Gruberova - Doll song - Offenbach 1993

[@raggeddollz_rzv]

I'm obsessed with her voice control. Her pianissimo is perfect.

[@Tkimba2]

@Barone Vitellio Scarpia well it is. Is she had stuck to this repertoire she could have remained a good soprano (not great to many... Though many see her as great), but we know what she did instead...

[@darlenapalaciosvargas7795]

ññññ

[@darlenapalaciosvargas7795]

me fascina

[@ohorok2]

Her piano is something extraordinary

[@mrturtle1128]

and something that is missing in most singers nowadays... :(

[@poochillipickles8525]

[@lenamuller3637]

Her piano is the perfection of what a singer can and does dream of, it’s beyond any possibilities almost as is her Incredible musicality and musical intelligence

[@youmeandgravity]

One of the best performances of this song I’ve ever seen. Her expert control over dynamics is incredibly impressive.

[@adeeo]

Those who never heard her live will never understand... I have seen her from childhood many times in Bratislava and I always cried. I have never heard a more refined technique and perfection from those days... Even her😊 Norma when she was 65 was perfect...

[@dbrel]

Rip Edita!!! You will never be forgotten…

[@hyramesshiramess1035]

How refreshing! Such delicacy and refinement -- not merely a freakish display of high note gymnastics -- and she even manages to make it comical in just the right places. DELIGHTFUL!

[@888RustamMuradovMusician88]

АНГЕЛ! Таких певцов больше нет. Она пришла с неба и ушла туда снова!😇 😢😭

[@zofiaczerczynska7935]

Edita Gruberowa primadonna assoluta.R.I.P.

[@olgarogach8868]

The best performance of the aria…..ever.

[@raaaaadja99]

R.I.P. Edita

[@artistmanoo]

I just can't believe my eyes and ears.. What a superb extraordinarire performer

[@beccaeaton9389]

Beautiful performance! I think we all can agree that she is one of the best sopranos ever!

[@Лукреция-й8т]

Эдита прекрасна! Как больно, что её больше нет на этом свете!

[@andrehopfer4220]

not only a superb singer but also a great actress. I have always loved her. One of my favorite Queen of Night's ever!

[@Bzcenci812]

I have seen her in some static Lucias. She said once that when she was young she was too concentrated in singing, and she starting paying attention to her acting once she became more sure of her technique.

[@Alexmeister25]

" Queen of the Night ", I prefer Edda Moser, because she has much more drama in the voice and Queen of the Night this personage is dramatic coloratura and Edda Moser voice is perfect, but " dolls " song here I prefer Edita Gruberova... 😃

[@elenawalczyk5927]

BEST PERFORMANCE OF DOLL SONG EVER, both vocally and dramatically. BRAVO!!!!!!!!!

[@Catia2006]

one of the BEST and most precise and beautiful versions of this song. not even a big fan of Edita, but MAN, this is BRILLIANT !!!

[@nateb9917]

I love these doll opera plays

[@ЛюдмилаШилова-у1р]

Великолепная Эдита Груберова!!!Чудо!!!💐♥️👏🙏

[@LinkIsOurChampion]

Was that full of pianissimos? I am stunned. She is a master indeed. Just what I have been told.

[@christopherpericolosi-king4979]

Her voice control is superb! Great Olympia!

[@Wanamaker1946]

Her comedic timing is masterful. I’m reminded of Patricia Rutledge……who also had once a superb voice.

[@coloraturaElise]

I LOVE the bow!

[@tropicalstrings]

Fascinating. Her high notes starting in pianissimo. RIP great singer.

[@Ravenelvenlady]

Particularly the piano and pianissimo parts of this aria. She is simply spectacular.

[@emitch9213]

She was a refreshing downtown earth wit inside her remarkable flexibility of voice. A lot of fun to view her Dolly.

[@Pedro_lopes22]

5:10 her control while oscillating is amazing, she really sounds like a music box that is about to stop

[@MuffinMcCartney]

You can tell that she was having fun 🤭 love her interpretation

[@cimbassovr]

Interpretazione straordinaria di Edita Gruberova,artista meravigliosa che sciorina le sue virtù belcantistiche con generosità!!!Pianissimi da brivido!!! Grazie del filmato

[@carmelabromheadjones3001]

I’ll never forget her Gilda. heart breaking

[@tildakovach]

tell me how anyone can not like this????????????

[@sergiorodriguezibacache5893]

Excepcional!! Amazing!!! Magnifique!!! Edita!!😍😍👏👏👏👏

[@jancedricmicheler6122]

Sie war eine der besten Sopranistinen überhaupt

[@asaambrose]

Yes. Wonderful. Brava. Love her beautiful clean voice with such beautiful color. I still never expect her high notes because of how rich her voice is in her middle, and yet she surprises still when she effortlessly glides up there.

