Her precision, evenness of tone, volume, beauty of tone, ease of production. There has never been anyone like her. Ever.

Ive never seen this before. What a treasure! Larmore is unearthly. There was never, NEVER anyone better.

this is the most spectacular opera singing I have ever heard ... extraordinary confidence!

Larmore is one of the best mezzo's America has ever produced. Her vocal range is phenominal. She was at her best in Rossini and Handel.

​@@piustwelfthAbsolutely. The sheer richness and evenness of tone throughout. Unmatched. Incredible.

I saw her at the Met singing the baroque trouser (lead) role of Giulio Cesare (Handel). She was nothing short of spectacular! Some of her live arias were previously on youtube, but they've been deleted. Also saw her in SF singing Rosina in Barber of Seville with Dmitri Hvorostovsky. What a cast!

The most gorgeous metzo of the xxth Century!

Yes!

There is so much body and pizzazz in that voice - she really knows how to join her spirit to the melody - it's a very old school notion, but frankly this is what bel canto really means - the soul does the singing and the body follows. Could listen to her sing Happy Birthday and be more moved than the dullards I've seen recently at the Met. The only who comes close is Kasarova - saw her and Florez seven shows in a row one year!

AWESOME. It's so cool seeing her actually working on it, and how easy she makes it all seem. Thanks for posting this bit of 'behind-the-scenes.'

She is GORGEOUS! A big thx4sharing *g* @ 4.40 ... so cute, so natural, so non diva and nevertheless so professional

What JOY, what GLORY!!! Definitely one of the greatest Rossini/Bel Canto mezzos EVER. Remarkably, also THE GREATEST Giulio Cesare as well. Even though she's had a great international career, I feel she hasn't received enough fame and recognition: she deserved MORE. The ONLY minor complaint in this video is the conductor's decision to excise a few measures of the orchestral playing in the very end. What's the point of a little sacrilege against the great Rossini?

Maravilloso❤️❤️❤️

Grazie per questo bellissimo e interessante video! Emozionante

JENNY, you put the Capital G in gorgeous.

I love her...

Quando le indicazioni di un direttore sono "aria fritta"... La splendida cantante ha eseguito due volte la stessa prima frase alla stessa maniera. Non c'era bisogno di dire nulla, tutto qui! Meglio sarebbe correggere le H aspirate. Comunque lui è Campanella, uno dei grandi italiani!

Aspirazione con "H", va molto dalla scuola tecnica o fisiologia e stile come nel barocco per esempio che influenza e che tra l'altro, penso aiuti molto e soprattutto nel delicato e staccato nella coloratura come per esempio lo fa Cecília Bartoli e molti altri che viene dalla scuola barocca e molto legato anche il suono è ovattato e non è così chiaro e in particolare lo preferisco più sciolto e leggermente staccato come qui, perché puoi sentire ogni nota e la "H" aiuta molto da fare e questa è una scuola come ne ha altre con influenze barocche nelle arie del bravura/coraggio... 😃

Fabulous singer. Whatever happened to her?... I don't hear from her anymore.

What on earth are you talking about, she most certainly has not. She recently moved on from the bel canto and baroque repertoire to sing slightly heavier stuff. Her Countess Geschiwtz and Kostelnička were triumphs and are available on DVD (she sang in the premiere of the most recent met production when it was first since in Amsterdam). Her Lady Macbeth was also apparently quite successful, she added Marie in Wozzeck to her repertoire (mixed, but mostly positive reception) and plans on adding Donna Elvira next season. She's quite busy and I have yet to here any plans of retirement
