HERMOSA VOZ LA ELINA GARANCA.
SENSATIONAL! REVELATORY! It's not often an artist comes along that breathes "New Life" into a beloved old chestnut like this with her 'creamy, dreamy mezzo' and her insight. "When you want to find a gesture, how to act onstage, all you have to do is listen to the music. The composer has already seen to that. If you take the trouble to listen with your soul and ears, you will find every gesture there." Elina Garanca is obviously a very good listener.
So the audience, as Alban Berg said for Wozzeck, doesn't need to know this hidden and complex plot that Gioacchino Rossini knew how to elaborate, and Elina knows how to extricate. The public is now concentrated only on the human subtlety of this funny and tender woman called Rosina. For me, this is the magic of art and Elina Garanca is one of the greates and most refined singers ever.
Je viens de regarder une vidéo lettone de 2001 où l'on voit Elina 25 ans chanter Rosine à l'opéra de Francfort. Elle est sublissime.En beauté de voix, talent et classe, Elina se situe plusieurs niveaux au dessus de Di Donato, Bartoli et toutes les autres. Vous ne me ferez jamais changer d' avis
I completely agree with you. I haven't been in the Met in person, but in our country (Croatia) we could see the performance in the concert hall on video. I was so AMAZED by her performance full of deep and sincere emotion throughout the role, not only Non piu' mesta.
She makes me think I may not hate Rossini but only the horrid singers who sing it badly. Ms Garanca is such a good singer she makes the runs exciting and beautiful!!!
Thanks Techtrom for giving us the oportunity to hear such magnificent singer. And thanks to you Claudia for ending it to me! I t is on its way to a friend who I know will love this as much as I do.
l'ho ascoltata in diretta su radio 3 in occasione del concerto di apertura di Lucerna,sotto la direzione di Abbado ha esguito "Shéhérazade" di Ravel è stata un interpretazione bella è raffinata,ha avuto un unanime consenso
It is unusual but why not. Heartening to see more women taking leading roles especially where it has traditionally been a male preserve. My current favourites being Joanne Shaw Taylor and Samantha Fish sticking it to the guys. Only seen two other examples, one was with Jackie Evancho singing in St. Petersburg (Russia, not the U.S.) and one in Gothenburg (Barbara Hannigen)where she performed and conducted. ua-cam.com/video/x-YPTm8iMKA/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/sFFpzip-SZk/v-deo.html
What an incredibly difficult musical score for a soprano (or any singer!) I am totally impressed with this lady's natural gift and professional ability to sing that arrangement so "easily" and beautifully! Bravo, Madam Garanca!
J'avoue qu'après l'avoir appréciée dans des airs plus pour coloratura, je ne m'attendais pas à une Rosine aussi pétillante voire toute en légèreté... Bravo Madame je suis hyper agréablement surpris... !!!!!
The range is about what you have from the nature AND what you have learnt. One can't pretend to have a multioctave voice if one just doesn't have it - and, on the other hand, a multioctave voice is of very little use if one doesn'tknow what to do with it. As for Elina, to my mind she can manage very well what she has.
i saw her at the met last night and she was AMAZING. she was so good that i'm thinking of seeing it again!! this video is great, but it does NOT do justice to the performance i saw last night! if you're in the area, i strongly suggest you go and see it!
I really have to diagree. While I too do not love her singing 'una voce poco fa' I saw her play Carmen in London last night and she was absolutely sensational, in both her singing and acting. I'd highly recommend going to see her in this role. Magical!
Hermosa voz. Mantiene uniforme el color de la voz en todos los registros, agudo, medio y grave. Ademas, es una dama muy hermosa. Su pronunciacion es clara y se le entiende.
I like both of them. I just heard Joyce DiDonato at a recital in Carnegie Hall, and then a couple of days later Elina Garanca as Sesto in La Clemenza di Tito at the Met and they are both wonderful, but different, I'd be hard pressed to say whom I prefer. Probably in this repertory - Joyce DiDonato, you have a point, but they are both great. Different too.
