    All these experts saying poor technique. Hahaha. She has had a great career singing over twenty years. Just because you don't like her, say so. Every singer figures out the way to sing for themselves. Their body, vocal cords etc. She figured out what works for her. Great I say.

      The same was said of Bartoli who's technique is unorthodox...it works for her and she learned that technique from her mother and has always sung that way. Her breath support is much higher than the way that the old Italian school teaches...yet she sings things nobody else can.

      I don’t think it’s so much the vibrato she’s having trouble with. It’s firing off 5 16th notes in one bout that’s getting the best of her! 🤣😂 But damned if she didn’t pull it off! If you were just listening and not watching, we’d probably be none the wiser. 😉

    Viveca Genaux is an artist of the highest order. I've seen her several times recently in concert in San Francisco and Berkeley, and her voice is even more spectacular in person. Contrary to many comments below, her voice is improving with age. It has an amazing range and sparks with a thousand colors! She is just entering her prime. Brava!

    I love to see this video before going to sleep :) There's the same concert of Vivica - Agitata realized in Köln. But, in my appreciation this is the best :) Not just the movement of the lips, How she can give life the partiture so preciseley! Bartoli is precious yes, but L'Agitata for a Mezzo sounds stronger. Bartoli, doesn't risk anything in the word "naufragar", Vivica does, she doesn't hesitate in mantaining the sound of deep desperation of the "due venti". I like it a lot. THANKS Wienerfr!!!

    • @geekbaritone
      @geekbaritone 9 років тому +26

      Thank you!, I'm not the only one that sees this poor technique, somehow she manages to keep on tempo though, she's using a V sound to sing some form of staccato, it's adding tension to the lips and the jaw and I'm not sure how she keeps the foaming saliva in check on both sides of her mouth. The tone changes should made by the Larynx and use vowel migration to do the runs as most other professionals do. Even Simone Kermes a very unconventional singer does not do this. I do like the timbre of her voice, she just needs better technique

    Thank you for your kind post. I was lectured last night on Caffarelli practising before the looking-glass to eradicate 'ugly grimaces'. I still maintain, as you yourself do, that the sound and beauty of the voice are the most important aspects in singing. Based on that criteria, Madame Genaux is magnificent.

    The most wonderful voice and timbre, great agility, and great balance between her chest and head voice. Such a level of mastery anyone with ears should able to hear how comfortable she is in her production. Nevermind her facial movements, they are not tricks or vocal tension, but just a habit/byproduct that frankly should be none of your concern.Anyone who feels clever saying "vavava" i would invite to listen without looking. You are being fooled by your eyes, it's obvious listening to it that there is no consonants thrown into her coloraturas whatsoever. If you can't use your ears, I don't know what business you have commenting on an opera video frankly.

      I agree, it is difficult to properly enunciate the lyrics without shaping the lips the way she does. The technique of the coloratura is among the most difficult to master, and she does so quite spectacularly! She gave a performance worthy of Vivaldi himself!

Let's see if they have accomplished 0.1%of what the artists they attack have in say... 20 years.Thank again Vivica for sharing your gift with us. HeartSong90,grow up,you have so much to learn!

How can there be 134 negative comments?These voters only pay attention to what they see and NOT to what can be heard.They are clearly outsiders.Pity they can give their negative opinion when it is not right. Why don't they "play" elsewhere and criticize non-classical singers(e.g. Patricia Kaas). Vivica Genaux is a genius.
