Gruberova is one of my favorite lyric coloraturas. Her pianissimos are to die for! I still say they could have found a more flattering wig for her in the movie.
She sings "e" because in the score, it's written "a te" before that passage. Most sopranos just sing it on ah, cause we hate the "e" vowel--especially in our middle voice area. But, Gruberova usually sings what's written in the score text wise, even if other sopranos don't. God! I love her voice. She's so amazing.
Yes, you're right. I was getting at how Gruberova manages to play the character with a perfect fragility. Comepletely overjoyed but innocent of what's coming.
I love Edita. Every thing she does vocally sounds so natural, save for the weird "e" vowel on the staccati that paminaase mentioned. She is truly an artist!
at the high stacattos I didn't like the wowels to be pronounced as "e". but the pianos are astonishing ! I love you gruberova, your voice is as sweet as candy !
Gruberova's voice is simply perfect in this video. I think this is the most beautiful recording of the opera as a whole. Unfortunately, it's a video with low sound quality. (the studio recording with Bruson/Sinopoli is much inferior)
What! You really do not know Jean-Pierre Ponelle?He was a genius!!!! His Monteverdi trilogy with Harnoncourt,for instance.. Oh! Unsurpassable!...even bettter than Zefirelli.
Such a silvery voice, amazing technique. Her pianissimo is fantastic. She is awesome
Her baby face and diamond voice made her (one of) the best Gilda!
she is incredible, her voice is like raindrops
the best Gilda forever
What a beautiful rendition and what a beautiful stage design! Ms. Gruberova was one of the best! May she rest in peace!
Edita Gruberova bringt den Himmel auf die Erde!!! Sie tröstet die Verzweifelten und ernährt die Armen.
Unrivaled. Ttruly the voice of a naive young girl completely smitten.
I felt like she was Gilda. She wasn't pretending! Stellar performance and I'm glad it included the recit.
Incredible beauty!!!!! BRAVO!!!!!
WOW!!!! Simply WOW!!! Brava!

best Gilda ever
MERAVIGLIOSO!!!!
edita is the best one, with no dout!
she and pavarotti together are fantastic!
Best Gilda ever
Qué bonita interpretación... le queda perfecto.
Dios ke voz la de esta mujer!!!! tremenda.....
Hermosa! Edita además de su gran dominio vocal, representa con mucha sensibilidad este papel... Que matices tan bellos
She captures the pure broken-heartedness of Gilda so perfectly!
Simply Stunning!!!! Praise God!
Quelle pureté de voix. Une vraie splendeur !
She was perfect! Such an amazing voice! :D

edita is the best and this is the perfect caro nome.
vi esta ópera por la TV...ahí conocí a Edita
absolutely classy...the best coloratural soprano of all times!
Very fluid voice, and she really more than manages to capture the essence of Gilda's innocence and naivete.
she is a bad ass soprano!!! so beautiul i'm singing this for solo/ensemble i just luv it! =)
Maravillosa voz!!.... Una perla preciosa...
absolutely the best ''gilda'' ever come. i couldn't find any mistakes at the notes could you? :)
Meine Beste!
She has an amazing voice
Yes, you're right. I was getting at how Gruberova manages to play the character with a perfect fragility. Comepletely overjoyed but innocent of what's coming.
Gruberova is my favourite Gilda. Hear her in the quartette!
Edita is divine in this aria (actually in everything she sings). This Caro nome is unmatched!!!
I have to agree in the wigg comments; terrible!
There is a superb early live recording posted of Virginia Zeani full of character and beautiful tone. Unmissable.
I love Edita. Every thing she does vocally sounds so natural, save for the weird "e" vowel on the staccati that paminaase mentioned. She is truly an artist!
She IS Gilda to me.
RIP
R.I.P.
BELISSIMA!
Hey! what year was recorded this video? Perfect! Love her! ... WOW
Belíssissima :D
Is it possible, if I may be so bold to ask, to post some videos? :)
4:36 - 44 = literal, genuine VOCALISATION
at the high stacattos I didn't like the wowels to be pronounced as "e". but the pianos are astonishing !
I love you gruberova, your voice is as sweet as candy !
what year is this performance?
please turn your attention also to the video clip of Petya Ivanova and her "Caro nome"!
Gruberova's voice is simply perfect in this video.
I think this is the most beautiful recording of the opera as a whole. Unfortunately, it's a video with low sound quality. (the studio recording with Bruson/Sinopoli is much inferior)
How many high coloraturas do you know that can match her????
aw my names edita; my best friends name is gilda ! how kute :}
She IS Gilda
Listen to ADA SARI
After her performance I can not listen to others
What! You really do not know Jean-Pierre Ponelle?He was a genius!!!!
His Monteverdi trilogy with Harnoncourt,for instance..
Oh! Unsurpassable!...even bettter than Zefirelli.
4:40
I peed
I wonder if she teaches canto
Edita is very nice, but, the real and only Gilda to me was Anna Moffo. Edita is a human singer. Anna was an Angel personification of Gilda.
For a new superb interpretation try Eglise Gutierrez posted by jung123456.
beautiful, w/ her lyrical voice. R u sure one is 'the best'?? Nope, I think Sutherland is 'as good as' her.
Pardon me!..PoNNelle....;)
but..... she seems a muppet!!!!!!!
