Cond.: Charles Vanderzand
1969, live, Concertgebouw, Amsterdam Видеоклипы
She was a talent that will never be repeated.
RIP legend ❤️
when she's singing high notes and doesn't sound trying hard at the same time. it's effortlessly amazing. what a queen
Anyone: this is impossible to sing
Deutekom: hold my beer
She puts the same effort into singing this treacherous aria as anyone would put in reading the groceries list.
By the way, I’m always puzzled by people who criticize her coloratura yet they love sopranos who crack high notes, who can’t trill, who transpose arias because they have no chest, no middle or no high, sopranos with tiny voices who insist on singing Norma, with wobble and goat vibratos and whatnot. 🤷🏼♂️
She may have a different technique but she has perfect intonation, 3 register, a fully supported sound, huge projection, perfect clarity, distinct trills and she is simply effortless.
Give me a couple names of sopranos who sang from Queen of the Night to Abigaille and everything in between with equal success and vocal credibility.
Lucia Popp maybe?
@@piousaugustus84 I love Popp! But Abigaille? Norma? No way!
John Wallace love Edda Moser but no, her repertoire isn’t comparable with Deutekom. Moser was mostly a Mozart specialist. No Verdi except for Gilda, she sang Liu not Turandot. No Rossini that I can recall, little Donizetti, no Bellini...
piousaugustus84 Lucia Popp was a wonderful artist, sadly she was taken away too young. She started as a light coloratura and later developed well into a lyric. But no she couldn’t sing Abigaille, Amelia, Leonora, Armida, Turandot etc.
To be honest only Callas and Sutherland in a sense can compare in terms of repertoire with a few exceptions. Callas prime was relatively short, the high register stopped at high E and not for long. Callas could have never sung Turandot in her late 50s.
Sutherland was the opposite she had a beautiful high register and she bet her life on it so much so that she sacrificed low and middle registers in favor of huge perfect high notes. And she sacrificed diction too. She had a habit of transposing up or omitting notes that she didn’t have.
@@piousaugustus84 I love Lucia Popp's clarity of tone!
If I had 10% of the control she has on her voice, on ANY aspect of my life it would make life so easy.
I am an admirer of Cristina Deutekom, but had never really delved into her art. For days I have been listening to her arias from the Verdian repertoire, as well as Bellini, Puccini, etc ... and I have found that in my opinion, Deutekom is one of the best sopranos ever. She should be on par with Callas. She makes the same chest voice sound that Callas explains in her lessons, a dark-pitched, cavernous voice. She could trill, sing in stacatti, pianissimo, coloratura in legato and her "clockatura", not to mention that she was able to sing until high D in old age, as well as Die Zauberflöte, Turandot, Macbeth, Norma and many other roles... Anyway, rest in peace Cristina, God grant you the honors you deserved here on earth
She was SENSATIONAL “live”. Heard her in Newark, NJ as Lady Macbeth and Lucia and as Elena at the Met. Technical problems simply did not exist for her, and her voice was round, warm and quite immense. Her fast coloratura singing was unique and some people just can’t accept it. It fascinated me from the first minute i heard it on record. Bottom line: she had a MAJOR MAJOR career, and still sang well in her middle 60’s. Those of us who loved her went and cherished every performance. Her Elena in the Met Vespri with Domingo and Milnes was unforgettably spectacular.
I just recently heard of her while watching different version of the "Queen Of The Night" aria and was floored by her version. So, I decided to look for more of her and found this. It's often said that the voice is an instrument and in Cristina's case, it undoubtedly an instrument. She hits every note whether is a quarter note, whole note, triplets, etc. I'm reading other commenters saying people criticized her but for the life of my I cannot understand why. She's incredible. As in so many cases, less if often times more. She's allowing the music to speak for itself which to me is great. She's not putting on a show, she's putting on a performance. 😎👍
I agree, I was completely swept off my feet by this. What a voice, unbelievable. I knew the Queen of the Night aria and it's mindblowing but this...thank you Cristina!
However, her acting skills were nonexistent. Part of it was the day and age in which she was singing. But for the most part she had zero charisma but a very good vocal technique. She always stood center stage stone faced no matter what the role demanded. But nowadays that would never be enough to be an opera star.
@@Parker-930 I don't know how those today can physically be so active whilst singing on stage. Not possible to flounce around and keep the voice steady. I suspect they often mime.
