She's completely changed - for better. When I heard the in house recording from the rehearsal, I was immensely disappointed, because the singing was entirely forceful, uncharming, un-legato. Now the actual performance was much, much better. <BR/><BR/>She's a really excellent Lucia, though I think she still needs to improve her singing characterization, avoiding dramatic effects that in fact turn the singing less beautiful and not more expressive, but more forced or affected. Anyway, an excellent surprise - she really discovered the Bel Canto that needs to flourish in Lucia. :-)Ygor C.S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/15990858679351558108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6370742521301499135.post-83150386580721428082008-10-04T18:30:00.000+02:002008-10-04T18:30:00.000+02:00She si wonderful!!!

I liked Bczala more than i did her in that one, but it seems taht last night she was wonderful!! Now i regret not having stayed up :-( And i would tend to agree that this suits her much better than Anna :-)Haricleahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01550284403833944770noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6370742521301499135.post-20100229700677446112008-10-04T16:15:00.000+02:002008-10-04T16:15:00.000+02:00Wow!

I thought Damrau wouldn't have the sensibility to play the character (though she DEFINITELY has the voice!), but I'm glad I was wrong.<BR/><BR/>Thanks, Parsi, for this wonderful audio!<BR/><BR/>Alex,<BR/>Mexico.Alex Maciashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08105023731440920704noreply@blogger.com
