Anna Netrebko - ah, non giunge (sonnambula)- Bbc PROMS 2007

[@togenichayavok2872]

I love Anna Netrebko. No matter what people say, in real life she has a volume that is out of this world, I love her personality too.

[@danielastollsoprano]

1:44 I've never heard this note as beautifully sung as here with Netrebko

[@alecvillavilla9978]

You have probably never heard an actual light soprano in this role!

[@danielastollsoprano]

@@alecvillavilla9978 Fascinating how I can make a purely positive comment on KZbin and still get judged for it.

[@dralexandresousa]

I have never seen La Sonambula this slow. Having it this slow makes it 3 times harder to sing, to use much more effort to keep the legatos on time and in tune and much more exhausting to sing. I never conducted or even heard this played so slowly. Congrats to Netrebko to keep her performance on point. She has a very generous voice, very charismatic, democratic and easy listening. As said here, she is pop, in a very good way.

[@DiomedesDioscuro]

Democratic?

[@dralexandresousa]

@@DiomedesDioscuro Yeah. It's not every single singer that is "easy" to listen. Sometimes because of the repertoire, sometimes because the singing which is very hard to appreciate (i'm not saying that it's bad singing, just some stuff which makes that singer hard to listen, for example, it's not everyone who listen to Igenborg Danz or Cecilia Bartoli as much as people listen to Callas or Netrebko). In the political subject.... Well, I must say that democracy is not her best note......

[@Yves_Ka]

because she cant sing it faster - one can hear her struggling to keep up. Coloratura was never her thing

[@dralexandresousa]

@@Yves_Ka Yeah, I know. I didn't say it was bad, actualy, I loved it this way.

[@jackylen57]

[@daniel_5606]

Anna no tiene nadita de coloratura pero lo compensa con potencia, claridad y belleza..😄🌹👏

[@mariandearaujo1514]

Beautifully wonderful !!!!

[@oscarjacobi7302]

anna maravillosa

[@alvaroblanco3564]

La más grande. Muchas gracias

[@МирамкулИсмайлова-г5х]

Анна я тебя люблю,обожаю,слушаю,без тебя не могу жить!

[@mstreepnegron]

Maravillosa como siempre.

[@audiolab1962]

A crowd pleasing aria A crowd pleasing performance Just listen to them applaude Do not really need to comment, other than shame about the audio breaking up. Bloody marvellous.

[@ilfranchi]

Totally in love with the black chorister at 3:03 slightly dancing with his shoulders at the music

[@bigdigger87]

Her voice does sound a bit pushed in this song. I agree with everything you said

[@wallshootout5616]

Anna ist zwar fantastisch,aber ich gebe doch Maria Callas den ersten Platz!! ❤❤❤❤Wunderschöne Performance trotzdem!

[@chuntsiack]

Her voice is beautiful. This aria is so fast, i love it!

[@18moptop]

@Serinia4melodic Obviously you don't understand the work that goes into preparing these pieces or you wouldn't be making comments like that. I am a music major at a major university that has a world renowned program. I have also worked on and sung this piece so I know just how much work goes into it. There is no way she worked just minutes a day on this piece, otherwise she wouldn't even be able to get up there and sing it. It may not be the best in your opinion but at least respect the artist.

[@09avenger]

Nertebko haters do not care about the quality of her performances. They trash everything of hers under condition of anonymity. The good thing is that everyone already knows their names (thrugman30, striker etc) and the longer they do that the more pathetic they look. Anna is going GREAT and her voice has doubled in the last couple of years. So, respond to their insulting comments, when you can, and haters would not feel in a safe heaven (like Taliban before 2001).

[@zasesdea]

i love her high note jajajajajajaja i love her hair and she has and incredible necklace and beauty dress

[@CMOSjockey]

You know, this is all kind of sad. She has been pushed to make her voice supposedly bigger and creamier, and she is punishing a voice that could be exceptionally beautiful. Besides the fact that this aria is really not for her,listening to her crash and bully her way through the colouratura is really painful. She needs better advice and guidance.

