Nicht nur die wundervolle Sumi Jo, sondern auch diese einfühlsame Flötistin bei jedem erneuten Anhören eine Erleuchtung.

이 곡은 수미님의 레코딩에 없는걸로 아는데.. 맞다면 너무너무 아쉽네요. 곡 자체도 경건하고 아름답기 그지 없지만, 조수미님의 젊은 시절 저 투명하기 그지 없는 아름다운 목소리로 이 곡을 레코딩으로 남기지 않으신 것이 너무 아쉬워요 ㅠㅠ 그나마 이렇게 영상으로나마 남아 있는 것이 얼마나 다행인지요. 유튜브 수미님 영상 중에 저의 top pic중 하나

[@ausbavaria5661]

이것은 모차르트가 가장 아름답고 정교한 작곡 중 하나이며, 주인 인 훌륭한 수미 조 (Sumi Jo)와 같은 대사가 청중에게 제공합니다. Das ist eine der schönsten und anspruchsvollsten Kompositionen Mozart's, von einer dem Meister ebenbürtigen Botschafterin, der wunderbaren Sumi Jo, dem Zuhörer geschenkt. これは、モーツァルトによる最も美しく洗練された作曲の1つであり、マスターである素晴らしいスミジョーと同等の大使によって聴衆に与えられました。 This is one of the most beautiful and sophisticated compositions by Mozart, given to the audience by an ambassador equal to the master, the wonderful Sumi Jo. 這是莫扎特創作的最美麗，最精緻的作品之一，大使由等同於大師的Sumi Jo送給觀眾。 Это одна из самых красивых и изощренных композиций Моцарта, переданная публике послом, равным мастеру, замечательному Суми Джо. Essa é uma das composições mais bonitas e sofisticadas de Mozart, oferecida ao público por um embaixador igual ao mestre, o maravilhoso Sumi Jo.

[@noninoadios8501]

개인적으로 이 곡은 아를린 오제나 캐슬린 베틀, 바바라 보니, 바바라 헨드릭스, 담라우, 나탈리 드세 등 여러 성악가들이 부른걸 모두 다 들어봤지만 진짜 이곡만큼은 조수미가 부른 이 버전이 단연 최고인 듯. 이 곡이랑 메사저의 는 조수미의 목소리를 가장 빛나게 하는 노래인 것 같은데 소름, 전율이 일 정도로 반짝반짝 빛이 난다. 정말...

[@ozzymandi]

Mozart, Offenbach ,Bizet, Delebes etc. She can do it all. She is wonderful!! I don,t want to argue with anyone, but Sumi does it for me.

[@edejan]

I love this piece and Sumi Jo, as usual, sings it perfectly and beautifully. She is a talent of gigantic size.

[@atticusut2004]

She is very poised and graceful in the way she sings. This music does not call for much physical expression. Mozart wanted to show off Costanza's voice when he wrote this so he was out to in his opinion write the most beautiful piece of music of all time. And I won't argue against it. This music needs nothing more than to simply be sung, and sung well. In my opinion Sumi did just that. Gorgeous performance.

[@rcalabri]

@atticusut2004: can you answer about the proposition about "Mozart wanted write the most beautiful piece of music of all time"? I would´nt dare with that either... Thank you

[@LivingForce]

1700 views and not a single reply, criminal. Mozart would be proud to hear this and her voice is just amazing...

[@SteveL2012]

This really is glorious singing. It’s too bad the orchestra doesn’t match up-either under-rehearsed or just third rate.

[@LivingForce]

@@SteveL2012 Unfortunately the arts have just been underfunded for performances, especially with the pandemic situation.

[@saidbell9474]

Waoooooo , que belleza de voz que canto mas nitido en sus notas he escuchado esta pieza de Mozart , pero Sumi Jo la hace preciosa se puede poner a la altura de las mejores cantantes de opera del momento , muy agradable esa gran soltura en su voz me hacen alagarle bravisimoooo Sumi Jo , gracias

[@avi10000]

Beautiful

[@atticusut2004]

Her technique is flawless. There are few women on this planet that can perform on this level. Now to address the comment about the "soullessness" or "lifelessness". If you knew anything about Mozart's Mass in C minor or a formal recital such as his you would know that she is doing exactly what she is supposed to do.

