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!
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 !!!
Wenn man diese brilliante Leichtigkeit mit manchen anderen Versionen vergleicht, wächst die Erkenntnis: Sumi Jo ist einfach das absolut höchste Ergötzen!
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 :)
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.
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.
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?"
@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.
just bear in mind that while she's having this recital, it's her father's funeral on the other side of the world. This recital is her tribute to her dead father.
I love how such an excellent coloratura sang this in a mezzo style and so different from Bartoli or Cangemi. All amazing for sure, but Sumi did flawlessly here in such a brilliant manner!
@jmsampietro En realidad solo es una versión distinta de lo que estamos acostumbrados a escuchar con esta aria, Sumi Jo da una buena y distinta forma de escuchar este tema pues ella es soprano y una de las más respetadas en su generación, una de las mejores voces actuales
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
Estoy harto de todo el mundo haciendo comparacion entre esta interpretacion y la de Cecilia. Si Cecilia era mejor, pero esta es una interpretacion valida. Y no era tan mala. Porfa! Dejala en paz y apreciala por lo que es.
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 :)
I like Sumi Jo's rendition more than Bartoli's. I don't like Bartoli's voice, too mechanic. Not saying she's not good, but I prefer Sumo Jo 💕💗🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹bravoooooo
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!
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!!!!!!
Hey!!! Very good! Sumi Jo does a very good job! I love this aria, and altough it's not for Cecilia's voice, I think Cecilia Bartoli puts a great energy to this aria.
@MrCurryFan It's all a matter of personal choice! If you prefer Bartoli enjoy her, please don't come here making silly statements. I never never insult other singers, I simply don't listen to them. In my world Sumi Jo is and always has been number one.
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.
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.
Es sabido que no es para su registro, con sólo leer el libreto se consta. ¿ Por qué tántas críticas contra Sumi Jo ? Es una de las voces más grandes de éstos tiempos y por algo está donde está y se da lujos como éste, son versiones, al igual que a Caballé las desterraron por éste aria (recién ví el video y junto con él sus comentarios despectivos) a mi me daría verguenza faltarle el respeto de esa manera a una DIOSA como lo son ambas.
Antonio Vivaldi is my favourite composer, and Jo Sumi my favourite soprano, so you can imagine how much emotive is this performance for me. Heavenly voice, Jo Sumi.
I like this piece accompanied by an orchestra better than the piano. Prety though i do prefer Cecilia Bartoli when it comes to Baroque music. Sumi did a nice job though.
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 indeed hard to find her doing operas on UA-cam, though there are some great recording of her live operas if you dig a bit deeper~~ Like La Sonnambula, good luck on treasure hunting :)
I don't get it, why's everyone bitching 'bout this? It's not THAT bad. And for your information, Bartoli doesn't own this aria. She owns Armatae Face, but not this. This one is better done by both Emma Kirkby and Veronica Cangemi. :)
Agreed...the pianist is not great at all. However, Sumi Jo is incredible in this piece, although Bartoli is more polished. The comment about Asians is completely unwarranted though! As a Chinese-Canadian I take much offence to the comment you made - it sounds like Asians are not competent. "Not bad - for an Asian?" I don't think so. She's amazing!
@primohomme castrati are just brilliant haaa i cant remember who but one could do a thousand note passage in a minuet with one breath haa they were simply amazing but its a good thing they dont exist anymore :)
Thankfully we don't do such barbaric things anymore and I don't wish to return to the days of the castrati. We will never know what a good castrato sounded like (Moreschi wasn't a good one...he was only a choral singer).
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.
@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?
@fonteyn9 WOW I completely agree with you. Some composers were .. em.. sadistic with poor singers hahaha Well, I personally don't like sumi jo and that obviously doesn't mean she is a bad singer haha but omg this is a really .. REALLY challenging aria and she performed it really well... her coloratura is awesome! but I still prefer Bartoli's rendition .. well I just love her, she's my favourite singer in the world =3
Non basta essere brave, fare i vocalizzi, studiare, esercitarsi....bisogna saper interpretare, emozionare, avere intensità e profondità...quindi o lei é sopravvaluta, oppure le mie orecchie sono abituate a qualcosa di meglio! 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!
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...
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.
I like it... not everyone has to sing as Bartoli, each one has her personal style, and that is all what music is about.
Sorry, she has an ampty style.
Si totalmente cierto. Aunque de igual manera tanto Bartoli como Sumijo lo hacen espectacularmente cada una a su estilo
I agree, both (Bartoli and Sumi Jo) are great and I love both renditions 😍❤
No, esta musica debe cantarse como está escrita.
@@cguzmmangthis is mezzo soprano song. You have to know that
Stupenda! Mi piace molto queste arie vivace! E anche l'abito è un'opera d'arte.
Sumi Jo versetzt mich immer wieder neu in Euphorie für ihre wunderschöne Stimme (und, keinem weitersagen, für ihre Schönheit)!
Now that’s what an actual good sound opera should sound like!!! Well supported, transparent, no wobbly voice or unstable tone,
Fine pianist. I like this interpretation. Fresh. Musical. Trchnically fabulous. A really superbe recording. Well done.
It's just amaze how many colors she brings to this music. Amazing performance. Great rendition!
Exactly! She brings in a lovely varied palette.
its just astonishing...like, who knew the human voice could do that?
I love both Sumi Jo and Cecilia Bartoli in this aria!!!
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!
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 !!!
Wenn man diese brilliante Leichtigkeit mit manchen anderen Versionen vergleicht, wächst die Erkenntnis: Sumi Jo ist einfach das absolut höchste Ergötzen!
no entiendo porque comparan tanto cada quien tiene su estilo esta interpretacion me encanto lo hiso perfecto en mi opinion ❤️
She makes it sound easy to sing. Great performance.
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 :)
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.
Jessye Norman would say "didn't you realize that pigeon holes are only comfortable for pigeons?"
@@baritonebynight But isn't this a transposition for soprano tessitura, at least a higher scale than mezzosoprano's?
@@gilbert-noelsfeir4842 You miss the point. Nobody cares!
BRAVISSIMA!!! che bella voce!!!, per me la vera diva d'oggi,Sumi Jo!!!
Summy Jo estupenda y el pianista ni se diga bravo
Me encanta cuanto buen hacer y derroche de energía maravillosa
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.
VERY GOOD !!

