Not my type but Armiliato is cute, Thomas Schippers is dead.
Dessay’s acting of Lucia belongs on the Cartoon Network. Netrebko gave us a real woman, she moved people around me to tears. Dessay’s shock & awe just grosses people out.
Well Lea Zia you most certainly do have the right to call something awful. But to declare it awful with absolutely no chapter and verse smacks of vain amateurism. To say the Met Orchestra plays superbly is redundant. And what the hell is Afriana? No you are hardly clear with your pseudo Czech “Yje cjoruses”. We are so grateful that you “define” a lack of gravitas as fast tempi. So according to you there are no conductors with the “right feel”. Have you heard Thieleman, Mackerras and Barenboim? Crawl back into the slime and get yourself a spellchecker and listen to any number of amazing conductors of the day. But spare us your glib amateur “insights”. This board has sophisticates far and above you. Best, SNC
Lindoro at #23 – just WHAT do you get?
Lindoro’s assessment #5 is absolutely correct about Netrebko. He is using his ears, it’s as simple as that. Btw, don’t let that poster stand as representative of all so-called Middle Americans with those comments, either, we are not all so easily satisfied. If the young fan of that post was indeed comparing Netrebko to Sutherland, then we are in big trouble down the road. I am a fan of Anna Netrebko, but I don’t feel I am obligated to defend and rationalize every choice she and her team make.
wotan_in_inman (#36) – I stand corrected. Enjoyed your analysis.
