진짜 미친 음악성이라고 밖에....ㅠㅠ 이런 엄청난 공연을 초고화질로 녹화해서 후대에 길이길이 남겨야 할텐데 전성기때의 귀중한 자료들이 거의 화질 음질이 안좋아서 너무 안타까워요..

[@user-ys5hu3cy9s]

그러니까요ㅠㅠ

[@coy6642126]

This is a lady who fought great adversities and challenges in her early singing life simply because of how she looks and how she talked and to where she came from. These same people who doubted her and mocked her swallowed their pride the moment she opened her lips to sing. It's something they've never encountered before. Going forward several years, she's one of the brightest stars in the music world.

[@ThePulpitOfPoop]

Sumi is honestly the single greatest soprano of the semi modern era. Her technique is flawless, her high notes powerful and ringing. She truly is amongst the greats.

[@danacirstea3085]

Je ne m'en lasse pas d'écouter cette interprétation absolument divine. Elle chante avec une aisance absolument incroyable, c'est un Pavarotti au féminin. Bravo Madame!

[@RicardoGarcia-lh6kd]

South Korea must be really proud! Sumi is the best soprano of this century

하... 5분 2초에 하이 Eb6 봐봐.. 처음엔 바이올린 켤 때소리처럼 진입하더니 소리 점점 맑 투명해져서 깔끔하고 실크처럼 부드러우면서 강철같이 단단하게 펴져울리는것좀봐, 기가막히다 진짜. 저런고음 누가낼수있으려나 앞으로.

[@user-sj6zu9dv5b]

맞아요 처음엔 바이올린 고음현처럼 약하게 들어가는데 점점 또렷하게 나오는게진짜 ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ 미쳤어요

[@user-zc7rb8eb6n]

궁급해서 그런데 혹시 조수미씨가 F6 음을 저렇게 길게 낸게 있나요?

[@yb3542]

@@user-zc7rb8eb6n 예전에 몽유병의 여인 아미나의 아리아에서 2006년도에 F 길게 내신 적 있으세요. 가능은 한데 많은 소프라노들이 그 F 길게내는거 자제하는게 좋다고들 해요 지금 잘 나와서 막 내도될듯 생각되어도 시간이 지나면서 소리가 안좋아 지는 걸 느낀다고. F소리 너무 자주내면 중저음이 약해진다고들 해요. 일례로 나탈리 드세이가 길지가 못했죠 전성기가

Суми Джо для меня самый самый из всех сопрано,не перестаю слушать и обожать,любить и восхищаться!

[@smilep4950]

OMG her voice, acting is just PERFECTION... she's not just amazing singer but also amazing actor too....I Love her

[@sidewalkart]

warm smile .. i very much agree. .. and we all need this in the year 2022 more than ever.. to remind us that the human being can never be machined or manufactured

[@rmcinuk]

Still my favorite video after all these years and tens of hours of viewing it. I have adored Sum for over 2 decades but there is some unfathomable magic in this performance that calls me back time after time. As the "complete package" she will never be surpassed in my view.

[@edejan]

What exquisite beauty of voice and tone. She is truly one of the very few greats in the world of opera!

[@Henbot]

she sounds like she from another planet, great stuff

[@yww7938]

Her technique is absolutely incomparable!

[@user-cc5tl3mq2w]

언제나 혼신을 다해 곡을 표현하시며 청중에게 최선을 다하시는 모습이 너무 아름답고 숭고하게 보이십니다. 당연 최고이십니다. 사랑하고 존경합니다 고맙습니다~^^♡♡

[@oskarlina5912]

She is simply out of this world.love the artist, love the w Oman.

[@eom5576]

2022 년도 다시 듣네요 여전히 대단합니다 감동 입니다

[@avuncular300]

I was spellbound - Sumi can do no wrong. A combination of a fabulous voice, great stage presence in interpretation, and wonderful appearance in knock-out frocks ! A true star ! Bravo !!

[@michellee3506]

She is so amazing. She has such a unique stage presence that makes opera singing look so easy and fun. She also had a pretty "singing face". So charming.

[@silvanasgro7916]

Straordinariamente brava. Eccellente performance.

[@user-iz4nu1uf6v]

At this time, Sumi Jo was 45 years old and 20 years had passed since her debut! Great

[@jpslev2972]

Quelle Grande et Superbe Voix Extraordinainaire ! Félicitations pour cette Interprétation Magistrale !🙏🤗👌👍👏😍

[@roberthowes7827]

utterley fabulous, what a voice, top three in the world.

[@347chase]

Brava. I heard her for the first time in the magic flute from Mozart and I fell in love with her voice since then. After Maria Callas she is one of my favourites. Hope to have the chance to see her one day

[@Madamelnk]

i love her voice!!! So Hauntingly beautiful!!!

[@joycelee718]

How are you doing for 12 years Madam Megan? Hope you have beautiful healthy time:)

[@angelicamartinezr.8965]

Flawless, enchanted... Sumi Jo, the perfect voice, the best soprano in the world. Cheers!

[@Nacidodelmar]

Whoever affirms, even suggests that there is such a thing as "the best soprano in the world' it is only declaring his monumental ignorance.

