Comments to “Cecilia Bartoli performs "Ah, chi mi dice mai"”













November 18th, 2008 at 21:33:16 Cecilia is DIVINE!!!!
November 18th, 2008 at 21:56:15 I do not care she is a mezzo or what. She sounds exciting and FEELING the revenge. Therea are no technical problems at all, she is just gorgeous. People say Don Giovanni is boring. Not when sung with this energy and phrasing ! Brava Bartoli, our newest real diva, in the XIX century mould. Not soprano, not mezzo. Maybe falcon, maybe assoluta. A real wonder !
November 18th, 2008 at 22:19:14 Do you not know that the best Elvira's are mezzos? Clearly you don't. Do some homework
November 18th, 2008 at 22:42:13 è un mito vivente !!!
November 18th, 2008 at 23:05:12 i think that you're wrong...bartoli have a particular expression that can reach easy the soprano, and the music of elvira is often full of grave notes for the soprano register..is something beetwen a mezzo and a soprano...
November 18th, 2008 at 23:28:11 I dunno... I love her at Elvira. She really portrays the part perfectly to me with that tension. She wants revenge like no other Elvira I've seen. ;-)
November 19th, 2008 at 23:51:10 LOL!
November 19th, 2008 at 00:14:09 Bravissimo! This video is simply the best "Ah, chi mi dice mai" on YT in cinematic, orchestral and vocal effects.
November 19th, 2008 at 00:37:08 she's cute when she's angry, isn't she?
November 19th, 2008 at 01:00:07 Susan Graham and Joyce DiDonato are both singing Donna Elvira next month at different opera houses. I'm going to see the former, and I hope to see a video of the latter. I think rich, dark, mezzo Elviras work when done well, but Bartoli has way too much tension.
November 19th, 2008 at 01:23:06 I don't know about that,but I hear what I hear and it is simply fascinating !
November 19th, 2008 at 01:46:05 Why the hell is she sinnig Donna Elvira. Bartoli is a MEZZO SOPRANO!!! Not a SOPRANO!!! I Love her in Vivaldi, Händel or other baroque Operas. But Mozart is simly not her cup of tea. She needs trills and coloraturas... and not this. Sorry, I love Cecila Bartoli but this is just wrong.
November 19th, 2008 at 02:09:04 lol she hates him :) beautiful
November 19th, 2008 at 02:32:03 OMG she is so scary :):):) of course, she's great and I like her, but not in that performance:P
November 19th, 2008 at 02:55:02 Hehehe, I love your definition of Elvira as a walking emotional disorder, I find it spot on. However, just because you're emotionally messed up doesn't mean you have to be a vulgar bawling out shrew. Remember Ottavio and Anna: "che aspetto nobile, che dolce maesta".
November 19th, 2008 at 03:18:01 I don´t like it. Anyway she sings very good.
November 19th, 2008 at 03:41:00 Brava Cecilia!!!!
November 19th, 2008 at 04:03:59 Not her role, I'm afraid. But Cecilia is great in anothe Opera arias.
November 19th, 2008 at 04:26:58 Can you post the final scene of act2, please? And the final-sextetto? :-)
November 19th, 2008 at 04:49:57 I would have to disagree. Donna Elvira is a walking emotional disorder. You can tell A) by having her start a measure too late and B) she keeps on going about "Carvar in core" which shows that she was probably pissed. But she swings back and forth between wanting to kill Don Giovanni and wanting him back. I think Bartoli's portrayal in this aspect was dead on.
November 19th, 2008 at 05:12:56 Gosh, who would want to "consolar il suo tormento" or call her "poverina"? Don Giovanni would never be so sweet to such a virago... Elvira needs to sound weak and desperate in that part, not furious and hysterical... Don't you agree?
November 19th, 2008 at 05:35:55 Yes, I mean she sang this rola as mezzo better than many sopranos. sry my english is really male, i`m from swiss.
November 19th, 2008 at 05:58:54 she isnt a soprano. she is a mezzo soprano, and elvira is written for a soprano. However, they often use mezzos for this role so as to add a different type of soprano clour, otherwise with an opera with 3 soprano roles it can all get a little bit 'samey'
November 19th, 2008 at 06:21:53 Such a hysterical matroness, Giovanni did right to leave her! Completely vulgar interpretation. In Mozart especially her voices sounds not dark, but ugly. Not for her at all. Sorry.
November 19th, 2008 at 06:44:52 It`s not realy a soprano role, but she make it better than many sopranos, BRAVA!