Her voice has the size and width of a Soprano. Some people actually think she's a Spinto soprano trained as a mezzo. She is just too amazing. Beautiful voice voice with richness and core. What would the world of Opera be without the richness of the Mezzo-soprano? I love hearing a great mezzo in opera
De l’opéra « Le Barbier de Séville » le plus connu de Gioacchino Rossini, Diva doublée d’une talentueuse actrice, Elïna Garanča pastiche d’une extraordinaire virtuosité d’humour la célèbre l’aria de la Rosine amoureuse « j’ai attendu une voix » (‘Una voce poco fa’). L’accompagnateur, le plus brillant de la Norvège, au piano Håvard Gimse en pimente l’inattendue présentation humoristique de l’aria d’amour avec l’attaque du récital de sa touche audacieuse au rythme entraînant. Avec le plein épanouissement de sa beauté vocale du lyrique, Elïna finit par moduler les couleurs douces de sa voix dans les sonorités du coquin moqueur aux intonations tendres. L’exquise grâce du mimique faciale et l’élégance des gestes d’une grande actrice accomplie, harmonise avec les surprenantes expressions coquines de sa merveilleuse voix aux inépuisables adaptions, modulations et variations. Humour surprenant dans le décor stylisé de la digne cérémonie du Prix Nobel de la Paix de 2007, devant un public sélecte du grand monde cultivé ! Noblesse oblige. En chantant dans le style à ravir d’une coquine moqueuse, Elïna toujours vêtu en concert d’une élégance témoignant de son goût raffiné en harmonie de la souplesse de la ravissante sculpture de sa délicate féminité galbée d’une beauté expressive, radiant vers l’auditoire choisi la chaleur d’une extraordinaire déesse du bel canto. Jeune-fille, Elïna rêvait devenir une princesse. Aujourd’hui, la sublime déesse rentre dans l’Histoire en Reine. Peter, son « Cavalier de Prose » enchanté.
Moi aussi j'adore Miah Persson mais reconaissons qu'Elina est nettement au dessus des autres cantatrices, car en plus d'avoir une voix d'une grande beauté, cette voix possède le velours et la volupté et cela c'est RARISSIME. Une par siècle parait-il
@sycamoretree111 Thank you for the details on the Latvians. I had not known their relationship to other Europeans. May I assume that Elina is a perfect example of a Latvian? She seems perfect regardless I suppose.. I love how she presents herself and song. I wish I could afford the trip to the Met in January to be there for Carmen.
Elina oltre a possedere un tono naturale molto interessante esegue il famoso brano accentando a fondo vocali e appoggi. Apprezzo anche le sue varianti. Come si muove nel finale secondo me è un segno di esperienza e di utilizzo delle doti canore in possesso. E' anche una donna meravigliosa. Ciao Elina !
you sure are hateful enough I can't fight hate or lack of taste, I can only indicate here that this amazing artist will not be brought down by anyone. Her amazing voice, her tone let her convey the softest and most touching emotion. I care about the music well she's a brilliant musician I care about the emotion well she brings me loads
Beautiful performance! If you think Ms. Garanca does not have fire and emotion, listen to her performance on the Opera Gala CD/DVD of Al pensar en el dueno by Chapi - fabulous!
Elina Garanča is my favorite mezzo. She has it all.
Elina Garanca's voice shimmers like moonlight on a still lake. Beautiful!
This woman is going to kill me one day. I can't take just how effortless she makes these pieces seem
Esta señora es una maravilla. Como canta y físicamente es muy guapa.
Lo tiene todo. Viva la madre que te trajo al mundo y que se llama Ana.
Elina posee una gran belleza física y vocal además de un gran carisma; ella es una artista consagrada... Pero como es de esperarse en éste medio no se puede estar ajeno a las críticas de personas que no son capaces de apreciar el arte y el sello personal de cada individuo; todas las mezzos o sopranos que tienen entre su repertorio esta pieza, en mayor o menor medida la dominan, y merece ser reconocido su trabajo y entrega. HERMOSA VOZ LA ELINA GARANCA.
Garanca has a beautiful, soaring, victorious voice well suited to Rosina's cavatina. For me she is the ultimate mezzo.
На мой взгляд, такая хрупкая блондинка с невероятно чувственным голосом - великолепное сочетание. Браво!
