Meraviglia. Amneris che canta Cherubino. Senza paura di andare in petto nei bassi. Un vero mezzosoprano che rende al massimo l'idea della voce di un adolescente. Mozart si canta così.
drei Versionen habe ich gehört, Christine Schäfer, Schwarzkopf und jetzt Simonato. Die beiden Soprane wunderbar, jede in ihrer Art, aber hier bin ich regelrecht geschockt von der Schönheit der Stimme.
@FoggyRoad81 It's a matter of taste. But you can't deny this is gorgeous, expressive singing. And it's so, so good to hear an Italian singing this -- her vowels are perfect and everything lines up so perfectly because of it.
@GreekCaiias I was in the audience at that performance. It was fantastic, I still remember it after so many years, thank you for posting it. It was the first opera tour ever from Italy (to Japan); Simionato, Giuseppe Taddei (Figaro), and Vitorio Gui (conductor) were the biggest names in that La Scala tour company. It came without a prima donna. Actually, there was one, Antonietta Stella. She was so young and just made it big. She did not get along with the rest of the members. She left after she sang Aida on the opening night. Back to the Figaro performance, I forgot who played Susanna, would you be so kind to look it up and post it? That would do me a very great favor. Numerous listeners have commented here about the suitability of Simionato’s voice for Chenubino’s aria. Simionato’s voice was on the heavy side and no doubt it may not sound present for this playful aria. But consider that they were on tour and she just fill in the bill. I guess that she probably had not sung this in an opera on stage before this occasion. To me, I just like to listen to her whatever she sang, anything. About the aria, I was told that on Mozart’s date there were no mezzos, female singers were all sopranos. Thus, the original key for arias that are sung by mezzos today was for sopranos. Von Stade has a nice voice. Maria Ewing started as a mezzo, then moved up to soprano, just like many other mezzos, Grace Bumbry, and Shirley Verrett to name a few. Whatever she was, I don’t think this aria would serve her well.
@FoggyRoad81 you gotta be kidding me. too rich? it's not like mozart died and the world decided to have rich voices. first of all her vibrato is perfectly in pitch.... sounds youthful, elegant and absolutely definitive!!! she out sings and subltes as it is... even out acts ewing and von stade and bartoli and then some all in a bucket. rubato? dude... learn music before you comment on music or musicians.
Era molto brava ,a casa ho una sua foto autografata ,la diede a mio nonno che era ispettore del teatro la fenice di Venezia.Brava anche gianna pederzini le applaudivano appena aperto il sipario ancor prima che iniziassero a cantare.Ho anche autografi di renata scotto da poco mancata,di gianni poggi,di beniamino gigli, Anita cerquetti .
@marcellny you are right she sings perfectly in pitch, to my opinion,-just to my hearing- her voice somehow sounds a little rich for Mozart, more density and less transparency, almost austere .

Well, the “mezzo-soprano” classification didn’t exist in Mozart’s day. They only distinguished between Sopran and Alt. Even Wagner referred to Erda as a “tiefer Sopran” role. Doesn’t mean mezzos didn’t exist then, just that they were known by a different name. And the same goes for baritones.
ah, this is the same Giulia who bitch slapped Callas once and Callas almost poisoned her with her mother's insecticide. true stories. they remained friends, though. go figure.
I absolutely adore her and I absolutely hate this. The voice is too rich, so much rubato, so much vibrato. Where is the youthful yearning? Where is the hushed whisper of anticipation. Give me Ewing or Von Stade in this music.
Cherubino is a mezzo role. Not a soprano role. Von Stade and Ewing are sopranos. And 'so much vibrato'? What? Why is Siminato's vibrato bad? This is how Mozart should be sung.
It has been ten years, but Mozart didn't write hushed whispers of anticipation. He wrote this. The musical inflections are written into the melody, if a singer can hear them. Simionato could hear them, and she sang them.
Legendary voice, but far too strident for this role. Cherubino has to sound impetuous, excitable, even naive and yearning at times. Brashness mixed with tenderness. It's not well measured at all in terms of colour or articulation of text.
She gives a very nice masculine innuendo to her voice which in other roles could sound intensely feminine. It is very well measured in color and articulation of text. She doesn't sound like she went to a modern conservatory, if that is what is meant by that critique.

