Renee Fleming & Joyce DiDonato Aria Duet Ah guarda sorella- Cosi fan tutt Opera By Mozart

Performance at the Richard Tucker Gala in 2007. I have no copy rights.

[@maxmaxime8380]

My three heroes : Fleming, DiDonato and Mozart ... magnificent....

[@andyschnabel5225]

Only Mozart can make women's gossip this beautiful :)

[@ERSCAUS]

When these two sing together, I hear liquid gold!

[@cinziavidali411]

Così fan tutte è un tesoro di pezzi per la combinazione soprano-mezzosoprano

[@wilsonwatt9283]

This seems to be a match made in a Mozartian heaven. Both singers have a perfect understanding of Mozart's style and the perfect vocal quality for their roles.

[@annedwyer797]

WOW! I'm not big into opera, but lately I've been getting into Renee Fleming and Joyce DiDonato; they're both fantastic, and humble, gracious people too. I also kind of love that they're American women from middle-class backgrounds.

[@kagitsune]

Yes! They both seem so chill and down to earth 😊

[@kbhprinsesse]

Not a bad place to start

[@thelma6222]

j'aime particulièrement ces deux cantatrices, mais si j'ai eu le bonheur de les voir et les entendre, seules, j'apprécie ce duo qui marie si bien leurs superbes voix

[@frogmouth]

Fantastic. Thank goodness the sound was better than the blurry visuals. But the acting talent came through the fog successfully. What fun , what a joy! Great combination of beautiful voices.

[@mikemidulster]

' I think we pulled it off'. What an understatement - this is nothing short of historic!

[@mgparis]

Precisely - so humble! :)

[@mckavitt13]

Michael Craig I think her remark is reasonable. Concert versions don’t always “come off”. This one does! But “nothing short of historic? What’s historic about it? Let’s not exaggerate.

[@albertbauli]

@@mckavitt13 well, these two are two of the greatest voices of their time and they are seldomly heard together. This is historic.

[@mckavitt13]

@@albertbauli These two... and they are seldom. Your opinion.

[@albertbauli]

@@mckavitt13 Offcourse it is my opinion. Also, "seldomly" is correct. If you are so arrogant as to correct other's spelling, at least do it right.

[@cotaitcirce9]

You don't hear Fleming do that much Mozart, whereas Joyce is the heir to Fredrica Von Stade when it comes to Mozart. I love Fleming's lush interpretation and the way she, as Fiordiligi, takes herself so seriously. She's the deep one and then Joyce is the sassy Dorabella ready to fling herself into this new adventure. They are the perfect contrast to each other, just like sisters often are.... I admit I love Kiri Te Kanawa and Von Stade the best, but these two give us a real treat!

[@sandywaddell4303]

Fleming used to sing more Mozart - she retired the Countess from her rep ages ago, I guess.

[@rockalittl]

Gorgeous! What an amazing performance. Their voices are just heavenly together. I know I am in love when there are chills and when I find myself yelling out,” yes, Joyce...yes!” numerous times throughout lol

[@frogmouth]

What fun! The sheer enjoyment is so engaging. And the voices, their instruments, so strong, so sweet and agile. A joy from beginning to end.

[@BiBaBo49]

Oh what harmony of those two marvelous voices! As was said before - what a shame they don't perform together more often.

[@brendajanetho5884]

BiBaBo49 well said !

[@mckavitt13]

BiBaBo49 Why don’t they? Do you know?

[@janetflier6192]

I would guess they have too many other commitments!

[@brentmarshall928]

Wonderful. A Mezzo and a Soprano . World class.

[@gracealzamora9774]

Mozarts best with these voices are together in perfection unison all geniuses Thank you for a miracle of beauty.

[@drewbrennan6855]

Absolutely fabulous! I can’t stop listening! Congratulations!

[@svitlananetreba6017]

FIORDILIGI Ah, guarda, sorella, Se bocca più bella, Se petto più nobile Si può ritrovar. DORABELLA Osserva tu un poco, Che fuoco ha ne' sguardi! Se fiamma, se dardi Non sembran scoccar. FIORDILIGI Si vede un sembiante Guerriero ed amante. DORABELLA Si vede una faccia Che alletta e minaccia. FIORDILIGI Io sono felice. DORABELLA Felice son io. FIORDILIGI E DORABELLA Se questo mio core Mai cangia desio, Amore mi faccia Vivendo penar

A dark soprano and a light mezzo...interesting.

[@katherinewilson1853]

I love it!

[@raarnoldra]

LOLOL!

[@kagitsune]

They're both so great and complement each other so well! 😊

[@LornaKellyZim]

Brava moltissimo

anyone know which documentary is this? I am trying to find it in full length...

[@user-xu7pg7iw4i]

Супер!!!С точки зрения ансамбля -фантастика!Трудно представить более совершенное и слитное исполнение.