[@АннаЩепелева-л5г]

Умничка

[@juandelgado7083]

🖤

[@MelWolff]

She's pop...I mean in a good way. I love her. She's different. Not exactly good for this role, but she's having fun. That's way people love her.

[@TheSusu1969]

Anna die Grosse❤❤❤

[@MisterSoprano]

@JudaMaccabeus I agree! She should stay in the repertoire she does good. I've heard Gruberova last week in concert - at 63 she was singing in beautifully!

[@gabriellevampyre]

good high Eb! Netrebko is fantastic not for this rol but i like her performances

[@DiomedesDioscuro]

She used to be quite a good singer. But then...

[@rdeccp44]

Anna Netrebko has a beautiful voice, but it's such a pity that she won't sing the lyric repertory that she's so well suited for, like La Boheme, War & Peace (which I saw her sing) and instead insists on singing bel canto parts by Donizetti and Bellini. I saw Sutherland do "La Sonnambula" and the ornamentation was included, making the music vibrant--it's the way it's supposed to be sung. If you want to hear someone today who can sing the music correctly, please play Eglise Guitterez on UTube

[@gaemp]

@dks880 you are right... a nice screaming girl ....

[@Aspett0]

I like Netrebko's voice, but it is way too heavy for this aria, I don't think la sonnambula's a good role for her.

[@eliasbarberenarojas1364]

What a horror, their gorged screams are very good!

[@spqrmor]

Today I'm the happiest man in the world! I succeded to see AN' live performance in Boheme at Mariynskiy Theatre.There was a full OVATION! AN is amazing, real professional,looks like Goddess, sounds like Queen of Opera.She's slim and in a good fitness shape!

[@gaemp]

@09avenger close your eyes and try to listen... the result is really different!!!

[@Lizzyjean5]

some awesome moments. Way better than any of you nay-sayers would ever be able to dream of doing.

[@marvelsofiran9770]

Fantastic!

[@gaemp]

@gaemp sorry, I don't know Sara Brightman I'm Italian and fortunately we have some filter...:)

[@artdanks4846]

This was when she used to be fairly good (although with strained highs, and sluggish "coloratura")! At least she didnt have as much a muffled sound as she does now, trying to sound like a "dramatic soprano" (fake)!

[@gaemp]

@serenaluce sorry, I don't have a CD of Bocelli and just an old Rigoletto with Pavarotti... so you can understand what I mean for "filters". If I want to listen to duets I have Frank Sinatra...

[@18moptop]

@TheVaughan5 Everyone has there own interpretations of the aria. And why would she try to sound like Joan Sutherland with a voice like hers? She is just as professional as Ms. Sutherland and they both are great in their own ways. I think calling her incompetent is a very rude and unnecessary comment. Also, I don't think they would have asked her to sing this if she was incompetent. Not many people can sing this aria well so I respect her for it.

[@rynelee4469]

No flexible voice, she absolutely can not handle this song by so much detail..... It's almost a disaster.

[@whatever4929]

BRAVA!

[@I_go_around]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@Serinia4melodic]

@18moptop oh i do respect her and like some of her roles... but my opinion about her bel canto lies already written. And I understand very well how difficult it is to sing any role. She said she only workes 10 min a day in like all her documentaries oO it`s like her trademark... personally I don`t really believe her either.

[@gaemp]

@IrinaMataeva51580 are you her cousin or what..?? :)))))

[@dougbarker3019]

A characteristically tasteless, over-sung and sometimes vulgar performance.

[@BrigittaSteinacher]

Brava!

[@Bacchusmbt]

Out of tune and wrong voice for this music.

[@carlacancellara]

A Netrebko tem uma voz lindíssima, mas não tem a ver com o Bel Canto!!!!

[@pointemeout]

please

[@guiradobrasil]

@cacancellara Concordo plenamente, não possui a agilidade necessária

[@gaemp]

@lubomierz180 yes, nice girl.. but nothing else!

