Who came here after watching twoset?

The guy playing the harpsichord and conducting seems like he’s having the time of his life

Two set just reminded me of this and I had to come back straight away to this beautiful recording xD

Божественный голос. И это русская певица. Наша страна самая крутая. Бескрайние просторы - божественные таланты.🌹

Superior technic, clarity, diction. And her voice! There is a God and Julia is one of His angels! Bravissima Madama Lezhneva!!!

Kdyby byl někdo zvědavý na hlas andělů , tak mu pustím tuto skladbu . To je ta nejlepší věc na dobrou náladu .

Une très belle chanteuse baroque avev un orchestre idéal. Bravo!

Such an enchanting sound! how she’s able to blend so well with the orchestra and her technique is incredible!

leggera arroganza, sicurezza, mento in su, sguardo certo e sicuro, schiena dritta. che bellissimo talento oltre la voce.

She has a surprisingly large and pure voice for someone who is physically so tiny. Clearly, her technique is superb and she also takes care to place emotional emphases at the right places in the text which many Baroque singers fail to do.

Hâte d'entendre cette sublime chanteuse dans Mozart ♥♥♥

I think that if Handel was there... he'd be happy to hear his piece.

I love all the comments about how happy and effortless she makes it look... let me assure you, as someone who does this, she might or might not be loving every second, but she's a professional and working her butt off! She's not only a great singer, but a great actress. Even when the continuo crashes at 1:41 (I think somebody jumped ahead to the da capo) and she has to IMPROVISE and wait for the beat to find her again, she's right back on the horse in under 3 seconds as if it never happened - and until I looked at the score, I honestly had no idea. Also, I love the way she ornaments the da capo - enough to make it fresh but also stay within the style and not just show off. This is what an experienced professional looks and sounds like, folks. Exquisite!

😊 wow, a all round performance with a soprano with such a fluid voice full of amazing agility.

My Jaw dropped for the entire music video

Прекрасно на вечность

Meisterhafte Darbietung der Arie der Kleopatra. Dieser Sänger hat alle übertroffen. Bravo!!!! Teure Parfums gibt es in kleinen Flaschen

You can see the look on the concertmaster's face when Julia's singing. Mine too.

that's a real life disney princess and no onde can change my mind period.

Это самое лучшее исполнение арии Клеопатры! Юлия Лежнева - гениальная певица! Оркестру - браво! 👏👏👏💐💐💐

I watch this over and over and over . She is absolutely excellent, voice, expressions, flexibility, lyrics. Musically 🎼 🎹 she is excellent. Wow ❤

So nice to see an ensemble directed from the keyboard, which was the way it was done in the baroque period.

Fantastic Julia!🤗👍👏👏👏❤️❤️

Eine tolle Darbietung. Händel würde sich freuen. Danke.

Wie episch ist das denn ?? schwer genial !!!! C. Bartoli würde einen Hofknicks machen bei einem Empfang !!!❤❤

What I love bout this singer is not ONLY her amazing timbre & technique, but her manifest enjoyment of what she's doing. So many singers furrow their brows & look agonized as they produce their finest notes & trills, but Julia's having a great time, enjoying every second of the music & of her own virtuosity. And the fun she's having spills over onto the accompanists---just watch the violinist at 3.06! The sound is divine, but just watching her brings a smile to my face. Thank you Julia.

Oh, such joy in her performance and my delight!!!!!!!!

Astounding. She was 21 here? What a talent, and what a technician. She's a musician's musician. One of the most enjoyable parts of the video was seeing the musicians in the ensemble exchange looks of sheer delight and wonder-the little smiles that can't be hidden, the lively eye contact during pauses. It's exciting to be part of something like this: her singing is truly of the "I didn't think it possible" level. How lucky for those who were there to hear the performance live!

Auszeichnung für Deine Technik Julia Lezhneva! Die Bögen sind vortrefflich angelegt!Wunderschöne Stimme!Unglaubliche Schönheit!

You know the performance is otherworldly when nobody mentions the flimsy camera work

sooo beautifully sung with crystal clear coloratura and graceful expressive phrasing but also can we appreciate the harpsichordist/conductor absolutely rocking out

After watching a few time, I can confidently say that she is Snow White!

She has the most beautiful voice

Handel: I'm just gonna compose this shit. I ain't gonna sing it

I came here because of TwoSet. I've been a singer my whole life (not operatic, though!) and god, I wish I could sing like this....!!!! Definitely got a new favourite singer thanks to this!

I was lucky enough to meet Julia in Vienna after a concert in which she was encored at least six times!! She is almost exactly my height (tiny!!) and incredibly sweet in person. It blew my mind hearing her live.

She sings like a little bird: so effortlessly. It brings such joy to listen to her and to watch her. A little angel.

I also feel happy looking at her face's happy expressions.. Listening to her voice was like listening to the birds of paradise's joyful tweets.. So rare..

The male violinist at the back is so me HAHAHAHA but only his stare is so different while he steal a glance on Leshneva HAHAHAHA

She's the WHOLE PACKAGE OF HUMANITY IN ONE BODY!!!!😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

Wonderful! She's like a bird!

Женщина с живым голосом. Воспитанница музыкальной школы СССР. Юленька наша.

Thanks to twoset violin (or more specifically Sanna Iljin) for recommending this one. I just finished watching 29 videos of Julia Lezhneva. I've discovered a new favourite! Amazing.

