Elīna Garanča - Habanera (Carmen)

Concert in Moscow, 2008
Karel Mark Chichon, cond.
L'amour est un oiseau rebelle
que nul ne peut apprivoiser,
et c'est bien en vain qu'on l'appelle,
s'il lui convient de refuser.
Rien n'y fait, menace ou prière,
l'un parle bien, l'autre se tait:
Et c'est l'autre que je préfère,
Il n'a rien dit mais il me plaît.
L'amour! L'amour! L'amour! L'amour!
L'amour est enfant de Bohème,
il n'a jamais, jamais connu de loi;
si tu ne m'aimes pas, je t'aime:
si je t'aime, prends garde à toi!
Si tu ne maimes pas,
Si tu ne maimes pas, je taime!
Mais, si je taime,
Si je taime, prends garde à toi!
Si tu ne maimes pas,
Si tu ne maimes pas, je taime!
Mais, si je taime,
Si je taime, prends garde à toi!
L'oiseau que tu croyais surprendre
battit de l'aile et s'envola ...
l'amour est loin, tu peux l'attendre;
tu ne l'attends plus, il est là!
Tout autour de toi, vite, vite,
il vient, s'en va, puis il revient ...
tu crois le tenir, il t'évite,
tu crois l'éviter, il te tient.
L'amour! L'amour! L'amour! L'amour!
L'amour est enfant de Bohème,
il n'a jamais, jamais connu de loi;
si tu ne m'aimes pas, je t'aime:
si je t'aime, prends garde à toi! (x2)
Love is a rebellious bird
that nobody can tame,
and you call him quite in vain
if it suits him not to come.
Nothing helps, neither threat nor prayer.
One man talks well, the other keeps silent;
it's the other one that I prefer.
He never said anything, but I like his looks.
Love! Love! Love! Love!
Love is a gypsy's child,
it has never, ever, recognized the law;
if you love me not, then I love you;
if I love you, you'd best beware!
if you love me not,
if you love me not, then I love you;
but if I love you,
if I love you, you'd best beware!
if you love me not,
if you love me not, then I love you;
but if I love you,
if I love you, you'd best beware!
The bird you thought you had caught
beat its wings and flew away ...
love stays away, you wait and wait;
when least expected, there it is!
All around you, swift, swift,
it comes, goes, then it returns ...
you think you hold it fast, it flees
you think you're free, it holds you fast.
Love! Love! Love! Love!
Love is a gypsy child,
it has never, ever, known law;
if you love me not, then I love you;
if I love you, you'd best beware!

Conductor Karel Chichon is enjoying himself as much as his wife, Elina. Great show!

[@karlrajani1381]

Elina Garanca captures the rebellious spirit of Carmen like no one else. Bravo!

[@kari_sims]

I think Callas embodied Carmen like no one will ever do, Elina comes close though.

[@JaimieAppleton]

I love Elina Garanca so much, but the conductor totally cracked me up! He starts singing along at 1:04

[@user-eo4gy7hr6n]

Элина прекрасна. Изумительная.

[@beaumont1871]

Vivat Elena! from Estonia

[@ChibiSF]

Just saw her perform as Carmen at the Met Opera House in NYC. Great show, I enjoyed it very much.

[@blazeofglory6674]

I adore the conductor

[@FredricEric]

Me too. He's her husband.

[@renepariente7675]

René Pariente Magnifique interprétation et quelle beauté

[@pikachuhatyu]

she is appropriately cocky. love her.

[@user-tx6cz3ty7k]

Прелесть, голос уникальный.! Браво, браво.!

[@janpi27800]

Tout ce que je souhaite ,c'est pouvoir la voir et l'entendre !!!!!

[@Tagil1942]

Нет слов ! Молодец !

[@TooLateForIeago]

Thank you for including a translation. It goes from beautiful noise to a meanigful song when the listener gets to know what's going on!

[@dnor16]

She is the director's wife. What a lucky man...

[@victormurray1]

Excellent!

[@rbheartsmae]

She is the most stunning Carmen ever-- looks wise. ugh! Its awesome.

[@mirtahaideesotomayormendez1821]

GRANDIOSA!!

[@karenegert8222]

what a voice !!!!!

[@lara-fi4ww]

Of course not. LOL. Elina ia my all time favourite mezzo. And i totally agree with you, Charles Henry. That is very true. She is just awesome. No doubt. Even if it looks lip synched, It isnt. that means u havent watched the whole video

[@CarloQuinto]

Since Carmen burst onto the world scene over 130 years ago there has only been one interpreter to get it right and that is Elina Garanca. All the others make it a caricature. Elina sings and acts the part making it so believable. Sorry Shirley, Rise, Rosa, Elina has taken you to school!

