Wonderful performance of this glorious song cycle by the Raynaldo Hahn. My fav bit of this video is the accompanists tatty ring-bound piano score! Dr M

Dolcissima Di Donato! Sono nata e cresciuta a Venezia, amo vogare... conosco e canto queste arie: bravissima! 🎶💕🎵

Comment # 3 😄. This should have been an hour long concert special!. Her voice 🥇, the dress🥇, and her adorable banter to/with the audience.

Is that an angel singing? Di Donato is absolutely fabulous. What a voice,technique perfect diction and breat support combined with an angelic voice and a so charming personality. 😍 Perfection personified. Bravaaaa.

On top of her beautiful singing, she can be so funny. What an actress!! Thanks for posting this. ❤️

Dios... esa mujer siempre esta parloteando. Cuando canta y cuando enseña, ella siempre esta como es una especie de Stan-Up Comedy. No la soporto!

The note she delivers at 14:57 is without question Absolutely Positively Breathtaking!!. My Gosh.

Joyce has the voice of an angel! It's very obvious that she was gently dropped down from heaven to help the people's of the universe to try and make one to enjoy life! Thanks a million for posting the video showing what real classical fine art is all about!

She not only sings beautifully but she is a remarkable actress too. She is one of my most, if not the most, favorite present-day sopranos. That's what I mean 10:55

Super confident and convincing performance. She really doesn t need the bracelet or the earring accessories as she is such a strong visual character, but it was 2014! Overall Super.

One of the best sopranos of our time, what a beautiful voice .

A real American. A remarcable talent and a strong, beautyful soprano. Very elegant Lady.

I think she is real artist. I respet her music and humanity.

What a beautiful voice; a great gift from Heaven for us. Thank you.

I love it. Magic..

Masterクラスをずっと勉強させてもらっています。私が恋い焦がれていた歌声は、当にこの歌声、このテクニックです。

Wonderful! Champagne! & Roses ! Too You!

Joyce is divina. Absolutely in love with her

This performance is packed full with energy, guile and sheer class. I loved it.

Beautiful mezza voce.

Simply wonderful

oh beautiful Joyce!

Oh my goodness. This is amazing

EXCELLENT CHOICE DEAR DEAR DEAR JOYCE

She can really show off her smooth and seamless legato in La Barcheta. It is a pity that La Biondina In Gondoleta is missing here in this clip. It's probably one of my favourite songs by Hahn.

amore, bela bela

I Didn't even realize until now that La Biondina in Gondoleta is listed but she doesNot sing it!. Shame 'cause it's a Gorgeous song.

So much fun!!! I love her!

Reynaldo Hahn, one of the most renowned classical Venezuelan composers.

OMG! This is so beautiful!!!

Great! Stunning!!

Love it sooo much😗

Such a dissonance with her American English.... she's so vivid, so natural, and so damn talented. Bravo.

Mitica ... anche se inventa parole ❤

Bravos!

What do you expect from a charming Kansas girl!

EXEMPLAIRE !!!!!!!!!!

💛💛💛💛💛

was the "burly gondolier" a subtle form of sarcastic shade? you naughty Joyce! hahaha surely Reynaldo had cosy time after the recital... ;-)

😍

there's one missing, IV

4:30

4:36 La barcheta

If Joyce seduces me with this song (Sopra l'acqua idormenzada) I'll totally go out with her and let her to whatever she wants with me. I don't care if she's a serial killer. Although I think it's clear that she's not a straight man, so she's not trying very hard to seduce a woman the way men do. She looks flattered, not horny. This song is like 50 shades of grey - straight women love to sing it. because they want to be the subject. Most famous opera singers are from a singer family. Joyce is a rare gem - able to catch up, with pure passion. And it shows. Plus, I'm in love with this beautiful picture - the hall, the dress, the hair and the voice. It's a perfect picture.

Why is her voice cracking like cecillia bartoli?

I was hoping for a real veneto dialect, this is pronounced as a standard Italian version 😢. I am studying these pieces and it would help if the top artists actually learnt it correctly.

I dont want to be neg critical but she should have dressed more like an ordinary street woman, no insults intended. The character of the piece is not opera hall but more like an impromtu street performer. Still a very pleasing performance. Tell me to shut up.

Cuando canta en italiano no se entiende nada......

Good entertainer but I'm not fond of her voice. She does use it intelligently, but when vocal beauty is required, it's lacking.

Кто ещё припрёццо? Сходи купи себе мацы и шаурму. Ich habe keine Geld..

Venetian is particularly difficult even for Italians of other regions. No point in doing it if it ends up sounding generically "Slavic" and emphasizing the wrong vowels and syllables, 'ad libitum'.

Typisch amerikanisch,es ist ja ein Show,keine wirklich Kunst... hat mir gar nicht begeistert....es fehlt innerlich Emotionen.

I could certainly do without the speech (why do some artists think it is cute to talk to and amuse audiences?) but the singing is lovely and with great characterization, a quality too often, sadly more the rule than the exception, missing in performers.

She is so affected it makes me want to scream..." look at me i am an amazing artist with a strident, mediocre voice!"
