Goerke & Barton - La Gioconda Duet (NY 2015)

[@lalagonegaga]

During those last two notes, you can clearly hear mics melting, walls coming down, time and space warping etc.

[@chaserooface]

lalagonegaga but seriously, at 3:56, it sounds like their voices are coming from a different dimension...

[@KatbotZ]

Oh my god. That post break down at the end is precious. Love hearing opera singers talking like average people. Hilariiiiiiious

[@stephenfletcher6801]

Enjoyed their singing, but fell in love with them when they went backstage. Would you not love to party with these two? I sure would.

[@gregorydiercks8958]

I have partied with Christine - it was awesome!

[@stephenfletcher6801]

@@gregorydiercks8958 I sooo wish I could be happy for you! (Thanks for sharing.)

[@mmartinsrj]

What is that sound?! Rarely have I heard such powerful yet warm voices at full height and such degree of blending! And seeing Goerke kiss the hand of a new (Wunder)kid on the block as a sign of gratitude and appreciation was really nice! Great voices, astonishing performers! Thanks for sharing this gem.

[@kindiambokanengue4214]

Espectacular duo creo que muy poca veces se ha podido escuchar algo parecido dos impresionantes voces unidas en un duelo sonoro de alto nivel artístico donde se aprecia un gran dominio de la tecnica vocal y musicalmente muy aprendida y memorisada la partitura felicidades a estas dos interpretes del mundo de la ópera que con este video ponen en lo mas alto a un genero que nunca morirá

[@hankblaustein4149]

was there; memorable!

[@clairebarnett-jonesmezzo-s6366]

“Name a more iconic duo....” This was just an incredible concert!

[@csgarrison118]

The overtones produced at 3:55 is INSANITY!!! love them

[@tomcunningham1973]

Love this great recor love this ' brilliance'''''', thank s

[@lalagonegaga]

Two months later, I must've watched this video some 70 times. #obsessed This is singing at its absolute finest.

[@williamr.langley9854]

Same! The best recording/performance of the Gioconda duet EVER!

[@samueljaramillo4221]

Great duet, two bombastic great voices. Two fantastic ladies👏👏👏👏

[@golden-63]

If chest voice is wrong, I don't want to be right!

[@miuzefreak]

LOLOLOL that is hilaaaaarious! litterally LOL

[@frankfurter6561]

That have NONE that’s why.

[@로보티니콜라스]

The problem is that it's not chest, it's a BAD USE OF IT, that's not true chest tones. LISTEN TO BARBIERI PLEASE!!!!

[@davidsimmons654]

Watson Everly some of the “golden age of opera” sopranos chose to stop using it because “if you use the bottom you lose the top” (there’s a whole KZbin video on it “The diva’s and chest voice” I think)

[@kaloyanbotev3152]

@@davidsimmons654 if you don't use chest, you'll lose register coordination and you'll actually lose your voice.

[@talkingbowl]

"Singing in the key of Jesus." Love it!

[@LaDivinaLover]

Absolutely wonderful!! Their voices blend so well together and what a performance!!! “Sang the helll out of it” is right. Off topic side note, I love Goerke’s earrings! They’re gorgeous.

[@ToyPlains]

3:16-3:19 is the most beautiful sound I've ever heard

[@johnhwalker]

OMG

[@draganvidic2039]

Jonmarc Olivier The silence or the cow-timbre at 03.18?

[@draganvidic2039]

Watson Everly 🤣👍🏼

[@kaloyanbotev3152]

@Watson Everly and to Barbieri and la Nicolai too.

[@gerardmignon700]

ecoutez Milo et Zajick pour savoir ce que sont de vraies grandes et belles voix.

[@ovidiuionescu3105]

OMG ladies! Wow! Amazing! Braviiii!

[@leomack4432]

Chills!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you so much for posting

[@dodotassi]

Bel duetto

[@GLADORISIMA]

Great Voices!!!

[@Tsunade3Sannin]

Didn't think ladies like this existed anymore. I'd see them any day.

[@karlovac208]

Zinka Milanov, Rosalind Elias,come to mind.

[@karlovac208]

The Great Milanov maybe this production is better Gioconda - Zinka Milanov Laura Adorno - Irene Kramarich or Rise Stevens

[@arturoonzari5402]

Milanov sounds always "old" in the '50s and in the '40s too. She was always old

[@emmystarlight]

they sound like they have the same teacher!!!!They sound like sisters😂😂😂😂

[@draganvidic2039]

And that’s the problem. None of them have a free sound with good chestvoice and without ingolata…

[@GastonRivero_Official]

a luxury conductor Mto. Eugene Kohn

[@bargalad]

Thank God there is still singing the way I heard it when I was growing up. Bravi.

