And her higher range is stunning. Super brilliant and piercing. No wobble, but a free, spinning vibrato. She is very special.

Cristina Deutekom - The best of the best!!!

It looks as if she were thinking "I'm just going to mark an octave lower, it's just a rehearsal at home anyway". She has an uncanny, and wonderful, control of her voice in her entire range, what a pleasure is to hear her incredible artistry.

Eine Jahrhundertsängerin, einzigartig ihre Koloraturen, bravo👏👏👏💐

the best queen of the night ever

The unmistakable Deutekom trademark at 2:42 😍

She makes high notes sound so easy! R.I.P.

Fantastic singer. I admire her singing since i was a boy. Greetings from Brasil.

I just love this interpretation. Sutherland was great in this role of course, but it's fantastic to hear this refreshing and stunning performance. She was one of the greats and not a diva by all accounts.

incredible coloratura her singing makes me emotional it is the pinnacle of perfect gorgeous singing

eccezionale...il grave mai ingrossato e gli acuti senza temer nulla. Composta come nessuno

Absolutely thrilling. Many many thanks for posting this. What a joy to actually see the great Deutekom making her vocal magic versus listening to strictly just audio.

I believe her top register is the easiest there ever was. She had unique ability to sing high notes without any effort at all.

Her vocal registers are very even in strength.

Juste Ciel ! Quelle voix, quelle technique, quelle artiste, quelle phénoménale artiste ! R I P

I love how she bows to the orchestra

my floor shakes when she sings

Бисерное,ювелирное пение!!!! Бриллиант!!!!!!! БРААААВООООО!!!!!!!!!💗💗💗💗💗

Absolutely divine.

Una voz que merece ser inmortalizada. Espectacular la soprano un talento que no se debe olvidar. 👏👏👏👏

She's stunniing as always. Love her. I'm new to women's opera and am in heaven with their fabulous use of the human voice. Indescribably perfect Muchas gracias for uploading this.

Hat man je eine brillantere Lucia gehört? Unmöglich!!!! Wo immer sie diese Rolle gesungen hatte, brachte sie ihr Publikum zur Raserei! Und siei hat diese Partie auf allen Kontinenten und allen grossen Häsern gesungen.

grandissima cristina!!!!!!

Gorgeous work here. Big , flutey and effortless free in alt register.

Glorious, absolutely spectacular ~ Brava!!

Fenomenaal!

This is the very deffinition of greatness.

Love her. Certainly a beautiful, musical singer....and a wildly interesting voice.

That was spectacular! She almost forgot to take a bow, but bowed to the orchestra twice in the end.

Cristina Deutekom, la Reine des reines ! Elle sur scène, même le soleil s'obscurcit et tout s'arrête. C'est terrifiant de bonheur. MERCI eelco67 !

Deutekom was truly brilliant! She could sing coloratura the "standard" way, or with her Deutekom touch to it ^_^. Would have loved a chance to ask her "ok...HOW do u do that!?" :D Brava. RIP.

Fantastica! Meravigliosa!

So exquisite, thank you so much for uploading this.

Tecnica eccezionale legata ad una voce splendida di soprano lirico spinto difficile egualiarla

I have recently 'discovered' her. Beyond amazing; what technique. Who can do this today??

Eso se llama mounsteocidad vocal, con todo bello color, técnica , intensidad, extensión, Dios mío que voz!,,,,,

Que maravilla y que notas más claras! Brava!!!

Che meraviglia ! grazie tantissimo per la pubblicazione

Beautiful!

Really love her a lot!! Glad I am bumping into videos of her.

I love her ❤

Spectacular!

Se echaba de menos tanta naturalidad. Brava

Fantastic!

Brawississimo ! Wundere Damme !

Excepcional , humildemente grandeeee, brava!!!!!!!

acuti di cristallo

This is exceptional singing!

Callas a dit un jour : si j'avais la voix de Deutekom, je serais la plus grande chanteuse du monde. Oui. Bien sûr. Callas était un génie musical phénoménal . Et Deutekom était un monstre vocal stratosphérique. Toutes les deux au service unique et absolu de la musique. Tant de bonheur et tant de joie ! RESPECT !

Her coloratura are so unique. I cannot decide between fascination and irritation.

Любуюсь этим голосом.

There are a couple really odd posts under this video. One is about Deutekom’s need to sing coloratura slowly because of her vocal approach. Yet the writer of that comment mentions loving her since hearing her Queen of the Night, which is anything but slow. The more egregious one is a poster who drags Sutherland into the conversation to complain about her bad high notes. That’s one of the more bizarre comments I’ve seen on KZfaq.

bravissimmma!!!!!!!!

Asombrosa belleza de canto!

A soprano assoluta! She could go from Lucia to Nabucco with ease. A near impossible feat.

