- This is Contralto Ewa Podles sing the Anna's aria from the oratorio Il Ritorno di Tobia by J.Haydn. In the candenza she hits a natural high D (A=440) , the highest note i heard from her so far. The other high D's known like in Dover giustiza are in A= 415 ( wich became a C sharp in pure notes)
Dobry Jezu a nasz Panie daj śpiewającej Ewie wiecznie spoczywanie 💟
Extraordinary contralto voice ❤👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
RIP😢😢😢
I live in Brazil.
Great Ewa . Just gorgeous, She is unique. Primadonna assoluta .
Wow, the D natural she hit sounded like a high C! It was effortless. She has lovely color in her voice and the voice is just so big. Amazing singer with a beautiful bottom as well as a top!
What a sensational voice! The low notes are so rich and full, and then she goes so high as well. Wow
There are sopranos, mezzos, contraltos, etc etc and there is Ewa Poddles, the woman is a league of her own, I've never heard anything like her, JUST AMAZING!!! Too bad the stupid Met management didn't do what they were supposed to do, which would have been go out of their way to get her. She sang one performance of "Rinaldo" as second cast to Marilyn Horne (give me a break!!! Not that Horne was bad, not at all but nobody like Ewa) and, after many years, she finally came back to sing La Cieca in Gioconda, she blew me away!!!
I wonder if her employment at the Met had something to do with the way they do (or don't quite) understand Baroque over there - in that they may have thought they needed big local names like Horne and Ramey to carry a Baroque opera.
@@ddehggial9932 :: I think the Met wanted to make money which is understandable, especially since it doesn't get the support from Government Subsidies & struggles to get new audiences.
M.H. has paid operatic " dues " & deserves Met considerations ; but I'm sure even her jaw must have dropped when she heard this great contralto voice.
( Can you think of the greater contralto roles Rossini could have written if he heard E. P. He definitely would have taken advantage ! )
American audiences weren’t buying what she was selling, and how dare you disrespect Marilyn Horne!
@@direfranchementMarylin Horne sang out of her nose and couldn’t do legato to save her life. Her name doesn’t even deserve to be next to a musical legend like Ewa Podles
@gianerajohn436 No one knows who Ewa Podles is in America. She has a vulgar, ungainly, often ugly sound. Marilyn Horne did not sing out of her nose, what a ridiculous comment!
Contralto, mezzo, whatever - who cares?! She's unique and the best and that's all.
Слушая Еву Подлещ, плачу ! Мое сердце и душа не могут принять факт того, что её уже нет с нами! Великая певица! Мировая опера понесла огромную утрату. Теперь Ева поёт только Господу!!! 😢😢😢❤❤❤
Wow... best dark female voice I have ever heard.... Wow
yes who care about the voice classification she is one of the best opera singer in this decade!
The most astonishing voice I have ever heard. Brava!
FANTASTIC voice
Ewa's voice has become one of my favorite female voices of all time. Odd as it may sound, I like her voice for some reasons similar to why I like a lot of classic heavy metal voices! Namely Rob Halford. We're talking about voices with consistent vibrato, rather hefty instruments that are steeped in darkness and imbued with the dramatic, though if need be, the lightening and flexibility aspect isn't lost upon by any stretch.
I respect their opinion, though really don't care for the purists' point of view that the sections of Ewa's vocal range are too differentiating. Akin to Rob Halford channeling his full voice well into the 5th, (and even at its extreme adopting almost a whistle characteristic when he reached a full C6 once), I completely agree her frustration with critics pointing this out. She has struck me as a very sensible singer as well as a brilliant one, knowing full well how unhealthy it would be to try to hit certain notes using the wrong part of her voice. I doubt she would want to go for in her mid-range whilst sounding masculine. Of course there are fairly obvious tonal changes! That's part of the appeal because there's a really tangible idea of her vocal arsenal, and you just know that she has chosen her role to the best of her ability, and not in accordance to fashion.
Very much a correlation between two very different voices liked for the same principles in expression.

Thank you for the "Rob Halford" reference.
I think you're right about her voice & other opera singers w / incredible ranges of sound.
