Ati auzit dragi romani cum canta femeia aceasta? Divin! Nu o mai denigrati caci avem din ce in ce mai putine valori de maretia si frumusetea acestei soprane! ❤
A great melody. written by an Italian author played by a Romanian artist and sung in Whashington. Beauty has no nation. It belongs to everyone. It does not want boundaries.
Puccini dedicated Tosca to another MAGNIFICENT Romanian soprano, Hariclea Darclee , the first to sing it in 1900. "Vissi d’arte, vissi d’amore " was added to initial Tosca, after Darclee asked Puccini to compose another aria, and this was composed especially for her.
beautifully said, this is humanity's music and beauty. I wish we could all see the earth from space like astronauts have, then we would realize how precious and beautiful the earth is and that we should all look after it together. It would give us a dose of much needed humble pie and inspire awe.
Anghela demonstrate finest art with her soprano voice; never heard this as clear and with such long and stabile high notes ,always sensitive, she was completely filling all hearts, the best an artist can achieve. BRAVO Angela !
I listened to Callas right before I listened to this, so I was prepared to be let down. But I was not. This is an outstandingly beautiful performance. Bravo!
@@MusicLover-kd6jt I am frustrated, because I am Romanian and I wanted so bad to be proud of her, but I have no strong reasons. Virginia Zeani on the other hand, now that is a different story.
Daniela d Daniela d Wow..for this reason I’m now even more amazed of your ignorance. I could not imagine a Romanian not being proud of this lady!! I’m actually astonished..If you are not proud of this unique artist that has one of the most beautiful and recognizable voices in Opera of this century thus far and that is probably one of the very very few sopranos of her generation to be remembered for ever as one of the best Violetta, Tosca, Magda, Adriana or Mimi in history(!), then I guess you are just a lost cause. I have listened to her many times at The Met, La Scala, London, Paris, Berlin and elsewhere and never had any problem hearing her in the opera houses, so my opinion is based on actual experiences, whereas your comment about amplifiers was just rude and uncalled for. Moreover, there is much more besides volume when it comes to a voice, but unfortunately people nowadays think that in Opera the louder the voice, the better..which si wrong on so many levels. If you are frustrated of someone’s success, it speaks “volumes” about you :) and no one else. To each his own. I am aware that art is subjective but I thought that one should have an opinion based on own experiences and supported by facts, rather than just writing dotish comments without any reason and without any argument.
I cannot add one more word to what you just said. She transmits EMOTIONS, not just MUSICAL TECHNIQUE.. This is what Maria Callas sent when she sang this famous aria, and this is what great Angela Gheorghiu did and does when she sings this aria!!! She IS TOSCA. May God bless you, Angela Gheorghiu. ❤ ❤❤❤🌷🌷🌷😘
This was my Grandads funeral song, I hadnt heard it before then, but its so beautiful.............Just like my Grandad RIP Harold Pennington..........Miss you x x x x
She has a great talent , she is a tremendous artist. I apreciate her very much, to me she is the best soprano of the time. Din păcate nu am reușit până acum să o văd în realitate, caci vine foarte rar la noi în Germania . ❤
ever hear of renee fleming?, not trying to compare, they are truely great artists, but listen to her rendition, of tosca. all the best, Louie Vaccaro, tenor, las vegas.
Your comment becomes trivial when you don't include "I think...". Whilst I am not criticising your preference, you cannot justifiably make your claim because you cannot possibly have heard every other singer. There are numerous singers from early in the 20th century who in my opinion outshine most of today's singers. I am not a Callas fanatic but I have to say her singing of "Vissi d'arte" along with Leontyne Pryce are unsurpassed to my ear.
