Don't talk to me like I'm stupid, I have a music masters degree. "most promising up and coming singer" is another way of saying "lost the MET national council auditions," she didnt win anything. Candide walks the line of opera/MT, Cundegonde is often cast with women who arent "real" opera singers. The role in the Corigliano she was cast as is a small comic role, and is actually written for mezzo (Marilyn Horne premiered it). As I said, to my knowledge she has never performed opera live unmiked.
One...she is FUN to watch,...adore the Amy Winehouse hair.....two, stop comparing to Dessay and even Damrau.For that matter Dessay is not weven able to sing THIS piece anymore and Damrau IS...but there are MORE great sopranos. Go see Lenneke Ruiten, she is also smashing in it! And Three..the high note...limit okay...but it is there...so BASTA!
You must be deaf ! Such a stupid comment. Heard maybe 100 different singers in this extreme difficult explosive aria, but this singer is here at 29 already absolutely fabulous.
@@koosriedijk3872 I have heard many versions, but the definitive version is that by Barbara Cook, for whom the aria was written and who was involved in every step of the creation of the aria.
@@Shahrdad I am well aware of who was the first and I do know that version well and I also saw Cook on stage once and (like you) I (of course)also appreciate her and I ALWAYS credit the number one. (Like e.g. Knoxville 1950 by Barber was introduced by Eleonor Steber and after that followed by 100 others) So that was not the point. It's like e.g. with the song "Summertime", there are not 100 but maybe 500 versions by now. It is interesting to appreciate (or not) the many flowers in the field. Some are voice technically the best, some are extremely funny, from conservatorium trained voices to natural voices with no or less training. I always try to listen (and look) "fresh" , so not comparing. This "eternal" comparing on you tube ("who is the best") ánd in life is a nightmare. That means that no (semi-) classical opera/aria can be sang again. I try to enjoy and appreciate what the singers are achieving as it is certainly an extreme difficult piece of music. To conclude: I might have heard some 100 by now and the one I return to most is voicewise nót the best (!) , but one of the most entertaining and hilarious ones. Several other sopranos have done it much better or even perfect, but were not really exciting or even a bit dull. But I appreciate all, as many singers are not able to do it, so appreciation for those who dare(d) Let's enjoy together and have a nice weekend, regards from the Netherlands. The singer I meant being entertaining and hilarious is not Dutch (!) but Norwegian by the way.
@@koosriedijk3872 Cook spoke several times about what Bernstein wanted in this aria. He wanted the highly aspirated H in HahahaHahaha, and in wanted a certain syncopation in the way they were sung. Of course singing all those Hs is extremely difficult and wastes a lot of precious air. What I hear almost every opera singer who attempts this do is to eliminate the Hs and instead just sing the simpler staccati (as the singer in this video does). Even the wonderful Broadway singer Chenoweth drops the Hs and sings staccati. And many just way overdo the comedy and just become cutsie-poo. I'm not saying that operatic singers shouldn't sing this, but they should honor what the composer wanted sung, even if it makes the singing more difficult.
@@Shahrdad Thank you for your valuable explanation. Still I am always curious to hear (and see) how singers give their own interpretation , like the before mentioned (not to be compared) Summertime . That doesn't mean I don't appreciate the original and what the composer dictated. Many songs/aria's are not suited to mess about, but some apparently are! The two mentioned here are clearly inviting singers to "have a ball"! There is also an excellent Dutch singer, who adds a note I had not heard before and so many contributions still amaze me. Again thanks and again have a nice weekend. !
It wasn't bad. Obviously she is much blessed with a beautiful voice but that final E-Flat sounded clutched. I didn't like the way she carefully transitioned into it. It took some of the drama out of it for me and then she screeched it at the finish...not the best I've heard.
If you only listen to the best , you miss 99 others. There are many flowers in the field. And the so called number 1 is often by far not the most attractive. Stop comparing and enjoy.
Daniela!!!!
Que voz linda! uma grande cantora, uma voz que realmente se presta a fazer o que se pede dentro da musica!
Sucesso sempre!!
She's naturally funny, without choreography, or gimmicks. Natural.
really impressed by this performance, was great., touched my heard
Brava! now THAT was a real treat to listen to!

Ignore some of these silly comments. You are perfect! Thanks for participating in the AIDS concert. Your English is as clear as it can possibly be.
exactly !! like the silly comment of ezayi !!!
For me the sexiest voice on "parlato"
I like it very much, congrats! She's a heroine! I think that the orquestra is too much loud and heavy... and very fast...
For something like this, they've most definitely rehearsed it, and she probably told them to take that tempo.
Daniela, felicidades, excelente!!!.
Un gran abrazo
Interesting song interesting singer....
hey she is great
I love that she sings a little sharp. :)
Bravissima!
...Candide ist best of all possible Musik in the second time of the 20. Century! ;-D -- pardon my english.
Bravo !!! Bravo !!! Bravooooo.... !!!
delicate performance
excellent!!!
Fabulous!
BRAVOOOO!!!!!!!!!!
Very nice voice... still a long way to go girl!

Lol she looks like a Simpsons character
Thanks for participating in the AIDS concert. Non-traditional fulfillment but interesting.
uhm do u know anything of her? where is she from? is she very famous?
Funny hair...
No comparen;
Ella es muyy buena
and by the way.......why do i have the impression that this video is a bit sped-up?
2:40 - 55 the orchestra is a bit sluggish
brava!!
but she iscertainly moresuitable for this type of performace. expecially in the show.
dessay is the best, followed by damrau.
Thats all you can say? Keep your useless comments. That eternal comparing... so stupid.
Hood singing but the acting and facial expressions was erm....interesting
Natalie Dessay is a disaster nowdays
Kristin Chenoweth isnt a real opera singer, she has a tiny voice and sings miked, shes never performed oepra professionally
that bun on top of her head is a mess lolol looks like a birds nest lol singing was good though
Natalie Dessay's voice isnt is very good shape anymore
Cute version if you don't know what it's really supposed to sound like. Listen to Barbara Cook who originated the aria.
Maybe you have heard only 1 version. By now there are 100 on UA-cam.

After Natelie Dessay, all performances are insufficient... Not bad tough...
