Recorded Utrecht, 1980

[@helenhebert7127]

It’s like she’s looking around and saying “watch me do this”. She’s absolutely my favorite coloratura.

[@RaymondHng]

She's looking around and saying, "This is how you're suppose to sing it, bitches!"

[@jesusnuovo5346]

Hahahahaha

[@Parker-930]

The singing is beautiful as always, The charisma is completely lacking as always. nothing in this performance conveys young virgin. Just Stoned faced matron. Still I have to admit it’s my favorite version of this aria. Even with her absolute lack of charm. The vocal technique is totally mesmerizing.

[@angr3819]

@@Parker-930 Her voice is all we need. We don't need pretty pretty young girls who can't sing but are only lovely for men to look at. It's about the voice - and Christina's was never bettered and with what is around now never will be.

Voice Clear as crystal without the artificial darkening

A real singing lesson. What a career.

[@louisdewit4429]

Almost criminal that too few times this miracle voice was recorded. The world is left with almost nothing. She is a true miracolo.

Somebody needs to go to jail 😂

[@louisdewit4429]

@@jenniferpollard591 - Miss Pollard. Not so cheeky please. 😜 Anyway. With the Dutch district attorney sitting on his inadequate behind most of the time, chances of even prosecuting major terrorist acts are unlikely to be achieved. One needs to be realistic: The music industry’s disregard of our la Deutekom comes in category just after such cases.

[@gianerajohn436]

As usual, such ease. Such an astounding appoggio and perfect placement. She has zero tension, zero physical involvement in her vocal production. Great chest participation in the high register without compromising the crystalline color of her voice. Dynamics, high note, trills she was just fearless and peerless.

[@lucasdebevec8581]

Es una BELLEZA total de voz . Y cuando dijo belleza, digo el todo. Muchos comentarios recibió siempre sobre vaya a saber uno qué purismo de turno no podía o no puede soportar la originalidad particular de cada voz. Cristina es la gloria de lo que se dice cantar, del bel canto, de lo lírico. Muyyyyyyy infravalorada porque el ser humano es envidioso y le cuesta aceptar a los fenomenales. Por allí leo de algunos "pequeños errores".....¿Que otros cantantes no los tienen, no los han tenido o tendrán? Muéstrame cuantos en vivo hacen TODO bien....en fin.... A Ctistina siempre se le permite decir "algo"....porque ha hecho de todo y jamás malogró su voz. Y lo hizo con medios genuinos sin problemas en todo el registro de su voz a lo largo de toda su carrera. ¿Cuantos pueden o pudieron hacerlo? Una lección de vida artística, de conducta vocal acertada. Y aquí es impactante escuchar su metal , fluidez y destreza. Una grande. HERMOSO aporte este, que nunca había visto. Y tambien hermosos comentarios acerca de la clase de realeza vocal. Sólo siéntate y admirala.❤

[@ian.marais1202]

The queen of effortless .Damn she was soooooooo good. Beautiful voice. Perfect technique. Bravaaaaa.

[@numetutelare]

Va beh di che parliamo, una delle più grandi voci di quegli anni... Una grandissima professionista con una tecnica superba... Ammaliante!!

[@20131climbz]

A true master of singing. Not one single note is unsupported. Agile and soft as if a feather flowing in the air. Bravo.

[@babydrane]

Breathtakingly beautiful in every way.

She was a super super Star of the Opera

[@musicalme27]

MARVELOUS!!!

[@jannarin1625]

When you listen to this kind of special voices you don’t focus on little mistakes or missing stuff in their presentation you just watch it until they finish it and respect them. Rarely can find voice like hers.❤

[@marklee7864]

Full Chest. Jesus. Amazing♥

[@michaelroberts6894]

What a grand singer she was - clear, always on pitch- wonderful listening !

Rare gem and talent that we have once in a century.

I never see her take a breath during any of her performances.

You know you're a fantastic singer when you have to not strain yourself hitting the high notes

YAY~! Thank you for sharing this! I remember a brief clip of the cadenza being on here always wanted to see it all!

I wish she had also sung the mad scene from this opera. It would have been perfect for her voice.

Siempre cantó con el cerebro....

[@gvbrandolini]

Interessante.

[@fernandowohllkbody1871]

MÁXIMO

[@joeygodin8861]

I think this woman is soprano sfogato! She was like Callas; she could sing low and could extend her voice to higher coloratura with such ease.

[@theoperatripleaxel5417]

As long as she is not doing that strange clucatura she sounds AMAZING!

[@tv-serie]

Mooi

[@richardvergara]

It’s a pile of whipped cream with so much personality.

Beverly Sills

[@angr3819]

Never heard one.

[@delibeslakme6451]

Bellisima voz, ella es una gran soprano, para papeles veristas, inigualable. en una caballeta como esta va mejor en una soprano ligera, que pueda ir en el tiempo correcto. por ejemplo: Sills, Jo, Battle, Sutherland....

[@richardholmesmusic2128]

I loved her a lot, but she tended to make lots of little mistakes such as wrong notes (start of the coda here), even on recordings. And of course, the guh-guh-guh articulation (not too prevalent in this aria). But it was a beautiful, fresh, soaring sound.

[@smurf902]

Me too. I love her though. One that she absolutely never clucked was Turandot. What a rare recording. U gotta hear it.

[@Leanrosso]

Que espectacular que era!!!
