Such ease of production! Wonderful!

[@SuperPerformingArts]

There is no one like Cristina Deutekom. I have seen many of her performances in which she is absolute perfection. I have never seen anyone look so at ease and relaxed during the many demanding and challenging works she has performed. Thank you for uploading this.

[@magicmonkichi]

agreed, somehow she always looks totally relaxed and easy....how can it be? lol.

[@evelynkatz1301]

Yes, but where are the videos???? We too want to hear her!!!!

[@alekoro2009]

Che voci meravigliose!

[@MyRuben60]

Fantastico Cupido e lei sempre magnifica!

[@lawrenceallen6508]

Wow. I’ve never heard this great Diva before . What a voice to behold .

[@samueljaramillo4221]

Two magnificent voices. Sublime.

Dulce Christine Deutekom, la mayor Soprano Verdiana de la 2da mitad del siglo pasado... ❤️

[@aurelab4739]

There is something about her. I do not understand the singing technique in opera. I just love opera. But there is something in her voice that makes me feel good, at peace. I just love her. Not behaving like a diva at all. She has that grace. And I feel that she was a great human being As well.

Giovanne maestro, brilliant suono, che buon voce ! Grazie mille per posting.

[@jancedricmicheler6122]

Bravaaa,Bravoooo👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@MrPAPAGAYO46]

Magníficas voces, no hay nada más que decir. La excelencia se muestra y es mutua, ya sea cantando cada uno en solitario o en dúo. No los conocía, solamente ahora, en 2019, vine a descubrirlos.

[@acacia-bloom]

She sounds even better here than on her 1975 Scottish Opera commercial recording!

[@wbondar]

This was so wonderful, the singing was great! I would have loved to have seen her in this role! Thanks for posting!

[@operettafan1]

perfection, ease, certain uniqueness and not a self obsessed diva -that is Deutekom and that should be the definition of ever classical singer, especially the ones who are currently making their careers, but unfortunately that is not the case...Which on the other hand makes her even more special

[@antoninoaccordino6500]

che squillo, che facilita' di emissione, voce limpida.

[@pieritlyon]

norbart76, muchas gracias. no había visto ni escuchado este vídeo. Muy bueno Alberto Cupido, potente y bella voz, interpretación muy hermosa, no hace ningún esfuerzo, la voz fluye natural por que tiene gran voz, de lo que escuchado de `el es superior que Villazòn y mucho más grato de mirar y debería estar él en vez de Domingo en los escenarios.¿que ha pasado con él?. la señora Deutekon es extraordinaria, siempre me gustado mucho más que la M. Callas. MAGNIFICAS VOCES

[@davidwolters9178]

Me to Callas hysteria

[@MyRuben60]

Fantastico!

[@operadude32]

Are there any more clips from this televised concert? I absolutely love Ms. Deutekom!

[@danielacorrado7353]

Ce ne fossero tenori cosi oggi! squillo, musicalità ogni nota al suo posto e niente gigionerie Grande Cupido

[@eclipsemodel-agenziadellav2463]

Tenore medio nulla di eccezionale ma oggi sarebbe il nuovo Pavarotti!

[@purisermonisamator]

Не думаю: и сегодня не будет.

[@gianllucchino]

che tenore stupendo :)))) non ha fatto il successo che meritava

[@iubanne]

Cupido è un grande professionista.

[@Ellatigojusticiero]

Cupido no se oyó al final, la hermosa voz de Cristina lo apago....

[@artemsmirnov7067]

what is the last piece?

[@Paulofibonelli]

Artem Smirnov gloria in excelsis deo, it’s very common to be heard during Christmas

[@operaforlife6551]

In Dutch ;)

[@SuperMiguelito2000]

Is this a supper club?

[@purisermonisamator]

Обожаю Дойтеком, однако Амелия требует очень масштабного и сочного нижнего регистра, которым певица с голосом, устремленным вверх, всё же не обладает. Тенор с хорошим тембром, но партия Ричарда крепковата для него, а в дуэте ему надо звучать ярко и мощно.

[@StichtingDroomwevers]

The tenor is great! The soprano, like Joan Sutherland, unclear pronunciation but nice sound.

[@voltaire1377]

she sings so well !!….but why do they all need to get fat?

[@robertdonkers]

Does it matter?

[@blackkguyga]

We all get fat! Just be blessed to live a long life as Ms. Deutekom, and you will find out!

[@johnpretorius7266]

Please be civilised. Keep your comments focused on the PERFORMANCE. You don't need to get personal. Your comment brings NOTHING but rudeness and hostility. Respect these phenomenal artists!

[@evelynkatz1301]

She was born with a broad chest and a wide waist that contained big lungs and a powerful diaphragm and so she had an incredibly huge voice. However, she had a completely flat tummy, it wasn't fat, it was all muscles. You can see her in the red dress in a later performance when she was 55, a big frame but no fat. Besides, not all of them become fat. Callas lost weight and ruined her voice, though it was never as beautiful as this angelic voice...Call it metallic, whatever, but it's heavenly beautiful!! Her pronunciation is quiet good too. He sings in his native language, while she is originally Dutch, don't forget, and it's the overtones of her rich voice that obscure the words. But still, I understand quiet a lot, which with Sutherland singing this role and in general is hopeless.... Sutherland, contrary to this dear lady, had facelifts that made her look like Frankenstein, not fat but rather bony...... :=) Deutekom, however, has the sweetest face, matching her angelic voice................... And finally, if you look at so many paintings of the past, fat is beautiful!!

[@samueljaramillo4221]

Their body size has nothing to do with their great performance. Another KZbin troll.
