THE NIGHTINGALE - ALABIEV
Alyabyev's most famous work is The Nightingale (Соловей), a song based on a poem by Anton Delvig. It was composed while Alyabyev was in prison, in 1825. It has entered Russian consciousness as akin to a folk song. The song became more widely known after having been introduced into Rosina's singing lesson scene in Gioachino Rossini's The Barber of Seville.

Hugely impressive considering these E7s F7s and F7 sharps are slightly higher than the ending of Poor Wandering One.

BRAVA COLORATURA BRAVA PİANİSTA...COMPLİMENTİ...
Molto grazie!
This is the most beautiful aria I have ever heard, but most other performances of this peice are different and missess some parts that this one has. Is there a reason for this and is there sheet music for this arrangement?
I’m wondering the same
It's an art song, it's not an aria. In general - both in "coloratura showcase" art songs and in bel canto operas - it's normal for coloratura sopranos to add different ornamentation in some places. BTW - this is beautiful, and there are other beautiful performances as you've find out, but my favorite is Evgenia Miroshnichenko. As many great singers from the old USSR, she wasn't known in the West.
Check Solomia Lukyanets on this song, she is a much better singer than the above false note high note squeaker. And then Solomia latest ""Mercè, dilette amiche" (G. Verdi)
@@yogajedi3337 Actually, I don't normally do it at all, but just to demonstrate it to you, I just "liked" my comment it simply to show you that the first "like" was not mine. BTW - I don't actually remember "meeting" you on any of the comments I posted or replied to, so I fail to understand the reason for your idiotic ad hominem attack. Incidentally, I don't remember having any kind of communication with you recently, so unless you followed all my comments and replies, I am not sure how you know how many "likes" they have. Oh wait, you probably ASSume that anybody with one "like" likes their own comments. Well, you know what they say about ASSume. Sorry, but I feel very strongly about NOT liking my own comments, so this type of idiotic comment offends me. Even if it is someone I don't know or care about.
Se cuando una soprano de coloratura es buena cuando lo que canta no me molesta al oído, las palabras sobras.

In a church, church music should be sung and played. MATTHEW 21: 13 "It is written, My house shall be called the house of prayer."
Nice but cannot compare to the rendition by Bogna Sokorska
Can her voice break glass
Shut up you stupid troll