I liked Cristina's Queen of the Night most of all. That stoney face and lack of showing off gave off a presence which was more ominous and truly, fearfully cold and calculating.
Over acting can easily ruin a performance. It's supposed to be about the singing, the opera. Not competing for the Hollyweird Oscars.
They can keep the flouncing about miming lot.
I have listened to literally *dozens* of Soprani, esp. Coloratura, over many years. NOBODY even comes close to the flawless, impossible evenness of a voice like hers! Implicit in her perfect execution is art, interpretation, delivery... and she is THE master, No, WAIT: She is The Goddess of the classical Coloratura Art in Opera and Song. My God I worship in the Sanctuary of The Soprano, and at the Altar of Cristina Deutekom!
She is the best of the best, a real dramatic coloratura with a hugh chest voice !!!! Bravissima !!!!
I suppose, no, I'm certain Mozart is smiling somewhere... What a performance. Bravissima! May she rest in peace.
Mozart must've been such a sadist. There I heard only 14 lines in this aria and for it to go on so long and with so many vocal gymnastics he must've absolutely been blown away when he found a soprano who could do it with ease.
@@XaviRonaldo0 He had his sister-in-law who had such a voice, Aloysia Weber-Lange
If I heard this in vivo, I'd have gotten a heartattack. This is...astronomic. What an artistry. Her way. Nachtigall assoluto. I totally understand this 24 people that disliked this video. Ok. But this is unachievable on so many levels. Whole auditorium stood and hailed the Queen. 50 years ago! Deutekom, the wonder of the Universe 🌸🧡🌹🙏🎊💞
I came across this beautiful lady about 20 years ago. I have loved the clarity of her voice ever since. Pity I did not discover her years earlier. I am now in my eighth year.
What a control over her voice!! controlling the speed of the coloratura! at 02:23 it was lightning speed, and at 08:07 she slowed it down (normally its faster).. what a control!! and her ease over the notes..
CRISTINA DEUTEKOM A GIFT!! oh my goodness main stream music she is so underrated opera needs the respect its due in mainstream music i love her
This is opera! Viva Cristina Deutekom!
IF MOZART WERE ALIVE FOR SURE HE WILL COMPOSE OPERAS ONLY FOR HER RARE VOICE, BECAUSE IT IS UNIQUE
HORUS S. DIGITAL
TRUE!🤝
Absolutely beautiful !
She is certainly one of the best Konstanzes ever.
@@GenXLostInTx She was incredible!
Queen of the Night was made for her.
My alltime favorite soprano, it's a pitty that she isn't around nowadays. That beautyfull voice and the great technique she sings with is very unique.
A great voice and a great artist, without question. As a former opera singer and teacher, though, what I admire the most is the absolute perfection of vocal technique. All the notes are produced in her body with amazing support. Although she is "working" hard, the effort is all in the right places and without a hint of tension. All young singers should watch this video to see what technical mastery can achieve.
Exactly. And I think that those nay-sayers don't realize that probably this is the way the piece *should* be sung.
Yes.
@@johnnyquest6115 I am so sorry to read this. I hope you are ok now.
Completely agree.
@@MabelAmber It's the way she sings it, not the way it should be sung. Her technique worked for her alone but it's pretty unorthodox.
She had a bird in her larynx. Wonderful!
turkey to be precise. She was amazing nonetheless
ksionc100 savage but LOL 😂
More like an aviary
@@ksionc100 you such a poor thing
@@ksionc100 😂😂, yes but wonderful technique I agree.
I heard her in staged operas a number of times and she was spectacular. The special technique she uses for coloratura passages does not sound as exaggerated when heard in a large house as it does on the close up sound of a recording. She also was a good actress and put emotion into all that she sang.
One of the most beautiful voices ever!
She is phenomenal. Now in 2019 I am rediscovering her - what a joy it is!
That's a good point. She was 'the top' during her day; however today, she is no less great! A rediscovery? I think she was never really gone.
Una perla assoluta in questa interpretazione che richiede salite e discese repentine di registro... Una?respirazione da manuale ed una facilità acrobatica rara...
My favorite soprano ever
she's singing it effortlessly and its so great. her voice is so rare and amazing. queen!
And she's singing over an entire orchestra when this music was actually meant to be played by a much smaller ensemble. But the size is no problem whatsoever for her.
