this lady is a force of nature ,a vulcano of sound and emotion

Quelle voix merveilleuse ! Quelle interprétation ! Génial !

Incredible ! Her voice comes litteraly from the earth !

A painful elegy about those war causes to suffer written by a genius and sung by the most talented operatic contraltro I ever heard.

Peu de cantatrices russes sont a meme d"interpreter aussi magistralement ce chant funebre de Prokofiev que la merveilleuse EVA. Tout est la ---- les nuances specifiques des pleures des femmes russes veuves, au rythme saccade, aux apostrophes de piete de la priere a dechirer le coeur... Une interpretation tout a fait exemplaire, irreprochable, penetrante. Merci, Eva! C"est un auditeur de Russie qui vous ecrit, qui vous connait depuis 1978, qui a tant applaudi votre succes fou au Concours. Bravo!

A force of nature indeed. I have NEVER heard this music sung with more emotional power or tonal beauty. It is a real gift to finally hear the variety of tonal color & expression that this woman is/was capable of. The more I hear Podles it becomes clear to me that she remains the greatest contralto artist of our time.

THE BEST CONTRALTO EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEVER!

What a GLORY of vocal arts in the whole world and beyond!!!

One of the rare singers who can lift an audience right out of the earthly realm and into something transcendent. I have seen it happen to an entire concert hall (Verdi Requiem, San Francisco Symphony). She is a saint.

La expresión de esta grandísima señora es algo fuera de lo común. Bravo por la persona que grabó este fragmento y nos permite ahora disfrutar de una maravillosa música y de una cantante única. Brava, Ewa Podles, bravaaaaaaaaa!!!

emozionante come sempre, grande Podles

La gran Ewa Podleš en esta rendición desvela el poder fenomenológico de la voz desvelando emociones bellamente expresadas con un desgarro en el alma. Dios la tenga en su seno🌹

Que linda! Que voz maravilhosa...

Magnífico!

inmensa cantante maravillosa

GENIALE SÄNGERIN! BESTE CONTRALTO ALLER ZEITEN!!! RUHE SANFT !!!

Liebe Ewa(!), gute Reise. ❤

"QUE BELLO ES VIVIR.CUANDO SIENTES LA BELLEZA CERCANA Y ETÉREA".HACE MUCHOS AÑOS QUE ESCUCHE ESTA HERMOSA COMPOSICIÓN DE SERGÉI SERGUÉIEVICH PROKÓFIEV A CARGO DE LA VOZ CONTRALTO MAS PODEROSA Y EXCELSA. J.A.T.M Contralto es la voz femenina más grave, ​​ y destaca por la rica sonoridad y amplitud de su registro grave, esta voz es muy rara y difícil de hallar; solo un 2 % de las mujeres en el mundo tienen esta voz. WIKIPEDIA.

Where? With whom? When? Such marvelous accompaniment deserves acknowledgment surely. I'm sure Ms. Podles would agree. Extraordinary in every way. Prokofiev never excelled for song. Many thanks.

OMG #girlpower I never ever hear a voice like that

Happy Birthday Ewa. ❤ rip

Despair from the Oceans of Existence - a universal singer

The recording seems to have captured a lot of the lower range as well :) All the better

Боже мой сколь же больно и печально поёт эту песню брава

No pongo en duda que si hubiera entendido lo que dice hubiera acabado ........llorando.

straordinarie corde, quasi sconvolgenti, per una ode ai caduti in battaglia; per quanto abbia ascoltato questo canto tante volte, solo ascoltando questa voce, ho sentito la necessità di cercare e di leggere il testo. Prima mi accontentavo del commento visivo, a memoria, della sequenza di Ejzenstejn.

Спасибо Вам, Великая Женщина с Великой душой.....

Я, как русский человек, безгранично благодарен Еве за потрясающе проникновенное исполнение такой трагической по смыслу арии. Покойся с миром, Ева!

Orquesta Sinfonica de Galicia, Victor Pablo Perez

I'd be happy to die listening to this.

Dios mío...

❤

Я пойду по полю белому, Полечу по полю смертному, Поищу я славных соколов, Женихов моих, добрых молодцев. Кто лежит мечами порубленный, Кто лежит стрелою пораненный. Напоили они кровью алою Землю честную, землю русскую. Кто погиб за Русь смертью доброю, Поцелую того в очи мертвые, А тому молодцу, что остался жить, Буду верной женой, милой ладою. Не возьму в мужья красивого - Красота земная кончается, А пойду я за храброго - Отзовитеся, ясны соколы....

Electroshock

I will walk across the white field, I'll fly across the mortal field, I will look for glorious falcons, My grooms, good fellows. Who lies cut down by swords, Who lies wounded by an arrow. They gave him scarlet blood to drink An honest land, a Russian land. Who died a good death for Rus', I will kiss him in the dead eyes, And to the young man who remained to live, I will be a faithful wife, a sweet lady. I won’t take a handsome husband - The beauty of the earth ends And I will go for the brave - Respond, falcons are clear.

Вопрос один: зачем?

Wobble all around I cannot understand word. Pity, god!! She need to carry clarity until she girare the sound around Eb5. Such huge chest, I think that keep her voice on tone, listed how her voice is in that section of her voice