oggi la lincerebbero :(
ps è "sprecata" per queste paginette che affidano a soprani corti e svociati. cmq finalmente un Cherubino di Spessore(e canta pure leggero qui!)
@@rossanacalistri8634 verissimo, oggi la guarderebbero (non il pubblico, ma i direttori "intenditori") malissimo e la licenzierebbero
@@Tkimba2, e chiamano subito l'Antonacci (alla quale e' sfuggito ancora il ruolo...)
@@rossanacalistri8634faccio presente che a Tokyo cantava Carmen, Cavalleria Rusticana e Aida. Le sere vuote le riempiva con Cherubino.
one of the greatest mezzos of all time. Brava Giulietta!
Beautiful singing ! Brava GIULIETTA SIMIONATO :)

Wunderbar, in jeder Rolle. Noch dazu war sie so ein liebenswerter und bescheidener Mensch!!!

Brava Maestra Simionato, thank you for your perfect singing and for your seassons in Mexico City !!
Edosalp Y valla qué fueron espléndidas funciones, Rosina, Mignon, Carmen, Amneris, Azucena, Charlott y su tierna Adalgisa.
splendida Giulietta.
Inattendu mais très surprenant elle gère parfaitement son immense voix que j'ai eu le plaisir d'entendre en direct dans un toute autre rôle Asucena
splendida! un cherubino perfetto!!
Now that is a performance
que voz tan extraordinaria, bellísima.

@@giannigodoli6995 Thank you so much!! You are the best!!!
Maravillosa Giulietta Simionato, en otra "CLASE DE CANTO" a los que nos tuvo acostumbrados. ¡Excelente!
BRAVA very good tempo, bravissima
Qué tierna era la señora Simionato... Bravissima.
wonderful...
Ah, but this is a taste from an era now gone.
True, but we do not lack good voices today. Did I say good voices? Great voices I mean.
après 10 ans toujours là. merci beaucoup
Bravissima!
Divina Giulietta! 💕💖💗
bravissima la Simionato
Tomba 2, il piu' grande Cherubino. Che compostezza, che tecnica, che charme, non muove un muscolo. L'esatto contrario della Bartoli. Ciao.
Волшебно!!!!
Muito bonito.
Brava!

настоящее бельканто
Il piu' grande Cherubino. Non ci sono Berganza che tengano.
Odin Tenor vse ostalniye na Soprano sidyat. A MezzoSoprano eto kogda ne Soprano. Budut vse Mezzosoprano, Tenorami stanem. Takiye Ugrozi, V SHOKE!
She is not Cherubino, but despite that, she is brilliant.
No. Cherubino is a mezzo. And Simionato is a mezzo. Simionato is the last great Cherubino.
The voice is excellent, but too heavy for this kind of music
@@bauchmann9971Based on what? Her voices matches the music well.
splendida esecuzione della grande Giulietta.forse ....un po' accelerato il tempo.
Esiste il video completo?

Playful! Playful! I love that. It's a blasphemy to sing a boring Mozart, isn't it.

Cherubino is NOT a mezzo role its a soprano role-ask Mozart if you dont believe😊

I know this-but she sounds like light soprano- not "tief" at all !!!!
beautiful vibrato, but a bit too much for this aria.
Cherubino is a mezzo role. Simionato is a mezzo. And her vibrato is perfect,
ah, this is the same Giulia who bitch slapped Callas once and Callas almost poisoned her with her mother's insecticide. true stories. they remained friends, though. go figure.
I absolutely adore her and I absolutely hate this. The voice is too rich, so much rubato, so much vibrato. Where is the youthful yearning? Where is the hushed whisper of anticipation. Give me Ewing or Von Stade in this music.
Cherubino is a mezzo role. Not a soprano role. Von Stade and Ewing are sopranos. And 'so much vibrato'? What? Why is Siminato's vibrato bad? This is how Mozart should be sung.
You need ALWAYS voice, even Mozart requires voice. Even Mozart requires chest voice. It's always important.
Too rich voice? It a silly idea that Mozart requires little voices
It has been ten years, but Mozart didn't write hushed whispers of anticipation. He wrote this. The musical inflections are written into the melody, if a singer can hear them. Simionato could hear them, and she sang them.
Legendary voice, but far too strident for this role. Cherubino has to sound impetuous, excitable, even naive and yearning at times. Brashness mixed with tenderness.
It's not well measured at all in terms of colour or articulation of text.

Strident?! 🤣
wonderful voice and vocal technique....but NO interpretation at all, and no phrasing either for the role nor Mozart !
Really?
She is using the music. If one cannot hear it, they have some more musical understanding to develop.
