Mozart Gran Misa en do m. -10. Et Incarnatus est (Bernstein)

Mozart
Great Mass in c minor kv. 427
10. Et Incarnatus est
Arleen Auger
Symphonieorchester des Bayerischen Rundfunks
Leonard Bernstein

[@gkosloski]

Sublime - a lesson to all singers on a perfect legato. The look on Bernstein's face at the end of the aria tells everything.

[@laurentlemay3921]

On dit que Mozart a composé cette messe pour remercier Dieu d'avoir guéri sa femme qui était souffrante. Quand Dieu a entendu cela, il a dû être tenté de la faire rechuter afin que Mozart lui compose un autre chef-d'oeuvre. Sérieusement,, cet air est absolument sublime, on ne se lasse pas de l'écouter, que l'on soit triste ou joyeux, souffrant ou bien-portant.

[@sarahjones-jf4pr]

If there is an afterlife it is surely bulging at the seams with musical talent, Arleen Auger Leonard Bernstein Mozart........This performance is just unbelievably wonderful.

[@petravrhvrezec]

Wonderful! So calm, sweet, legato ... Uau! The best version I have ever heard.

[@wanzenettl]

And I will add that Arleen Auger was probably the best Mozart soprano ever! No one has ever sung Mozart as beautifully and cleanly as Auger. God rest her soul!

[@TrueConnoisseur]

Certainly the most accomplished soprano of the higher, lighter Mozart. It's hard to ignore the brilliance of other Mozart sopranos like Carol Vaness and Kiri Te Kanawa, in the full lyric Mozart parts.

[@HarveyTruffaut]

Extraordinary What an orchestra What a director What a singer and what a composer, genious, sublime

[@berenicemilhaven4053]

It absolutely is spiritual...she radiates an immeasurable sense of calm and bounty (achieved by her seamless breath control) so the listener feels the presence of an angel..who is saying "I can cope with anything, any ill that befalls you, I am there for you" - wonderful wonderful wonderful

[@haffikromero6312]

The way she reaches those high notes is just inhumane. Bernstein was also just a genius. This is pure art

A zeneirodalom egyik leggyönyörűbb „Et incarnatus est” - je, Mozart c-moll miséjéből: „Megtestesült a Szentlélek erejéből, Szűz Máriától és emberré lett.”

[@robertoconti6969]

Superba interpretazione di Bernstein del 1990 e incantevole la voce di Arleen Auger (era anche una donna stupenda, ma purtroppo è morta già 20 anni fa). Nell'"Et incarnatus est" Mozart permette che soprano e oboe abbandonino tutta l'orchestra e si incamminino in una salita solitaria di suoni che sono perle e cristalli di bellezza.

[@liazorzoli2650]

Cómo lo cantará desde el cielo al lado de Mozart y me imagino a Dios Padre a Jesús La Virgen santa Cecilia y los Angeles disfrutando

[@MTondeleo]

Apart from just about the most beautiful soprano voice this world has heard, can't help noticing the absence of affectation, strange facial contortions, as though she is simply speaking to us, just as natural, while producing those incredible vocal gymnastics. I don't know if it means anything at all, but have noticed the same thing in one I'd consider her male equivalent, tenor Jussi Björling.

[@lilypons13]

Arleen is a Seraphim and her celestial voice is heavenly. She left this earth much to soon, and there is no soprano who can ever compete with her.

[@KOLODNY95]

Bernstein's smile tells us, besides the celestial music, that he has an angel onstage with perfect pitch who glides through her notes with the greatest of ease. Glory be to God for this wonderful music!

[@pascalef2506]

Dieu lui-même est à l'écoute de cette voix, de cette musique.

I played this piece for my son in his first day at our home, after leaving hospital, 2 days after his birth. Watching that little part of me in front of my very eyes, the perfect 'incarnation' of my love for my wife, listening to Mozart, was probably one of the most powerful impressions I will have in my lifetime.

The Annick Massis version comes close, but this is just perfect. She is so perfectly in control of her voice and does not overdo it. She also has such a graceful stage presence about her. Beautiful.

[@prosdocimo]

This is why I LOVE Mozart. This unfinished Mass proves how much he loved Constanze, his beloved wife. This also proves what a great singer she was as it was composed specifically for her voice. Even though the Mass was not finished, she sung it one time in Salzburg when they were visiting family. Mozart was simple a GENIUS!