I bet Cristina Deutekom is what Maria Kalogeropoulos wishes she sounded like....*such* fluidity, facility and evenness of ea register (don't get me started on Maria in this are) For what she seems to lack in outward emotion or acting beauty is triplely compensated-for with the sheer beauty. skill, technique, and *inner* emotion she portrays with her peerless vocal instrument! If I had 10% of her talent, I could have made a decent regional career IN tHE oPERA... oh god: Cristina is a supple flute, a commanding wind, a nightengale, a sotta voce tour-de-force, from sotta voce to full open chest voice... I could go on... I am babbling, because there is so much to speak of her. Better yet, just close your eyes and *listen-to* and hear her!

No tension

Adoro...Bravissima.Come si fa a paragonare alla Callas? Due donne diverse ed ognuna è magnifica.

Zelfs met de mindere opname capaciteiten van die tijd klinkt het gewoon goed.

I love my Stinche!!!!!!

Wer kann das heutzutage SOO! singen?.....und diese HÖHE!(kraftvoll und doch so anstrengungslos!!)

ha, ces vocalises en "typing machine", j'adore....

I'm in love ❤

She was amazing but stood and pretty much just sang her hear out but never tried to act. She sang so easily wonder why acting escaped her ? One reviewer said it was like hearing glorious singing from a statue!

REINAVA NO SILÊNCIO Lucia di Lammermoor - Regnava nell silenzio, a linda cavatina De Donizetti, narra o cenário à noite em que aparece a lua alta E escura, com a presença de um homem, cumprindo a sina, Chega a uma fonte e a lembrança de um terno amor em falta. Na lembrança, uma sombra se aproxima dela, e ela comovida Vê os lábios dele, em silêncio, e pediu-lhe uma comunicação. Os planos distintos, físico e extrafísico, estavam numa só vida. Ela sente algo sublime e a sua dor está em fase de erradicação. Ela começa a chorar, sentindo que ao lado dele, o céu aberto, O céu, aqui revelado, é mais do que um lugar, é um horizonte. Um belo sonho realizado, o enigma de sua vida foi descoberto. Nos tempos da pandemia, esses amores mal consagrados vem Se juntar nos sonhos, pois é a presença da lembrança da fonte Onde se irradia a luz dos amores eternos que juntos convivem. (*) (*) FERNANDO PINHEIRO, presidente da Academia de Letras dos Funcionários do Banco do Brasil. - REINAVA O SILÊNCIO (poesia), de Fernando Pinheiro. - in O mundo de Morfeu, de Fernando Pinheiro.

I have adored Cristina ever since Flute. But the one thing I have noticed is that this remarkable voice has a problem finding coloratura roles that she can sing artistically ... due to the tempi constraint that she can sing them with her vocal approach. She seems to need to take things very slowly and with very strange tempi and ornamentation. Don't misunderstand me. It is a fantastic voice. But there are few coloratura roles she can sing to showcase this unusual instrument. Her dramatic roles are really wonderful ... but also few and far between. But no matter what, I adore the sound and the range.

Unica

È splendida meglio di molte atre cosiddette Lucie,

Que legatos, portamento, fíato, es una Diva de verdad.

Si, la Pavarotti de las sopranas

This HUGHE TRUCK drives these serpentines down the Hill like a Fiat 500 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Fonte! not Fronte! Lol. Gorgeous as usual anyway.

singing like this, is not easy. Requires years of training and good guidance. Today, singers have to earn money ASAP. So techniques of today are aimed to hit the notes and not to fail. Volume, consistency, beauty and in general good singing is not necessary. And on top of that, conductors and directors don't have any idea what operatic singing is. I am afraid that what was called operatic singing is lost for now. A question : you never mention singers like Bastianini or Kraus. Any reason?

I love her voice. I was fortunate enough to see her in an Edmonton Opera production of Irving Guttman's - I think she stood in for another diva at the last minute - memory fades but I think it might have been Lucia . She brought the house down. Does anyone know the name for the technique she uses when doing rapid runs in the upper registers? I've noticed that Anna Netrebko uses the same technique. It's quite distinct from the technique used by other singers. For example it sounds to me as if every staccato note sung by Sutherland is sung on it's own breath, each note produced by the air expelled in rapid succession via the diaphragm. Netrebko and Deutekom sound as if they are sliding from one note to another on one breath (almost like a kazoo). It's not at all an unpleasant sound, just different (ALL of the notes are there). Or are my ears imagining things? Thanks for any advice/information you can provide. (It could simply be my imagination - hey, I'm getting old.)

5:48 a 6:00

Gloriosa tabadabadabada

Really love her singing, but, and this is just my opinion, I don't think her Baroque style coloratura can convey a variety of emotions. Other than that, she's really special!

Colpia la fronte, ahr ahr ahr. Sublime, comunque.

Un registre suraigu très brillant et facile .Mais des vocalises assez mécaniques et un manque d'expression.

I have been fascinated with her for a long time. I still don't know how she did that clucking coloratura, as if she were gargling with marbles. It's not pleasant to hear, but it's endlessly fascinating.

Splendida voce ed emissione. Però il testo :-/

A brilliant performance. The voice is ravishing. But i don't care for the cluckatora. What is she DOING to actually accomplish this strange feat????
