❤ Maravillosa❤

Magnifique époustouflant bravo

Stunning. Outstanding performance.

I think that we all need to gradually come to accept that Mozart probably did not have Edda Moser in mind when he composed this. Agility, precision and range were clearly what he favoured in his high-pitched, agile sopranos, and the qualities he exploited in most of his prima donnas from Mitridate and Lucio Silla to Die Zauberflöte. When he wanted a big, dramatic voice, he wrote for it: e.g. Electra in Idomeneo and Vitellia in La Clemenza di Tito. Indeed, the ‘prettiness’ of the melodies given to the Queen may have been an intentional effect, highlighting her seductive deceit and cold intentions. A light voice works perfectly well for the Queen, and often much better than a singer with a deeper voice made to strain and screech. See what happened to Damrau’s voice - impactful performance, bad technique, short-lived voice. Not to mention that current perceptions about the “Dramatic” and what it looks/sounds like cannot be assumed to not have been influenced by tendencies developed in the 19th and 20th centuries. This is not to say that Moser and Damrau are not fine too, but that standards should perhaps be better placed on technical ability rather than just the colour of a singer’s voice.

She's the real thing. A gorgeous voice, real musical sensibility, intelligence. Brava!

la perfeccion

Me gusta mucho la interpretación.

You seduce people with such a voice

Meeeegaaa ❤❤❤

Best I ever heard

Bombastisch❤😘

Bravo Pauline !!!

Just amazing; poised and accurate in Mozart's most sadistic aria for a soprano.

Super talented, yet as equally annoying!

The best interpretation I've ever heard.

Where was this performed? The acoustics are fantastic. The period instrument orchestra superb. And the coloratura ... I listen in delight mixed with awe at such beauty.

Brava!!!!

Majestic voice...

モーツァルト本人の聴いていた音もこんな感じだったのだろう。

So clear and pure like a crystal.

Ausgezeichnet. Loved it.

amazing resonance ! my god !

wowwwww

Love

I like Rush, Yes, Kansas, Iron Maiden, Dio, Blackmore's Rainbow, and... Pauline.

Beautiful!!

This is one of the most accurate and clear versions I've heard of this aria, she's exceptionally good. Sometimes precision can be as intense as sheer volume. She lives it too, which helps. Brava!

To all those who have criticised this singer - could you do it any better?

I’m not German but doesn’t she mispronounce some words?

Wonderful. Thank you.

Чего-то не хватает

Я мало понимаю в академическом пении и не являюсь большой любительницей оперы. Но я получила удовольствие от красоты и эмоциональности исполнения. Так звучит музыка. Вы и есть музыка!

Nothing good about turning a house of God into a theater

This is absolutely sublime

Mozart ready loved that singer for whom he composed that aria. You are making this love living forever.

Tiene una voz muy suave y bellísima.

Tecnicamente è perfetta forse esagerato ma quasi , unico mio limite non certo quello della cantante qui in performance ,ha una voce troppo pungente in ma ripeto è SOLO UN PROBLEMA MIO .BRAVA !!!!!!

Perfeicao

Bravo

Молодец, хорошо исполнила

I know this opera was not written for ordinary people like me, but hey, times have changed :) I have an opinion after tasting this performance over and over. I also listened and compared with all other performances of this part in You tube and found Pauline's is the very best and captured me in the scene, even tough she performed this part only. I felt like the Queen portrayed as a jealous and narcissistic character in the opera which seems not quite match of Pauline's jests and look, that is the only part I felt bit off but when I closed my eyes I was in the scene, feeling the wrath of the queen as she was mother. Thank you Ma'am.

OMG, some of you here are insufferable. Her voice is incredibly clear, the agility is here, certainly could use slightly more work but this aria is very difficult and any singer struggles to sing it. Also who the hell cares it's for "dramatic" soprano? So what? It is forbidden for any light soprano to perform it? We are gatekeeping arias now? Stop it. That performance was beautiful.

Wunderbar.
