Cecilia Bartoli in Rossini's La Cenerentola. Met, 1997 For a free translation of the following aria into english see the link below: operainenglish.blogspot.com/20...
I think Cecilia's success is due in part to the fact that the voice really SPEAKS and you hear her and her individuality. She is unique. She's not just singing. She's a breathing, musical actress. Plus her tone is brilliant and bell-like.
Faces??? Her Faces” are what makes her beautiful! Her entire heart and soul is put into her performances. She sings like nobody I’ve ever heard before. Dear GOD! Her talent is monumental!
@@crazyorganist1609 , che paragone impossibile. Bartoli molto finta...un frullatore impazzito e in teatro la voce non va oltre la quarta fila di poltrone.
Really? your commenting on faces? REALLY?! you can't ignore a facial expression for five seconds to realize this is the most passionate and most brilliantly executed version of this aria on all of youtube and that you'd probably never be so lucky in your life to experience such perfection in a live performance?!
@@motionlessen_blanc02 I said something kind and that's your response? You missed a comma after "when you sing". And when you typed sadist, you clearly meant halfwit.
@@motionlessen_blanc02 Well, if English is not your first language, then it is understandable that you would screw up on nuance, and tone. But you DID come across very sarcastic and rude. Remember that humor and tone do not come across well with the written word.
I remember seeing this on T.V when I was a little girl. I fell in absolute love with Cecila Bartoli. I made my mother buy me the tape, but it was ruined in the beginning. She wanted to return it and I cried my eyes out until she had my uncle splice it for me, lol. I was only about 5 or so, I think.
I have to watch this video at the beginning of my week, every week, to remind myself to always strive to be excellent in what I do. Cecilia you inspire me everyday! Continue to be great you Legend.
This aria and this incredible performance reminds me of the uniqueness of Rossini: nicknamed "Il Tedeschino" (the "little German") for his devotion to Mozart and Haydn, Rossini is a contemporary of Paganini and as such he manages to perfectly combine a thickness of music texture which is unusual for most opera composers, with a special taste for virtuoso music writing. Cecilia Bartoli is simply perfect here, in her unique ability to combine voice agility, breath control and stage presence. It is rather obvious (as it is baseless) the remark that Cecilia is "too perfect" and as such less appealing than other "more imperfect" voices. Same comment made about other virtuoso masters like (just to remain with Paganini) Shlomo Mintz. Nonsense. Cecilia Bartoli in this execution is pure beauty, just... defiant in her awareness of being unique and above other interpreters. You can just love her.
Cecilia knows no peers, argue as you will. Not for nothing is she known as the queen of agility. Her facial expressions make her a joy to watch. Never have I seen such a skilled performer who exhibited so much pleasure at singing. I so agree. Brava Cecilia! Encore!
I've always thought that Cecilia was brilliant, but this is just breath-taking. If I ever get to see her live, it will be an absolute honour. Fantastic!
Electrifying moment! The bouquet tossing was unplanned She stunned everyone around her that the flower guy forgot the bouquet Future cinderellas made sure to hold the flowers prior to running up the cake
I so hope that they put this broadcast out on DVD. Everyone was simply perfect, and the production was super fun! Ramon rocked as much as Cecilia, who must be the best Cenerentola ever. And what a great orchestral support from Maestro Levine! That last scene is just too cute!!!
I am A violinist, and by watching Mrs Cecilia Bartoli , I Have altogether become a better player. I am eternally grateful to God for knowing Cecila Bartoli
BRAVO BRAVO BRAVO!!! What a truly wonderful recording! This unique Lady makes the almost impossible look effortless, absolutely superb!!!! Blessings peace and love to all.
I've watched a few other versions of this aria, and none even come close to this performance. I can't even bear to listen to this aria unless Bartoli is singing it.
Agreed!!! The coloraturo style from another singer sound very weak and subtle and it's not so fun to listen to it. And yes, she is the best one to sing this song. :)
This is the beginning of her great period. Before this she was one of the best, from this point and forward she´s the best. And that´s because of her way to sing, to use her body not only her technique. She is a living phenomena!!!
Apart from the immense talent, the sheer joy that bounces off her face when she’s singing is inspiring enough for even a tuneless wonder to start singing; what a fantastic treat to watch this!
A Cecilia já se superou em outras interpretações desta mesma ária, mas esta, supera na performance em minha opinião. Ela brinca com a voz. Quero um dia imperfeitamente interpretar este momento com o que sobrou do meu soprano de coloratura.
Signora Bartoli is the best Mezzo in the 21th century....I love this performance she fill every role that she sing witn joy and enormous happiness. I don't understand how people can dislike her.
Deslumbrante, impecable... ¡Única la capacidad de Cecilia Bartoli para la coloratura, claro en gran parte se debe (o determinada por) a que es mezzo y tiene gran facilidad para las agilidades en esas notas graves. En fin, bellisimo...
She is amazing. Such a lovable, spirited performer. As for the aspirated coloratura, Bartoli is a serious scholar of the music of this period, so she must know if this is in line with what that period/style required. She a scholar, studies her the background of her music (not just the notes); she's not just soundbox like some contemporary divas
Bravo Cecilia!!! I came upon this while working a guitar piece by Mauro Giuliani (a series of variations based on this Opera). The guitar piece doesn't even compare! Absolutely wonderful performance. What expressive, exciting, virtuoso performance...amazing
Bravisimoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo GRANDE GRANDE GRANDE......................... CECILIA.
Realmente escucho a Cecilia en non piu mesta, y cada vez me gusta mas.....me gusto mucho la version de Tuba Semmingsen...pero Cecilia no se queda atras, impecable, brillante,.....centellante,....Entre el genio de Rossini, y la actuacion de Cecilia, me saco el sombrero y desde mis viceras prorrumpo en ''Magistral, arrebatador...hasta las estrellas....''
Thank you so much Cecilia, I really really enjoyed listening to you singing this so magnificently and with so much passion and sensitivity too. Please stay safe and well too xxx Mags
What a heavenly joy it is to listen to the incomparable Cecilia Bartoli singing Rossini. She absolutely lives every second of the role. She is fantastic just love her to bits.
it's even more wonderful knowing that they act in a different way, sing in a different way and are both brilliant, this should happen all the time of course :)
Its incredibile. I hear this for the first time. In thougt that there was only Conchita Supervia who could do this, but Cecilia is overwhelming. Thank you Gabba02 !! Wow !!! Hans NL