SENSATIONAL! REVELATORY! It's not often an artist comes along that breathes "New Life" into a beloved old chestnut like this with her 'creamy, dreamy mezzo' and her insight. "When you want to find a gesture, how to act onstage, all you have to do is listen to the music. The composer has already seen to that. If you take the trouble to listen with your soul and ears, you will find every gesture there." Elina Garanca is obviously a very good listener.
Elina is pure brilliance, perfection and the definition of beauty wow.
So the audience, as Alban Berg said for Wozzeck, doesn't need to know this hidden and complex plot that Gioacchino Rossini knew how to elaborate, and Elina knows how to extricate. The public is now concentrated only on the human subtlety of this funny and tender woman called Rosina.

Une matrise totale de la voix et de la présence sur scéne !!!!
Bravo et merci !!!!
Mi "voce" preferida siempre ha sido la de la Callas, pero con esta versión la dejo en segundo lugar.
Cada una tiene su estilo y su carisma. La Callas es la Callas i Garanca es Garanca: magnífica.
Elina Garanca is today the BEST Mezzo Sopran in world!
ThePilot314 Actually should be Cecilia Barotli, but they are both very good mezzos, I admit.
Андония Рабаджиева I would add to the list Joyce Di Donato, just listen to her singing this same aria
I've listened it too
+ThePilot314 I think Malena Erman is the BEST mezzo.
+ThePilot314 Les 3 mezzos citées ci-dessous sont Bonnes ou Très Bonnes mais Elina est EXCEPTIONNELLE, c'est tout à fait différent :) :)
What a woman what a voice!! the best yet.
Красавица Элина Гаранчи,сценична, мастерски исполняет,просто великолепно!!!
Je viens de regarder une vidéo lettone de 2001 où l'on voit Elina 25 ans chanter Rosine à l'opéra de Francfort. Elle est sublissime.En beauté de voix, talent et classe, Elina se situe plusieurs niveaux au dessus de Di Donato, Bartoli et toutes les autres.
Vous ne me ferez jamais changer d' avis
Elina's facial expressions while singing this aria are fabulous!! She is so gorgeous! I am completely smitten with her!!!
Love the "personal touch" she brings to this aria. Stop comparing with other mezzo sopranos. Each one is worth listening to.
La Rosina più affascinante che mai abbia calcato i palcoscenici,probabilmente la cantante più bella della storia del canto,brava Elina !
Per molti versi la sua voce personalissima e duttile riconduce al bel canto con una drammaticità sorprendente e suadente
die einmalige Elina Garanca :-). Thanks! :-)
This is one of my favorite renditions of this aria. :) She is wonderful both live and recorded. Her stage presence is outstanding!
She is equally gorgeous to listen to and to look at. Thank you for posting.
Grandiose Elina Garanca-Bravissima !!!!!!
Wirklich großartiger Sänger, sondern auch ein super charmante Frau.
Una grandiosa interpretación y una hermosa voz. Muy carismática.
What a wonderful, expressive performance of vocal gymnastics by Elina Garanca. Just WONDERFUL.
che bella voce brillante sopratutto quanto fino a acuto! meravigliso,elena!!!!!
I completely agree with you. I haven't been in the Met in person, but in our country (Croatia) we could see the performance in the concert hall on video. I was so AMAZED by her performance full of deep and sincere emotion throughout the role, not only Non piu' mesta.
She makes me think I may not hate Rossini but only the horrid singers who sing it badly. Ms Garanca is such a good singer she makes the runs exciting and beautiful!!!
this is one of my favorite performances of her!! she sings always beautiful but it is special
Elina è indubbiamente un connubio di bravura e bellezza. BRAVA
Thanks Techtrom for giving us the oportunity to hear such magnificent singer. And thanks to you Claudia for ending it to me! I t is on its way to a friend who I know will love this as much as I do.
Elina Garanca is one of the greatest. Magnifico
the most perfect take for Una Voce Poco Fa, in my humble opinion///
I totally agree! I was at the season premiere, what a show stopper!
Una personalissima INTERPRETAZIONE veramente da ammirare
l'ho ascoltata in diretta su radio 3 in occasione del concerto di apertura di Lucerna,sotto la direzione di Abbado ha esguito "Shéhérazade" di Ravel è stata un interpretazione bella è raffinata,ha avuto un unanime consenso
Excuse me. One of the best renditions of this. lovely.
always awesome to see a fellow lady holding the baton for a change!!
