- Here she is singing from Riccardo Broschi "Son Qual Nave". The things she can do with her voice are out of this world almost imposible for the human voice but not imposible for Bartoli.

For those who object to her facial expressions, they forget that she is not singing for a camera but for venues that seat between 3,000 and 5,000 people. None of those people would see these expressions as distracting. If you have ever sat in the upper balcony of an opera house you know that delicate facial expressions have absolutely no impact whatsoever. Her mastery of the form here is beyond belief. Even Horne at her best never achieved this level of perfection in the Baroque repertoire.
@Wilson Watt I'm pretty sure her fans and anyone who has any sense won't care if she sings standing on her head if she can sing like that.
I love her facial expressions.
To sing with such control requires vocal athleticism on a par with a Tiger Woods or Mohammed Ali and to think that she has performed at this level far longer than either of them managed. Unusual facial expressions are just part and parcel of her achieving such perfection. Who cares?

They need to get over it. Greatness does not equal conformity. :)
It’s mind-blowing that someone actually wrote this and even more unbelievable that someone crushed it. What a prodigious woman.
If there were a voice competition at the Olympics, she would have a chest full of gold medals. Her voice is absolutely gymnastic.
I can do crazier things with my voice, including holding notes that long (in straight tone and higher octaves). I have more range as well, including subaudible low notes - Check insta @adosburg
@@thunder6279 I believe you... altho' her singing has become quite crazy.
@jim doe I would guess you never worked hard for a single thing in your life - because that's the only kind of person who says something like that. In the popular vernacular: #hater
@jim doe I do silly. Check my instagram. @adosburg I'm not famous...yet! But I can sing all over at least 8 octaves any day of the week and there is public proof available on the web.. So there.
jim doe not the best people get all the chances in this industry
I was lucky enough to attend this concert. The recording conveys her amazing coloratura but not the staggering dynamic range of the opening phrase of the aria in a large concert hall and all on a single breath. The second time she laughed was when a member of the audience shouted "encore". One of the many nice things about her is that enjoys her performance as much as the audience. Truly she is La Phenomena!
GRATULÁLOK, HOGY OTT LEHETETT EZEN AZ ELÖADÁSON, IRIGYLEM !!!!
Bravissima
Lucky you
She is FENOMENALE or un FENOMENO! La fenomena is incorrect!
Amazing!
She is so good it's literally comical. You can tell she's even amused by her own ability.
I heard Callas turned green in her grave
Pretty much. That’s it.
She is a lovely person even though she is astonishingly brilliant and intelligent. What a memory.
What I think is incredible is that composers thought this possible for a human voice to attain in the first place.
It was written for Farinelli. But you may already know that :)
@InternationalTimbaConspiracy I did not.
Thanks for the comment and the opportunity to watch the heights art can reach with dedicated talent.
It is memerising.
Bel Canto was waaay better back then, much of the real and true technique has been lost.
@carliiuxiiz for mere mortals accustomed to commercial fare, she is incredible.
@@carliiuxiizAnd you know this how?
How on earth does she sing so perfectly with just one breath??
Efficiency.
Diaphragm
its a really big breath!
Years of Training and Practice. Lots and LOTS of Practice. Hours of it weekly for multiple years. Uncountable numbers of hours spent in a small practice room doing nothing but sustained scales and runs. Learning to use the diaphragm for massive amounts of support rather than singing from the upper chest like untrained vocalists tend to do. Learning projection techniques, sustained breathing techniques that rival (and sometimes surpass) those of Olympic swimmers. Decades, starting at a very early age, spent training and perfecting technique and range and expressiveness.
I trained as an Operatic Coloratura myself, back during my teens and 20s. I know exactly what sort of fresh hell she went through to develop that level of skill, and its impressive. It helps that she's naturally talented and has a massive 3 1/2 to 4 octave range.
lung capacity + diaphragm. you have to train to use them together efficiently.
I think perhaps she is both the greatest coloratura and the greatest mezzo-soprano.
This Mezzo-soprano is absolutely mind blowing!
Cecilia Bartoli is perfect!
What a masterpiece to behold!
Thank you for sharing!
One thing I love about Cecilia is her appreciation for the baroque music --and her dedication to advocacy and education for the controversial Castrato arts. She is the reason why we know Faranelli and others.
Not only THE mezzo and coloratura soprano of all times,but also a very charismatic,simple,warm-hearted,gentle,nice and intelligent person.No diva attitudes at all.
Bravissimo!
bravissima. she is a girl :)

@@lylianemanquest2323 très beau et absolument vrai ce que Vous écrivez!
I agree Sylvia ....she is " une belle personne " as we say in french !!!! And la DIVA du 21ème s.
The start with one breath for a 25 seconds line and four messa di voce effects on the note is really something that i never heard before. Stunning.
Personality, commanding presence, sense of humour and vocal calisthenics of an order near impossible and you have the great, the incomparable Cecilia Bartoli.