[@AnnaMariaBarbastefano]

THERE IS NO HUMAN LANGUAGE ALL OVER THE WORLD THAT EXPRESSES SO MUCH BEAUTY. BEAUTIFUL FANTASTIC VOICE EXTRAORDINARY COMPOSITION. ANNA NETREBKO I T HINK IS THE BEST OF THE BESTS AT THE MOMENT.. UNBELIEVABLE VOICE. SOUND OF HEAVEN.

[@gaemp]

1) I don't know who Sara Brightman is 2) AN should be proud to have another fan... 3) take it easy and listen to much more singers, you could learn someting more...

[@pointemeout]

pretty please

[@Luna-nj9zd]

Not a patch on Callas, Caballè or even Sutherland. She just shouts.

[@serenaluce]

@gaemp of course, you can have your own taste and express your own opinion. But what you do is just being rude with Netrebko's fans! I agree with avenger, Anna is great , and I'm proud too to live at the same time when she has her prime time! You confuse her with Sara Brightman, a product of modern showbusiness! Anna is a real singer! What do you mean that spqrmor "fell in love with her"?! We, AN's fans, are all in love with her VOICE! First YOU should learn how to communicate!

[@gaemp]

@spqrmor probably you fell in love with her or somethig similar... I have my own taste, sorry if you can't accept that. You should liste to real singers, not to product of modern music business. Screaming is not singing.

[@serenaluce]

@gaemp The whole world knows Sara Brightman. What filter do you have if Andrea Bocelli sings with her and contributed into her popularity too?:-) You've never heard their duets from a concert recorded several years ago and shown all over the world - Con te partiro' (which they called Time to say good bye) and Guarda, guesta terra...? If you are Italian I hope the name of Bocelli is familar to you? Or you know only Pavarotti?

[@09avenger]

Beautiful beyond belief! Dear Anna, I can compare you no no one with your lustrous, magnificent voice, golden tone and stunning physical beauty you a real Diva, and you are a goddess! Thank you for filling our lives with joy and happiness! I am so happy to exist in your time. /////////////////&&&&&&&

[@WiccAngel]

it is a very poor interpretation.

[@TheAlessandra1986]

Yes, the voice is too dark for this repertoire and poor in aglities, this kind of voice can be appreciated better in other ouvres such as Turandot, or something like this. Although the voice sounds really good, but I repeat, it doesn't fit for this repertoire.

[@serenaluce]

@gaemp 1)You don't know that quasi classical singer Sara Brightman? Such an expect in screaming! She is a real product of modern showbusiness, not Netrebko! Listen to her at last and then judge. 2) Anna has more fans than you think! 3) Take it easy too and listen to more singers before judging about screaming! How come you are so good in pushing the button "reply" to AN's other fans and forgot to do it for me?

[@stolof]

I don’t have any strong opinion about Ms Netrebko in general, but seriously; this is simply not very accomplished singing and light-years from true bel-canto.

[@carlberg7503]

Not the best coloratura technique.

[@zlata.toshevska]

Can't agree more on the bel canto, she's horrible. She's great with the russian pieces.

[@josefranciscoalvarez-buyll8358]

¿cómo es posible qué nadie pueda cnsurar esta maravillosa interpretación?

[@elisabetta611]

Awful beyond belief.

[@andehuang5479]

A MIAAAAAAA TASAAAAAR........LA RANA DALLA BOCCA LARGA. Direzione fracassona degna dei proms

[@toupelitidl]

La voix est magnifique, mais la technique d'agilité et les trilles, c'est vraiment pas ça du tout. C'est très brouillon, souvent savonné, pas précis. On dirait qu'elle n'a pas travaillé en détail cette cabalette. C'est dommage, surtout pour une chanteuse qui ne chante quasiment que du bel canto. Soit elle ne devrait plus chanter ce répertoire (vu que Mimi ou Micaëla lui vont à merveille), soit elle devrait travailler pour devenir une vraie belcantiste.

[@gaemp]

@spqrmor you don't understand communicating too... it's a waste of time...

[@eugenelohks]

@JudaMaccabeus what is? she's mediocre at best at everything she does, in my opinion... her Russian opera roles are only considered 'good' because of authenticity!