[@dinarauradulova3371]

What an extra-class of singing! Great opera diva!!!

[@austriaco4132]

I loved this lady RIP Edita

[@lutzmahnke7269]

grandios ... nicht nur gesanglich sondern auch von der Interpratation ... eben die Gruberova !!!!

[@AKLHWO]

WOW! Mesmerizing - musically and visually... and the voice! Conductor in good humour!

[@nopejustnope]

Her intonation and vocal dynamics are incredible!

[@leelaturanga5461]

Rest in peace, beloved diva.

[@MrCuddlyable3]

It takes some nerve for a mature (47) singer to tackle the doll Olympia's gyrations but when the result is as note-perfect and charming as this performance, who dares complain?

[@victoriamiller2383]

What in the world does her age have to do with the price of tea in China?

[@IsetMeritAmon]

@Victoria Miller It is usually inevitable to lose some of the quality of the voice as we age. It even happened to Callas.

[@IsetMeritAmon]

@MrCuddlyable3 I think she did even better here than another interpretation of hers of the same aria in the 80's!

[@janetflier6192]

She REALLY has the, "Doll behaviors", down pat! ( as well as the singing!)

[@fidulario]

@@IsetMeritAmon You missed the joke. Read the whole question...

[@888RustamMuradovMusician88]

Angel from sky.

[@fabriziolamari5094]

La Gruberova mi ha sempre incantato per come sa' sapientemente usare il Suo strumento vocale senza mai forzare eppoi per la Sua grande capacità di interprete attrice!!!! Una GRANDE del PALCOSCENICO!!!!

[@raquelcordero4132]

Sublime. Excepcional, irrepetible. Simplemente Excelencia.

[@Serhii_Uk]

Фантастическая Эдита!

[@donschwellenbach5461]

Glad her performance is on recording.

[@vettegaddia6234]

She's good here. Very clean and no scooping.

[@Schlemiel-schlimazel]

Her little moments where her mainspring needs to be re-wound are absolutely hilarious! Very subtle!

[@sadesade9628]

Perfect

Een strot als geen andere. Machtig. Betoverend. Geen gegil, wel glasheldere, haarzuivere, fluwelen tonen. Bedankt voor het uploaden.

[@thegreatagnesbaltsa3948]

How charming

[@L8619]

FLAWLESS!

[@МаринаТоропицина]

Блестяще! После такого пения сложно слушать кого-то из современных певиц

[@ilseilse3824]

Ja, sie ist brillant. Es gibt einige wenige Sänger …. aber was meinst du genau? Es gibt in der neuen/ neumodischen Musik auch Sänger die sehr gut sind. Wenige auf der Seite der Oper und wenige auf Pop Musik. Volksmusik ist gut ( aber auch da, super Künstler und welche die ein schlechtes Gehör für sich selbst haben. Ich freue mich Majestra Gruberova zu sehen und hören- .. sie ist mit dem Belcanto sehr sehr sehr gut😘❤️🥰

[@vaughangarrick]

Oh wow what a gem

[@reinaldounico7296]

Fantástica , un deleite para la vida ,

[@chwjordy1]

So perfect

[@dianaantonova8414]

Brilliant.

[@LadyKristiina]

Bravo Edita!!!!!!!!!

[@mariezenaida]

I agree with you. She does this A LOT in the video The Art of Bel Canto. But this performance was actually quite good, I thought. She is a rather realistic doll too.

[@valeriomessersi1016]

Bravaaaa !!!!!! 👍

[@mariacalderon1960]

Mágica

[@cossieopera]

In the top 5 greatest for me

[@LiliyaSholomey]

the best doll even seen! )))) exelent and funny! BRAVA EDITA !!!!

[@ferdiriordan1]

Extraordinary.

[@FranciscoFerrerGaliana1930]

Maravillosa actuación

[@agapanthe1869]

Excellente interprétation sans ajouter une variation dans les aigus comme le font certaines coloratur pour mettre en valeur leurs aiguës Elle n’en a pas besoin dElle maitrise ses « piano » d’une façon exceptionnelle c ‘est un bonheur bravo

[@brunopicaude3092]

Vous avez raison. Cela dit, dans un air couplet-refrain-couplet-refrain, il est tout à fait licite d'ornementer la reprise, et elle-même ne s'en est pas privée en d'autres occasions.

[@avuncular300]

A wonderful interpretation of this favourite. All coloratura sopranos perform differently giving a unique and personal stamp to this aria. I thought that this performance one of the best I have heard. Bravo ! By the way, she looks very like our (British) actress, Joan Sims in her prime and that is a compliment indeed !

[@Tenortalker]

Yes she does look like Joan Sims a bit here. Edita G was always great in arias which required wit and humour. I just love the total mastery of her voice and range of dynamics she uses to bring Olympia to life. Superb!