Huguette Tourangeau is / was a great "soprano-contralto". Her vocal "masculinity" was staggering. You should hear her recording of Donizett's _Maria Stuarda_ w / Joan Sutherland. Her upper register sounded like a soprano. The critics dragged her over the coals for having an "uneven" voice, but audiences couldn't believe what they were hearing from this singer. She has a solo recording w / Richard Bonynge conducting. _( Arias from Forgotten Operas )_ [ Her only solo. ]
A long time ago Ewa Podles sounded very different. You wouldn't recognize her voice, back then. It was so beautifully lyrical.
I will definitely check out Rob Halford.
Thanks !
RIP Podles, lung cancer may have won; but you will forever be remembered in the long run ❤️ 😔 🎼 👼
Extraordinary voice
I was at this concert (in Avery Fisher Hall in New York City). She was phenomenal!
Fantastic!!!!
Maravilhosa Diva no registro de voz Contralto.Grata por compartilhar está relíquia .Brasil, São Paulo.
The best contralto ever! Although, the word "contralto" seems a bit out of place when you hear the D thing. :)
lalagonegaga
thats because she isnt a contralto.She is a highly dramatic coloratura mezzo
emmystarlight I’ve heard many dramatic mezzos and none of them sound as dark and deep as her
She's a dramatic coloratura contralto, it's no way a mezzo. Maybe she's the only one ever in this fach.
@@gloomysunday8242 Simionato, Obraztsova and the rest of old-school mezzos sound darker than this.... And Simionato is viewed by many (myself included) as a dramatic soprano and not a mezzo. And she still sounds darker than Podleś.
1:53 the note!
A true musical artiste! Bravissimo!!
Stuning performance !!!:)
Jak ja kocham ten głos
EXTRAORDINARY SINGING!
¡Ésta es una maestra bravísima!
Bravo Ewa!
Una palabra.
Diva!!!
¡Qué registro tan extensísimo tiene la maestra Podles, me deja estupefacto!
Es un registro de 3 octavas....
no, it's not a note written in the aria, it normally goes from low G till A5, the D6 is in her cadenza
When she says "tremò" makes you tremble for real!!!!
RIP ❤
Bonjour, je me permets de mettre un petit commentaire sous cette vidéo car j'ai lu attentivement ce que vous écrivez à propos des catégories vocales. Toutes mes études de chant j'ai été "embêté" par des jurys qui ne savaient pas où me "ranger" et qui étaient surpris que je chante des choses différentes qui pourtant m'allaient (en toute modestie) plutôt bien vocalement parlant. Pourquoi ne peut-on pas accepter que les gens sont tous uniques avec leurs qualités et leurs défauts?
On oublie aussi souvent que pendant très longtemps, il n'y avait pas de catégorie vocale puisque les compositeurs écrivaient pour une personne en particulier, donc pour une voix qu'ils connaissaient. Pourquoi donc ne pourrait-on pas uniquement s'attacher au fait que "ce soit bien fait" et arrêter d'essayer de comparer les gens et de les ranger dans une boite?
Sinon merci pour cette vidéo :)
AMAZING
I think she's the greatest contralto since Schumann Heink!! She seems to excel in all repertoire she tackles and her low register never sounds like a man as Marilyn Horne's did.
Never sounds like a man!? Did you heard the video on her range here on UA-cam or that last minutes of her aria "Aure de per pietà" from Giulio Cesare? :) she is really androgyne there! but for me it's not a bad thing i find amazing the thousand of coulour a same human voice can take...
sonqualnave I should have been clearer. The super low notes she can sing certainly possess a male timbre. I was referring to altos who start pouring over the coals at the highest notes they're able to. I find that a little disturbing except in some trouser parts.
What if she sounds like a man? She'd be totally and completely in character and in style. And as a matter of fact, she DOES sound like a man. A HUGE strong low, medium and high register. She's awesome! And Horne's instrument is very different from Podles, they both were astonishing singers, but different instruments :)
Marilyn Horne was a dramatic soprano.
@@borisvandruff7532 ....lol... no she wasn't. There was nothing soprano in her. In earlier times she sang soprano but she wisely changed to her real vocal fach. There's a recording of her singing the Neddas aria more than a quarter tone flat.
Bravissima!
definitely a contralto. if the smoky middle and lower registers don't give it away, the lower passaggio does. having high d does not make one mezzo or soprano. if mariah carey can sing a D7, I don't see why a talented contralto couldn't sing D6.
She's not a contralto. Her voice isn't rich enough. And Mariah is using a very different technique as well.