I do not have the eloquence (or the interest) in comparing this great singer to other great singers. I think she does a magnificent job her. It started slowly but every time I hear her, I like her more and more. I think she is a gifted soprano who should not be demeaned. Clearly, Grace Bumbry was moved. Thank you for posting this.
I have to admit I think that Angela is the real thing: a Star. She has passion, is very intelligent, and really musical. Her voice is rich and lovely, her delivery sincere and forthright and her presence charismatic. I think I like her a lot.
I'm not an opera expert...all I know is this beautiful woman's performance gave me chills!! The audience apparently felt the same. Even Bumbry's reaction expressed approval (at one point she winced anticipating maybe Angela not hitting a high note..but she nailed it!). Some in this thread criticize her technique, but if music is supposed to evoke emotion, Angela surely succeeded with me!
I agree with @Delores Jackson and I’m a romanian woman...maybe Angela is not the best but she touch my soul ... and not only mine... I don’t understand one of my people that have bad words about her, they must respect her...
What a way to honour Grace Bumbry! Grace visited our school in Khayelitsha Township Cape Town way back in 1994,she was with Simon Estes.What they left here can be seen in Pumeza Matshikiza and more.3 years later Simon Estes High School was established,that High School produced what is now called Simone Estes Alumni Choir and Heavenly Voices. South Africa now produces opera singers like never before.Thanks to Mama Grace and Tata Simon for planting such a seed in our community.I wish one day they can come back here,we want to honour them in our own special way!
''brilliant voice'' ?! chi ,la Gheorghiu ?! ahahahahahahahahahahahah ! dal vivo in questo repertorio senza microfono la sua vocetta non si sentiva da 8 metri ...
Model de femeie adevarata preferata mea soprana o respect si o admir din tot sufletul meu sa traiesti 100de ani o viata frumoasa sa ai si fericita !sanatate multa iti dorim bravooooo !te iubim !
About this time with my wife I attended Covent Garden for a performance of Tosca with Bryn Terfel as Scarpia, opposite some lesser-known soprano. Just before curtain up, the familiar ritual was enacted of a flunky grovelling onto the stage to apologise abjectly that one of the leading singers was indisposed, and was to be replaced with a stand-in who happened to be in London that evening and had agreed to perform at short notice. But it wasn't BT who was poorly - rather the soprano was to be replaced by ... Angela Georghiu! Can you imagine? She just is Tosca, incarnate! The treat of a lifetime.
If I ever had the need to explain quickly to someone what an opera diva was... In the best of what that implies, I'd say "Watch this" To me, a novice... this is perfect in every way, she sings with such emotion and she looks so glamourous.
Astazi 8.09.2014, minunata noastra soprana,Angela Gheorghiu isi serbeaza ziua de nastere. In Romania s-a inascut marea diva si ea apartine Romaniei ! Eu sunt coplesit de emotie ca am prilejul prin intermediul acestei retele sa-i trasmit :LA MULTI ANI ,MARE DOAMNA A SCENEI ROMANESTI SI UNIVERSALE ,SA NE TRAITI ,SA NE BUCURATI SUFLETELE CU ARTA DUMNEVOASTRA DESAVARSITA,VA IUBIM MULT SI SUNTEM MANDRI SA VA FIM CONTEMPORANI SI VA MULTUMIM PENTRU ACEASTA !
I have allways wondered WHY romanians have to be proud of their country in youtube coments. I mean it is not a special thing, and quite annoying. People must learn how to express their patriotism in other way.
Borhina Daniela If you can't speak normal english then tell it in romanian! Presupun ca sunt ceva mai mult decat un taran comunist care se mandreste cu 4 persoane si spune ca tara lui e minunata. Tara noastra nu e mai minunata, sau mai speciala decat alte multe alte tari, din vest in special. Invatati sa fiti mai discreti cu exprimarile patriotismului pentru ca nu prea aveti de ce!
TheMelopeus Exprimarea Dvs. jigneste orice roman, dar mai ales taranul care a ridicat Romania ... Tara noastra e minunata prin oamenii extraordinari care s-au nascut aici... Daca traiti cu gandul in alta parte, nu sunteti roman... :) Limba noastra e cea mai melodioasa din lume, iar daca nu simtiti nimic, mai bine taceti si nu va scrieti limitarile nemijlocite niciunde... :)
