I was moved greatly by this aria like never before. Superb acting,I loved the look of this character from the first moment, the face, the costume, the sensuality... it was captivating! Sung with a voice from heaven so well placed and articulated, it stirred the emotions, Maria Ewing scored a perfect 10 points! All of this combined with the sublime, incredible music of Mozart, make this a treasure beyond compare.
I really do think Italian is one of the most beautiful languages, and it's very suitable for singing. I wish I could live in a multilingual society like Austria in the 18th century, where every composer spoke Italian and French including their native language.
I just now, when searching for this aria on Spotify, found out that Maria "was" an opera songstress. She died 9th January this year, 2022, two months shy of 72 years old. Sadly there is very little of her work to be found outside of youtube. Her interpretation of this aria, Voi Che Sapete, is still the best I've come across.
First of all, gorgeous singing. Vibrant timbre, flawless Italian, heartfelt delivery, unpretentious, unadorned, heartfelt. She was also a great Carmen.
I'm speechless. How on Earth a 20-year-old singer can perform like that? What a smashing debut! The human voice is indeed the most powerful and sophisticated musical instrument. Rest in peace Maria Ewing, you'll be remembered.
That was simply stunning... lovely... otherworldly! May Maria live long, prosper and bless the world with that rich, powerful, graceful and gorgeous voice of hers! I was more moved by her rendition than any I've seen.
Voi che sapete che cosa e amor, Donne, vedete, s'io l'ho nel cor, Donne, vedete, s'io l'ho nel cor. Quello ch'io provo, vi ridiro, E per me nuovo capir nol so. Sento un affetto pien di desir, Ch'ora e diletto, ch'ora e martir. Gelo e poi sento l'alma avvampar, E in un momento torno a gelar. Ricerco un bene fuori di me, Non so chi il tiene, non so cos' e. Sospiro e gemo senza voler, Palpito e tremo senza saper, Non trovo pace notte ne di, Ma pur mi piace languir cosi. Continue Reading Below Voi, che sapete che cosa e amor Donne, vedete, s'io l'ho nel cor, Donne, vedete, s'io l'ho nel cor, Donne, vedete, s'io l'ho nel cor.
Coma mai in Italia è pressochè sconosciuta, anche se paradossalmente le visioni delle registrazioni diffuse da youtube cominciano a renderle giustizia?!
Maria Ewing has in every role a special, unique interpretation. She is completly different from the other singers because she is the only singer who understands not to pay attention to the technical aspect of the voice but especially to the expression and interpretation and words. And that in a natural way and not overdoing. Respect!
Maybe I’m reading into it, but I feel like Mozart, given the tools available to him, and his cultural context, sublimely uses his medium to capture the nervousness, the confusion, the trepidation, and the capricious thrill of seeking pubescent carnal pleasure for the first time, as well as its accompanying guilt. He did this over and over, for so many fundamental human emotions. And Ms Ewing’s masterful rendition is unsurpassed, both vocally and dramatically. Artistic perfection.
Maria is such a great cherubino. Not only great voice and superb acting, Also so pretty. her voice is as light as a feather. I love it... so much emo..
Through the magic of RUclips I could listen to a bunch of other acclaimed sopranos singing their versions. They were outstanding, but there is something totally magical about this one. Can't explain it, can't understand it, she just has something more. Not a single nuance is overdone, every note has its perfect shape, the tempo is ideal to express all the emotions of the aria, it's nothing short of a miracle.
she projects the absolute terror in which Cherubino has to feel at the moment as he sings to the Countess--whose husband is sending him off to join his regiment.
I had to come back just to make sure what I was hearing what a voice and thanks to the like of RUclips will be here long then I will live I hope other will enjoy this as many of us have all ready done.
I LOVE what I see and what I hear! She looks like a child, like an angel and her voice is so beautiful ! She acts perfectly, I'm totally INTO this scene. BRAVO !
If you like opera then you surely have to admit this is a beautiful singing. We all have our favourites, but we can all surely hear the real and pure talent!
Maria Ewing superbe et totalement crédible dans le rôle de Cherubino , adolescent en pleine crise de puberté.J'aime cette artiste talentueuse. Il ne faut pas oublier que la comtesse finit par être enceinte de Cherubino dans le troisième et dernier volet de Beaumarchais ." La mère indigne"
Not only does she sing it so well, she really acts it...even with tears in her eyes. Thsi Cherubino really has the hots for the Countess, you can see. :)
I have this DVD and found that the director had all but recitative prerecorded so the acting could be on a higher level. Indeed the results are more like a movie with singing than a regular stage performance. And Maria Ewing is the finest Cherubino. The entire cast is extraordinary.
Voi Che Sapete: von Maria Ewing vorgetragen und leidenschaftlich gespielt, ist wirklich einzigartig und es gefällt mir außerordentlich gut. Ich habe dieses Opern-Video schon mindestens 17 Jahre. Es ist immer so, als höre ich diese Oper das 1. mal. Ein wunderschöner Musikgenuss. Vielleicht geht es vielen so. Das gleiche gilt auch für die Sull'aria, die in der selben Oper vor kommt. (Le Nozze di Figaro) Danke schön!
Es un lujo con Mirella Freni, Kiri Te Kanawa y Maria Ewing ...como amo y gozo esta version. Con que enorme belleza describe el amor de juventud Gracias a Mozart, a ellas y a Dios por permitirnos vivir y gozar esto, en dia de San Valentin feliz dia a todos y gracias por compartit
This gives me chills and brings a tear to my eye. Ewing goes so deep into her character, with utter conviction. Truly touching to witness an singer so committed to her art.
When most people open their mouths (including me), yak comes out. When opera singers open their mouths, this, this extraordinary sound comes out. So beautiful. Mozart really knew how to harmonize, huh!
I used to think no one could sing this like Cecilia Bartoli, but Maria Ewing just knocks it out of the park. Bravo.
Diese Version ist meine Lieblingsversion!!
Her acting is superb.....a young boy confused by these unknown feelings of love.
Excellent......
jesus, she looks and sounds like a boy!!! it's ideal!!! best voi che sapete i've heard and seen! she's talented actress, her carmen was also so real.
She does NOT sound like a boy.. 😂😂
@@cedrikmichelofficiel I totally agree w you! She doesn't sound like a boy.
This is the most believable Cherubino I have ever seen. Lovely.
EmKay Animations can’t agree with you more!
and also sing as angel...
wow. she really understands the character and embodies the role. and such beautiful singing!
On horrible days, and my best ones, this angels voice brought great joy and comfort. May she Rest In Peace.
Aw.

