For me personally, this is the best rendition on youtube of this aria. She sang this so beautifully! What an exquisite performance. You can really feel Micaela's vulnerability, fear, and at the same time, her strong will. Every word is spoken so clearly and with such deep emotions.

[@tenorwonjinchoi]

good

[@JudithRodriguez_74]

she looks more angry than afraid

[@maestromuffin1]

try anna moffo!

[@aerasmus2129]

How beautiful Elsa Dreisig sang this area. May God bless her singing career. She is a worthy winner.

Ich bin in dieser Stimme verliebt! Wunderbar reich und schön und weich und ausdrucksvoll. Ich wünsche der jungen Sängerin sehr viel Glück und die beste stimmliche Gesundheit. Eine Kariere macht sie bereits, ich hoffe das sie auf Dauer wird und sie in den besten Theater der Welt führt und das wir, das Publikum, lange Zeit diese wunderschöne Stimme geniessen dürfen.

It's is so nice to hear the French being sung like it should be ... best recording of this in KZbin. I just live we can hear real French singing / diction.

[@marinacaracciolo5940]

Magnifica voce! L'interpretazione è una perfetta fusione di delicatezza e di determinazione. Questa giovane artista farà strada!

[@jeanvandenberghe3239]

Quelle voix magnifique! Interprétation parfaite : sensibilité, subtilité,intelligence, compréhension fine du personnage et de sa situation,de ses sentiments,excellent rendu de cet air magnifique !Personne ne peut même l'égaler !Bravissimo !Un régal !

[@solangeguepratte7501]

Bravo !!ELSA 👍👍

[@parkyeaseul]

I can clearly hear every words she sings. What a wonder voice she has! Love you

[@inesdeerausquin5658]

omg, she IS Micaëla! her very face at the beginning, even before she sings, is perfect. and then she sings and it's even more so! I hope to see her in this role sometime...

[@Kbeuh974]

She did it this summer in France at Festival d'Aix en Provence in a rehabilitation of Carmen by Dimitri Tchiernakov (:

bravisssiimaaa

[@cinziavidali411]

A magnificent voice

[@hfmdeklerk]

Got to this by accident because of the wrong title which should be: Je dis que rien ne m'épouvante. Having set that, Whow! what a beautiful voice. Such melodic interpretation and lovely technical control. In my opinion so far, the best performance of this beautiful aria is by Anna Moffo (rca 1961). And now we have a new one! Hope to see you performing Micaela soon supported by a matching orchestra and conductor. Toi, toi, toi.

[@arnoldamaral7406]

Humphrey de Klerk the last time I heard this was by Romanian soprano Ileana cotrubas I have it on CD Carmen I thought she was Exquisite for the role. This young lady does a beautiful job as well. She has a good bright future congratulations welcome to the met Etc. Arnold Bourbon Amaral

[@CrustyJoeMC]

"C'est des contrebandiers ..." is the preceding recitative

[@MaestroWenarto]

bravissssssssssiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiima

[@tuffstuff8755]

Great voices in this comp.

[@alexgomez2]

What a beautiful voice and persona. She IS Michaela. Her rendition remind me of Ileana Cotrubas, who in my opinion was the best ever Michaela of last century.

[@TheBorasoul]

La mejor interpretacion de esta aria en toda la red

[@Foodies_Morocco]

She is amazingggggg

[@ahava77]

Beautiful

[@salpilemke2953]

Beautifully sing, Bravaaaaa !!

[@samuelkock7693]

One of the most beautiful opera arias ever written. Here is a very good voice.Would someone teach her how to sing more" forward" and over the note. Good though.

[@AfroPoli]

Very nice.

[@songbirdyy]

Brava

[@user-sw2ks7ru9p]

It's nice that she's young and fresh voiced without a wobble and no ingolata. French is good and phrasing is also good. Technically she has a thin and nasal voice with no girare cover or soft palate lift though. As for the best rendition of this aria on youtube, I would look to Mirella Freni's 1963, or Anna Moffo's 1961, or for the absolute best........Eide Norena's 1933.

[@SteveL2012]

I agree, not much of a voice here. In this role, I hear Freni in my head as the ultimate exponent. ❤

[@marthinusvanderwesthuizen4010]

Head resonance par excellence- all the upper particles penetrating one's very soul- it shook me

Obrigado por compartilhar

[@mjdares2749]

Much to like here!

[@Shahrdad]

One of the only women who doesn't look like she's chewing when she sustains a note.

[@jordipanadesribera6890]

👏👏👏👏

[@ernistinedebeer8556]

👌🤩💐💐💐

[@iloveopera1951]

Except good French, there is nothing special in this voice

[@hoffmanelisabeth2137]

vivement qu'elle gagne aux Victoires ce soir. Et en plus, on la comprend très bien. Elle peu tout faire ! Encore mieux que Fuchs et Devielhe ! Une voix rare, un rpertoire étendu...Bravo !

[@evakiseleva8570]

Micaëla with a steady stamina, a warrior instead of an angel? Ok ok... But WHY the winner is flat and sharp here and there???

[@nastasjadjordjevic1267]

I have no idea... And its not only once... To be honest, she is good but not that good. Not a big fan. But that's just my opinion. Yes she has a good diction, but she is so static, and I've already heard this type of voice many times.

[@Dunno133]

All these singing experts! 🙄I wanna see you guys on that stage....

[@kaiserjager2754]

Tempo troppo veloce!!!!

[@kaizercat1013]

No legato, breathing issues, throaty middle. Where is tenderness? It is not Carmen but Micaela.

[@callastoujours]

Kaizer Cat Yeah... I noticed that too. I agree.

[@martinboulanger1008]

She was 25. Only 25. It was Neue Stimme, not Operalia... Not yet...

[@celibidache1000]

@@martinboulanger1008 At 25, with a good teacher, those problems would be easily fixed. Age is not an excuse for bad technique. If it would be the sound of an underdeveloped voice, I could agree, with you. But this is simply the wrong technique.

[@celibidache1000]

...and a lot of very pitchy tones...

[@Dunno133]

“But this is flat and there she’s tense, how dare she!! “ these “professional critics and operas singers” here that would do everything a 100% perfectly. It’s so easy to judge from a comfortable position. singers are not machines!

[@stevenwilliams5360]

excellent overall you would be my winner in this competition--hear me though, the french sound needs a little bit more nasality to bring it forth, even though she is a shy character and in a way very courageous--her French Accent must be 100%. just a thought for later, when you sing it at the met :D

[@MichaelSmith-fh4rn]

LOL! She is French.

[@Amojo711]

isn't she German?

[@NJE100]

No Danish-French, her mum is Danish, her dad is French.

[@arnoldamaral7406]

BBH 1975 . Please stop it doesn't matter Ileana cotrubas was Romanian and she did a spectacular job singing micaella I have the CD of Carmen Etc you don't have to be French to sing it well. Alfredo Kraus is proof of this as well. Arnold Bourbon Amaral

[@eboli7146]

She's French and her French is perfect... opera is not chanson a la Edith Piaf, it is not meant to be nasal.