She can make what ever faces she damn well pleases, those runs are the most amazing runs I`ve ever heard in my life.
Could not agree more. The "faces" she makes that people complain about: I invite them to do what she does. Then you have a right to complain.
Faces??? Her Faces” are what makes her beautiful! Her entire heart and soul is put into her performances. She sings like nobody I’ve ever heard before. Dear GOD! Her talent is monumental!
Well it is not only the voice!
There is temper, joy, charme and humour.
It makes you smile!
I'm loving the crazy eyes
Her majesty, Cecilia Bartoli, the Queen of coloratura!
No she's not. Queens of coloratura were Sutherland and Callas
@@crazyorganist1609 , che paragone impossibile. Bartoli molto finta...un frullatore impazzito e in teatro la voce non va oltre la quarta fila di poltrone.
@@crazyorganist1609Callas wasn't a coloratura....

Perfection! That’s what one experiences hearing La Regina della coloratura !
Inhuman! She's a monster! I've never heard anything so incredible in my life. What vocal agility.0
She's not a monster... She's a robot. 😌🤖
No living creature is capable of doing that, and no one can convince me otherwise. 🧐
You want vocal agility. Listen to Sutherland
I didn't realise that the human voice was able to do such things. Amazing and fantastic.

For sheer breath and voice control you can't beat Bartoli, and that while she keeps her expressions so fresh and innocent!

There is no one like her! Perfection ... i can't even...
This is fantastic!!!!!! Never heard any singer to sing this way. She is perfect.
Sublime!!!!!!!
I can feel her joy and happiness with the palm of my hands

I have this recording on DVD... the entire Opera is amazing. Cecila Bartoli did not disappoint for a second.
Absolutely beautiful! I've loved her voice from the first time I heard it over 20 years ago.
Keep coming back to hear Cecila sing this aria. She gives me chills from head to toe with joy and tears!
Meravigliosa. Che talento, fuori dal mondo..
Electrifying moment! The bouquet tossing was unplanned She stunned everyone around her that the flower guy forgot the bouquet Future cinderellas made sure to hold the flowers prior to running up the cake
Cecilia is my favorite female singer! i love listening to her sing! its so inspiring!
That sonorous intensity in Bartoli's voice is fascinating to listen to. One can appreciate the dynamic range and rich resonance. SUPERB DIVA!!!
I so hope that they put this broadcast out on DVD. Everyone was simply perfect, and the production was super fun! Ramon rocked as much as Cecilia, who must be the best Cenerentola ever. And what a great orchestral support from Maestro Levine! That last scene is just too cute!!!
Cecilia, if the Universe is even more brighter that ever in these days is because of you. Happy birthday!
Quelle performance, je suis en admiration
Very good
Un immense talent, la meilleure mezzo soprano pour moi....
I am A violinist, and by watching Mrs Cecilia Bartoli , I Have altogether become a better player.
I am eternally grateful to God for knowing Cecila Bartoli
¡Súper! Es una me mis mezzosopranos favoritas, junto con la maestra Horne. ¡Una interpretación majestuosa!