[@smtaz7631]

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@grabiopera]

FANTASTIC :):):)

[@veronicagombach1067]

Suberbes!!! Elles sont deux déeses au voix d'or!!!

[@mariacasemyr]

Breathtaking powerful ladies

[@michaelroberts6894]

Great singing in any age.

[@singwrite]

We wouldn't need wars if everyone communicated this way!

[@BellaFirenze]

Have you any idea of what they are saying?

[@singwrite]

Sing it in the key of Gesus! Excellent advice.

[@jordipanadesribera6890]

Brave !

[@claudiuc4623]

Thank you for posting! Can you please also upload the rest of the programme?

[@beachfanatic2010]

Big voices but where did they leave the italian squillo???? At home??

[@artemsmirnov7067]

I actually saw Barton live recently (as Azucena) and I was amazed how small her voice actually was. It could be barely heard even during Stride la vampa ...

[@beachfanatic2010]

That woman is a scam! Her voice is tiny, nasal, high larynx and woofy. She has no squillo nor does she have operatic size to her voice whatsoever.

[@mollynoorimezzo]

What?!? 🤣

[@liedersanger1]

I hear a lot of it. Sorry you missed it.

[@robin678]

Totally sensational!!!

[@csgarrison118]

Did anybody else hear those overtones at 3:56? I think my soul just left my body.

[@francescodonizetti]

Old school grand singing ain't dead!

[@gergelycsallo5133]

yes, fortunately!

[@로보티니콜라스]

THIS IS NOT OLD ITALIAN SCHOOL, I find quite insulting for those who really sang from the italian school way. This is not great singing my god, this is Nasal, knöded, constricted, wobbly, bad use of chest voice. I am not been close-minded, I built up my criteria listen to the great ones , please make yourself a favor and listen to : Simionatto, Raisa, Barbieri, Dimitrova, Ponselle, Tebaldi !!!!!!!

[@chaserooface]

로보 티니콜라스 you’re a troll. This is better than old Italian technique. Italians invented it, then everyone else (mostly Americans) perfected it. I think you’re the BEST technique you’ve ever heard with the FIRST technique you e ever heard. Give me a the title of a video of your interpretation of “good singing”

[@peteradaniel]

I hope Ms Goerke's weight loss doesn't effect her singing in the long term. Incredibly talented soprano.

[@BellaFirenze]

She's back to pachyderm size.

[@wilsonwatt9283]

Barton is spectacular

[@janenotneed5602]

AT LAST , SUBLIME !!THANK S OPERACARIOCA..

[@raularango5973]

Great voices.

[@gerardmignon700]

Après Zajick et Milo, c'est triste !

[@francesconicolaorlando6887]

beautiful voices, but tasteless and without style and moderation. Shout out in many passages. Pity

[@BernardaBobro]

Two wobble queens :-)

[@juanmaldonado7352]

Goerke sounds too nasal, constricted, woobly and zero chest participation. Barton is not doing any better. The modern school of singing is the death of opera.

[@kevinlockhern]

Can I ask, what makes you the deciding voice on this topic?

[@levieuxpiano]

Gagnantes vocalement et au poids...

[@로보티니콜라스]

Nasal, knödel, constricted, wobbly, bad use of chest voice. This is what opera has become? I quit.

[@drefesou8912]

That´s so horrible... It´s just a great parody! And the little celebration in the end of the video... WTF were they celebrating???

[@lalagonegaga]

Begone, Jeremy Silver's brainwashed troll.

[@SilverSingingMethod]

Nothing, but distorting with mic's attempting to cover it up. And shame on everyone praising this nonsense.

[@larrymcclain8874]

Silver Singing Method "Oh, rubbish! You have no power here. Now begone, before somebody drops a house on you too!"

[@lalagonegaga]

Is your only purpose in life to be completely wrong? I have seen your comments elsewhere and each and every time they were so completely removed from reality, it was almost comical.

[@JackieLanceTenor]

If this is bad singing to you I would interested to know what your opinion of good singing is.

[@deniznejatizar8716]

Josh Lance Don’t waste your time with those fake voice gurus. You wanna hear his student ? kzbin.info/www/bejne/qqK5lphorNSGm7s

[@frankfurter6561]

Josh Lance actually he is damn right. This is weak and dreadful amplified singing. Jamie Barton has a fantastic material but a terrible technique.

[@turajill9577]

Terrible

[@Vladikism]

Such a degradation of real opera sound. Shame. Really disgusting sounds.