[@angelicamartinezr.8965]

@@Nacidodelmar Hahaha greater ignorant is one who uses pedantic terms such as "monumental ignorance" to a simple opinion. Sumi Jo is a marvelous coloratura soprano and touch every listener's fibers. That's much more than can you (a sad bitter musical snob) can give to the humanity.

[@Nacidodelmar]

@@angelicamartinezr.8965 Oh dear! I won't even bother! Pedantry might be a more rightful word to describe those who attribute an absolute quality to what they believe is the best of the best, or the only one of a kind. No-one is the best of the best.That is a ridiculous and naive thing to say, even more if it is about Sumi Jo's superior vocal abilities.

[@angelrenemurielpizarro2226]

listen sempre libera MARIA CALLAS

[@user-fp6qr4is9x]

Так петь может только Божество! Как Суми Чо проекрасна, неповторимая, необыкновенная!

[@tiger2259]

Браво!!! Потрясающий голос. Мне кажется- это лучшая Виолетта Верди.

[@fahmich1372]

Goosebumps at every high note. God bless you, Sumi. Pure ear-gasming performance

[@jaisoobahng3953]

Flawless, inspirational Sumi's voice takes my breath away.

[@laveritabella]

She has such delicacy and flawlessness to her high notes! flawless voice! Brilliant!

[@LianaSabina]

Wonderful,wonderful,wonderful!!! I'm so very sorry for those who don't agree with me, I also love,respect and admire Maria Callas and Angela Gheorghiu (she's Romanian and so am I), but this version of 'Sempre libera' is just divine! Great performance of Sumi Jo!

[@anjong1234]

A definition of flawless!

[@avuncular300]

Wonderful. A great voice and a great presence. Sumi has to be ranked with the very best. Hooray ! If that performance wasn't exquisite then I will eat my hat! (As the expression goes)

[@crazyorganist1609]

Robert Price Joan Sutherland is much better and doesn't show off

Amazing!!! Gorgeous voice and incredible control! And the ending was really unexpected for me... Just wow!

[@MagManTR09]

I get goosebumps every time I hear Sumi Jo sing this piece. Wow! What a performance! She is undoubtedly my favorite woman because I can listen to her all day long and still want more! ;-)

[@BenjaminHan1]

이렇게 아름다울수가... 찬사를 보냅니다. It is such a beautiful moment for me in this youtube scene. Thank you.

[@avuncular300]

What a glorious human being ! I am enthralled by whatever she does.

[@rmcinuk]

Indeed, Since her first recordings she has been and always will be my perfect woman! Voice, face, expressions, gestures, such perfection can make one sad if pondered over too long! Long live Sumi Jo

Fantastica è dire poco, immensa Sumi!

[@josephde-zordi7324]

sweet and clear voice, well done Koreans teaching Italians how to sing their music,

[@songbird4jc]

American Idol stuff will never last. But this is a voice that is not just truly beautiful and flawless, but will last for a long time. I am transported to the heavenlies listening to Sumi Jo. Brava!

[@MrSwifts31]

This is a wonderful and amazing voice.Often coloratura/lyric voices can be narrow,shrill and stretched. Sumi has none of these~ her voice,is rich, steady,strong without being harsh,and with amazing agility and yet warmth. As she is now 54,I suppose we must expect the day when she decides to retire,but hopefully we may enjoy another decade of her voice. BTW She is 4ft 10" tall, and when giving a recital wears VERY high heels(usually red)these heels can be frightening if you are in the stalls(and she is on a raked stage) if she totters(a bit) the audience takes a deep breath.

[@jorgemariomanfredi3425]

Una voz sublime.una hermosisima presencia

[@user-rq7xk7px4e]

라 트라비아타"는 오페라로서 최고의 걸작이지요. 이 名오페라 주연을 맡는다는 것은 치열한 경쟁을 물리치고 비올레타역을 맡은 것으로 추측되며.... 그 내용은,사랑, 희생, 사회적 기대, 선택의 결과를 주제로 감성적이고 비극적인 이야기를 만들어 내지요. 오페라로도 유명하지만 春姬라는 제목으로 영화도나왔지요.비올레타역으로 세기의 대배우 '그레타 가르보'가, 남주연은 미국최고미남배우 '로버트 테일러'가 주연으로 나온 명화를 기억합니다. 조수미님,이런 大作의 주연으로... 진짜 대단합니다!!!

She has such a sweeet voice and is positively beautiful

[@miamicubanman]

Sumi is simply Fantastic !!!!!!

[@acitipo]

No me canso de admirar el bellisimo timbre de la Jo, es una AUTENTICA SOPRANO LIGERA muy adapta para una aria como esta Sempre Libera, los trinos, stacattos, fiorituras, bellos y bien puestos. realmente una dulzura escucharla ademas de su magnetismo, y una cosa que no dejo de admirarme ver el respeto de los orientales con la Opera, como se ve la gran educacion que tienen.

[@louisalit]

I think she is the world's best soprano by far!! A divine gift. I love her voice

[@LaDivaWorld]

such an incredible pianissimo! Oh my God,there are many singers who can sing it loud,but how many can deliver most subtle and delicious pianissimo,huh? Brava ragazza!