Gustul nu se discute . E non e gentile criticare orgolio di essere representate come nazione sul un palco scenico prestigiosso da una bella e talentata donna , come Angela Ghiorghio .
How can this performance have 22 dislikes?! I was moved to tears it was so beautiful. Angela put so much emotion behind it, that I could feel it in my soul! Those who've disliked this either have no ear for real music or don't have a soul, because this was absolutely divine.
Because someone doesn’t like the same thing as you that mean they don’t hate an “ear for real music” or are a lacking a soul? Your ego is out of control. Pathetic.
I know I will be shot down in flames for saying this, but in my humble opinion, Ms Gheorghiu sings Ms Callas into a cocked hat in this aria. Bravissima bella donna!
I def shot you down in my head lol but its your opinion. I love Callas’ version, she is basically crying as she sings it, so much emotion. Ghergh brought me to tears also
Simon bates, DJ. Moved to "classic FM" I was driving the M42 to Warwick. He played this aria and after it finished, there was a long pause. He could not speak, I was in tears and had to pull off the motorway. I bought the DVDs... My ambition is to see AG live. Thanks to Mr Bates, I am a life long fan.
emanuel raducan hi i also think this is beautiful but i think technically miss leontyne price is better,,, miss angela did a very great job but miss price was just surreal,,, her trills were remarkable
The God had a "business" with this lady... He put such a talent, and combined with her work, is what we had seen today. Passion, feelings, emotions... wow
THE GREATEST OPERA LADY SINGER, THAT LIVE IN OPERA HISTORY, AND THE HISTORY OF OPERA HAVE A PLACE IN HER LIFE !!! UNFORGETTABLE BEAUTIFUL DIVA OF ALL TIMES !!! A ROMANIAN STAR LADY, ON THE SKY OF ALL OPERA FRUITS, OF GREATEST COMPOSITORS OF MANKIND! SANTA ANGELA G(ODESS) - L"AMORE DI TUTTI TERRESTRI DELLA TERRA!
Callas had what most other singers lack: A natural inner connection to the music. Singers today simply recite the composition. Callas became the character that the composer created. She was Tosca. She was Lucia, Medea, Norma, Violetta, Elizabetta.....Callas was Opera.
Vissi d`arte, vissi d`amore {I have lived for the art, I have lived for love} the famous aria sung by Floria Tosca from the opus Tosca by Puccini. Miss Angela Gheorghiu sings so eloquently with passion and artistic love.
After listening all the greats perfoming Visi D arte i can say Angela Gheorghiu is among the best together with Montserat Caballe,Leontyne Pryce,Birgit Nilsson and Maria Callas,but the second greatest in this aria is the magnificent Claudia Muzio.The greatest performance of this aria will always belong to Rosa Ponselle.When ilistened to the recording i couldn't believe what i was listening!!!At the end i was in tears and i didn't even notice it!!!!!Probably the greatest performance ever by a female voice!!!!!!!!!!!!
Great performance! I am not an expert, but I enjoy a great aria. I grew up with classical music while attending fine arts school. Thank you for sharing your talent, Angela.
I had the honor once to meet Grace Bumbry in Berlin ( caled the firdt black Venus in Bayreuth). because her son, David Lew Brewer, dirring behhind her, used to live on Betlin, and was associated with my brothers music compsny. David Lew Brewer was the vocal coach of Festiny child, Beyonce! And I am touched how touched how touhed Grace Bumbry is by Geoughous perfect Aria singing!
This is a voice from heaven - God sent ; no other way to describe it . No wonder she had the audience in the palm of her hands - her tone is pure GOLD and the depth of human expression and feelings ❤️
If I ever had to quickly explain what a "Diva" is, I'd say, "watch this"... Beautiful aria, commandingly performed by a beautiful woman in a beautiful dress who totally seized the emotions of everyone in the room.
I wish we could have seen the standing ovation that she received at the end - she deserved it because she gave *me* goosebumps hearing the recording; I can only imagine what it must have been like for the audience. If Angela Gheorghiu is to be remembered only for this performance of Vissi d'arte, then she is definitely among the great divas that graced the opera stage.

