Edita Gruberova - Zerbinetta - Ariadne auf Naxos - Wien 1978 - dir. Bohm

[@angelparsifal]

Bohm said "I wish Richard could heard this". Now he can! Rest in peace, Madame Gruberova.

[@Feisenbach]

I don't think there is any opera singing in the grave.

[@motorsusi]

meine Hochachtung vor dieser jetzt verstummten Stimme , ich schätze mich froh sie auf der Bühne erlebt zu haben. Ruhe in Frieden

[@Rumundjin]

Wie herrlich, unvergleichlich, ja: wie schmerzhaft schön. Immer wieder Gänsehaut. Danke, Frau Gruberova, für alles, was sie der Musikwelt geschenkt haben.

[@vanzofaust]

RIP. The best Zerbinetta ever

[@cappycapuzi1716]

An amazing display of Gruberova's art. She so enjoys singing! She said she didn't suffer from stage fright. Can you imagine singing this difficult piece in front of an audience??

[@KBGWorld29]

There will never be a better singer for this role. Edita owns this role… she is this character.

[@Feisenbach]

There will never be a better singer for this role? Probably not. Edita owns this role? I believe she does. She is this character? No, that's just a cliché.

[@KBGWorld29]

So who’s your choice? Pray tell.

[@Feisenbach]

@@KBGWorld29 I guess that should be pretty cleat: Edita! But no one, not even she, "is" the character. That's a cliché. :-)

[@rossinilove]

How could you NOT fall in love with her after watching this...?

[@artdanks]

An amazing Zerbinetta! And I've never been a Gruberova fan, AT ALL! BUT, I have to be honest and agree that this is one of the best Zerbinetta's I've heard.

[@ChezFeroce]

Rest in Paradise, Edita

[@voiceofwisdom1]

Gruberovas Zerbinetta was an absolute miracle, and I suspect Richard Strauss must have been chuckling from above

[@michalchovanec8941]

An immortal performance!

[@lsmith145]

Gruberova and Janovitz, two of the best singers ever

[@selini52]

This aria is another piece she owned. Amazing 🤩

[@sexysailer]

I saw her performance in Vienna in July 2018, 40 years after this. She was fabulous; and the audience wouldn't stop applauding. Perhaps you can also find this gala concert on KZbin, I don't know.

[@MisterSoprano]

I was there too :D

[@rosy3385]

Quelle artiste prestigieuse et quelle voix !

[@alondra555]

¡ Qué bella voz, y qué clara !

[@nevim007]

I will never get enough of 10:34 as she hits the D5 in pp, goes to full forte and puts a trill on top of it, all whilst smiling and applying powder on her face like absolutely nothing was happening. Show me any of the current soprano "stars" who can do it.

[@baldrbraa]

Hübsch gepredigt!

[@gustavharge5720]

[@musicminds91]

@Manoli Stavrinakis The range of this aria goes from C4 to E6 (this 1916 version) The 1912 version (that killer version!) goes from B3 to F#6

[@manolis.799]

Thanks, I figured it out later but still appreciate your response.

[@vettegaddia6234]

Cristofer Muñoz Chacano I've never heard this sung better. And I'm not even a fan of Gruberova.

[@willrobinson1229]

Vette gaddia Same here. And wonderfully acted as well.

[@Leanrosso]

Esta es la version de 1916? Gracias por la informacion.

[@rachelparay7559]

It's not every coloratura soprano who sings Zerbinetta that can skillfully toss up those notes which are supposed to be the highest notes in operatic repertoire - WHILE POWDERING HERSELF WITH HER MIRROR MAKE UP KIT LOL Brava Edita

[@jucarriizo]

Magnificent

６年を経過して、今日初めて見つけて聴きました！声が美しく抑制がよく効いていて素晴らしい。最高の歌声だと思いましたぁ！！

[@herbrichster]

Ich habe nur 3 Gedenken. 1) brava! 2) brava!!! 3) bravissima!!!

[@vettegaddia6234]

Torsten Herbrich Shewas fantastic in her youth. Then she sang those ugly Norma's, Lucia's. Her Zerbinetta is the standard. Why did she sang when she sounded like a crow in the 2000's. She is by far the best Zerbinetta I've ever heard. Better than Beverly. She should have quit when she was one of the three best coloraturas. Never a threat to Joan in any way. But maybe better than Beverly sometimes. I love her Zerbinetta. This is the very best I've ever heard. She is a light coloratura, not a norma or a lucia. When she sings in her prime in what she does best, no light coloratura can touch her. I repeat, I have never heard a better Zerbinetta in my life. I think she even sings the harder version with the F#. This is a wow.

[@polopixel5142]

+Vette gaddia did you listen to Dessays version (the 90s version of course)? It is just as amazing as this.

[@federicoviena]

+Vette gaddia you Sound more like a crow, but not out of 2000

[@marr6920]

+Vette gaddia Ok, I agree with the Norma comment, but not the Lucia one... Vetta, I know you are a fanatic of Sutherland... but Lucia is sadly originally written for a light colortura soprano... +Polo Apple, Dessay has no voice for Zerbinetta, she sounds to laser like and strained!

[@altanuyaroglu393]

Und sie singt noch immer, das ist auch unvergleichlich! Morgen Anna Bolena im Wiener Musikverein!

was soll man dazu noch sagen....die beste zerbinetta ever! so "etwas" wird man auch so schnell nicht mehr hören!

[@aldosottofattori4616]

Intrepretazione pazzesca, meravigliosa... Brava Edita! Mi piacerebbe avere i giudizi di chi dà i "pollici verso" per capire meglio i difetti nascosti che il mio orecchio di semplice appassionato non può rilevare

[@zoltanvarga8448]

Perfect🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@leeroger1471]

just imagine if the composers heard her sings there music what would they think omg omg omg

[@Feisenbach]

I think Toni Stricker was the only composer to experience that. He must have felt privileged. Edita never sang much contemporary music.

Wer hat da negativ abgestimmt? Ich muß ursus1302 recht geben! Da kommt so schnell KEINE ran!!!

[@alecvillavilla9978]

Magnificent. At her prime she was marvellous. Then too soon she became the caricature of a soprano, hard to listen to and watch performing. Sumi Jo also sang this area with highest mastery.

[@christophelecoz3071]

Dear, You should reallly try to try to play a particule of such a caricature, just once time, just for 10 seconds ;)

[@Askade1]

Natalie Dessay performed it as good!

Absolutely not. Edita owns this role. She brings it to life