Cecilia Bartoli!
@@utoobah Cecilia Bartoli ha la voce traballante? 😯Guagliò tu nun staje bbuon, te ha fa verè a ' nu bbuon miereche 😡
박력 넘치네요 이렇게 힘있게 부르는 사람 아직 본적이 없네요 멋져요 힘들어 하지도 않는것 같아요
После Чечилии Бартоли вообще не впечатлила.
Bartoli has a non traditional and somewhat controversial technique that works for her alone. Jo sings it with conventional technique.
If only Vivaldi knew one day she gonna perform this magnificent piece....
Very brave woman with matchless qualities. Let us just enjoy her for the gifts she has and shares with us.
just bear in mind that while she's having this recital, it's her father's funeral on the other side of the world. This recital is her tribute to her dead father.
와... 갓수미!!!❤️심지어 여유로워보이심
카스트라토를 위한곡인데도 콜로라투라가 이 곡을 소화했다는게 정말대단하다고 생각해요(^o^)
Dispide of not looking "'Agitata", her performance is lovely
이 곡을 들을때는 그녀가 정말 사람일까? 라는 의문이 든다... 놀라울따름이다.
I love how such an excellent coloratura sang this in a mezzo style and so different from Bartoli or Cangemi. All amazing for sure, but Sumi did flawlessly here in such a brilliant manner!
콜로라투라 소프라노가 이곡을 제대로 소화한다는것 자체가 어려운일인데 조수미씨는 아주잘 소화하셨다고 생각해요
@jmsampietro En realidad solo es una versión distinta de lo que estamos acostumbrados a escuchar con esta aria, Sumi Jo da una buena y distinta forma de escuchar este tema pues ella es soprano y una de las más respetadas en su generación, una de las mejores voces actuales
Why did she omit B part? The Baroque aria should consists with Da capo form with middle B part. This is very important terms at all.
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!
Grandiosa técnica: insuperable.

Que bom né!! Amo muito Vivaldi. Eu escuto desde criança pq meu pai amava, me lembro de brincar com essa trilha sonora 😍
Operático.
It';s mezzo-coloratura Aria.
omg - someone please organise that mans music! so off putting. She, on the other hand is extraordinary! love you Sumi :)
Adam you're awesome
that's such a mess haha
io non amo particolarmente la bartoli, ma non c'è paragone, la bartoli in confronti è una dea
Magnific
Cecilia es Cecilia,pero esta mujer no desmerece nada.Muy buena.
Estoy harto de todo el mundo haciendo comparacion entre esta interpretacion y la de Cecilia. Si Cecilia era mejor, pero esta es una interpretacion valida. Y no era tan mala. Porfa! Dejala en paz y apreciala por lo que es.
This song for Mezzo soprano however Sumi is a high tone soprano rite?

Einfach erfrischend.
@allthenamesrtook It was 250 on one breath, with a sustainable length of over a minute and was attributed to the castrato Farinelli by Joachim Quantz.
Beautiful😍💓 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I like Sumi Jo's rendition more than Bartoli's. I don't like Bartoli's voice, too mechanic. Not saying she's not good, but I prefer Sumo Jo 💕💗🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹bravoooooo

I have a feeling that she cuts it in pieces to be able to sing it... i am not an expert, this is my feeling, especially after Bartoli...
yup, she does
BRAVISSIMA!!!!
Cecilia is the best
Nice I can definitely hear the accent 👌

@@skyhaileducation24 because this aria is not for cololatura
Sumi jo is cololatura soprano
Her voice and interpretion is too much snuffed. She lacks the soul.

In my world Sumi Jo is and always has been number one.
Sarò anche l'unico a pensarla così, ma non ci siamo proprio sia come accompagnamento che come canto.
thank you
the pianist doesn't "hesitate with the tempo" -- he RUSHES as soon as a more difficult (pianisticly) passage comes!

Je trouve sa prononciation beaucoup plus propre que celle de Bartoli qui applatit les sons et les décolore souvent !
Now after your comment, we put away Bartoli 😂
Amazing!!!
@Denuhm that is a question!
마지막부분은 조금 바꿔서 부른건가..와
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.
Sumi Jo could care less what you think.....when you do a recital with piano you do a recital with piano.
Il y a trop de cons dans les commentaires.
Brava , soomi!
i only seem to find concert performances of Sumi Jo. Does she do opera too or does she stick to recitals?
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.
It is indeed hard to find her doing operas on UA-cam, though there are some great recording of her live operas if you dig a bit deeper~~ Like La Sonnambula, good luck on treasure hunting :)
This is simply a fucking SAD performance!!!
I don't get it, why's everyone bitching 'bout this? It's not THAT bad. And for your information, Bartoli doesn't own this aria. She owns Armatae Face, but not this. This one is better done by both Emma Kirkby and Veronica Cangemi. :)

I know ive sung it, (I'm a countertenor) but today its seen as a mezzo song becuase there really arn't any castri 'running' around anymore :P
Por algo fue una de las engreídas de Karajan...

Anybody complaining about her repertoire choice needs to unstuff their shirt.
Non basta essere brave, fare i vocalizzi, studiare, esercitarsi....bisogna saper interpretare, emozionare, avere intensità e profondità...quindi o lei é sopravvaluta, oppure le mie orecchie sono abituate a qualcosa di meglio!
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!
In minute 2:13 she does NOT sing the really low notes (deep F#3) and sings a different not original version... as she is not mezzo.
She is A fake soprano with noll voice...and with bad technic
Geballte Unkenntnis von Kritikastern.
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...