Despite her famously criticized "clockatura", her poise, self control and ease of emission speak volumes of her great technique
do a lot of people actually criticise her glottal stop? idk why people need to be nasty about specific technique to glorify others. eve more bizzare is the fact that i would assume most of these critics can't even sing properly themselves! jut enjoy the music, the technique, and whoever you likes, it doesn't mean the others aren't as good or downright crappy
Oh, thank God I wasn't the only one who heard her "cluck-a-tura". I thought at first my ears were a little off or the recording equipment was not good. What a great name for this affectation--she sounded like a turkey when it gobbles or, really, when a chicken clucks. I was like, "What is she doing??? She's ruining a ravishing performance with that noise!" Everything was top-notch except for that throat clucking. It was way too distracting for my liking...
When I first heard her doing coloratura bits, I was a bit apprehensive, too. But now, it’s sort of grown on me. I’m actually quite fond of her performance of this aria.
Pasquale perrone
Her technique is unique and brilliant.
She could also sing fioriture legato, which she did later. Why she ever gargled the fioriture in the first place, only she knows.
Una virtuosa irraggiungibile, perfetta interprete mozartiana
My favorite soprano ever, as well. Many thanks for posting this. It's an absolute thrill seeing footage of La Deutekom creating her vocal beauty that was like no other.
Im in love with her voice
And emotions
From India
Luboman411 I appreciate what you are saying, but you had to hear her live to appreciate her art fully. Her sound was huge in size and rang clearly and effortlessly throughout the house. The articulation sounded dazzling there rather than distracting. It was truly one of a kind.
Just utterly amazing....a voice not often appreciated enough
yes
Cristina Deutekom, une immense diva !
As noted by others, the sheer accuracy and precision is just outstanding. To perform coloratura with her technique, she probably possessed the strongest diaphragm known to man.
In some videos you can actually see the diaphragm sostegno it’s just scary. Check out the love concert where she sings those mean Turandot final notes.. and she was near her 60s.. she looks like her diaphragm could sustain the entire concert hall!
This aria by Mozart is the dawn of Liberty
Deutekom simply hovers above us
Ze was geboren om Mozart te vertolken!❤
Thank you for this. A great, great singer and a lovely person. She sang Abigail in Edmonton Canada. I was a soldier. It was the thrill of a lifetime.
Her voice was very unique. I love how huge and ringing her natural sound is. Her top register is very easy and extremely special too. She uses her voice to show expression not to show off only.
She needed to work on her delivery, though.
@@EmilyGloeggler7984 What possible complaint could you have against this performance? It was a concert, with no one to act with except the audience. Just close your eyes and listen - she's 'delivering' it all to Mozart himself.
@@featherelfstrom8405 Emily Green is a troll who is obsessed with attention.
@@EmilyGloeggler7984 You need to work on your comments as they seem to be limited to being critical of world class singers when you yourself know nothing about singing or music...and are somewhat unfortunate in more ways than one.
@@beachfanatic2010 In the style of Queen Jeremy.
Such amazing gift to listen to her ❤ Tks for sharing
Wat een techniek! Heb haar dit nog nooit horen zingen. Als Nederlanders mogen we trots zijn op "La Deutekom" zoals ze ook wel genoemd werd. Haar Koningin van nacht was ook onvergetelijk.
This is superb singing. I never tire of her brilliance and energy. She interpreted from within, the emotion goes through the sound and ... superb coloratura.
I was in the Salle during this concert! Wonderfull! The best soprano we had ever in history!
I completely agree. If only I had been born a few years earlier I might have been able to see some of them live. You have a treasured memory.
Best wishes.
Exquisite. Firm. Defiant. And all this done with practically no effort. Everything, and I mean everything, is in the voice.
2:23 3:38 4:11 4:18 6:47 7:02 8:08 8:17 extreme agility💖
I appreciate these foot notes
never seen such exquisite technique...who was her teacher? thats amazing, how precise she is, never heard that precise, clear notes
Fascinating to see that only around the 'high D' does her facial expression show that she is singing a high note. At other times she makes a two octave jump withought anything showing in her face. Also nice to see that she is not using a 'K' or any other strange mouth movements to seperate the coloratura. Also her ability to sing the coloratura slower or faster gives away that it is not a glottal technique or an aspirating of the notes...for with those techniques it is not really possible to do it comfortably at any other speed. She just had a very solid technique and when you see her sing it also does not sound that extra terrestial to me anymore, just very good :-)
She’s amazing! Total mastery and serene control!