Разве негатив в её адрес возможен? Кто её не слышал, тот не испытывал ощущение счастья. Она Божественна в своём пении.

In my opinion, one of the most pleasant tones of all. Her timbre is just enthralling to me.
Perhaps the most beautiful and civilized music ever composed....
Civilized?? What does that mean?

Just came in from listening to Fleming's version which sounded technically perfect to me but *this* had both. The interpretation is just THERE.

Nothing wrong with these vocals or performance . 100% , great singer

I like her but that's simply not the case.
Nowhere near Callas in fact.
Superbã..emotionalã. bravo Angela.
Grace Bumbry sang this very same piece at the first Kennedy Center honors for Marion Anderson.
I VERY MUCH APPRECIATE THIS! I had no idea and it makes it mean so much more! 😭
Outstanding performance x.....
Fabulous! great to see Grace Bumbry acknowledging the performance so warmly
She his one of the best sopranos ever beautiful voices ever and a lovely lady
Truly astounding!!

De loin, la plus grande diva actuellement.!!!
Alain de Croix plus grande de l'histoire, d'après moi.
Excellently beautifully emotionally wonderful. I love her from afara.
I think that nothing - ABSOLUTELY NOTHING in this whole world - compares to Callas... But Angela Gheorghiou is by far the best choice we've got today.
I think Callas is overrated. She was very good, but tonally there are several sopranos who are superior in my opinion, including this one.
I think Angela is better than Callas
Анжела - лучшая. ... Видит Бог!
Gheorghiu's version for Grace Bumbry, Kennedy Center honors (2009) is the best version that exists.
So true! The best rendition that I have ever heard!!!!!
The world's best and most beautiful soprano.
have you heard maria callas's version

И никогда не было лучше!!!

After listening all the greats perfoming Visi D arte i can say Angela Gheorghiu is among the best together with Montserat Caballe,Leontyne Pryce,Birgit Nilsson and Maria Callas,but the second greatest in this aria is the magnificent Claudia Muzio.The greatest performance of this aria will always belong to Rosa Ponselle.When ilistened to the recording i couldn't believe what i was listening!!!At the end i was in tears and i didn't even notice it!!!!!Probably the greatest performance ever by a female voice!!!!!!!!!!!!

Невежество и зависть. Жаль.
Great performance! I am not an expert, but I enjoy a great aria. I grew up with classical music while attending fine arts school. Thank you for sharing your talent, Angela.

I had the honor once to meet Grace Bumbry in Berlin ( caled the firdt black Venus in Bayreuth). because her son, David Lew Brewer, dirring behhind her, used to live on Betlin, and was associated with my brothers music compsny. David Lew Brewer was the vocal coach of Festiny child, Beyonce!
And I am touched how touched how touhed Grace Bumbry is by Geoughous perfect Aria singing!
Oh my Lord...what a tremendous voice this lady has...such control and power...absolutely stunning!!
Bravo ai voce de aur bravo
Brava Madame Gheorghiu - your incomparable artistry is, to put it mildly, magnificent!
Cette Aria pour Madame Grace Bumbry, plein d'émotion, parfaite soprano Angela.
This is a voice from heaven - God sent ; no other way to describe it . No wonder she had the audience in the palm of her hands - her tone is pure GOLD and the depth of human expression and feelings ❤️
I'm so glad to be alive at the same time as this beautiful lady ❤️
A WONDERFUL ROMANIAN SINGER,MY PROUDNESS
splendido !
Quite excellent. Her tone is scintillating and her clarity on the consonants is marvelous.
Sad the 22 dislikers probably couldn’t sing a note, get up there and give it a go.
If I ever had to quickly explain what a "Diva" is, I'd say, "watch this"...
Beautiful aria, commandingly performed by a beautiful woman in a beautiful dress who totally seized the emotions of everyone in the room.
I wish we could have seen the standing ovation that she received at the end - she deserved it because she gave *me* goosebumps hearing the recording; I can only imagine what it must have been like for the audience. If Angela Gheorghiu is to be remembered only for this performance of Vissi d'arte, then she is definitely among the great divas that graced the opera stage.
Eine der schönsten und besten Opernsängerinnen der Welt ❤
