Wow ,wow ,wow ,I can't express how excellent she is, Diana damrau

[@lukasmiller486]

I really admire her for being able to sing a capella so long without slipping under or over pitch.

[@jimbuxton2187]

Especially in an over two octave range!

[@julieta8780]

She is magnific... i love this

[@mekhribanmamedova1757]

Beautiful!

[@ohmy5650]

To me it's a connaisseur's version by a singer at the summit of her voice capabilities. Not "voice" alone but the interpreter she has become today and now I know how she already was! How sheer exquisite.

[@user-tx6cz3ty7k]

Диана просто прелесть, чудесный голос.! Я наслаждаюсь её пением.

[@calvinstaley0123]

Beautiful 😍

[@carolinedias1200]

Maravilhosa! Quando sua voz toca meus ouvidos, meus olhos se enchem de lágrimas! Melhor não existe! Voz de anjo!👏❤️❤️

[@fredojoaquim4764]

Lovely.

[@paramitharenyanjani5494]

Beautiful voice

[@FranciscoFerrerGaliana1930]

Maravillosa voz. para una maravillosa Aria de las campanas ""Lakmé""

[@jordipanadesribera6890]

Gorgeous.

[@lagunagreg4019]

Really beautiful singing. Such a pity the second coloratura parts are so slow.

[@katerinablack136]

Wow!!!

[@fritzelas]

perfekt...

[@rhythm.devine]

すごい！

[@germanquintero10121946]

PRECIOSA

[@manuelvicente5516]

Exquisita.

[@cinziavidali411]

Mi sembra una bella performance

[@daniel_5606]

Natalie Dessay es lo máximo kzbin.info/www/bejne/a32qqX5rrc2lppY

[@angelaleal427]

Antonio rojas castillo lo es. De todas la versiones la de Natalie es mi favorita

[@lagunagreg4019]

Not really, no.

[@Pastorwesley100]

Angela Sofia Leal Rodriguez também acho a versao com Natalie dessay melhor

[@professionalsinger17]

Natalie dessay is the best lakme diana has.not the.light tone and it is french opera and natalie is french she has better prononcation

[@crazy_Fred]

It is not a fair comparison...it is like comparing Natalie's Queen of the Night to Diana's. Natalie is a native French speaker as Diana is a German one. A native speaker will always have something more to give to an aria sung in his/her mother tongue.

[@xulioxezarqr993]

Cough, really? 2:57

[@bethanear123]

Its not her

[@Kotyk_Murkotyk]

It was Gerald's :)

[@deonellis8577]

It's a live stage recording... Do you expect perfect silence throughout???

[@jessicaspiropoulos1697]

I'll take Ingeborg Hallstein

[@danielng7795]

She was the best.

[@hobog]

I'll take your face

[@jessicaspiropoulos1697]

@@hobog Well golly..

[@giasharie274]

I’ll take Silvia Voinea and Natalie Dessay

[@aracelimondia9637]

Me too, Professor Ingeborg Hallstein's version is perfect.

[@parfumextraitfan7453]

I thought I had accidentally clicked on Natalie Dessay at the very start….

[@misaelferreirasilva49]

Lakmè prefiro a versão da Natalie Dessay e a Rainha da Noite prefiro a versão da Diana Damarau

[@giasharie274]

En Lakme prefiero a Silvia Voinea o Natalie Dessay

[@zadighamroune]

Such bad taste! Vulgar rendition. Delicacy is hard to achieve.

[@eberlinpascal2837]

Bof !!!!☹️

[@Leanrosso]

Callas unsurpassed on her rendition

[@lagunagreg4019]

Even in her early days, Callas never had as pretty a sound as this. And she really doesn't sing the fast coloratura parts in tempo.

[@grobanite4ever85]

Lea Rodriguez I know she had a nasal voice which I dislike

[@Leanrosso]

Well, Callas's rendition is still legendary and it will be the same way till the end of times; while Damrau's will probably be remembered in 100 years time ahead in the future.

[@clarequilty4962]

Except she sounds strained and her F's are too harsh.

[@robertoramossempere7252]

Escucha lo que es cantar "de verdad" el aria de las campanas de Lakme: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fJ62pmBmr9iKq6M

[@frankrobertson1972]

bad as usual

[@danielng7795]

@ClaraMP // 羊 Subliminals Well for one I know that she doesn't really have the technique for this. She sounds breathy and her high notes are screechy. Try listening to others like Joan Sutherland, Callas, Ingeborg Hallstein or maybe Sabine Deviellhe. You can see the differences.

[@danielng7795]

@ClaraMP // 羊 Subliminals A dramatic coloratura soprano is no excuse for her to sing like this. Joan Sutherland is a dramatic coloratura and she doesn't sound like this ok ? If all dramatic coloartura soprano have screechy high notes, what do you classify Edda Moser or Cristina Deutekom. They all are dramatic coloratura without screechy high notes. In the end it all comes down to technique. She used to be good back in the day, but she detiorated a lot with age. Sad to hear it.

[@pszl19]

@ClaraMP // 羊 Subliminals Have you heard her Violetta in Met? It was just painful listening to her voice being just shadow of itself. She uses really unhealthy, so called 'German' , technique. Her high notes are just aspirated screams, usually out of tune. In early years she was stunning, but now she should retire to avoid such a criticism she unfortunately deserves.

[@josephhapp9]

Clara's Celestial Base too much diet coca cola.

[@19gregske55]

Unfair - her diction and her control is uncommonly good.

[@julienthera4878]

Rather horrendous.

[@josephhapp9]

Forced and controlled. Too much diet coca cola,,,,,caffeine.