Que hermosa y grandiosa soprano, fue una delicia escucharla y mirándola las veces que canto cuando vino a Chile a la temporada del Teatro Municipal de Santiago.
The amount of work it must take to be this flawless and to sing a difficult piece with apparent ease She is sorely missed not just a great coloratura but by all accounts a truly kind and generous person.
wauw this is amazing perfect technique
Unbelievable, sheer unbelievable.
Thank you very much for posting this! A truly great performance. She had a really wonderful timbre and advanced technique. One of the greatest singlers of 20th century!
Es la mejor interpretación lejos! Que habilidad madre mía!!!
It is a scandal how relatively unknown Cristina Deutekom is nowadays.
Her voice is immediately recognizable.
Her technique and skill were supreme.
Vocally and technically she roams among the absolute greatest ones.
She had thrust, brilliance and projection to her voice like very few others.
She was versatile as f*ck.
And her trade mark, her distinct coloratura, I love them.
Irritating at first, but of digital precision. Pristine.
Modern singers cannot compare. The most famous current female opera singer, Anna Netrebko, is a joke compared to Deutekom.
The most "current", truly great female opera singers that I can think of would be Renee Fleming and Joyce DiDonato.
Maybe Natalie Dessay and Diana Damrau as well. Dessay and Fleming are a decade or even two decades beyond their prime.
But not even close to the level of Deutekom and other great ones from the past.
Presumo avesse 4 polmoni. Nell' ambito dell' opera, purtroppo, conta più la vista dell' udito.
Ah, but they could often sing live without microphones then. Can you imagine the Micky and Minnie mice of today being able to? Not really their fault, either. Not when they have been wrong trained.
Both Dessay and Damrau had such a poor technique that they damaged their vocal cords. Damrau is also constricted, wobbly and sounds like she's trying to push the sound through a sock stuck in her throat. The best contemporary soprano seems to be Hernandez.
Superbly stunning!
STILL absolute perfection 💙💙💙💙💙💙
You can’t knock her technique whenever she was able to sing for decades longer than other “opera” singers.
If Diana Damrau was a cluckatura, she would still be able to perform Queen of the Night.
Yet she had to retire the role before she was even 40 while Cristina could still perform this role at nearly 60
had it not been for her heart problems, her career would have gone for even longer, and she'd be singing well even when retired
Cristina the best ever.
La voix de Cristina Deutekom est un mystère absolu, son chant était magnétique, irréel et presque terrifiant. Son génie vocal se retrouvait au-delà de toute perfection dans le génie de Mozart lui-même : hors du temps, hors de notre univers, intergalactique.
Juste pour information: sur YT il y a une version de "Ik hou van Holland" chantée par Deutekom : oui! c'est la même cantatrice.
PS - MERCI eelco67 ! You^re the BEST and wo LOVE you !
Kastrafior No one like her!
Ana Rosa Reyes
You are VERY wrong)))
ruclips.net/video/UIWcYIf2pF8/видео.html
8:17 There is no time to breath between these two long cadenze! And with high note at the end: 8:24!
My goodness Ms Deutekum certainly had an interesting technique as regards the coloratura. I don’t think I ever seen or heard anything like it.
Tenía un pájaro en la garganta! Maravillosa.
Queen of the semi quaver I believed she was named, and quite rightly too. A very distinctive voice and thrilling to listen to.
Simply the best...
Cristina made me a fan of opera. I know a lot about her and all that's she's done. I just wish there was more video material of her. But i'm perfectly happy with all the audio recordings. These ones are the best! You can see her really up close. And i'm still baffled at how she's is able to have such control, such ease. To me this sounds as perfection but i still can't believe she was really able to do it. But clearly i can see it happening here in front of me. It's pure magic to me.
I had the privilege of hearing her in live full opera performances several times and was always stunned by the absolute control and power of her voice. The technique, which in recordings can sometimes seems odd, served her characterizations well in the house and was always under her perfect technical control. When she wanted a legato coloratura she produced it; when she used the more staccato runs it always had a dramatic purpose.
The Nilsson of all coloratura sopranos 😄! BRAVA!
Amazing. Her techniches are awesome. She was unique
FLAWLESS RENDITION!!!!!!!
Mozart lived in a perpetual stage of torturing his Sopranos to their limits and beyond. And I love this!!!!
