My mother had a voice like that. She sang under Stokowski, Abravanel, Bernstein. Some Mozart, but mostly Wagner and Verdi. We lived in a house with no AC and she would sing me to sleep as a child. My favorite? Der Freischutz - 'Leise, leise, fromme Weise'. With the windows wide open in the hot summer. The neighbors never complained.....

This IS a recording on historical instruments played with the historical pitch (430Hz)... so I think Mozart would not be surprised by the pitch, he would be fond of Diana's voice for sure and most probably flattered by hearing this piece played and sung more than 230 years after his death.

He hated their arrogant attitudes and these were his opportunities, if they couldn't perform the Aria as it was written, to let them know they weren't as good as they thought they were.

The first singer to perform the aria onstage was Mozart's sister-in-law Josepha Hofer, who at the time was 32. By all accounts, Hofer had an extraordinary upper register and an agile voice and apparently Mozart, being familiar with Hofer's vocal ability, wrote the two blockbuster arias to showcase it. That's what Professor Wikipedia says.

The aria starts at about 1:39. What I love about this is that the Nachtkoenigin is supposed to be REALLY pissed, and we are supposed to be terrified along with everyone else on stage at her anger. This cannot detract from the execution or the music though, and Ms. Damrau pulls this off very well! It's not supposed to be elegant or pretty or coy or shy - it's supposed to be gruff and mean, and she gets it. The high Fs are there, and everything else is as well. Brava!

One of the greatest soprano voices of the modern day. She has the voice of an angel. Her portrayal of the Queen of the Night is one of my favorites. She not only makes the role seem easy, for which I know it isn't, but her acting and characterization gives the role life. Truly a musical genius. Heavenly voice.

Diana Damrau is absolutely the Goddess of vocal musicians. Every note that comes out of her mouth is pure gold. Her vocal placement is perfection...she has no discernible break, her breath control is amazing, her pitch is impeccable, her flexibility knows no boundaries, her technique is without equal, her phrasing is the best of any singer I have heard, her range is unmatched, her passion and intensity is unbeatable, and her musicianship is beyond amazing in virtually every style and genre...and if all of that is not enough she appears to be a wonderful human being and she is stunningly beautiful. What else can I possibly say?

Our diaphragm is an inverted bowl. The rim is attached to our ribs (at the bottoms of our ribs). When the muscle is contracted it moves DOWNWARDS and forms a plate across our ribs. The diaphragm is a muscle of inspiration NOT exhalation. WIND and brass players turn to the wisdom of Arnold Jacobs for knowledge on how to breathe.
