- Incredibly moving performance of this part of Strauss' "Der Rosenkavalier" by Diana Damrau as Sophie and Joyce DiDonato as Octavian.
At the beginning, Joyce DiDonato tells us about the circumstances of the performance... ^^

I seriously will never get enough of both of these women singing together...they are so perfect. This and Le Comte Ory have got to be my favorites with them together.
I just love hearing them together :) they're so expressive and they sound so wonderful together :)
Everyday I love DiDonato more! She surprises me in every perfomance! Bravi!
@rlee1976 Joyce was called to fill in this performance with 24 hours notice, so combine jet lag with the fact that Octavian was a very new role in her rep at the time and I think she was magnificent, as usual!!
I have fallen in love with DiDonato...Great performances by both.
Oh wow...that was just spectacular. I've always loved Judith Blegen's Sophie, but Damrau takes it to another place entirely. And DiDonato knows exactly what she's doing with that role...they were both breathtaking.
My favorite mezzo and my favorite soprano
Joyce DiDonato is such a classy lady.
I just died and went to heaven. Beautiful.
wow lovely. they were both brilliant. one of the most touching scenes in all of opera. and the black suit ! haha...loved the commentary on that...fit her perfectly and went lovely with the red! :-)
read above: she was called in from Europe on less than 24 hrs notice, and had to borrow the clothes to sing in. ALSO, she had not sung the role of Octavian very often by this time in her career. Joyce, hope you'll sing it again SOON!
Could happen to anybody! I saw her tonight and she was AMAZING :D
And I'm looking so forward to seeing Diana in March ^^
ASOMBROSA ( Como x otra parte ya empieza a ser habitual cuando se habla de Diana...) Se me han saltado las lagrimas......otra vez......me rindo a los pies de la mejor soprano del Mundo...lo dije en otro comment.....su voz evoluciona hacia el intimismo sin perder un ápice de espectacularidad.....BRAVA DIANA ! ...Voy a dar un brazo para verla estas Navidades en Madrid.....
The interpretation allows for a bit of leeway with the tempi- remember, both characters are supposed to be very young and all is new and confusing to them. I love the fact that although this is a "park and bark" performance, both ladies "act" their way through it which adds to the charm and makes it so much nicer to watch than some of the older Met gala evenings.
I love the way Damrau goes extremely quiet for "Wie himmlische, nicht irdische..." (from 3:36) before a hushed orchestra.
That really I had never heard, it's a refreshing idea that makes things much more lively.
Superb.
I have seen this Baden Baden production in Paris (Concert version).... Don't worry, Sophie Koch is reallly a GREAT Octavian!!! She was a revelation for parisian people and had a standing ovation.....
Stupendo!!
Otherworldly!
@light2lionz It is from the Richard Tucker Gala, held at Avery Fisher Hall, in NYC
wonderfull¡¡¡
Thank you Lilith:D
Great Lilith! Thank You!
she is beautiful as always, and so is Joyce!
My two fav singers ever :D
@fedtho That's what's in the score - most sopranos I have heard do the same.
Bitteschön :)
@suzanneetmoi Good point, darling! :)
Imho I don't think she is rushing them, she is perfectly coordinated with DiDo. When exactly do you think she does?
kaufmann too???! dayum I need that dvd now
ESTAN SOBERBIAS VAYA GALA!!!
2007 Tucker Gala
Oh, completely agreed. Garanca/DiDonato would have been GREAT...
When was the original date for this performance? I caught it last night and was very impressed.
Very beautiful but is Damrau rushing a few of the verses?. She has exquisite high notes and is totally different to the Sophie of a generation- Barbara Bonney but still effective. DiDonato is superb!
VAYA PAREJA!!!!!
雷好！謝！
Of course I have :) Oh, good news for you, btw. As Dennis won't be able to post the Hänsel video, he lets me do it, but I just want to upload the first scene and the prayer, so you can upload whatever you want from the rest of the opera ^^ Let's hope Carlos won't hate you if you do xDDDDDDD
We will get it for sure. And noone will post it on youtube before I do... Not if they want to live! xDDDDDDDDD
Ah, jalousie! Did you talk to Diana? :)
@MnemosynesCall Yeah, well, nobody's perfect! ;)
@Ostasio Asher Fisch :)
Nena, no faltaba el "que se besen" al final? Por cierto, quiero darte una gran noticia: a la Soprano le gusta la Divina Damrau!!!1 :D Muajajja. Musuak, lastana!
Ah, credete, credete! Povera me! xDDDDDDDD
Sí faltaba, sí ... Bueno, Joyce llevaba puesta la ropa de Diana. Hm, sospechoso xDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD Me alegro de que tenga TAN buen gusto. Pero claro, es tu novia xD
She dooooooes... *Sigh*
Hahahahahahaha Ah, lo sento il tuo tormento... xDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDd
