I'm an American who visited Vienna in December, and I too was a lucky man! She's the most complete Turandot I've ever heard - and my first Turandot was Gwyneth Jones!
Ahhhhhh I cant get enough of her Turandot... her magical voice and her expressions of the character is sooo intriguing and addictive and sooooo amazing
Creo que es la mejor soprano que he oido en este rol por estos años, una técnica impecable y respetuosa de la partitura, hoy todas gritan la turandot pero esta soprano es arte puro.
Асмик Григорян - Блестящая Турандот. После Великолепной Эвы Мартон невозможно Было никого слушать. А слушать Вас - это одно удовольствие!!! Звуковедение, Опора, Дыхание. Так и должно исполняться это произведение. Вокальная Школа Высокого Класса!!! Браво!!! Спасибо Большое!!!
Asmik Grigorian ? L'une des plus belles voix actuelles . A chacun de ses rôles, elle propose une intensité dramatique digne des plus grandes tragédiennes. Tour à tour fragile, tourmentée, névrosée, elle occupe la scène comme jamais. Bravissimo !
I had the pleasure of seeing her sensational Butterfly at the Met a couple of months ago. The audience was overjoyed to witness such a sublime performance. She is by far the best Butterfly I’ve ever seen.
She is the best. Her vocal quality had not been seen since the post-war period. Her vocal beauty and excellent technique. The psychological and technical approach to each of her roles borders on perfection.
Great rendition and those little dolls who are stacking bones 🦴 on her arms are creepy AF. If you think about it, Turandot is a creepy opera, which is what we love about it!
A phenomenal, outstanding Turandot with phenomenal phrasing, beautiful timbre and the needed steal in the voice. Bravissima for this inspiring interpretation!
@@little-963 She sang this role superb and what do I wish for more? Dramatic voices should be allowed to sing lyrical repertoire as well (if they like and can sing it) and so do I think that lyrical voices can sing dramatic parts if they can do it! And this interpretation serves 100% the music and character!
@@little-963 chill, my dear. There’s enough hatred in our world, there’s no reason to be so upset :) I enjoy very much to read how passionate you are about how the sound should be produced and you’re ready to use disrespectful language. There’s no reason to attack someone for expressing admiration, but of course do what you want, sing it better, come join us onstage, I’d be curious to hear you sing! Wishing you peace and light in your soul 🤍
She doesn't possess the requisite heft of a dramatic. It's a beautiful voice, but I do hope she'll stay in her lane vocally and not blow out her beautiful instrument.
To me all modern singers have sounded basically the same in this aria. Very wide vibrato and sounding like the tongue is flapping around inside the mouth (like "lolololololo"), scooping to the notes, sounding as if they push. Maybe they're not, maybe it's all part of a modern technique that's not unhealthy?
regia e scenografia vergognosa offende il capolavoro pucciniano. A Vienna non hanno soldi per eseguire un'opera nel contesto del libretto e nella scelta dell'autore ? Quattro stracci e una scenografia da nosocomio o peggio .. certi registi dovrebbero leggere le volontà dei librettisti e del compositore. Purtroppo la cultura qui non ha la sua casa.
As Senta in Bayreuth her singing and acting were great. Here she does not sing very clearly and it seems like she does not even understand what the role of Turandot is about. And who made this stupid production anyway????
I’ve never understood the appeal of Turandot. Her two big scenes are just a lot of screaming. The plot is ridiculous. The only genuine characters are Ping Pang Pong. But of course the tenor has Nessun Dorma, so everybody wants to hear it. Fanciulla, Tabarro, Angelica, and Schicchi are much better operas from Puccini’s later period.
Turandot is a mess. Apparently, neither the conductor nor Asmik is familiar with the form of the aria. You could fall asleep. The voice is wobbly - a strange vibrato, which in a couple of years with similar parts will turn into an ambulance signal. This aria is for a dramatic soprano, not a lyrical
@@justasceponis3931 The master class was given to you by the greatest singers of the past, from the surviving recordings of the 40s up to the 2000s. Listen to performances of 20-30, especially in the heyday of opera in the mid-20th century, and go back to Asmik. The answer will be obvious. And also: if the video is publicly available, then anyone can express not only unfounded praise, but also criticism.
The stress on the vocal chords cannot be ignored, but of course if you think you have to sing everything, it's not good for your voice, especially if you're not a dramatic soprano. Unfortunately, Grigorian is being pushed so hard by the feature pages that she probably doesn't even realize that she is following the same path as Kaufmann. Far too many roles in a short space of time, ever more dramatic and ever more exhausting. We can hear the result here and it will probably go downhill quickly. And the conductor? No words for such an uninspired "interpretation".
@@karilamminpaa8987 you must have already noticed her diction. that is a mess. meanwhile, her top notes don’t ring at all. there is no substance in her top range. and about her middle range, just another typical lyrical soprano ( only with a bigger forced/extra vibrato). the whole aria should sound exciting, but she cannot put strength, power and dignity to each note. frankly, I think this is really mediocre. she should be casted as Liu.
@@little-963that's what they ALWAYS do... Esp last 50 years. Taking someone with a popular look or following and putting them in heavier roles. Oropesa as Violetta, small voice, Cheryl Studer, clearly a full lyric, heavy Straussian & other big roles, ruined it for her.
@@smurf902 well i had this discussion before here, its because the vocal teachers cant guide the bigger voices ,there are many undeveloped dramatic sopranos that have been told that they are mezzos and that's why we dont have real dramatic sopranos
Bellissima voce, ottima presenza scenica, grande drammaticità, artista prima e oltre che cantante. Cos'altro volere di piu?
Asmik you are a freaking inspiration. Thank you for not screaming it out like 80% of sopranos out there. Don’t listen to a single critic PLEASE🫶
Настоящее лирико- драматическое сопрано и по эмоциям и тембру .
Берегите голос
И тенора, заткнула за пояс 😂молодец
Yes, I loved the singing instead of screaming. There is a soprano who sings this at the Met and I hear such screamy effort, I worry for her health.
Even when not screaming, she easily covered Jonas in the house. Truly awesome voice!
Your Turando is a worthy achievement of humankind. Nothing short of a legend. Bless You.
My horrible mistake of leaving T out - I do know it is TurandoT. Mea culpa
This American living in Vienna is a lucky man...I saw Asmik in this role at Staatsoper a few weeks ago. Phenomenal. Stunning.

Очень красивая Турандот и пение отличное!!! ❤👏
Bravo Asmik !!j’attends de vous un autre opéra avec Jonas. Kaufman’ car je vous adore tous les deux. ❤️🎶❤️❤️❤️❤️
Wahnsinn, diese Tessitura !!!!!
Bravooooo👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏💐
Brava! In quest'area non mi piace mai nessuna,invece lei mi convince e mi prende!!!🎉
Wonderful interpretation!
Bravo Asmik Grigorian for this amazing Turandot. ❤
Прекрасная из прекраснейших Асмик Джан, Благослови Господи 🙏
Magnifique! Brava!
Brano musicale di rara bellezza cantata in modo splendido come in passato veniva cantata altrettando magnificamente da talentuose soprano.
Asmik your art is sublime
Thank you for not shrieking. I wish Opera was like Ballet. Choreography is often modified.
Hope this summer we will enjoy the best Turandot in Weiner Staatsopera. It's just petrifying.
She doesn't possess the requisite heft of a dramatic. It's a beautiful voice, but I do hope she'll stay in her lane vocally and not blow out her beautiful instrument.
Großartig 👏 anders 🙏 authentisch 👌 interessante Inszenierung 🎉
gut
C’est une mise en scène de dément les pauvres chanteurs relèvent le défi 😊
3:57
Bravissima! Superbe voix puissante, à la belle couleur sur tous les registres. Mise en scène de MERDE! Poor f***g Staatsoper: a bloody shame!
¡Qué puesta en escena tan horrible.No tiene nada que ver con la ópera.Total incoherencia!!!
Bravissima Asmik!!!♥
Those dolls are creepy. is that really Jonas Kauffman!

1-0 to the soprano!!
Great singing, awfull staging
Este papel no es para ella
Weak, shreaking Principessa

Bellissima voce , purtroppo questa brava ragazza non canta all’italiana , peccato .
il vecchio
Could you explain a little bit more about that? What does that mean? Thank you!
Qualidade vocal dos cantores atuais é muito inferior aos clássicos do passado...
Que figurino tosco e sem sentido..
Puccini se revira no túmulo...

Our ears/brains obviously so different. Che peccato that you cannot enjoy this. I certainly do.
@@karilamminpaa8987 for some watermelon and for others pork cartilage.
And you know how this aria has to be performed, right? Can you give us masterclasses?

The conductor needs a coffee or Red Bull! 😴
Turandot? hardly adequate for Liu.
Turandot - like any opera role - demands more voices than just one. Colouring, nuances etc. I get all in Asmik's voice. Such a pity that you do not.