[@canterlevi]

Waiting for the DiDonato bashers to show up and talk about her high larynx and lack of chest voice...

[@amadealeonore-saxophonesat9806]

Do wild birds have dresses? Or do they SING? AL ARTISTs UNITE, Jan. 2017

[@Unbiasedlistener]

A marvelous performance, Sound is good, but this upload is spoiled by such poor quality video. Does anyone have a good version, I would love to see this again if it is produced somewhere nearer to HD. I use a modest size screen ~19 inch but this 144p definition is just not up to scratch at any size,.

[@mentor_happy]

Блистательно!

[@boxy302]

is there a better quality version on youtube somewhere?

[@CwjrB3]

No. Not that I know of. I tried to get the best version possible.

[@zorroofgarland]

Is there a Hidef version anywhere!!!

[@CwjrB3]

I tried to look all over for a louder one and I couldn't find one.

[@CwjrB3]

but if your can you can download the video and use an app like Imovie and make it louder, that's what I do.

[@rosaf19]

How come she says, "I think we pulled it off," at the beginning? Was it last-minute or something?

[@kaitlynclem9148]

+Rosa Frank Joyce actually talks about this in another clip of her singing Una voce poco fa from the same event. She was flown in from Switzerland the morning of the gala to replace another singer (Susan Graham I think, actually) who had dropped out last minute. It's likely that they only had an hour, if that, to rehearse together before performing.

[@trab49]

+Kaitlyn Clem If that's true it makes this already phenomenal performance even better! Their synchronicity amazes me!

[@frogmouth]

Yes

[@tamaraseverin4942]

Клас

[@user-tk9bc9dw6k]

Warum Amerikanischen Sänger singen immer mit starken Ausatmen Geräusch?

[@nathaliatorres3407]

Joyce sounds like Soprano here than Fleming 🤣🤣🤣

[@CwjrB3]

Interesting. I thought she was originally when I first got into classical music. Lml.

[@mckavitt13]

Nathalia Torres That does not bode well. 😕

[@janetflier6192]

Aurrgh!! The video and sound are not in synch!

[@mattiheiskanen597]

If you like the new way of singing, this is fantastic. If You like the original, this is not so good.

[@tl5938]

well, joyce sounds more like a soprano than Fleming...

[@CristinaBolbaran]

I thought the same thing

[@jjh2456]

Fleming has a heavier tone than Didonato, but has a bigger range. Renee can get up there.

[@brendajanetho5884]

Come on ! Human Voices were born to like this !

[@LaDivinaLover]

Vocal weight and color ≠ range...

[@kentst8956]

I think I like both RF and JDD here better than I have heard either of them solo. If it were a competition I would choose JDD. I have never cared much for RF's tone or scooping, though here seems much better than normal.

[@elieli7096]

Watching their masterclasses, it's not hard to see how critical Joyce is of Renee's technique. The scooping, ingolata, interpretation ... Joyce would have none of it.

[@Seekthetruth3000]

There is nothing this beautiful in all of Islam.

[@paules3437]

Sure. Great. But if you want more perfection, watch Susanna Phillips and Isabel Leonard.

[@robert111k]

Pero qué jodidamente cursi es Fleming.

[@robert111k]

¿Se puede ser más cursi que Fleming y más hortera que Di Donato?

[@operalover3966]

I puked listening to this

[@LaDivinaLover]

Maybe go see a doctor then as it can’t have anything to do with their performance.

[@frogmouth]

🤪

[@kbhprinsesse]

Most opera queens puke when listening to proper singing as opposed to camp has-beens screaming their way through a role, trying to be "dramatic".

[@Gabriel21733]

Love them both. However, RF has more style and elegance, without herself being great at picking dresses, anyway (...) But look at DD: HORRENDOUS DRESS! She succumbed to the temptation of an asymmetric collar, chose a dull color that does not do anything for her figure, complexion or inherent style, only placing emphasis on an overall disheveled look. What, she wanted to give the opera a more democratic look? Pleeeeease...

[@bltcrunchy]

I don't agree. They both look beautiful. A reflection of their beautiful voices. And leave politics out of it.

[@Gabriel21733]

+bltcrunchy who are you to tell me or anyone what to do? Are you so stupid you don't get the protocol of commenting on a KZbin video? Write your comment without replying to anyone else's if you disagree. You are an imbecile and surely a simpleton.

[@latraviata2910]

Yes and why not, according to good American tradition, throw god in as well.....

[@DieFlabbergast]

All your criticisms of DiDonato apply equally to Fleming. Both dresses have asymmetrical collars, and they both look disheveled, possibly Fleming the more so. Yet your attack was delivered against DiDonato only. Do you have a personal animus against this woman? If so, keep it to yourself: the rest of us came here to enjoy the music, not to read the rantings of a fashion critic.

[@katherinewilson1853]

Yeah, was going to say. They both could look better, but so what? They sound like absolute angels. I don't care what they look like. !! Love these voices!!