[@mynewyork165]

My goodness, what a lovely voice! One of my favorite movements.

[@huwedwards839]

I had the great fortune to be in the chorus in Aix in 1988, when Sumi Jo sung this utterly faultlessly.

[@Merlin1940]

... then (~07:45) she descends you for 15 sec back to orch, who in turn descends you further down for 30 sec, leaving everyone on ground at 08:30, speechless (including Sumi, no more detached then): warm applauses, but nothing comes out of any throats. This is why I feel Sumi Jo, sure very good technically (pitch, tempo, power, voice), yet more importantly among the best to render the emotion in this heavenly masterpiece. Tue 22 Jan 2008 22:30 GMT

[@AulicExclusiva]

I guess one man's "cleaner, more transparent" Mozart is another's "sterile, colourless" Mozart. This selection brings out the luscious timbre of Jo's fine voice (as opposed to the wispy, lightweight, imperfectly steady piping of Bonney, Dessay or even Augér) and her excellent vocalism.

[@JosephCarrion]

this is Undeniably good. There will be those that feel compelled to mention barbara Bonnie (excellent, and technique is top-notch)), Ileana Cortrubas (perfect voice for Mozart) D. Damrau, or even Bartoli (not my preference). So this is why I said Sumi Jo is good--no question this is true.Here is My opinion as to whose interpretation is best: Lucia Popp--Würzburg 1981. Bayerisches Rundfunkorchester. Check that out.

[@rcalabri]

Absolutly. In this aria Lucia is the non plus ultra.

[@supawels3627]

Es erstaunt mich immer wieder, wenn ich mir dieses traumhaft gesungene Stück sehr oft anhören, wie es manche Zukörerinnen (!) schaffen, ihr Geplappere bis zu den ersten Takten fortzuführen.

[@Merlin1940]

I would like to press 10 times the "thumb up" button for atticusut2004's "Mozart wanted to... write the most beautiful piece of music of all time... ...needs nothing more than to simply be sung... Sumi did just that". Sat 28 Jun 2008 09:57 GMT

You know i've just stopped expecting my favorite opera singers to dress well, so now whenever they do, i'm pleasantly surprised. lol love sumi... but why that dreeeess

[@Merlin1940]

This singer - and singing - belongs to heaven, no matter the earthly details as dress or orchestra (that, even if not matching the singer, aren't so bad BTW) Wed 15 Oct 2008 14:17 GMT

[@vitellia]

LOL, according to the Korean subtitle in the beginning, it's a Mass in a minor. hahaha... Anyway, yes, she's a FABULOUS singer, definitely one of the most technically accomplished singers of ALL TIME. She truly has perfect legato and coloratura. Thank god for Decca for recording quite a bit of her.

[@Merlin1940]

"vitellia" 2011 I fully agree with your « _yes, she's a FABULOUS singer_ » Thanks for your remark « _according to the Korean subtitle in the beginning, it's a Mass in a minor_ », which made me curious: are Koreans using the international German-English note names (A B C D E F G)? or a one-lettered version of the French (Do or Ut, Ré, Mi, Fa, Sol, La, = English C, D, E, F, G, A, B), where English C would become A? First let's recall the names of the mass: - de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gro%C3%9Fe_Messe_in_c-Moll *Große Messe in c-Moll* - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Mass_in_C_minor,_K._427 *Great Mass in C minor* - fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Messe_en_ut_mineur_de_Mozart -Messe en ut mineur- *Grande messe en Ut mineur* (that name of FR Wikipedia is incorrect: Mozart wrote ~30 masses, of which a number in C, of which a couple in C minor, so omitting the German "Große" makes reading inconvenient or even ambiguous. Whence my following the frequent habit of simply naming this masterpiece "k427", which, entered alone in Google or KZbin, returns this famous mass in 1st rank) Now for the note names, a few selected search results: - www.google.com/search?q=Korean+names+of+classical+music+notes - play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.midisheetmusic - lh3.googleusercontent.com/maNqpjZB97ap8u2VQSOwaSaKgAhFILllXmc6swjb8gqPTf4j8-F4VIgHiYT7ihkLMFE=h900-rw (a _1718×900px image_ ) where, aside the notes, you can see the names " *C E G B* etc" showing they are using the German-English world-wide names. I can't be sure this use is general, Thanks In Advance to any Korean friend passing here who could help us... Sun 31 Dec 2017 18:04 GMT

[@yelloduckie05]

[@omhmar]

I love Sumi Jo! Did you see the way this diva walked out? Just prissy, lol.

