Norma: "In mia man - Dammi quel ferro! - Qual cor tradisti" (live) - Deutekom, Barasorda, Ghiuselev

"In mia man... - Dammi quel ferro! - Qual cor tradisti" from Bellini's Norma
with Cristina Deutekom (Norma), Antonio Barasorda (Pollione), Nicola Ghiuselev (Oroveso)
1986, live, San Diego

[@WilsonWatt-q2e]

I heard her Norma at the Lyric in Chicago about 12 years before this production. She filled that very large house with immense and immensely beautiful sound and, as can be heard here, she acted with her voice and knew how to use gestures and stillness of movement very well. I have seen other Normas [unfortunately not Sutherland] but Deutekom's is the one that remains as the best in my memory.

The “Son io” at 8:48 is grandiose - only for the true great sopranos - and after being on stage the whole evening…

[@christophecesar4761]

Amazing! Such control, low notes in chest voice, commitment and... gorgeous hughEb on pitch 🤩🤩🤩 after more than 20 years of career Cristina comes definitely from another planet 🌠

[@draganvidic2039]

True !!!

[@SuperEfexor]

Cristina Deutekom è stupenda, tecnica bellissimi, voce meravigliosa di grande limpidezza e volume.

[@Michael29889]

... and also the tenor. 🤔

[@andremxa3163]

I adore Orange 1974. Now I like San Diego 1986 too. 🫶🏼

[@a8macedo]

Cristina Deutekom e come sempre straordinario!!!!

[@operadude32]

Thank you so much for sharing! What a wonderful document of Deutekom's Norma. Absolutely love her!!!!!

[@magicmonkichi]

Many thanks! There is so little live video of Deutekom available, thank you for sharing, she is brilliant!

[@familypondman]

There is only one!!!!!! Cristina Deutekom!!!!!! Brava!!!!!!! For ever!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@gummypusswatterson1322]

i love her!!! even past her prime she doesn't stop impressing! she must've been in her mid 50s and still doesn't shy away from that high note at 6:37 like i've heard lots of other sopranos do (who are still fantastic nonetheless). bravo!!!

[@danielng7795]

Is the high e flat in in mia man written ? I always thought it is an interpolation

[@gummypusswatterson1322]

@@danielng7795 you're right, i made it seem as if it's written which is my bad. but given how popular it is to interpret a high note at the end of every aria, it surprises me more sopranos don't do it. she the only one i know of

[@davidwolters9178]

Speechless ❤ Brava

[@Paulofibonelli]

4:27 wow, she really knows what chest voice means

[@sergiovanelli7420]

.....averne!!!!!,bravissima!!!!voce splendida in tutta la sua estensione...omogenea dagli acuti ai gravi..e non è poco!!!!

[@xxsaruman82xx87]

That chest voice 😍😍😍

[@ronronizetti2534]

Amazing! - thank you!! This may well be the finest example of her work live - So vibrant and in control - I've NEVER liked Norma - this is a game changer!

[@Ronizetti]

Dear Lord please let the entire video exist!?!

[@draganvidic2039]

She’s crazy good doing everything she can with her instrument. Meaning what a singer can master through vocal development. Few have mastered that before or after.

[@BookofNote]

So says the hypocritical who can’t even sing himself but loves to stalk and throw stones at others who don’t parrot his views. Get some help.

[@Nacidodelmar]

BRAVA!

[@zv.ivanovic7544]

Bravisimo!!! ❤️

[@vivianbelissima]

BRAVISSIMA

[@EvaHartwig]

Великолепно!

[@marylambcarter]

THANK YOU SOOOOO MUCH !!! please if you can ... do you have the full performance ?' what a dream

[@davideferrari5702]

Brava ...

[@michaelroberts6894]

Such drama was in her voice totally different than Callas! But exciting !

[@luismontecinos5810]

amazing short performance....I wonder who has the whole performance recorded or filmed. From Santiago of Chile Novembe 2018

[@80Mrmirko]

Tecnica, estensione omogeneità vocale che ne eclissa a fiumi di Norme

[@gesaporiti]

Hello. Do you have this whole video?

[@revmiguel2000]

Picture is comically distorted.

[@ВалентинХудяков-о2л]

Норма звучит Белиссимоооо......

[@vanmusician]

I saw her sing Norma in Seattle. After having been at Sutherland's very first Norma here in Vancouver it was a bit disappointing. The tenor was the same - John Alexander.

[@draganvidic2039]

Deutekom is so much better. At least if you like correct developed voices.

[@rogalesi58]

Non male , me l’aspettavo con più rifinitura degna della sua bravura, Norma è un opera insidiosa, non basta la voce, bellissima, fraseggio, tempo più Belliniano ed interpretazione, ne avrebbero fatta una degna erede di Maria Callas, a livello vocale qualche infelice stonatura. Ma ce ne fossero ora di questo livello.

[@francisanthonypeters9002]

Sono d'accordissimo. 👍

[@asterflamm]

😆😆😆 certo a fare le pulci alla Deutekom con questa sontuosità vocale ci vuole coraggio considerando soprattutto lo sfacelo delle Norme attuali, gallinelle dalle voci smunte e asfittiche. Basterebbe l'omogeneità del registro dal sovracuto al grave senza alcuna cesura e con la stessa intensità sonora per farne oggi un prodigio. Ci possono anche essere delle giornate in cui si può non essere perfettamente in forma. Ma il materiale è talmente prezioso che chi se ne frega di qualche sbavatura. Tra l'altro qui credo sia già parecchio avanti negli anni di carriera.

[@gianerajohn436]

@@asterflamm che poi onestamente troviamo anche tra le grandi del passato una soprano che a 56 anni (o anche 30) avesse trilli, 3 registri, un repertorio dalla regina della notte al nabucco… mi basterebbe un singolo nome
