Vesselina Kasarova: "Una voce poco fa". G. Rossini

[@jjmezzo]

My god, she made me hear this aria I heard a million times as if for the first time. What a gift and what wonderful support by the director and conductor. This is truly great.

[@cliffgaither]

This was the most original & beautifully-sung versions I've heard. That set-design is as original & beautiful as the singing.

[@christopherpericolosi-king4979]

Love the rich timbre of the low notes!!! Amazing!!

[@LyricSoulProducciones]

Que placer es escuchar esta versión. Realmente maravillosa.

[@JeffroTas]

I'm entranced by her beautiful and powerful voice!

[@gregorchard7881]

Got her on CD about 30 years ago. Still listen to it, an absolute magician...

[@lobhar]

I love power combined with tenderness in her voice.

[@fabiokarkoski2111]

exactly! so confident

[@lasombramagister2668]

I love the cloying richness of her voice. It reminds me of a deep brown overstuffed leather chair that's impossibly comfortable

[@clefnoteproductions6695]

Brilliant set and singing! I love her playfulness 😊

[@harmonybade324]

Most opera fans are so stuffy. It's beautiful and we all love it, and the singers don't need your negativity. Calm down!

[@psalmtone2008]

Tremendous technique and consistency up and down the registers.

[@Restatwork]

Thanks for posting with the libretto and score! It's a great help.

[@kagitsune]

I am a "big fan" of this set... And performance 😁😉

[@Muttonchop_USA]

I'd never wave away that pun.

[@oliverdelica2289]

Ba dum tss

[@carolcheny]

cool that I can see the sheet music and realized that nobody sang it as written...

[@jonlacayo92]

carolcheny It is Bel Canto custom to flourish the music with ones own vocal runs ;)

[@robert111k]

Maybe Berganza. She used to be very respectful of the authors and their sheets.

[@kamilla1960]

It was/is normal and expected to add embellishments in keeping with the musical style of this era.

[@anthonyehrenzweig7697]

She didnt go down for a second time (if you know what I mean). This is really a role for a contralto not a mezzo & we have enough roles for sopranos as it is without turning this one into some useless hybrid.

[@christopherpericolosi-king4979]

That's a key characteristic of singing Bel Canto!

[@BubuMarimba]

Una voce bella!

[@rainonline1]

Красива,артистична и толкова талантлива!

[@daniel_5606]

Una mezzosoprano con muy buenos agudos y Buenos bajos, ella no puede envidiar a las sopranos... xd, encima tiene coloratura... OMG

[@FranzBlumVan1890]

Es mas común para una mezzo tener coloratura, puesto que su tessitura siempre permanece a la mitad..

[@rainhedestreves]

Is a contralto coloratura

[@dodtod2306]

Wonderful, Bravo.

[@fabiovaldevit9146]

Che voce stupenda ...bravissima ..piú contralto che mezzosoprano....da sentirec nella parte di azucena in terovatore ..

[@operaforever13]

Precious voice - powerful and smooth

[@JuliaGrigorian123]

that's one of my favorit arias, no tragedy, just joy of life and humor!

[@donggihan2156]

Brava! what a performance!

[@greyhoundmama2062]

Damn what pipes

[@delfinulalbastru]

SUPERB!!!

[@grumpyinbrooklyn6347]

Exquisite!

[@andysbg77]

She is the one and only Rosina!!!!! Seen her twice in Vienna in this role!!!

[@georgesyankoff1030]

Brillant d'avoir ajouter les paroles enfin je peux lire et suivre en même temps.Merci.

[@the8thchurch461]

Excellent.

[@oxanakuklina7518]

Такой тяжёлый голос для этой арии, но какая же артистичная! Красивый, глубокий, пластичный голос! Момент с шоколадкой просто блеск))

[@ekaterinalenkova6080]

Голос по технике совершенно не тяжёлый,она прекрасно справилась с колоратурой,он необычен для этой арии тембром.

[@ALEX-tz9tj]

Да где же он тяжелый??????? Даже легковат

[@NotYetBaroqueN]

What a set!

[@alarchwen6123]

Lovely depth to the low notes.

[@ALEX-tz9tj]

Brava!

[@Angelicantar]

DIVINA

[@shartrezlittle8952]

she is great

[@yuriyanagida]

It's amazing 😊

[@marinakralik1977]

so inovative..

[@aidaklotschkova2134]

Брависсимо

[@ollikaren9039]

Best aria today

[@lauraneiravoz]

Gracias!

[@Mimi-ey5ej]

I saw Kasarova and Florez in all 7 performances of Barbiere in 2001! They were THAT good.

[@vickyarbat1351]

Genial

[@sudriers]

Muy buena la inclusión de la partitura junto con la actuación. Soy nuevo en esto de la ópera y me pareció que no fue muy estricta con la partitura. Supongo que se deberá al director y no a ella. ¿Es así o fue una impresión mía? Gracias.

[@jonlacayo92]

Roberto Martínez Es costumbre del estilo de musica bel canto de tomar la libertad de improvisar escalas vocales ;)

[@nathalydavilajara-mezzo5323]

estoy de acuerdo con Jonathan, mezzo que se respeta incluye siempre sus propias coloraturas, creo que por eso es tan hermoso escuchar distintas versiones, demuestran la habilidad musical de cada cantante

[@sudriers]

+Nathaly Davila Muchas gracias por tu explicación. Y si, es hermoso oír distintas versiones.

[@evilpony2660]

Mis profes me enviaron a estudiar esto porque mi voz es agil... pero hay q ver si mi cerebro puede😅😅😅😅

[@zimnaya]

What's with the chocolate biscuit and the test-tubes of coloured liquids? This is an eccentric interpretation and much better listened to than watched. The tone and delivery was somewhat more matronly than we are used to with Rosina. It's not the voice of a naughty, mischievous adolescent, but nonetheless impressive.

[@vonmorris5948]

The original version of the aria is in G and is meant for a contralto to sing it. The key has been changed to suit Sopranos and mezzosopranos.

[@GH-vu4qm]

I thought she was referring to Lindor chocolate 🙄

[@alkssmith9762]

Too magnificent probably? - this has to have a lot of playful mode?

[@fernandoreybello5362]

No se porqué, pero me gustan mas las piezas sin actuación, solamente centradas en el canto.

[@anthonyehrenzweig1635]

She doesnt sing all the low G sharps. This is a contralto aria. When will we ever hear a proper contralto signing it?

[@classic528]

Ewa Podleś

[@lil_weasel219]

The chem tho 🤣

[@germanquintero10121946]

DELICIOSA

[@jimwigler]

What's all that distracting perfume stuff? She's talking to the audience!

[@alejandrasarauz5608]

du bist shön

[@lara-fi4ww]

Since when did it become the Chemist of seville. Not bad, but not very good

[@alanmarshall3266]

+Lara Tan That's Dr. Bartolo's house, not Figaro's shop.

[@bogdiworksV2]

love is chemistry...

[@saula.fantauzzi]

I prefer the version of Cecilia Bartoli, but this is also a great performance

[@azizmutlu5076]

biji roje min EV Deng hiskir

[@bethanear123]

Beautiful voice,darling! Congratulations!But not for this aria!

[@beowulfstark9369]

Looks like Jack Ma, hahahaha

[@malcolmfraser6556]

This mess is just another example of producers thinking that they they are more important than the composer.

[@sergol2876]

one of the worst versions ever. small notes mostly ignored