There is always an incantation against wicked witches and spells. Surely this is one of the liveliest, loveliest, and most unassuming singers I've ever had the privilege of hearing in concert.

[@loverflicko]

Esta actuación es aún más emotiva si pensamos en que Arleen Auger se retiró sólo dos años más tarde, en febrero de 1992, tras diagnosticársele un tumor cerebral maligno en el lóbulo parietal derecho que derivó a un gran blastoma. Tras tres operaciones, falleció a los 53 años en Leusden (Holanda) donde residió durante su enfermedad. Una vez más, Dios quiso llevarse a los mejores consigo... Descanse en paz; a nosotros nos queda su imagen, su voz y su recuerdo: somos, por tanto, afortunados.

[@MoonJung82]

What an outstanding performance by Arleen Auger. When I listen to the Mass, I look forward to this especially (of course, I love the Kyrie too and really the whole work).

[@laupet55]

Even though the vocal quality and beauty is unsurpassed, what makes the performance absolutely unique and deeply moving is in my view the sheer spirituality. Such music to such a text depends on an often undefined spiritual quality to reach a sufficient deep expression. This is an experience never to be forgotten.

[@brookeggleston9314]

Arleen and Lorraine Hunt Lieberson could have been an incredible pair: soprano/mezzo with an amount of musicianship and sensitivity not often found in even the best of singers. It's almost as though they allowed the music to sing itself - they opened their instruments, and what showed forth was ethereal!! We are blessed to live in an age where we don't have to take anyone's word for it - it is there for our ears to hear . . .

[@trevorpope1913]

Thank you for posting this fantastic version. How sad that Arleen lost her life when she was so inspirational and versatile. Her singing sounds and has great feeling. Mozart the genius and Bernstein are perfect companions. Thank goodness for this music to inspire us.

[@jonjon1957jonjon]

Auger was a miracle of vocal technique and production, so much so that she managed to make Bernstein's typically slow and over-indulgent tempo manageable. But seeing the great singer in this clip, the thoughts of my friend Caroline's sister in Chicago come to mind: "Listen, If ye guna ged anywhere in the Miss America Pageant, ye've gotta have BIG HAIR!"

The best "Incarnatus est" I ever heard. This is very first class!!! Its so sad, that Arleen Auger already so long is passing away. Such a voice never is on Earth.

[@tenorsanyone]

Notice at 2:23 that she DOES NOT take a breath as most others are forced to do. Auger simply completes the phrase with no strain at all. Amazing! To my ears, this is one of the many reasons why Auger's interpretation of this aria is the reference standard against which all other are judged.

[@brookeggleston9314]

@@diomarimontoya Keep working on it! Just because you're not close now, that doesn't mean that you'll never get there. Arleen was about fifty years old when this was recorded, and had the advantage of seven years with the Vienna State Opera at the beginning of her career. She had worked for years with great conductors and coaches. Off hand, I'd say she had a bit of an advantage over you! Don't stop pursuing the dream. Keep singing and keep listening to Arleen. Keep making the comparison and trying different ways to produce the sound you want. We each have a singular voice. You will never sound *exactly* like Arleen. However, if you work long and hard, teaching your voice to do the same things Arleen could do, one of these days you're going to listen to your tape and you'll say to yourself, *Hey, not bad!!* Stay safe and healthy!

Brava Arleen Auger. Mozart would loved to have heard this concert, pure Baroque, voice so well placed and tuned that sometimes it so blended with the winds one couldn't tell which instrument it was, voice flutes, oboes etc. I think that Arleen Auger was the soloist at the wedding of Princess Diana and I was so impressed I tried to find her recording of the Mass. She was careful not to let the consonants interrupt the vocal flow in the phrases. Long phrases without breathing were her meta. Bernstien kept the orchestra in perfect flow and volume. Excellent!

I have all of Auger's recordings of Mozart's Great Mass. This one if my favorite version. I was told that this performance was her "last swan song," thus I think is why this version (esp the Kyrie), IMO, sounds the most passionate. I truly believe at this point she knew she was dying. And yet, her voice is still as beautiful and strong as ever, despite befalling such an illness, which is really remarkable to me.

Words fail me. Yes, Arlene died much too early. I had the great honor of working with her. We all knew she was sick, but she shunned any sympathy. She was a humble servant of music, not a cell of a drama-queen diva in her. And being a flutist, I was overjoyed to see & hear Davide Formisano playing this huge flute part, actually the only section of this mass that has flute in it.