And a great Salome.
Love, love, love this version. She is fantastic.

Rest in peace Maria Ewing, you'll be remembered.
Maria you did it again. ...Mozart is very proud of you....nice , beautiful and wonderful voice....and a great technic....The BEST VERSION..
One of the best versions.
Maria Ewing was so beautiful back then.
That was simply stunning... lovely... otherworldly!
May Maria live long, prosper and bless the world with that rich, powerful, graceful and gorgeous voice of hers!
I was more moved by her rendition than any I've seen.
Voi che sapete che cosa e amor,
Donne, vedete, s'io l'ho nel cor,
Donne, vedete, s'io l'ho nel cor.
Quello ch'io provo, vi ridiro,

Sento un affetto pien di desir,
Ch'ora e diletto, ch'ora e martir.

E in un momento torno a gelar.
Ricerco un bene fuori di me,
Non so chi il tiene, non so cos' e.
Sospiro e gemo senza voler,
Palpito e tremo senza saper,
Non trovo pace notte ne di,
Ma pur mi piace languir cosi.

Aw. Thanks so much for the translation.
Stupenda . L'autentica protagonista di questa versione già meravigliosa.
Coma mai in Italia è pressochè sconosciuta, anche se paradossalmente le visioni delle registrazioni diffuse da youtube cominciano a renderle giustizia?!
What a voice i have almost tears
10 years ago, this incredible video was added to my favorite list. It is still my favorite version of Voi Che Sapete today. So touching!

A leghitelesebb "kisfiú", gyönyörű hanggal!
Elizabeth Schwarkopf
Tatiana Troyanos, Karl Böhm and Berliner Operorchester, 1968
Interpretazione e recitazione prime in assoluto. Fantastica !!!

charmant cherubin si agréable à écouter , un pure délice... merciiiiii..
I've watched many Cherubino's on youtube and this performance is the most convincing and sincere of all!! I loved it! Thanks for posting :)

There are many beautiful versions of this song, but when you can hear AND see Maria, she is simply the best.
I think this movie really wonderful. Maria Ewing is the best Cherubino I ever saw. Thanks!!

You're right! The other Voi Che's look happy - but they should be terrified.
I love her acting, and her voice matches it. Superb.
First Cherubino i've seen who actually looks like a boy.
Yeah, she looks androgynous enough to fulfill it...I think she might’ve been in her teens (around Cherubino’s age) when she did this.
she looks like a boy and at the same time sings like an angel...
Te nos fuistes el 10 de enero, Maria. Siempre voy a llevar en mi corazon tu gloriosa voy e interpretacion de cherubino. Hasta siempre!!!
Definitely the best interpretation of this aria I ever heard.
I had to come back just to make sure what I was hearing what a voice and thanks to the like of RUclips will be here long then I will live I hope other will enjoy this as many of us have all ready done.

If you like opera then you surely have to admit this is a beautiful singing. We all have our favourites, but we can all surely hear the real and pure talent!
she is great and she is also a fantastic actress !!she is so truthfully.
merveilleuse Maria Ewing au visage enfantin si expressif et dont la voix met si bien en valeur cette magnifique musique de Mozart
Maria Ewing superbe et totalement crédible dans le rôle de Cherubino , adolescent en pleine crise de puberté.J'aime cette artiste talentueuse.
Il ne faut pas oublier que la comtesse finit par être enceinte de Cherubino dans le troisième et dernier volet de Beaumarchais ." La mère indigne"

on youtube .
This gives me chills and brings a tear to my eye. Ewing goes so deep into her character, with utter conviction. Truly touching to witness an singer so committed to her art.
Absolutely breathtaking sound.
Angels in heaven couldn't beat this voice. Not only can she sing, but she is actually in character, which is rare in an opera singer.
RIP Maria. We'll always remember you!
Simply... The most.
And thanks for the words in English
