Sumi Jo - Agitata Da Due Venti (Vivaldi)

Opera "Griselda"

[@utoobah]

Now that’s what an actual good sound opera should sound like!!! Well supported, transparent, no wobbly voice or unstable tone,

[@danielmolina81]

I like it... not everyone has to sing as Bartoli, each one has her personal style, and that is all what music is about.

[@poppya54]

Sorry, she has an ampty style.

[@alexalvear7722]

Si totalmente cierto. Aunque de igual manera tanto Bartoli como Sumijo lo hacen espectacularmente cada una a su estilo

[@camilaminuzzizanchetta1816]

I agree, both (Bartoli and Sumi Jo) are great and I love both renditions 😍❤

[@cguzmmang]

No, esta musica debe cantarse como está escrita.

It was the 4/4/2006 in Paris at the Théâtre du Châtelet. Ypu can see me in the middle of the third row. It was a great evening and a triumph for Sumi-Jo with a great parisian public!

[@FloriaTosca90]

I love both Sumi Jo and Cecilia Bartoli in this aria!!!

[@supawels3627]

Wenn man diese brilliante Leichtigkeit mit manchen anderen Versionen vergleicht, wächst die Erkenntnis: Sumi Jo ist einfach das absolut höchste Ergötzen!

[@theblueangel28]

its just astonishing...like, who knew the human voice could do that?

[@supawels3627]

Sumi Jo versetzt mich immer wieder neu in Euphorie für ihre wunderschöne Stimme (und, keinem weitersagen, für ihre Schönheit)!

[@초정광천수]

VERY GOOD !! This is something different from Bartoli's performances. DON'T argue who is better. It's as green as children. " which is more stronger between tigers and lions?"

[@utoobah]

@Dorian G. doesn’t mean she makes a better sound. Contrary to popular opinion, Bartoli doesn’t really make such a stable, clean, nice and transparent sound. She has a lot of issues like Knodel sound and wobbly voice. If you watch a channel called: Floria Tosca you will know what I mean. Sumi Jo on the other hand, is rarely amazing in today’ opera scene! She’s one of the sopranos who are the closest to Old School singing.

Very brave woman with matchless qualities. Let us just enjoy her for the gifts she has and shares with us.

[@acitipo]

Bueno yo soy cantante y profesor de un Conservatorio, y puedo opinar con cierta experiencia: Tanto Sumi Jo como la Batoli, son cantantes excepcionales, de las mejores en su genero, que hagan algo que no es para su tessitura, lo pueden hacer. aqui veo una gran agilidad en una autentica soprano ligera, buen ataque en el diafragma, gran fiato, trinos stacattos, fiorituras, muy bien colocados con brillos diversos. REPITO: Una cosa es que algunos no les gusta tal cantante, y otra que no cante bien.

[@tenorschofield]

BRAVISSIMA!!! che bella voce!!!, per me la vera diva d'oggi,Sumi Jo!!!

[@doloresromanramos9185]

[@killerbunny123123]

and there she goes taking mezzo soprano roles! well at her beginning she thought she was a mezzo soprano so she surely has some mezzo skills. And what skills! her coloratura is excellent as always! flawless rendition! love sumi :)

[@alejandrotm]

Mezzosoprano = half soprano in Italian, and both voices share a good deal of their range (C4 to A5 is basically shared by both tessitura), with some mezzo being able to hit G3-A3 (typical contralto notes) and sopranoes being able to hit notes above A5, up to C6, sometimes reaching as far as F#6 for the lightest sopranoes.

[@baritonebynight]

Jessye Norman would say "didn't you realize that pigeon holes are only comfortable for pigeons?"

Interessante é perceber o retorno das árias de Vivaldi no cenário operístico atual. Poucos se recordam que o selo Naïve auxiliou na popularização de óperas antes esquecidas, além de cantores que se debruçaram no repertório barroco. Parabéns pela avetura

[@artisa72]

émouvant, la rencontre de deux virtuoses, extraordinaire Sumi, trésor de Corée et Vicenté, à mon avis le meilleur pianiste qui l'a accompagné pendant une partie de sa magnifique carrière !!!

[@michaelflute1]

bueno, soy flautista pero he hecho musica de camara con cantantes, en primer lugar no es una mala version, lo que pasa es que no es brillante; para un cantante segun mi experiencia, su interpretacion depende de muchos factores externos e internos y aunque se trabaje el 300% para la perfeccion simpre hay un margen de error, y ella canta esta aria de una forma decorosa, sabiendo que no esta hecha para su registro ella inteligentemente sube las octavas nescesarias, es una version muy racional!!!!!!

[@skyhaileducation24]

This song for Mezzo soprano however Sumi is a high tone soprano rite?

[@Yotam1703]

Yes, this aria is written for a medium coloratura mezzo (originally for a male castrato), while Sumi Jo is a high lyric coloratura soprano. Her chest is developed enough for her to hit the main low notes (1:43), though you can hear her struggle in some of the more complicated low sections (2:57) and flat out re-write them (2:20, and she skipped the entire low B-section) in others. She is absolutely wonderful in this rendition in my opinion, given she’s the wrong voice type :)

[@nilberto1]

It's just amaze how many colors she brings to this music. Amazing performance. Great rendition!

