Stupenda!

Da anni non provavo un simile entusiasmo. Grandiosa.

😇 What a voice!

Dopo averne ascoltate molte, trovo che la sua voce di colore molto scuro, ma ricca di acuti ed agilissima, sia la più adatta per questo ruolo. Davvero strabiliante : sbaraglia tutte le sue colleghe! Anche l'Interpretazione è molto coinvolgente! ❤❤❤

Une grande contralto merveilleuse voix !

The one and only Ewa. Her singing is a miracle.

Magnífica! Incomparável! Soberba! Muito grata por nos compartilhar com tanta beleza de interpretação de Ewa Podles.

Adoro questa grandissima cantante. Fantastica, sublime, divina.

Voices like hers are rare. VERY rare!!! She is a force of nature, and using ALL her skills!! Wonderful.

Not nearly rare enough.

I saw her live and you can have no idea of the impact she has with the very first note she utters! Totally overwhelming sound the likes of which you simply don't hear. Her presence is equally mesmerizing. It's not so much acting as being. Also even though she was at the end of her career and her body very female, somehow she BECAME Tancredi ( which is what I saw her in ). She was sexy in a manly way.

Rip great alto 1952-2024

Sublime !

COLORATURA PERFETTA

RIP! 😢

Imponente. ¡Cómo me habría gustado oírla en vivo!

Rest in peace, Ms. Podleś 😢

Operas like "Semiramide" are not really "mainstream opera. This is an opera that was extinct for many, many years. The reason is simple: there are relatively few singers who can successfully sing this music. Whereas most operas have traditional tenors, Rossini wrote some great operas with roles for contraltos who had coloratura techniques. The most outstanding recent example was Marilyn Horne, who specialized in these roles. Such low female voices are very rare to begin with. I saw this opera in Chicago in 1971 (as a teenager) when Joan Sutherland and Marilyn Horne performed it. It was a never-to-be-forgotten evening which I'll never forget. In fact, I went and saw it again twice because I knew that I'd never hear it's like again.

Yeah, it’s hard to cast, but also it’s very boring. I love the opera, but I have to admit, it’s not what one would call conventionally entertaining.

Brava! Luv all the recent posts, especially Podles~! Much more of her should be on youtube.

Это что- то невероятное. Какие колоратуры в нижнем регистре!

Brava!

Bravissima. Il n'y a pas de superlatif pour décrire la brillance vocale de cette artiste. elle égale voire plus Maryline Horne

Peut-être, sur le strict plan vocal, pas sur celui de la présence scénique. Et sans doute, sans Marilyn Horne (qui a ouvert la voie/voix), n'y aurait-il pas eu d'Ewa Podles. En tout cas cette Ewa Podles là qui a été forcément inspirée par son illustre devancière.

Spettacolare ! ! ! (Quando penso che Rossini, in cuor suo, avrebbe preferito che quest'arie dovessero cantarle castrati tipo il Senesino, i contralti d'oggi devono approssimarsi , quanto più certo gli riesce, al timbro dei castrati maschi, e quest'esecuzione, mi pare, si approssima non poco !).

Does anyone know the rest of the cast and conductor? I'd also like to know whether a video of the complete performance exists. If so, please post it.

For the music of Rossini, the 19th century had the mezzo, Scalchi, and the contralto, Albinoni, while the 20th century had Horne and Podles. Will the 21st century have any of comparable splendor?

Podles is too throaty and Horne is too nasal. Listen to Zara Dolukhanova or Ebe Stignani.

Podles` coloraturas have always been a killer unlike her acting skills ;-)

К сожалению, запись очень плохого качества!

Not the best, but I think she is better than the "mezzo soprano" in the Met production of Semiramide in 2018.

Singers like this is why people hate opera.

In fairness, in this performance she is actually acceptable. It was only later that she became a total disgrace. But still -- the totally disconnected high notes, the crude acting (shaking her head as if that were acting). She may be world famous in Poland, but otherwise ... she's world famous in Poland.
