- Encore of Edita Gruberova at the Holland Festival at the Concertgebouw Amsterdam: Cavatina "O luce di quest'anima" from Donizetti's Linda di Chamounix. (June 24, 2007)
I was trying to find a video of her singing this aria and I hesitated a second when I realised this was in 2007 as I wanted to find something of her prime... and it just turns out every year is her prime... her voice barely has changed throughout her career
She sings very well in this phase of life. Like Sutherland, she took good care of her instument so that she could continue to
sing at this age. Brava.
I was there!!!
You really missed a legendary evening!!
No me canso de ver la perfección y ejecución de esta gran soprano, en un aria sumamente difícil…
Sin dudas! Gran solvencia y seguridad!!!
Never dull, God love her. She is a legend in her own time.
little bit... but after the INCREDIBLE aria she did sing ... is nothing... all the high notes where great... She just did relaxed after the las high note and abbandone the tension for the last note... she is human.. don't forget!! She simply the very best... I just love her! :) a real gift from god... BRAVA EDITA!!
Que maravilla!!! No hay cosa más hermosa que recibir una larga ovación de pie por un público emocionado y enamorado. RIP. Querida Edita has sido la mejor!!
Y en este concierto Edita hizo esta imponente interpretación al final; fue una “propina” final ! Impresionante
Una grande soprano que ha hecho una brillante carrera
Con 60 años era imbatible!
such mastery....what awonderful gift for the world...brava
Grande soprano!!!!
Великолепная певица!
I might be biased....but after hearing Kathleen Battle knock this out of the park...everyone else leaves much to be desired..
Well, Sutherland already stopped at age 54 and I've heared & seen recordings of her last performing years and they do not compare in ay way to Gruberova at this age!
"Edita Gruberova is the world's Number One coloratura soprano and, in the words of Peter Katona, Artistic Administrator of the Royal Opera, one of the few singers who really have full command of their voice," from the book, Diva.
Brava
I think we can't compare Sutherland and Gruberova!They sang the same operas, but they had a different voice!Gruberova is higher than Sutherland, and Joan is most dramatic than Edita!
But I prefer Gruberova!Her high notes and hr coloratura make me very happy!*
@Hako2004 and what a singing at this age...amazing! both middle and high notes! :)
Yes, a very great, a marvelous singer-
brava
Another great DIVA indeed.
Der singende Automat aus der Slowakei überzeugt mal wieder auf's Neue. Musikalisch ist sie nicht, aber die Töne sind umso klarer und deutlicher als bei den meisten ihrer Kolleginnen. Außerdem hat sie diese unglaubliche Kraft, die sie wirklich ausmacht. Dennoch immer wieder schön, sie zu sehen! :o)
Well, you are obviously confused. She continued until age 64. Her last recording years were in her SIXTIES, the voice was weakening and the top notes had an edge. Her last good Lucias were just before her 60th birthday.....Australia. Listen for yourself here on UA-cam....Tales of Hoffman Trio ..age 61. You will see you are mistaken.
Search: Les Contes d'Hoffman-trio. Sutherland at 61 could not sing like this if she hadn't cared well for her voice. No soprano could.
The truth hurts! Especially when it regards your favourite diva. As they say: ignorance is bliss! Take care!
One of only three opera singers whom I can't stand, she, William Matteuzzi, and Maria Callas.
Sei un emerito imbecille
@Bigman240 all these things consist her vocal absolute beauty
mammamia, una tacchina....
comunque molto meglio di milioni di giovani sopranozzi dei nostri giorni
Name me a better Linda!! Who??
Joan Sutherland, Mariella Devia
@thomastmwc
Well: his wife is standing next to him.
Who he is? The major of Amsterdam!!
I run hot and cold with Gruby, but this is fun. I think I like her best when she keeps it light. Why must we be so nasty?
Luba Orgonasova perhaps?
Who is the conductor?
Ralf Weikert
A great singer but only a shadow of great Gruby!
Elisabetta, do you even know what you're talking about? Sure, Sutherland was built like a truck and could sing for days on end, but Edita's coloratura/agility, acting, diction, personality onstage, etc. blow Joan Sutherland out of the water. I haven't yet found a single aria where I prefer Joan's voice to Edita's. And please, don't critique Edita's high register -- she obviously had better access than Sutherland did...
thats really perfectly irrelevant, im not an opera soprano, but that doesnt mean i dont know what im talking about.
@jgh37 you must be saying "terrific" instead of "terrible"
At the risk of being crucified, the last note seemed under pitch with the orchestra.
Word
I actually like dessay more because she just makes it look so easy, Gruberova tries too hard on some of this high notes in some of the movies of her sing, and I think her tone get's a little too nasal. Gruberova is definitely one of the best, but I think Dessay IS the best.
@Hupjeflupje :)
1:20
oh brother too bad Joan Sutherland canceled that night.
Then at least the orchestra didn't have to transpose.
I don|t hate her, I actually like her here. But the Joan Sutherland comparison is bogus, I'm sorry.
And please, dear, keep the name calling at a minimum.
...did Dame Joanie ever NOT detach her penultimate note from the final high note, reset, and squeak? Nope! And although Gruberova may not always be the greatest actress, Joan's vacuous facial expressions make her look like she's just been milked that morning.
sublime. altho i prefer Battle's interpretation, it doesn't take anything away from Gruberova's breathtaking display of her craft and singing prowess. WOW
A mi también me gusta más Battle ..precisamente la he escuchado hace poco en dvd de una grabación del 1991 de una gala en el Metropolitam opera
@jgh37 haha, you must be American :P
Non era in serata... 🙄
Because she gave great performances too. I.E. her Yerbinetta, Königin, Donna Anna etc. I just don't like her past 1985.
5.41 Flat! Painful listening to her and watching her awful facial exaggerations.
I feel the same way
I think you are dead right- don't know why some numb nuts brought up Sutherland in the first place. This is a clip of Grubbys so JS has nothing to do with it.
@jgh37 I know you're cute :)
6:11-14
from the way he applauds and stands, I can tell he's gay
just saying :P
Anyway, I love Gruby
and the way you write I think the same of yourself ... prejudices, besides who cares?
Gruberova does not compare to La Stupenda at all, be it when she was 20 or 60.
And why does age matter at all?
ahora resultara que Sumi Jo es la REINA de LA OPERA jjjjjj
Such bad taste:those portamenti,imprecise ornamentation, mannered emission, pitch variations (her final note is flat!)
I think Sutherland and Gruberova both have their roles theyre well suited to, and one must also keep in mind, they both had vocal declines later in their careers, something that is typical of more dramatic, larger voiced sopranos. This video is certainly past her prime, the high C trill she adds at about 5:10 is DISGUSTING, its really quite sloppy and distasteful. Theyre just very different, Joan's '70s Donizetti roles with pavorotti sound great, but she cant sing mozart, gruberova can.
Gruberova - Mannerisms, piano excesses, over-ornamentation, holes in the low register, weak middle, screeched forte (After 1985), mannered actress with about 2 expressions, scoops, moans, gasps and other unmusical ticks are realities as well.
Please let as hear, how you sing.....
Is she getting worse? She's so off pitch
Ridiculous.