Mozart treated the human voice as though it was an orchestral instrument - like a violin or woodwind. No concessions made to the limitations of the human larynx.
I only heard her live twice (Vespri in Boston and Norma in Hartford), and both times she was really great.
It almost sounds glissando when she sings runs, but every note is completely distinct from the other - unlike Netrebko who sounds like a kazoo. I'm so glad I saw her in Edmonton Opera's Lucia - she was a last minute stand-in for an ailing Anna Moffo. I didn't know who she was before she performed but I certainly did afterward. She received a very long standing ovation.
Ouch! Netrebko sounds like a kazoo! LOL! This kitty has claws! :D
Ole Nielson A kazoo XD! I'm suppose that is because the technique nowadys sopranos are expected to go jumping around the stage so they have a diferent technique:( what a pitty because of that de can't hear anymore absolute perfection like Leontyne Price, Magda Olivero, Lilly Pons etcétera and before them Luiza Tettrazini and Nelie Melba being Natalie Dessay the only one remaining perfect belcanto saprano. You are a lucky man for having the chance of apprecieate her voice live. I born in México in the late 80s so bad timing and place for the best live ópera singers 😤at least we have you tube!
That’s funny, to compare great Deutekom with Netrebko, isn’t it?)
You can't compare Deutekom with that travesty Netrebko
@@grobanite4ever85 you're discriminating travestis
Perfect technique!!!! Remarkable !!!!!!!
LIVE LONG THE QUEEN
La classe absolue ! Quelle phénoménale ligne de chant, quelle technique, quelle voix !
Wonderful! Thank you for posting this. So hard to listen to such talent on today's broadcasts. I hope this is archived in the Smithsonian.
Ihre Koloraturen sind einzigartig: gagagagagagagagaaaaa......
Great! Thank you for posting!
The way she came across in the performance of the opera was good and effective. No flouncing around but a cold, calculating and determined demeanour. Made a good change.
Everyone NOT giving this woman a standing ovation will get a PERSONAL punch in the nose from me O_O
Her gargled and clucked coloratura was always equally fascinating and disturbing, but I watch her and see how perfectly she supports her voice. I find it very interesting watching singers of her generation (Freni, Price, Caballe, etc) and seeing how steady their jaws were. Whether singing softly or at full volume, high or low, they never looked like they were chewing as they sang. Their jaws were relaxed and steady. Today, almost all singers' jaws shake whenever they sustain a note, as if they're chewing gum, or their tongue waggle creepily in their mouths. Even Lise Davidsen "chews" her notes. And the queen of tongue wagging is Christine Goerke. I wonder what changed in how singers are being taught today that's resulted in this.
Monstrueusement phénoménale. Une extra-terrestre faite soprano, juste pour nous rendre la vie un peu meilleure. RESPECT !
Pure genius.
Merci mille fois. Hace mucho que no mandaba un comentario. Eres realmente nuestro Dios Eelco. No paro de verlo y escucharlo. Deutekomefran.
Hola yo tmb adoro a esta dama, sabrás tu donde podría encontrar vilja de la viuda alegre cantada por ella
Wat een fantastische, unieke en glaszuivere stem!
Ze was ook een lief mens en een goede vriendin van mijn lieve moeder(ze zaten samen op toneel en operettevereniging Thalia, in Amsterdam).
Hier kan M.C. een punt aan zuigen ....
Fantastische Stimme, wenn auch die Koloraturen gegackert sind. Seltsame Technik.
She was a fascinating singer. Very unorthodox coloratura technique but it worked for her.
SOPRANO EXTRAORDINAIRE, UNIQUE !
Her slur is clear making her singing very impressive...
Slur?
Not from this world!!
A voice, that only comes once in a century.
BRAVO :)))
Axel, it is Brava for Ladie 😉
BUT ONLY IF....we are lucky enough !
Magnífica
Just incredible. By far the most impressive ever.
Bellísima!
THIS is how to sing Mozart. What you get nowadays is not even half ot that quality.
I love her "clucking". Such interesting singing among so many standards. Unique voice, in strength, timbre and technique.
Gyönyörű hang! BRAVISSIMO!!!!
she must have a perfect pitch hearing
¡Extraordinaria! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
me encanta su interpretación !!!
Incredibile come sempre!
I am convinced Deutekom would nail the Diva Dance from the Fifth Element movie:)
Out of this world.
