Jessye Norman - A Portrait - Dove Sono (Mozart)

[@jenniferhochschild4689]

Rest in peace, beautiful woman with such a gorgeous voice. Thank you.

[@dorothydanso9820]

With Madame Norman , every word is clearly enunciated regardless of the language she sings in. Just watching her sing is a masterclass for every opera singer in training.

[@dorothybonnee1329]

Watching Madame Norman sing is a Masterclass in itself. Her elucidation and her diction is without comparison.

[@monicacall7532]

She now sings with the angels and leaves us with music of unsurpassed beauty. Rest well dear lady.

Miss Norman sings whatever she damn well pleases!!!

[@ERSCAUS]

Unbelievable artistry. Thank you Jessye for all the wonderful years of filling my soul with the magic of music. You made my life richer indeed.

[@ERSCAUS]

No matter how many times I listen to Jessye sing this, my sentiment turns from 'like' to 'LOVE'.

[@wTrevorh]

Her voice was created for Dove Sono. Absolutely brilliant!

[@DieFlabbergast]

No, it wasn't. It was created for Strauss's Four Last Songs. :)

[@musicprag]

The best voice ever.

[@leonardilaurenti9819]

Here, I thought Ms Jerssye Norman would not be able to sing this song. In fact, I had never heard a daramatic soprano sing "Dove Sono" before now. It is awe-inspiring...YES...YES...YES! When I say to folks that Ms. J. NORMAN is ONE OF THE WONDERS OF THE WORLD, I say so without one ounce flattery. Indeed, IT IS THE TRUTH! Incroyable. ..incredible...increible...incredibile!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Yes!

[@ERSCAUS]

I have returned to this artist for comfort in this Corona time of my life. Thank you Jessye, once again.

[@tonykelly1334]

I used to listen to Kiri Te Kanawa's version and only discovered this. Jessye Norman's is in a different league. Sublime, superb. Truly divine.

[@paora7122]

Certainly a lot more showy. Better? That's debatable.

[@DieFlabbergast]

@@paora7122 Define "showy." Then, maybe there will be a debate.

[@paora7122]

@@DieFlabbergast "Showy" wasn't the best word. More "Pop" or easy listening - the way I would expect Sarah Brightman to sing it. Quite different to Kiri's or Elizabeth Schwarzkopf's version. I don't dislike Norman's version but prefer it sung the way Kiri sings it.

[@DieFlabbergast]

@@paora7122 How about "correct"? As in "the way Mozart intended it to be." Ms. Norman was the consummate professional, as descriptions of her singing by innumerable leading conductors attest: the idea that she would "popularise" a Mozart aria is simply inconceivable. I can only suppose that you have some sort of personal agenda.

[@paora7122]

@@DieFlabbergast I actually confused myself. I thought I was commenting on Jessye singing Strauss - Four Last Songs. Oops. lol

[@simonea.3742]

Bravissima,che bella mezzosoprano,Ich liebe Mozart e nella tua voce questa aria è piena di emozione. Adesso Io sto piagendo moltissimo,tu Dame Meravigliosa e Spledita Stella stare cantando con mein groβer meister W.Amadeus Mozart.Liebe,Jessye Norman❤

[@GunLily]

She is absolutely gorgeous in every way, as is this rendition!

[@tippi02]

When the divine Jessye Norman meets the divine Mozart! This voice is beyond emotions. Such a performance make us better only listening the music. It's the art in its perfect way.

[@versailles1986]

A "true" Diva in every sense of the word. Style, Wisdom, Grace, Beauty, Class, Talent, Poise. And still a very down-to-earth woman with a heart of gold! Yes, she is a Big Woman. I have seen her walk on stage, and it's like the Titanic! She has a commanding presence. You just know you are in the company of greatness. And her speaking voice.. still music, my god, the woman could read a phone book and make it sound like Shakespeare! I am 45, and have loved Mozart all my life, she nails this!

[@rexsojo]

Jessye! A voice & human being so beautiful! Stunned the moment I heard her live!...and she lives on...

ESPLÊNDIDA , MAGNÍFICA , FENOMENAL ... , !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Q SAUDADES , DE JESSE NORMAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@m.antoniosims342]

Ms Norman had the remarkable ability to completely immerse herself in the texts, the melodies and the music of her repertoire. She understood the majesty of her incredible instrument and she recognized that her voice had multiple layers and that it was not set solely in mezzo! Her technique and the way she fully supported her notes is something that cannot be taught. She indeed possessed an extraordinary voice and she is surely missed! Bravo Ms. Norman on a life well lived and for sharing your gifts with us. She was truly a citizen of the World!!❤

[@ALYSSA09MUSICSTARS]

Breathtaking, wonderful, unique, the best singer in our time - this all is Jessye Norman for me. I enjoyed her in her concert-evenings in Switzerland some times, I know almost every tone of her great voice, but its always again like magic. To give her some stars is not enough, for her I give the whole universe.

[@DouglasModig]

She is a phenomenon and as a dramatic soprano with one of the most powerful voices in the world and yet, whith her usual stamina, she proves everybody wrong...Like Bartoli she cares little for tradition and can sing most anything...

[@tonykelly1334]

This is perfection. I just love Jessye Norman's singing quality. Divine, sublime and heavenly. A joy to listen to over and over and over again.

[@jeanpierredevos3137]

Mozart needs a combination of extraordinary skills of the voice and an amazing intelligence to understand his music. Jessye Norman had both. Stunning performance.

[@AriD2385]

@tensae7 I so agree. I didn't realize it until reading your comment, but I think that's why I always feel so mesmerized watching Jessye Norman sing--it's not just her voice, but also her inner spirit, her whole manner. Just overwhelming beautiful.

[@lalidolgopolova761]

[@edgreisl1]

One of the greats of all time ! Rest with the angels, gorgeous ❤️

[@jotge.3444]

Wunderbar wie diese große Stimme auch sehr lyrisch singen kann. Das ist die wahre Kunst. Sie war einzigartig.

[@rosemaryallen2128]

The voice is glorious beyond measure, but what impressed me was how every nuance of sound supported the emotional sense of the aria. The same musical expression of intellectual understanding that characterises the very greatest performers, notably, of course, Maria Callas.

[@tensae7]

The feeling and demonstration of Gods love - is truely evident in Ms Normans voice, singing and performance - brava! Brava!

Does anyone know when she recorded this / what year is this recording from?

[@jotge.3444]

Es wäre immer hilfreich wenn das Aufnahmedatum dabei wäre.

[@midwestgal8]

Search around for some of the videos actually recorded live. This does sound great, but, she overdubbed the entire video -- the vocals are not what she was doing while they were filming. Doesn't diminish her talent, but, for classical singing fans, I think something not dubbed is more interesting.

[@Roheryn100]

guy ritchie I agree; it is overdubbed. But still wonderful
