Mozart's Mitridate: Cavata "Se di lauri il crine adorno"

[@pauldaniel8363]

This rendition has become a happy obsession for me.

[@tenorschofield]

Maraviglioso, fu un tenore di grazia veramente extraordinario!!! Bravo Gösta Winbergh (in tutta la tradizione da Björling, Gedda,etc)Bravo!!!

[@shtonker8]

So lovely so tender...tears of joy...

[@tenorschofield]

May The Lord have him on his grace...what superb singer Gösta Winbergh was!!! Great voice, great sensiility, great musicality,etc,all together in one artist, BRAVOOOO!!!!

[@juankemperor]

You are a great tenor too Mr Schofield. Ive seen you performing a long time ago what inspired me to take singing classes and enter El conservatorio de musica nacional.

[@道-p2e]

I did not know him, but I totally agree that it takes a lot in this ONE, overflowing with artistry and everything...hope to grab more of his singing...CDs,

such a grand singing! so deeply moving, Bravo!

[@mscott3918]

Moving, exactly. With superb singing like this you don't have to know the exact words, you can feel the emotion.

[@道-p2e]

@@mscott3918 truly no words, shocked at how many great voices from Sweden!

[@forallyouknow]

It's wonderful how he enters most of the upward leaps in mixed voice rather than the typical ringing chest voice of modern tenors. This is an art today lost.

[@МикитаОлійник-я4ъ]

Sorry, guys, but without amplification these high notes will disappear even in this tender orchestra.

@@МикитаОлійник-я4ъ no, not if rings, and it doesn't need to carry weight in order to ring, it's an entirely vocal tract issue

This is wonderful performance. Powerful voice but also self-control; virtuosity but no overacting. Everything so natural (even those extravagant costumes), so generous. Great Winbergh but I feel Harnoncourt somewhere behind too.

[@mjmacmtenor]

Such amazing lyricism and use of head tones and yet it is a full rich voice (not the wimpy voice of some early music specialists)!

[@mscott3918]

If only there were singers of this quality now.

[@kevinmolinar4822]

[@pianoronald]

Michael Spyres is excellent in this repertoire!

[@Dogaradodia]

Certifié intergalactique! Aimez Gösta Winbergh, le meilleur que je l'ai entendu pour cette aria.

[@georgeursachi7197]

It is one of those EXTRAORDINARY cantabile arias. it's like a river of musical harmony fed by rivers of harmony. the tenor has a gorgeous warm timbre. This voice rivals Pavarotti's. I listened the aria to 200 times.

[@wanderleyreis7233]

BRAVISSIMO !!!!!!

[@ismaelpons]

Interesante rendición de esta difícil aria, sin embargo Wimberg carece del squillo y el color del precioso metal del instrumento insuperable en esta pieza que posee Bruce Ford.

[@theomoolenaar7623]

You could not have put it better.

[@fabriziodiberardino3448]

Gentile Haranoe, qui non si tratta di essere italiani romantici o che sia. Si tenga per lei il suo sorriso. Qui si parla di conoscenza della musica. E ovvio che verdi e verdi e Mozart e Mozart. Due grandi del passato indiscutibili. Si tenga il suo sarcasmo per lei. Avere una apertura mentale e molto importante, piuttosto che essere limitato con dei pregiudizi. Per cresce e andare avanti,bisnonna saper andare avanti con il tempo.la saluto

[@haranoe]

Ovviamente, Mozart è Mozart, Verdi è Verdi, e Carotone è Carotone: è giustamente perché possedo una "apertura mentale" e conosco la musica meglio dell'italiano, e conosco anche la historia de la musica che disdegna "grandi del passato indiscutibili" come Telemann, che posso parlare senza pregiudizi dei pregiudizi "indiscutibili" di quelli che, sarcasticamente, esortano altri a tenere il loro sarcasmo per se stessi.

[@tenorschofield]

@ivanjuarezmex De acuerdo con usted , esta a 415 y no a 440 como estan todos los instrumentos en la actualidad. Bravo, es usted muy observador. Bravo Winbergh!!!

[@MCentusiast]

My two favourites :Jussi Björling and Gösta WinberghOutstanding Mozart Mitidrate by Gösta !

[@perlesbaroquesuniques]

Jussi never sang this...

[@Dogaradodia]

Certified Intergalactic! Gösta Winbergh is the best in this aria.

[@BarokMusik]

In my opinion, not one of the best... BUT THE BEST! Fords version is also good, but not the best. It doesn't have this sense of emotion. But this is simply PERFECT! It can't be done better! VIVO GÖSTA WINDBERGH!

[@Ignasimp]

L'Orfeo di Selandia I find Ford to be faaar more emotional. This felt so cold to me. Emotion is subjective though.

[@Herman6507]

Emotion is what I subjectively miss in Ford's rendition also.