The greatest artist and musician of the past 25 years. God bless her mom too for her brilliant training ❤️🥰❤️
And all wearing a corset!!!!
The corset helps with support.
@@frankG335 how does a corset help with support?
@@flowsingingschool
The corset *helps* with support
😎😎😎
When you sing you squeeze your abs to create breath pressure/support. Some opera singers prefer wearing corsets because it helps them create that breath pressure
@@laurenbrock5056 I’ve seen scientific research videos that proved the opposite was required. Space is needed by the upper body for the breath to linger longer, and a corset would be too restrictive. However, she’s probably wearing a fairly loose and elastic one,
She is an absolute delight. Always laughing and a voice straight out of heaven and oh that breath control and absolute perfect technique. She is and will always be the best.
Fea😂😂
I have watched the first 45 seconds of this dozens of times on repeat, and each time I do I feel like I am witnessing an other-dimensional level of talent. She is the definition of a vocal musical treasure.
My voice teacher studied with Maurice Allard, and he would have his students try to hold a note for a minute, going crescendo and piano, and the student who won was treated to a fine dinner. For teenagers, this was a big treat. He used all kinds of motivation and encouragement with his young students, making it fun. I have a feeling that this woman, if she decides to teach, would also be a lot of fun.
Unbelievable. I did the same!

Madam cecilia is a empress in opera unmatched to this day... Talents like this lady we see every 150 yrs approx... What a lady
Giving us a catalogue of opera technic and tones, and with a smile. Thank you Lady Bartoli!

I can't take my eyes off Bartoli, her face is sooooo expressive and her voice is OFF The CHARTS!
Magic
She is beyond words!
Бесподобно! Браво!!! Дива.
Santa Cecila Bartoli , chi se non lei?.....Brava!....Archibrava!!
I attended a concert she gave in Rome that was simply astounding. Certainly the best performance of anything that I have ever attended. She did SIX encores.
So professional, but I see an amazing woman having fun 👏
Quelle dextérité vocale! C'est extraordinaire!
I have absolutely no clue whatsoever what she was singing but her voice was amazing :) I smiled the whole time - lady you ROCK :)
One of the best things about her performances are her facial expressions. They are *chefs kiss* on point.
As someone who has sung for 50 years in musical theater, opera, symphonic choruses, etc, what Cecilia Bartoli does in this video is super human. It truly is miraculous. On some level I understand the technical level of what she is doing but the fact that she pulls it off so effortlessly is proof that there's a God.
I'm consistently blown away by her prowess
Wow she’s phenomenal
The vocal line at 16 seconds!!!!!!! 😮😮😮😮😮😮😮 Amazing control! I was so floored, I had to play it again and then show somebody else
She uses the facial mask without worrying about it looks. That's how you get the greatest sound.
rascalndear I’m sorry, but that is acoustically, anatomically and physiologically incorrect.
vdarte thank you!
@@celibidache1000 No it is correct. My teacher even told me that. Once of course you are using the correct technique of the inner mask or some people call it an italian smile ..but its the inner muscles to control the muscles in the larnx and through its like a neurological thing . My teacher would let me do the exercises for it ..but she said for arias i had to learn the mask without showing it not because of sound but because you would never get hired making faces like that. Its a trade off. It its done RIGHT its EXACTLY how you get the best sound. Obv though just making weird faces like that alone doesn't help. But its a pity most singers are taught these are just bad habits. Its absolutely correct and THIS IS GREAT SOUND!
@vdarte THIS IS FANTASTIC SOUND WHAT ARE U NUTS ?? SHE IS QUEEN!
@@silverkitty2503 Please give me your definition of the mask. What are those inner muscles you are talking about, and what is this neurology thing you mentioned?
If you think that Bartoli sounds great, that is your taste, and I can say nothing about it, but, from a acoustical and anatomical point of view, her technique is terribly flawed.
Única!!! Maravillosa!!! Agilidad!!! Portentoso fiato!!!
The greatest hysterical coloratura mezzo soprano of all times...
Amó esta mujer
She's better than many sopranos.
PsycheodeliaDelle being a mezzo shouldn’t be regarded as being worse than a soprano. It’s just the warmth of tone not skill
Mezzo is a soprano voice as well.
@@amandasmusic628 given the many roles written for sopranos she has sung, they're absolutely right in asserting she's better than many other soprano.
Lewis Julien that’s exactly what I’m saying. I’m literally making a case for the mezzo sopranod
Amanda Paul I don't think you get what the OP meant...
Je l’ai rencontrée à trois reprises à Paris. Elle est abordable et d’une simplicité déconcertante ❤️❤️❤️
Bregina privighetoare !!!
OMG - I can hardly believe my ears! That was the most amazing thing I’ve ever heard. I didn’t know mezzos could be coloraturas. She has so much flexibility and control of her voice at the same time. Astonishing.
Обожаю! Мне кажется, что Чечилия -- не только великий Мастер, но ещё и очень хороший человек.
What the heaven was that incredible sound she did at the beginning? ❤❤❤❤❤
I think Is God in a skin :^]

Neverovatna. Ovo je van poimanja! 👏👏👏
That's one reason I fell in love with her, the facial expressions. She makes the music come alive with them.
She is lovely and her voice is marvelous!
Oh, my gosh! Cripe! A Voice from beyond our galaxy! There's a point when the insane, though it's insane, is just plain perfect!