It is unusual but why not. Heartening to see more women taking leading roles especially where it has traditionally been a male preserve.

What an incredibly difficult musical score for a soprano (or any singer!) I am totally impressed with this lady's natural gift and professional ability to sing that arrangement so "easily" and beautifully! Bravo, Madam Garanca!
para mi genial, Elina Garanca tiene una viz genial,
una voce Poco fa
J'avoue qu'après l'avoir appréciée dans des airs plus pour coloratura, je ne m'attendais pas à une Rosine aussi pétillante voire toute en légèreté... Bravo Madame je suis hyper agréablement surpris... !!!!!
One of the finest mezzo soprano's I've ever heard.
The range is about what you have from the nature AND what you have learnt. One can't pretend to have a multioctave voice if one just doesn't have it - and, on the other hand, a multioctave voice is of very little use if one doesn'tknow what to do with it. As for Elina, to my mind she can manage very well what she has.
this has to bee one of the sexiest opera singer ever.
+wax? Indeed. You have to see her in the role of "Carmen". That is sheer visual pleasure...
Fabulous beautiful mezzo!❤
Wonderful Elina, thank you.
Beautiful!
Beatiful, great and elegant voice and mezzo actress!!
Rossini chantais par un rossignol !!!!!!! BRAVISSIMO,Immense ELINA.
Saw her in Carmen. She owns the role.
My daughter swears by that performance.
i saw her at the met last night and she was AMAZING.
she was so good that i'm thinking of seeing it again!!
this video is great, but it does NOT do justice to the performance i saw last night! if you're in the area, i strongly suggest you go and see it!
Agreed! I saw her the other day in La Cenerentola, and was blown away.
Still listening [11-15-23]: beautiful and restful even at 84.
to nagranie bardzo lubię, gdyż spotkały tu się dwie babeczki, przed którymi wymiękam: Elina i Keri-Lynn! thank you - techtrom.
what a composer, Rossini was a genius of the bel canto tradition, as this beauteous singer clearly demonstrates
BURVIIGI!!!! BRAVISIMO!!!
Wow, her voice is beautiful!!!
I just saw her at the Met...
GET TICKETS AND SEE HER!!! What a voice, she stole the show.
Even my dad, who doesn't like opera, discovered Garanca on his own and admitted she's great :)
she is amazing!!! i loved her!
Прекрасно изпълнение!
Extraordinaria, que nos de el placer de disfrutarla mucho tiempo!!!!!!!!!!
Bravissima e bellissima !!
This is every great singer's signature piece, and she is a very great singer
I really have to diagree. While I too do not love her singing 'una voce poco fa' I saw her play Carmen in London last night and she was absolutely sensational, in both her singing and acting. I'd highly recommend going to see her in this role. Magical!
Meravigliosamente brava!!!!!!
Magnífica, expresiva, brillante y con una depuradísima técnica.
E eu pouco conhecia a "tal" Elina, num duo do "The Flower Duet"!! Como ela canta bem, que gravação!! Parabéns!
ANA YOU ARE SO BEAUTIFUL ADORABLE SEDUCTIVE RAVISHING SENSUAL SEXY CAPTIVATING AND PASSIONATE ❤
Очень красивый голос, безупречная техника, просто супер!!!)...

Very nice. She brings something of her own to the piece.
Una voz increíblemente bella!!

She is just too amazing. Beautiful voice voice with richness and core.
What would the world of Opera be without the richness of the Mezzo-soprano?
I love hearing a great mezzo in opera
How I wish there was an adore rating, or "love" rating. because this woman is IT!
Great rendition, bravo Elina Garanca!
I truley enjoyed this piece:)
She is wonderful. Her voice is velvet like and full. What a pleasure!
Una voce poco fa + Elina Garanca = one of the "all time best" of music
Una voce senzationale.Interpretatione perfecta.
I would happily die listening to the voice of this beauty. She sings as though she's holding your hand and doing it just for you.
Wow. I just watched a much earlier video of her singing from this opera too. She's improved out of sight!

Yes, indeed. I've also seen her conducting Verdi's Rigoletto and she did great.
i love her! shes sooooo great
