Una gran soprano todoterreno con una coloratura única y espectacular.

Hey norbart76, thanks for sharing Christina. I've been brought up with Callas but Cristina makes me laugh and enjoy life much more. I've seen her Norma in Amsterdam. She was hudge and tender both. I remeber how she shared her emotions to sacrifice her own child. It was so horrible and real. In that performance I saw her great gift not to share only a beautifull voice but also a beautifull human being.

Cristina Deutekom, la soprano extraterrestre, personne sur cette planète n'a chanté, ne chante et ne chantera comme elle. Son chant stratosphérique nous rend heureux et dans Mozart c'est l'univers et les mystères du Grand Tout qui se manifestent dans sa voix galactique. On remercie et on prie.

Fantastica!

Genial!

[@clefnoteproductions6695]

That Don Giovanni excerpt was priceless. I'm sure totally unplanned, yet hysterical! She had the nerves of steel!

[@evelynkatz1301]

Of course it was planned!!! And well-rehearsed too!!! But you're right, it's hysterically funny........:=)

BRAVAAAAAAAAAAAAA

[@kyleaustin7045]

She was a legitimate coloratura with legitimate high notes (unlike some certain other coloratura soprano, both in her time and our time...)

[@AP-dd3xp]

And most importantly...she has proper chest voice.

Netrebko.

Una voz que indiscutiblemente se le debe llamar “ÚNICA”, aparte era muy bella, actúa muy bien su Abigaile, como actriz era mejor en los Dramas, por ejemplo hay una “Norma” donde en verdad parece que va a matar a sus hijos, su rol favorito fue Lady MacBeth del “MacBeth” de Verdi, y en verdad acentuó cada frase de la Lady de modo único, por su bello rostro y su bella personalidad su rol de Elvira es muy adecuado a ella... ❤️

Some "legato coloratura" by Deutekom (rare) at 17:46

[@magicmonkichi]

She had the wonderful ability to go from "standard legato coloratura" to her own method. For me, I LOVE it!

[@familypondman]

@@magicmonkichi She was the only one, because her voice was so flexible!

[@Smile6784]

ok - so she was no actress - but the voice is something else isn't it?

[@familypondman]

Speak for yourself!!!!!!!!!

[@rafalejandro7]

Que vos más bella. Pero que mala actriz era.

[@georgesbouissou1295]

Je suis sceptique... Lucia et Abigaille ! Je ne crois pas que sa voix aussi solide soit elle résiste longtemps a un tel traitement... G

[@oliviero.m750]

Elle a résisté tout au long de son extraordinaire carrière

[@rooitenen]

She has a great voice, but personally I don't like it! I'm exhausted when I listen to her!. She sings but does not act.

[@gianerajohn436]

So you’re not listening, you’re watching? The most important acting in opera is the singing and the fraseggio. It’s bringing life to the libretto and score. It’s not broadway.

[@kyleaustin7045]

Voice comes first.

[@evelynkatz1301]

Jascha Heifetz once told a student of his, "If you put all that energy you keep wasting on your grimaces and gestures into your music, you'll play much better...." What do expect her to do? To dance? She acts as much as she needs for such an aria, and her singing is so divine that anything else would be too much, distracting us from the real thing, the music. She acts in subtle ways, with expressions and intonations, you can hear her feelings in her voice. And rightly so. She is simply marvellous!!!