На сколько же всё точно. Удивительно, но эта "живая" запись даже лучше, чем студийная в плане исполнения! 💕
Awesome acrobatic voice👏👏
Those lungs are better than most Olympic athletes! Rivaling those race horses, incredible!
She is a Coloratura Mezzo Soprano. Very impressed with her fluidity on the notes, and I like her bold style. Does not take herself too seriously! Very nice quality in her personality. Big, bold, and fun! And boy can she sing!!!
She's so proud of herself (as she should) it just makes me smile
Редкий дар голосового продолжительного исполнения, что очень удивило меня!😂😂❤

That was THE BEST vocalist I’ve ever heard!!! Just magnificent, I smiled through all of it, that is dedication, hard work, you have no idea if you aren’t a professional singer. Bravo ❤❤
I never heard any other soprano / mezzo / opera singer in general using the voice as she does! Oh my she is absolutely amazing! 😱😱😱👏👏👏
Klausvans she is very unique , a lot of so called critics attack her a lot , but none of them can sing a damn single word .. she is fantastic period . And if what she does is just tricks why is it that we don't have one single mezzo as capable as her
Wow, I worked for a major opera company in the early 80's. She is AWESOME!
Amazing. I worked for a dodgy builder last week. She IS awesome.
Madre de Dios, que poder vocal¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡

And she looks like she's having SO MUCH FUN
Cecilia is completely and utterly out of this world, well at least that's the kind of feeling you get upon listening to this masterpiece of a creation. No words can simply describe it literally, just pure pleasure and satisfaction. ❤️🙏👏😍
Everyone has their favorite (especially soprano vs mezzo, etc), however the emotion she evokes in me when she sings puts her on the highest level for me. The lightness and purity in her higher notes are like a bird on a tree singing naturally. I love her.
Same
Como alguém dá deslike em um espetáculo como este?! Simplesmente magnífica!
Siempre existen idiotas que tienen cancer en el gusto
amazing!! and you know she is having fun! her voice is incredible and her enthusiasm and zest is contagious!!!!
I adore this performance. Incredible, effortless, just wow!
“Her facial expressions are distracting...” oh man..I don’t know what to tell you, but you’re gonna freak out. *people tend move their faces to fit a certain feeling or emotion or just to fit the situation..😬 sorry we all can’t look glamorous when singing extremely difficult and intricate rhythms..*
So true...too bad most people don't realize the people they're
watching sing in contemporary videos aren't actually singing.
Foxie Kool I had a teacher that told me that a singer is not to "look" beautiful over stage since we are not models, we are singers and need to incur on different expressions for different purposes as you explained. This lady is the graphic explanation of that. She is amazing.
We’re basically walking wind instruments cut is some slack! 😂
She sounds like a bird
Foxie Kool , The muscles face are voice instruments. Every parts of them work to coloratura! Its not only about performance, its about technic to make the notes happen. Its about to reach in a head the sounds and make them come true.
Such wailings and gnashing of teeth below about what is obviously a post concert encore which by tradition is always a light and fun moment. Not to be taken seriously and certainly not deserving of some of the clueless comments posted here. It's to Cecilia Bartoli's credit and technique that she still had the energy to sing such a demanding piece. I enjoyed it enormously, Thank you.
To those complaining about Cecilia Bartoli is not the best Mezzo Soprano for you. Just air, and noises.
I just read on Wikipedia that Paula Abdul as of 06/07/2024 listed herself as having the range of Mezzo-Soprano since 1987, having trained with a couple of voice coaches paid from her savings account. So talented is Paula she obtained this recognition and status in a mere 1 year of training.
Now to Cecilia, truly Such a beautiful gift to her audience and all the rest of us who will only ever be able to appreciate her via internet platforms.
Thank you, thank you for making my day more beautiful. I will hear you singing all day in my memory and that is truly a day to enjoy.
Manificissima! No comments... Merci
She is out of this world voice amazing from the philippines👏👏👏

On my wishlist to hear Cecilia Bartoli. I had a dream I was at one of her concerts. Oh my goodness if that were dream to come true.
She looks like "Oh my God I did that on stage..." :-)
Such AMAZING and BEAUTIFUL Voice Quality and PHENOMENAL TALENT! 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹 BRAVISSIMA!!!
No hay mejor soprano que mi Cecilia ❤😊
That really is a cheeky little opening note.... She's brilliant 🌷💖
I love watching opera singers faces because the way the move to get the sound out just right is fascinating 😊
It’s like you can see that she’s counting beats etc in her head and has every second down
I can't imagine anyone finding fault with anything this beautiful creature called Cecilia Bartoli does with her amazing talent. There is nothing so wonderful as seeing an amazing artist like her, totally in control of her instrument, enjoying herself so much. She's amazed, we're amazed... what a wonderful gift she's received that she shares with us.
