If there was an artist that could bring brilliance and sheer Beauty yo such event is maestra Frederica. Pure excellence!

Frederica is perfection in human form. Her voice is so powerful and amazing. God bless her.

I enjoy listening live or recordings of the great voices of our time. Von Stade is one of these. Both mezzo sopranos, Stade and Braganca have given great performances. Sorry to hear of Braganca's passing.

Her voice is deeper than the others I've heard used for this. It's lovely.

The best Cherubino ever, simply amazing.

I'm a REAL FLICKA FAN!!! (I named one of my cats Flicka!) I met her (and Samuel Ramey) after a concert at Brevard, NC in 2000. In 2003, she came to Hampton, VA (where I live) for a concert. At the meet and greet party after the show, I gave her a photo of her and Placido Domingo I'd taken during curtain call of The Merry Widow at the MET. She is a MOST GRACIOUS, GENTEEL, BEAUTIFUL, TALENTED LADY!!!

Her voice is and was quite simply brilliance. 🌹🎼🎵🎶💝

The gift here is I’m discovering her in 2021. Love her x

Wow, Federica is amazing!

Now on a tangent. In 1992, I got a part in the Stockton Civic Theatre's production of Amadeus. The director, drama professor at the University of the Pacific (Dave Brubeck's alma mater) found a brilliant soundtrack made by the University of Wyoming. And I proceeded to fall in love with Mozart and opera. That summer the San Francisco Opera did a whole season of Mozart in honor of his 200th birthday. My mom gifted me tickets to 3. The Magic Flute, Cosi Fan Tutte, and The Marriage of Figaro. Starting with The Marriage where I heard Frederica Von Stade singing the part of Cherubino. In the middle of this aria I closed my eyes and I could swear it was an angel singing.

C'est une pure merveille.

I think it’s the dimples that do it for me. I’m such a fan

J'ai déjà laissé un commentaire sur une autre vidéo de Frederica Von Stade. Je ne m'en lasse pas.Magnifique. Même avec l'age Frédérica est impressionnante.elle a plus de maturité dans la voix et la prestation. Quel charisme.

Perfection.

Wonderful!

merveille !

Too powerful. This must be passionate.

La voz mas bonita del mundo en la mujer más guapa y encantadora

von Stade was born to play Cherubino. And she always looked good doing it too. :)

Frederica

I used to be a simpleton. Not realizing that some women can actually grow better with age.

Flika forever

Excuse my error spelling Berganza's name. I confused it with the name of a city that I have visited.

Фредерика - одна из лучших исполнительниц партии Керубино. И здесь отлично звучит, но голос у неё стал меццо-сопрано. Правда, это 1992 г. Почти 30 лет прошло.

Das war vor 32 Jahren. Das war sie 47 Jahre alt. Also keine überraschende Leistung.

Way too much vibrato. Gross.
