Susan and Renée, friends for decades, exhibit here their beautiful duet synergy as they have sung so many operas and concerts together over the years. Just listen to their diminuendo at 2:20 on the word “ensemble.” They execute it at the same moment and speed, maintaining their exquisite balance of their incandescent voices. I’ve seen Renée in concert but have yet to catch Susan. I LOVE these two artists and what they have done to represent America on stages around the globe.

ale uczta dla uszu, coś fantastycznego ponadziemskiego !!!! O Jezu jakie to cudne. Piątek 1 VII 2022 godz. 20L58 słucham :) Idealnie dobrane 2 barwy głosów. Szlachetne brzmienie, harmonia cud. Dwie kobiety a jakby śpiewał cały chór.

There is nothing more sublime on this earth than these two voices together! Saw them at the Met in Rosenkavalier a few years ago.

My heart just gets so soft when I hear song....Just beautiful!!!!!!!

I love Renee fleming a lot.

You can tell they can sing when they giggle!

Wow wow beautiful ladies took about 10 seconds to get me crying of pure joy /bow

Pure Class. Thank you ladies. 😊

just beautiful and heart breaking in the best way!!!!

Because both have no resounding, no heroic voices, they create the duet with a tenderness that is seldom heard. - Cheers, Heinz

They’re great, even greater making this ridiculously fast paced (almost cartoon-like rendition). Can’t blame anyone but the maestro

Their voices match beautifully !

LOVE my girl from Texas, Susan Graham!!!

Wonderful performance.

excellent!!!! my favourite opera aria :)))

Saw Susan Graham in concert a few years ago. Extraordinary. With a brilliant song about being tall. Which i understood as I'm 5'10"

fast or not, I love sleeping while listening to Renée...

A delightful performance by two amazing divas!

Yet another legendary performance.

BEAUTIFUL!!!

simply beautiful

This goes so fast that it finishes before it started

So great... to grand ladies... want more and more

Stunning.

It is fast a little bit!

I wonder how many people that saw "Carlito's Way" with Al Pacino recognized what they were listening to when Carlito climbed across the roofs to catch a glimpse of his sweetheart practicing ballet.

Perfect pair.

Bellísimo

Gratulation!❤❤❤

That is the same conductor that had Angela Meade galloping during the cabaletta from "I due foscari." He was fast that whole night.

Well done girls!

ARE THEY TRYING TO GET TO A FIRE? WHY DESTROY THIS BEAUTIFUL PIECE. GARANCA AND NETREBKO DO IT RIGHT !!

What's the rush???

OOH the British Airways song!!!!! :) Renee always sings so pretty....

Takes back to when I was in prison with Morgan Freeman and Tim Robbins.

too fast ...... the director's guilty

You do realize of course, that your singing has extended the life expectancy of millions of severely damaged, wounded, depressed, infirmed, or just tired and sad. You allow us in this time of crude and vulgar, fascism, and diplomatic lunacy we crave the sound of the "humane" human voice raised in happy song.

弗来明在五十岁唱月亮颂真棒👍好享受🌹🙏

Delightful

Those who feel this is too fast should look at the score. The conductor is absolutely correct and the tempo reflects the sense of expectation and revelry that the words of the duet indicate..

Idealnie

My choir teacher.knows Susan Graham

esse dueto nos lembra o quão a ARTE É como a água, o ar.... o Amor, o DESEJO... e essas Divas nos trazem a invenção imaginária nossa de que existem anjos ... ou Deuses.... são os vivos, zumanus que fazem isso... enquanto imbecilnarus criam confritu e nine finger tbem roubam e osam de Zonesto... com 3 casa minha life empilhados na praia grande.

While no one can dispute the wonderful voices of these stars, I prefer the more nuanced performance of Sabine Devieilhe and Marianna Crebassa- a less-frenetic tempo, sung by two native-French speakers. This creates what sounds like a conversation between two friends, creating a much more melodic flow of the phrases, and less of an ‘operatic performance for an audience.”

Is is me or was the conductor rushing through that? I felt bad for the ladies as they were holding on for dear life!! They did wonderful despite the hurried tempo!

Браво.!

❤❤❤

I tried putting it in 0.75 and it just made it a wobbling mess hahahaha

Why is the Conductor rushing the tempo?

Not a patch on Geranca and Netrebko

Got'dam ms.graham👍👍

To speedy, they couldn't take a breath, so I didn't hear Renee

What's the name of the conductor? He obviously has no sense of this music, conducting it so fast.

alors a qui chante le plus fort la mezzo a gagné largement ,

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏💐💗

y like renee fleming

BPM alto rsrs

Waiting for Taylor Swift to do this with Britney Spears.

Who was this asshole conductor who turned this gorgeous aria into a race? Way too fast buddy......killed it.

Way way too fast... And I don't like the lower key

Fer crissake, what's the rush?

it's too fast to express this song...

Poor directing. Ranee be like (wtfff 😳)

Tempo, what happened? Was someone sick?

Dove è la sensualità e la dolcezza di due ragazze indiane???? :(

The conductor is rushing the tempo, and totally destroyed one of the most beautiful duets in opera.

so fast

😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Is this the "Lesbian Duet" from the opera Turandot?

Yes, why was he pushing the downbeat of every measure ahead of the artists.? Odd.

The performance of Dame Joan Sutherland and Huguette Tourangeau is far superior to this one.

Oh people SILENCE!!! Enjoy the music and sh... up. If all of you know better how is that you are not there singing. Silly humans, always the need to criticize everything.

It's tempo is FAR too fast for my liking. Anna Netrebko & Elīna Garanča did it THE BEST in my humble opinion.

I think it's just right. It should feel like it's conducted in one rather than 3 cumbersome beats.

Ä`

This would be perfect if it was just a bit slower.

Garanca/Netrebko the best duet

Who the hell dresses these gals? What is that gauze RF has over her oxide green lame dress? You add a strong accent color to enhance a less strong colored dress. ...that necklace does not suit the other singer... And the tempo is off: their singing is too rushed expanding in the wrong parts!

deux anglo-saxonnes qui ne crois pas en ce qu'elles chantent, c'est triste pour le compositeur !!!

what a waste of great voices to that sped up version! it ruined it

under performance from Renee...didnt like it

Although Renee is one of thee Greats. THIS was not a good performance. The tempo could have been slower. Otherwise, her placement was everywhere. A piece such as this requires Dolce and sensitivity to every phrase. I feel like Renee butchered this. I was quite disappointed to say the least.

Oh, the warbling!!! Terrible. Two pretty women who bellow like heffers.