Просто изумительно, как легко, как соловей.. Умничка Юлечка

She’s like a little bird, a nightingale… Amazing.

So, she got her voice loudened and can now talk to birds! Incredible performance, I'm so glad Twoset featured it.

As soon as I heard this singer's song, I became a fan.

Julia Lezhneva is an exceptional singer. Love her wonderful runs and resonant legato lines. Crisp articulation, the scalic passages are never rushed nor slurred; like the clear double tonguing of a flutist. Love her lightness of touch and superb Handelian energy. Bravissimo!

Everything about the comments here! I don't know if it was mentioned, but when your first violin shows such unbridled appreciation, it's not just another concert!

That little flutter in her voice at 1:13 to 1:20 is epic.

breathtaking. I switch my old high-end-Revox amplifier on and listen to her.

What a VOICE! I'm sure Handel would be delighted to hear Julia sing this!

Che voce angelica, meravigliosa, incredibile!!!

5:03 DAMN!!!😍

Excellent ! Superb virtuoso performance by JuliaLezhneva - what a powerhouse soprano! 👏👏👏👏💐💐

Огромное спасибо за эту превосходную запись этого шедевра в исполнении Юлии Лежневой! Много лет слушаю и наслаждаюсь!❤❤❤👏👏👏💐💐💐

Einfach göttlich!!!

Can't even imagine that a human voice can do all that. I'm really charmed. Bravo 👏

This is definitely harder than der holle rache..

Listening to this lifts up my mood.

Her singing makes your heart soar... the camera work makes your head spin. (And to preempt all the smart alecs out there... comments like these wear your patience thin!)

bravissima. ❇️ È bella voce. ✨ Tecnica è molta brava. ❤️

....ineccepibile e sublime.....

Her voice is out of this world, couldn’t believe such a big sound could come from a apparently small size person who was just 21years old during this recording. I also observed how the other musicians are enjoying her performance very much……..!!!

I absolutely love this performance and the way Julia is communicating with the audience by her gaze and smiles!

Superb music.Beautifully rendered.Vile photography.

astounding control, vibrato and projection and she is only 21 and so joyous

Не насмотришься, не наслушаешься. Спасибо!

1:14 oh, okay, so she's actually a songbird.

Who's here from TwoSetViolin?

Even though I get that this is extremely technical and difficult, there's this playful effortlessness about it which makes it just charming. I find that quite rare in classical music (but then I'm just a pleb).

I've seen this video a thousand times just because I like it. But I never realized what happened at 3:00 I know there's something wrong lol

Mi favorita, saludos desde Colombia!

It's like an angel singing

My FAVORITE ,,Girl''... !!!! She is ,,simply the BEST'' - and I will NEVER understand,HOW She can sing in the Corsette !!! THIS Girl should sing Something with Czech ,,C'echomor''... !!!!! As Lenka Dusilovà did... !!!

11 years ago?! Why haven't heard of her before??? Gawd, hot opera stars are soo hot! She's 22 here???

..браво Юлия...💎💓

This one really feels like someone who's waiting excitedly for someone special

Herrlicher Vortrag mit klarer und wandelbarer Stimme temperamentvoll gesungen. Ihr Gesicht zeigt uns Freude. Bravo Julia !

22 years old here.....unbelievably gifted baby!!!!

This girl stepped-out of a fresco somewhere in St. Petersburg; even her physical appearance, along with her voice, seem cut right out of the mid-1700s. The way she commands every note without belittling the accompaniment, and the way the latter doesn’t compete with her voice, is so cool to see on video. Thanks!

Her charm, personality and beauty are only equaled by her angelic voice!

1:47 that's really peaceful

Приятно слушать Юлию !!!

Блестяще! Много чувства! Наслаждение! Спасибо!

Ваше пение украшает этот мир, Юлия

Julai is unique, gorgeous, awesome. She is a miracle.

1:46 is this moment you manage to get a decent amount of spaghetti from your plate

She is looking like Finish girl. As many russians do. Great perfomance.

ΤΕΛΕΙΟ!!!!! ΚΑΤΑΠΛΗΚΤΙΚΗ!!!!!!

Sie ist auch die Sängerin der Zukunft! Ich habe keinen Zweifel, dass sie ganz groß rauskommen wird! Mit einer bewundernswerten Diktion.und einer strahlender Höhe.

Серьёзная и профессиональная певица . Замечательно владеет своим голосом !!!

Her voice is the silkiest chocolate; it's the smoothest golden satin; it's linens flowing in a gentle breeze. Her control, technique, and quality are so ethereal and effortless, and I love it. My ears thank her.

So good to see a younger singer who doesn’t sound nasal and constricted.

Your favorite soprano's favorite soprano.

Total outlier!!!🎉🎉🎉

Юлечка! У вас чудесный голос! Браво! Ещё одним лучиком стало светлей в мире музыки и теплее на этой земле. Большое спасибо вашим Родителям за такое прекрасное создание.

Lyrics: Da tempeste il legno infranto, se poi salvo giunge in porto, non sa più che desiar. Così il cor tra pene e pianto, or che trova il suo conforto, torna l'anima a bear.

una bambola unica.

As well as admiring her skill I also find myself chuckling when I watch her-she seems to sing a passage of astonishing difficulty and then looks as if saying 'well, that was easy'. Even the violinists laugh admiringly.
