Free Music Notes for Anna Netrebko: Opera Arias
Free Music Review: Gimme Natalie Dessay instead.
Hit: 2 Stars
Okay, so this is the diva-in-training that's supposed to bring glamour back to opera? Yes, she is beautiful. Shame those hands had to scrub floors; hope she makes it on the cover of Vogue someday. However, she is not the Great New Hope for opera. That voice is not suited for bel canto, or Mozart. She sounds like a new Barbara Frittoli to me. Frittoli, with a dash of Fleming. She has that taffy-pull to her voice, like Fleming, without the heavy portamento and sighing and all those other awful Fleming tricks. The basic color of the voice is interesting, rather dark-hued, but the technique is not quite there, despite the studio producers' best attempts to turbo-charge her high notes.
Sorry, guys, but for romantic French and Italian bel canto reperatoire, I am sticking with Natalie Dessay!
Free Music Review: Well, she's pretty..
Hit: 2 Stars
I find Netrebko to be hyped. The basic voice is lovely and beautifully produced, but her bel-canto technique is not up to the standards set by other, superior singers in this much-recorded repertoire. The fact that her Jewel Song lacks trills or anything resembling them is a turnoff for me. And some of her runs and fiorature are uneasy. She studies with Renata Scotto. Couldn't Scotto have done something to improve her facility in this regard? Mme Marchese's absence is more lamented with each passing year! I did not keep this recording and the frantic advertisements for her second cd (that's not make-up, it's war-paint!!) did nothing to make me want that either. Sorry, I can't recommend. Howard BushnellFree Music Review: A mistake to buy this CD.
Hit: 1 Stars
Unlike Bartoli's or Hei-kyung Hong's new CDs, this CD was a bigdisappointment to me.
I guess I just relied on the reviews by Grammophon Magazine and
Amazon.com's review. Usually, I do listen the music before I buy.
For this CD, I had no choice since there are no listening booth
at the record store.
Anyhow, I hates her mushy voice(kind of worst feature from Sutherland's voice). Her voice doesn't have anything special except annoying sound.
Surely, she is very very beautiful. Perhaps, she will survive on stage because of the stage presence or volumm of her voice.
However, I have a big doubt that she will be successful in recording field.