Try listening to Teresa Berganza. Don't get me wrong, Cecilia Bartoli ain't shabby.
Nope, Berganza's coloratura is contrived and labored. No one does coloratura like Bartoli!
Just took a listen as you suggested and while good, she's not as good as Bartoli. Sorry.
Esta mujer es increible, ¡¡que control de la voz!! posiblemente la mejor Mezzo actual (para mi gusto) ;)
being a young person,i love bartoli. she connects us with the spirit of the arias of the 1800s making a modern sound that I appreciate.
It never gets old. Thrilling singing.
Magnifica Cecilia. She leaves me speechless, in awe
Cecilia is fantastic! She is absolutely amazing and wonderful!
I adore her! A living legend.
love her interpretation!
i don't think anyone can watch this and not smile
brava!!!!!!!!!iI'm crying..
This is the beginning of her great period. Before this she was one of the best, from this point and forward she´s the best. And that´s because of her way to sing, to use her body not only her technique. She is a living phenomena!!!

E uma perfeicao devo concordar eu como c9ntra Tenor fico encantado com Cecilia
her agility is amazing! it looks like it's so easy for her and it always sounds perfect.
How utterly amazing is her voice. And so effortless
Signora Bartoli is the best Mezzo in the 21th century....I love this performance she fill every role that she sing witn joy and enormous happiness. I don't understand how people can dislike her.
mi sa che Gesù nell'ultimo giorno risusciterà Rossini, facendogli udire la sua aria cantata dalla Bartoli.
Deslumbrante, impecable...
¡Única la capacidad de Cecilia Bartoli para la coloratura, claro en gran parte se debe (o determinada por) a que es mezzo y tiene gran facilidad para las agilidades en esas notas graves. En fin, bellisimo...
she has got the moust perfect coloratura,speed & entonation the best performance by non piu mesta
Sarebbe bello sentirla anche in teatro. Dopo la quarta fila....
Solo in Italia circolano questi luoghi comuni. Tenetevi i vostri urlatori.
Ecco finalmente qualcuno che la pensa come me ...al di là della voce piena d aria nulla appoggio ...mai piaciuta 😢
Absolutely stunning! What a magnificent voice.
People go to see Cecila Sing This One ARIA Her Voice So Perfect' Beautiful.

one of the best performances.. Bartoli is a pure nerve, amazing singer. I like Ewa Podles's too and Joyce Didonato's performance
Jennifer Larmore also sings a wonderful Cinderella. I believe there's a clip on youtube.
genial !!! fiecare nota , fiecare bobitza se aude impecabil ! nu degeaba e preferata mea !
Marvelous!!!! What a vocal instrumetal technique that remains so musical and expressive at the time.
Colour of voice, virtuosity and interpretation. Best of the best.
Cecilia Bartoli is just amazing, second to none! Wow! I stand in awe. She is a gift from God!

Cecila Bartoli - La Cenerentola - Non piu mesta
Met 1997
Nobody can sing like Bartoli in La Cenerentola. Callas too. It's an amazing voice of opera
amazing, for me the best version
it's even more wonderful knowing that they act in a different way, sing in a different way and are both brilliant, this should happen all the time of course :)
LOOOOOL! It is 76 now... and counting?.... LOOOOOOOOOOOL!!!!!
I am SPEECHLESS....Splendida interpretazione.....
Fantastica, una voce come nessuna!!
Its incredibile. I hear this for the first time. In thougt that there was only Conchita Supervia who could do this, but Cecilia is overwhelming. Thank you Gabba02 !!
Wow !!!
Hans NL
Simply brilliant...
AMEN. Only word that can come out of my mouth. Bravo only Cecilia can do that.
As I LOVE colorature I just MUST love Cecilia! One of the singers I still must see life!
Simply THE BEST! Bravissima!!!!
This woman's voice is freaky! How can any human sing like that? I have never heard "Non piu mesta" sung that well. She is a goddess!