[@gilbert-noelsfeir4842]

Exactly! She brings in a lovely varied palette.

[@AveNocturnus]

her and natalie dessay are the TOP coloraturas in the world. i like dessay slightly better, more her tone than anything. but sumi jo is STILL amazing!

[@vitellia]

She does look really uncomfortable. It sounds to me this piece is new to her (also to the pianist!). I wonder what made her decide to tackle this, especially after Cecilia Bartoli's perfect interpretation (fabulously accompanied by authenitc Baroque bands twice over) is branded in everyone's ears. Perhaps she's resentful that she never got to do all the great Baroque parts during her prime, which would've been superb. The informed Baroque performance movement missed her and vice versa.

En duo avec un piano, c'est plus difficile qu'avec un orchestre à cordes. Sumi Jo est exceptionnelle mais je pense que pour cet Aria, elle aurait à y gagner avec un orchestre.

It is not enough to be good, vocalize, study, practice .... you have to know how to interpret, excite, have intensity and depth ... so either she is overrated, or i have used my ears too well ll ne suffit pas d'être bon, de faire les vocalisations, d'étudier, de pratiquer ... il faut savoir interpréter, émotioner, avoir de l'intensité et de la profondeur ... donc, ou elle est surestimé, ou J'ai trop bien utilisé mes oreilles!

I PARTLY agree with you on Koreans: vanity, yes, lack of individuality bordering totalitarianism, yes, but stupid? NEVER! They are some of the smartest people. And Sumi Jo is one magnificent songbird, and that's all that matters here. This performance does not display Sumi Jo at her best (well, she's way past her prime anyway), but still it's more than respectable. She desperately needs Baroque specialists. She has the right instrument, but she has no style. She might get a great result.

[@poppya54]

[@talvela100]

Sarò anche l'unico a pensarla così, ma non ci siamo proprio sia come accompagnamento che come canto.

This woman thinks that an array of vocal fireworks is enough to make justice to music...she must listen to Bartoli's performances of this same aria...and try to LEARN something!

Of course she perhaps to work on the style, she never said she is the queen of baroque period, anyway she sing nicely this piece and Whatever we can say on the style she we still stay THE sumi Jo. I think that on the fact that she is a really great soprano she has nothing to prove anymore... Beside that she is doing strange out of tone notes at 2:35 , I don't know why...

[@eli_1719]

@rmcinuk ... and how can you understand if you like a singer or not, if you don't begin to listen to them? :) moreover, i didn't insult her. i was replying to a person who said something not very flattering to bartoli. and then, why did you reply only to my comment when there are many many other comments about how much bartoli is better than sumi jo?

[@tjonesmusicman]

this performance is ok...i dont think ti 's as bad as most of you say it is. but yes i do agree that this isn't a good opener for a recital and yes she could've put alot more effort into this piece

[@mcfrogner]

I have to agree. She just stands there and with much effort gets most of the notes out. It's more like a workshop recital. I always say, if you can't even pronounce what you're singing you shouldn't perform it at all.

[@bravazingara]

not a very good choice for her....you would think that after so many years of professional experience she would know exactly which repertoire to sing...

[@fontenayperi]

i only seem to find concert performances of Sumi Jo. Does she do opera too or does she stick to recitals?

[@robertvalence7899]

In May-June she was in Arabella in Hamburg and as I write she's Rosina in the Barber in Florence. But her concert recitals tend to predominate.

[@mrturtle1128]

It is indeed hard to find her doing operas on KZbin, though there are some great recording of her live operas if you dig a bit deeper~~ Like La Sonnambula, good luck on treasure hunting :)

[@SsteinwayS]

No, she's a soprano and naturally does not have a spectacular low range. You can't reach high E-flats and low C's with the same capability. And if she wasn't fluid, what would she be? Staccato? Baroque music doesn't have to be all overly technical and without emotion!

[@dwighty4u]

i know this is kinda farfetched but is the accompanist looking at his hands somewhere around 1:08??????

[@oceanodefuego1]

Creo que no es una mala interpretación, sin embargo, no es la misma expresión vocal al oírla con las maestras Vivica Genaux o Cecilia Bartoli. Claro que los castrados si querían la cantaban con mezzosoprano o contralto y hasta soprano, si se les ocurría, vocalmente para ellos nada era imposible.

[@allthenamesrtook]

No te enojes... tenés razón... fue un ataque de pasionismo... De todos modos soy una persona y soy educado, además, la palabra maricón no es una palabra mala, entre otras cosas, tiene la acepción de hombre con actitudes veladas y cobardes. Un cordial saludo

[@fonteyn9]

Vivaldi was a composer who was utterly insensitive to the natural limits of human vocal capacity. (He wasn't the only one -- Beethoven and Mozart, among others, had a similar problem.) Agitata seems to have been written for a string virtuoso then transcribed for voice. All singers who try Agitata have difficulty with it, Including the remarkable Bartoli. Ms. Jo accepts the challenge courageously and does a fantastic job with an impossible piece. Brava! Well done!
