ever .
I'm playing this for my Grade 5 Trumpet and it's harder than it sounds, but it's worth it for the fantastic sound it makes!
ayy same here! how did you do?
me too!
Una gran cantante. Se luce mucho en el personaje d. Carmen.
Agnes Baltsa is a phenomenal Carmen. Better performance
La Chanson Bohême - I do not know.
so you do not know a lot I guess. Of course todays Carmens are worse but in earlier times there were much better ones. I did see her as Carmen, I did not like her acting, and yet less her looking and personality, I was not able to understand Don Jose.

Fabulous. Thoroughly owned the role at the time and has not been matched since. What a shame that her Met appearances were so sparse.

Oops sorry the entracte to act 2 is a kind of march with two bassoons and a great walking bass part... The slow flute is entracte to act 3.