[@supawels3627]

Das ist keine DIVA! Das ist eine begnadete Künstlerin, die das Gehabe einer Diva gar nicht nötig hat!!! Als Diva müsste sie "exzentrische Allüren" haben. Wo sollen die sein? Etwa ihre Schönheit? Sie kennt sicher auch Schiller's "Nänie", denn sie hat u. a. bei Elisabeth Schwarzkopf in Hamburg gelernt.

[@Merlin1940]

How is it that Sumi Jo's "Et incarnatus est" gets 33,000 views in 3.5 years, while Susan Boyle's "Britains Got Talent" gets 93 MILLIONS in 1 year??? I love Susan, I am glad she got such success, but I am sure she would agree that, weighing their quality and emotion, Sumi deserves even more. Thu 20 May 2010 13:36 GMT

[@Oikuvxwbos]

So you're saying that your ears can't depict if she's singing about something sad or something happy? Are you saying that without your eyes, your ears are pretty much worthless? In a song like this, I don't think you really need your eyes to hear the emotional and soulful voice. Ms. Jo did a wonderful job on this piece.

[@giedrehoffmann4719]

Wunderbar!

[@ARTUROPVIOLA]

where is she??? we need Sumi Jo !!!!!

[@editszabo3133]

♥️♥️♥️

[@smoothiw]

@Merlin1940 hehehe... Susan is a pop star. They are totally different.

[@vitellia]

I thought Sylvia McNair was pretty much unbeatable until I heard Barbara Bonney with the same force. It's a little unfair to compare Sumi Jo here with McNair or Bonney under Gardiner's direction with the finest orchestra possbile for this music. Maybe she'd have sounded even better in that circumstance. Clearly Gardiner much appreciated Jo, enough to hire to record Comte Ory, which is pretty damn spectacular. I don't think either Bonney or McNair would've even come to his mind with that project.

[@Merlin1940]

Please replace "patiently rise" with "accurately drive you up" Tue 22 Jan 2008 22:39 GMT

[@Merlin1940]

I can't imagine any "mask" or "doll" or "robots" on earth rendering 1/10 of the "soul and life" we can see and hear e.g. in 06:00-06:20 (just an example). Tue 25 Mar 2008 00:33 GMT

[@Merlin1940]

+1. Sumi Jo is wonderful, yet on this piece none can approach McNair, particularly for purity, plainness, exactitude; see comments: "otherwordly", "godess", "could melt marble", "angelic", "divine", "pure, effortless, and refined", "flawless", "celestial", "spiritual essence", "the most beautiful recording of human voice", etc, etc - which I share 100% (If "K427 McNair Gardiner" unavailable, buy "Mozart for the Millennium", you won't regret!). Mon 22 Sep 2008 15:00 GMT

[@anagba]

it s unreal that he never fully finished this..i wonder if it could get any better with more notes!

[@301250]

Lovely voice and singing by Karajan's discovery but here her performance of this (literally)heavenly piece of music of a divine composer is sadly marred by the loud, intrusive, trenchant and at times wretched playing of the woodwinds of a mediocre orchestra that simply does not do justice to Sumi's great gifts.

I agree

[@Merlin1940]

I disagree 180° with "technically correct but without soul and life": imperfect is her asian timbre; perfect is her technics (pitch, tempo, power and variation); *beyond perfect* is how well she understands and renders the emotion in the sacred phrases (see my "2007-0905.1239"); she certainly understands far better than the one who writes "de spirito facto"! My spine chills at her soul and vibrant life, more than at her technics! Tue 25 Mar 2008 00:15 GMT

[@supawels3627]

Diese gottgegebene Stimme sendet eine unüberhörbare Botschaft an die Menschheit, mehr zur Friedfertigkeit und zur Humanität zu finden, anstatt wie Neandertaler aufeinander einzuprügeln, wie gerade im Iran oder der Ukraine, aber auch wie früher im Irakkrieg oder in Worldwar II.
