This is the Garanca voice I love (2007 to 2012). So so melodic and beautiful. Obviously her mezzo has become deeper and richer with age, which makes her a better singer, but this voice is just superb to listen to!! Just brilliant.

One of my favorite mezzos of the current generation. Mozart is my favorite composer.

Voce straordinaria mimica eccezionale un’artista unica e poi è eccezionalmente bella ! Per me è meravigliosa ❤️

La voix est magnifique. Beau légato et beau timbre dans toute l'étendue de la tessiture. Le style est soignée jusqu'aux moindres détails. Au point de vue vocal c'est une performance de grande qualité. On en est convaincu d'avance rien que d'apprécier la présence d'une femme splendide comme l'est Elina, d'une prestance hors du commun. Hormis cela, Sextus est un jeune officier romain, qui partage la condition d'être ami personnel de l'Empereur Titus et fiancé de la soeur de l'Empereur, la Princesse Vittélia. C'est justement cette double emprise qui le compromet avec cruauté dans la conspiration contre l'Empereur. Sextus cherche à être loyal avec lui-même, tout en restant fidèle à son amour et à sa grande amitié. L'air "Parto, parto" est un modèle merveilleux de beauté lyrique. Grande nouveauté : l'introduction de la mélodie déssinée par la clarinette, dont la sonorité joyeuse s'enchevêtre avec la voix de l'Alto. L'instrument était très à la mode en ce moment. Mozart avait connu et établi des liens d'amitié avec Anton Stadler, son créateur et avait écrit à son intention la célèbre Quintette et son Concert en La majeur KV 622, contemporain de La Clémence de Titus KV 621. C.M. von Weber, apparenté avec les Mozart, étant cousin germain de Konstanze, se souviendra de l'exemple de l'illustre musicien salzbourgeois introduisant le solo de clarinette dans les deux airs d'Ännchen de Der Freischütz. Un Mozart exténué, malade et déjà proche à la mort a ressenti pourtant cette belle envolée d'inspiration pour écrire ce merveilleux opéra, qui étant son oeuvre posthume ne manque pas cependant d'une particulière fraîcheur de jeunesse. Il serait nécessaire quand-même une présence sur scène un peu plus masculine que celle d'Elina pour incarner Sextus. Sur le plan vocal l'interprétation est merveilleuse, mais sur le plan dramatique la version est assez blanchie. Merci.

Wow, it's just to die for. So luscious, so exquisitely musical. Brava, Elina.

Just stunning. At every level. STUNNING, STUNNING, STUNNING.

Elina Garanca, voz belíssima! Sempre magnífica!

What a beautiful and solid voice! She reminds me of Dame Sutherland : rich and solid voice, completely mastered. I am a fan as of right now!

Fantastic musician with a beautiful voice.

Великолепно! Очень выразительно и современно!

Semplicemente Grandiosa!

Pasaules klase , mūsu lepnums ! Burvīga gan pati , gan balss . Skaisti ! Latvija !

The "č" is pronounced as "ch" in "China". Or in "Chichon", for that matter :-) The thing above the "i" is a length mark. Thanks for your comments.

bravo!

MARAVILHA DE MULHER. EM TUDO

Cecilia Bartoli also sings this aria very well.

Thkanks again.

Jy is WONDERSKOON!!!

What a voice! What stunning looks! Thyat's Karel Mark Chichon on the podium. He's her husband. What a lucky stiff! ;

thanks agalin

Rautaista ammattitaitoa kaikki. Elina Garanca kuuluu maailman huippusopraanoihin.

Karel Mark Chichon, conductor - orchestra ?

Why are so many of these videos out of synch? It's so easy to get it right. Th c in her last name is pronounced ch.

I absolutely love her... But I hope its a technical issue what we hear in her last note... Its off by more than 1/2 step... Did anyone else hear this, or know about it??? Im curious...

@holborne235 Who "they" accept and where a man who sounds like a woman? In a pop show or transvestite show where a man imitates a woman for fun entertaining the crowd? Like Klaus Nomi or Artem Semenov? You compare apples with oranges. I have a valid point here that she sounds too feminine for men's roles, and to enjoy her singing I have to disattach from the image.But I heard e.g. great countertenor Jochen Kowalski in this aria, and it sounds right! Real CTs, not like PJ,don't sound like a woman

Elina Garanca yes Casatorio Civil Arthur Giorgio yes Nov - Berlín Alemania - Elina Garanca good night wonderful Thank you lovely yes lovely yes l Love you Kisses Berlinale Germny - Poland yes NEW YORK CITY .U.S.A.

Who - I wonder washes the dishes ;)

Gut, gut, Sarantscha :) А какое у вас звание и должность в гэбне? ;)

This aria goes great with a Tito's vodka cocktail

@serenaluce But they can accept a man who sounds like a woman? Come on. Sounds to me like someone has an axe to grind more than any valid point to make.

I like her voice very much, but it's a MAN's aria, and she sounds too feminine for it. Why don't female mezzos at our time explore better WOMEN'S repertoire like Carmen which is sung by ANY voice from soprano to contralto, and leave castrati roles for countertenors who have advanced technique and sound like MEN?! That's why people are not interested in baroque and early classicism as normal people can't accept a singing woman and imagine that she is a MAN. We need a new opera reform now!!!
