I love her. By far the best British soprano around. She is beautiful and classy too. Her performance at Diana's funeral of Verdi's Requirem tore my heart out.

AnimaeGirl...don't give up. I've been a classical vocalist, a singer for more than 50 years. You CAN do it.
This girl is VERY good at the coloratura sections. They are clean. If you've never sung this, it is very difficult. Fun, but hard.

Array ( 2 months ago by bigredsoprano)

fundfreq,
Are you a vocalist? Are you a soprano? Then you have NO idea what it takes to do this piece. The coloratura is VERY good. I'll take you on any day. I sing with a symphony chorus and do solo work all over. She is pretty good. Definately heard much worse. Until you can do this, keep your negatives
to yourself.

I agree with bigredsoprano. This IS very good. A good friend of mine was doing this piece over and over, and she would sweat bricks.

I always thought the lonnnng melismas in this piece were meant to kill the singers. :P

I'm going to do this piece in December and it's really hard. Those runs are very difficult it made my solos in Vadaldi's Gloria and Hyden Creation seem like I was singing Twinkle, Twinkle littel Star and I founf them difficult. The second solo she does I can do in my sleep but that's because I have going over it time and again for the past year

This is great renditon of the tune, taken at just the right tempo. Ms. Dawson is her perfect self once again, singing every note exactly as it should be sung.
Thanks for posting.

effortless and beautiful - very poised singing with total vocal control and a nice sense of performance.

Has anyone ever ... ( 3 weeks ago by vocalvideos)

Has anyone ever notice that this is sung with the starting pitch of an E intead of an F? I think I like it better this way! It sings easier. At least for me! Her jaw is so relaxed too! Amazing performance. Graceful, beautiful, and expressive. Perfect in every way. Thank you for posting.

Beginning this ... ( 1 week ago by shmuckabein)

Beginning this particular song on the starting pitch of F would not make the song in the key of F, but rather in the key of Bb. as it is most often sung. However, your comment re:tuning in the key of F is accurate.