[@gramo63]

Julia Migenes does a fantastic job as well. And plays the part with authenticity -- dark-skinned Gypsy harlot, complete with hairy armpits!

[@LaFeniLol]

Charles Henry and dances*

[@Riverplatista]

I'm not a lot in Operas, but this is truly wonderful!

[@srt0914]

Brilliant performance.

[@flyingtoday]

She is built to play Carmen, sexy, powerful voice, she owns the role.

[@frufruJ]

Yes :)

[@josefroczniok248]

Toll

[@karenegert8222]

wow -- soo GOOD

[@Tagil1942]

Не послушать Элину Гаранча , это всё равно , что не посетить своих родных .

[@ItsVikkiEveryone]

Haha I love her husband (the conductor). Seems like a funny guy

[@ou0274]

Excellent teach me

[@frufruJ]

You're welcome! Yes, she is! :-)

[@pinomarra43]

brava ottima eswcuzione.

[@ilonapetru8626]

nice

[@Ricocarrino1]

I am tired to answer and explain you the world. Amen Addio per sempre

[@ad80ad]

@THIECRY Absolutely right...

[@frufruJ]

Why do you have to tell us that you don't like it? Listen to others and let us enjoy. Happy new year to you, too.

[@Ricocarrino1]

Ich plane nichts weiter, dazu ist alles gesagt. Ich erkläre es aber gern noch einmal: Zur Seguidilla sagte ich: Stimme und Temperament einer singenden Hausfrau! Bei der Habanera nahm ich Bezug auf den Maestro, der mehr von Carmen hat als die singende Hausfrau. Es ist also nicht doppelt! The conductor is acting Carmen, while Elina-Darling is singing a lettish lullaby! Happy new year

[@xxxsatanas14xxx72]

Mi canción, pongo esa música en las casa de seguridad en Ciudad Victoria.

[@janpi27800]

une Déesse , oui ! un ange , surement .

[@AlfredSteiner70]

A voice without colours...

[@frufruJ]

So am I. Farewell.

[@pinkydibs]

@KECHEA See her in Carmen , not at a concert ...she is so naughty ...emotions overflow....

[@md4139]

[@andrebontemp]

excellente interpretation d' Elina Garanca dommage que le son ne soit pas syncrone

[@user-jt4js7ed3e]

Хороша.

[@serjaoba]

É muita areia pro caminhanzinho dele hehehhe

[@frufruJ]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, you wrote that on the other video. Are you planning to cover all videos featuring Garanča on KZbin?

[@alamudesky1959]

He is taken.

[@Tagil1942]

Эта девочка будет с крупным мировым именем 1

[@frufruJ]

@chrzanowianin Škoda, že je vdaná ;-)

[@frufruJ]

I'm not offended, I just want people to show a bit respect. As I wrote (!) some people like something that others don't. But why not discuss the good and the bad, why not criticize constructively, instead of just mocking? (no, it was not funny). Dialogue is good for both parties, and that comments (on other vid, too) were not attempts for a dialogue. To a degree, I agree with the content, I protest against the form.

[@Ricocarrino1]

Ich habe den Kommentar wegen eines Schreibfehlers entfernt. Hier das Original: Der Dirigent hat mehr von Carmen als diese singende Hausfrau!!!

[@Tagil1942]

Вы только посмотрите все в зале зачарованы !

[@user-mn9ye3xj5z]

Дирижёр в экстазе..)

[@rorodocteur1704]

elle n a pas l accent russe

[@sealove36]

Ha Ha

[@frufruJ]

Dear Sir, hands off of my country. It's more free now than most countries in the world, and it's thanks to people who don't just mock singers. Second, art is a matter of personal taste. Not good or bad taste, just different. If you dislike something, you should always keep in mind that others might like it. You are not an ultimate authority on art, nobody is. If you don't like something, that's fine, but why should you laugh at it? What you wrote is not a fair criticism, it's just jeering.

[@user-ut4ue3zo4m]

I know I'm about 10 years late, but I'm really glad that somebody finally said what I was thinking. So thank you.

[@Ricocarrino1]

This is a very , very stupid answer to a criticism. I I thaugt criticism is now allowed in your coutry? If not, please excuse me.

[@spicyjew6777]

Game theory

[@chrzanowianin]

szkoda, że jestem żonaty...

[@darkstar1345a]

she put katherine jenkins to shame

[@GhuToB]

Her husband is the conductor. Right ? :)

[@danielcyrus784]

Looks lip synched… No offense

[@gramo63]

There is a time lag because the image has to bounce off a satellite. You will notice bigger time lags when CNN or FOX news asks a reporter in another country to say something.

[@KECHEA]

Nice voice but hardly any emotions.