@@KajiVocals she is you swear you know everything. She even said she was a classically trained one
ua-cam.com/video/kXNtsXgYOSE/v-deo.html
@@Jay2k2323 She also said that she was originally classified as a soprano and then her voice dropped to a mezzo territory after she had a child. Actual contraltos are very, very rare. Clara Butt is one.
@@KajiVocals multiple sites literally everywhere on the internet has her as a contralto. Multiple interviews..multiple videos..multiple sources all say the same thing. You're the only 1 in the world to call her otherwise 😂. Singing high for her is a SKILL THATS IT.She's still a contralto.
@@Jay2k2323 Preach the gospel to him. He gets on my nerves. He is very closed minded. He thinks that all contraltos or as he calls them "true contraltos" can not sing above E5. In fact, he thinks that any singer who sings above that note is a not a contralto, but, they are a Dramatic mezzo -soprano. He does not even understand the fach system pass his narrow minded point of view. He's not even a voice teacher/coach nor a vocal specialist( pedagogues). He's never even been to school for formal training in classical music to understand that the voice is more than a boxed in classification. He's a self glorified IDIOT!
Must seek that one also. Surprised about La Podles! :)
Brava🥰👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
💐❤️
it's live concert.
i don't know why many mezzo's do that,maybe it sounds more exotic.Anyhow,its the passagios that determine what voice"Fach" you are,not the colour or the choices.Her passagio's gave her away so to speak.I sincerely don't know why many mezzo's want to be contraltos.I am one,thats for sure.Its nice to have this "timbre" but the hight limitations are not so nice.And i have a perfect technique and no wear and tear for almoest 28 years as a professional operasinger.Who cares if you can sing a "Sarastro" low F3.Its the hight that counts and pays.Thats for sure too!!!She is an incredible singer,whatever her choices or ideas.But there is so much bla bla going around amongst singers that it is nice to know a couple of indisputable facts to hold on to!!!!
I don't think that it's only the passagio that determines a voice. it's not like, if you have a passagio on this note you are only this or you have it on this one you are that... I think there are much more elements to take in consideration, the coulour of the voice is also very important, the physical sensations of the singer, and the place where the singer feels really at home in his/her voice. Especially when you have a very long voice where you could pratically choose which *fach" you wanna be. So I try to be a bot more open about this. I always feels weird when other people try to just say "Oh, this singer thought all his carreer he/she was this but in fact " I THINK" that he or she is actually that..." I hate when people try to that with my voice, and tell me what I am (of course at the begining of your studies at some point you need an external ear and expertise to learn about your voice but still..) , so I personnally try not to do that with other colleagues/singers. But thanks to share your advice. Mrs Podles has indeed a very unic intrument otherwise people would not be so passionate about it.
no sweetheart they are nos singers blabbing so much,they are so called experts,who just `re showing off,of what they think they know.I enjoy Maestra`s Podles absolutely magnificent voice and,as far as I can see so do,millions of others around the world.
It's totally wrong. It is primarily the color of voice that determines the range of a voice. The same note issued by several instruments will not give the same sound. It's not the extension of the voice that counts ! A mezzo can go down to the low D ! A contralto can also go up to the high C ! The passagios and the extension of the voice are only auxiliaries. The color is EVERYTHING.
There is no doubt that Podles has an unusual instrument, her sound has, however, never given me goosebumps. I find her fast vibrato most disturbing, and I cannot help but wonder how dark her voice would be, if she did not darken it so much by pulling her tongue back. This is particularly easy to hear in her chest voice. I would prefer more squillo and less scuro.
Così si canta il barocco
she not a contralto,but a dramatic coloratura mezzo,she has her passagio to chestvoice on a typical mezzo spot!!!
if you know her voice better then herself... hehehe. she described herself as a contralto but anyway...
She's no way a mezzo.her weight her color her timbre her tessitura where her voice is real is totally a contralto, she's really dark and androgynous. She was trained as a mezzo when she was younger. But she's hell no a mezzo. She's a coloratura contralto that's why she can sing effortless higher coloratura notes. why couldn't sing a contralto high notes?
@@davidmuller9938 Please educate the closed minded boxed in people on what it means to be a singer with multiple factors outside of just the range.
She certainly is a contralto, but with an outstanding upper extension up to soprano. 3,5-octaves-voice, you see...
Shall we name Miss Eva Podle “L’Magnifica” she is unique in every aspects of her vocal power and beauty