[@mscott3918]

I have listened carefully to both recordings today, several times. My view is that Bruce Ford sings beautifully, but Gosta Winbergh has a depth and power that, for me, puts his version first. But let's be honest, who wouldn't be happy to listen to either? And who could but give their best singing in an iconic building by Palladio?

[@alanalonsogonzalez4109]

El Teatro Olímpico de Vicenza luce aún más bello con la música de Wolfgang.

[@FranciscoFerrerGaliana1930]

Maravillosa Aria

[@TheKickingDonkey]

Mr. Windbergh shows an almost freakish talent here. And the music is bristeling with baroque, no sign of Viennese School yet. Very early Mozart indeed. Fascinating.

[@wagnergalore5866]

TheKickingDonkey I am sure the opera was mostly written by the father Leopold, i.e. the knowledge of that day when the public applauded with "Bravo, Maestro! Bravo, Maestrino!"

[@TheKickingDonkey]

Thanks for the anecdote!

[@mscott3918]

Superb opera. Just watched it all on DVD this afternoon. A rare treat.

[@perlesbaroquesuniques]

@@TheKickingDonkey it's a fact, not an anecdote. It was far more sensational to pass it as the child prodigy's music.

[@TheKickingDonkey]

@@perlesbaroquesuniques Fraud! I want my money back.😄

[@vonspre]

without blinking!!!!!!!!!

[@tenorschofield]

@Thrax1982 I agree with you very much;I also sense that something "extra" was happening in Winbergh "heartfelt" interpretation...probably the inexorable shadow of a "to soon death"?; I guess we will never know, but for sure he is transmiting a great emotion in this aria. I also like very much Bruce Ford version!!!

[@dubbelhenke854]

Bruce Ford is also good but not as moving as Winbergh.

[@tenorschofield]

@@dubbelhenke854 100%agree!!!✌

[@kartikayysola]

[@robertojoaquimdemelo9625]

Bravo, formidável, se Wotan tivesse voz, com toda certeza seria a do Senhor Gosta Winbergh.

[@js59695]

@Dogaradodia What about Bruce Ford.

[@kyrie0033]

No. Está ejecutada en referencia a un La=440. Eso es afinar distinto, no "bajar".

[@XPRT10R]

"Shame" is an expression short for "what a shame". Not at all intending that Winbergh should have been ashamed of anything. Quite the contrary, he was a superbly refined singer, as I said before, from Mozart to Wagner passing thru Stauss. But obviously, in as difficult an aria as this one, the vocal demands of JUST a semitone higher, are infinitely superior and it's hard to compare with those who have sung it at modern pitch, like Sabbatini.

[@aguacun]

This man was a great singer.. but my favourite is Bruce Ford´s version because he sings it a half of tone higher...hehehehe ;)

[@aaronbarber6238]

Same, and the way Ford floats through the crescendos is brilliant. I'm almost there with my high notes, this Aria in Ford's key signature is my ultimate goal. Much respect to this tenor, this is a brutal Aria with voice tension.

[@mscott3918]

Oh just enjoy it and forget semitones and all that pretension

[@ahatettikia]

Where are the appogiatures (se di LAuri) ? What kind of tempo is it ? This gentleman should sing more coperto if he wants to keep his voice. Not awfull, but almost.

[@juliomoralesam1]

ESTA VERSION ESTA BAJADA MEDIO TONO.

[@12Trappor]

Period instruments

[@XPRT10R]

The best vocal rendition of this aria (and not yet appearing on KZbin) is Giuseppe Sabbatini's recording for Decca (With Roussel, Dessay, Bartoli ecc). In the right key, with great empathy, vocal focus, shading between mf and pp to ppp. Also exquisite and refined variations in the the da capo. Listen to it.

[@wagnergalore5866]

Lupo A. Janelli i listened but it is not better that this.

[@Herman6507]

Can you upload?

[@Herman6507]

Then do upload please for all to judge.

[@soloveyrazboynick4124]

No, Sabatini is not at all better. Rather there is an older recording with Werner Hollweg who is superb.

[@ahatettikia]

Et les appogiatures ? Et le da capo ornementé ? Et c'est un "baroqueux" qui dirige !!

[@haranoe]

NON: Harnoncourt, c'était un demi-baroqueux, mais les romantiqueux pourraient bien s'en passer de la différence...

[@cherubello9340]

Al passaggio di registro la voce si sbianca, nonostante il tempo lento che gli viene lasciato. La noia impera, tra falsettini e voce spalancata aperta nel finale, cattiva tecnica, senza alcun palpito. Qui poi occorrerebbe una tecnica superlativa per unire gli sbalzi di altezza e le note basse non suonano per niente. Spyres e Blake sono altro pianeta.

[@fabriziodiberardino3448]

Io penso che lei sbaglia.se ci sofferma su tutto quello che dice lei a questo punto non si ascolta più la musica lirica. Sopratutto con i cantanti di oggi.👎

[@haranoe]

Thank you, Mr condescending.
