Cristina Deutekom - Verdi - Macbeth - Vieni t'affretta

Hartford Symphony Orchestra, cond. William Anthony Waters. Hartford April 4th 1981.
Role debut of dutch soprano Cristina Deutekom as Lady Macbeth. She loved this role but unfortunately did not perform it too often.

Un fenómeno vocal en TODO sentido dicho. Totalmente infravalorado. Aquí espectacular como pocas, poquísimas de comienzo a fin de esta escena.
Grande Deutekom.
Para mi una de las voces más impresionantes de la historia de la lírica. Y si, definitivamente, la mejor Reina de la noche de Mozart. ¿Y luego? Los estudios de grabación...... prácticamente la dejaron de lado.
Una voz fiel a si misma, sin cliches, con personalidad, profesionalismo y técnica espectacular.

She would have been nearly 60 here - sounding fabulous! Interesting to note that this would be around the same time as those concerts she sang Turandot's aria fabulously as well.

Un feu-croisé merveilleux et terrifiant. Une voix colossale et somptueuse. Une artiste unique et galactique. Respect !

Such peculiar and lovely soprano voice.
Fairly bright in colour but penetrating without being shrill.

One of my favourite coloratura sopranos, ever.

XxSaruman82xX chest voice participation in her high notes, hence they are full and bright...they don’t make them like that nowadays at all.

[@xxsaruman82xx87]

@@AP-dd3xp Too true, my friend, too true. Have you heard Saioa Hernandez btw? Her voice is very similar to Deutekom's actually. Both are true spinto sopranos.

[@stefanocautavera]

Gorgeous, effortless sound from top to bottom, but she irons out all the trills, and the scales are not smooth (even though her trademark "turkey" effect is kept to a minimum here).

[@Antonio-qm3bi]

In fact she was here lazy or idk, but she had really good trills bro

Impeccable coloraturas, silly people........................................................................

@@evelynkatz1301 Ellipses only require three dots. Your punctuation is about as messy as Deutekom's execution of the scales.
