That was amazing! In my opinion, there's nothing quite as emotionally potent as a soprano belting out an aria with every fiber of her soul. Thank you, June Anderson, for being such a wonderful singer!!

phanerothyme1 and this is one of Mozart’s belters.

OMG! i wish mozart was alive to hear this!

honestly the best performance of this aria I've heard. Each note is so natural and unforced. But unfortunately she did not sing this role. I would buy it immediately!

Ach Ich Liebte would destroy her honestly. That’s probably the reason she stayed away from the role.

@@jjh2456 That is unlikely. Frankly the heavier bel canto roles were more what her bookings were. And Anderson had a penchant for rebellion wanting often to sing roles that were sort of a waste of time ( Trovatore which was dull in her voice) instead of the lyric coloratura roles that were expected. It’s very likely that Anderson had sung this role at New York City opera or elsewhere in B houses earlier in her career and just discarded it. Konstanze is a lot of work.

She's in the same rank with M. Price, Callas & Edda Moser (my all time favorite)

....sublime....inarrivabile Mozart...e un grazie a Jne Anderson

magnifique!!! Quelle voix splendide. Et cette musique, je l'adore. Mozart était vraiment le plus grand compositeur de tous les temps

sweeping effortless high registers!!! She was born to sing coloratura! You can't hear a single breath in there, NOW THAT'S technique!

Amazing. I admire her ability to remain calm during that demanding aria. She s given one of the best performances of this score.

Beautiful, controlled voice with a range I'm jealous of. Amazing song.

Que buena version, hasta el momento mi preferida era la de Edda Moser,`pero sin duda la de Anderson. tambien es una de las mejores. Un deleite.

Fantastic performance !!

Fabulous! What a wonderful performance. What was Mozart thinking? lol. This piece is like a concerto for voice and orchestra. Brava June Anderson!

Ангел спустился на Землю пение бельканто браво.....

Una verdadera tortura cantar esta endiablada aria. Bravo!

She is perfection!

One of my fave coloraturas of all time.

Fantastic singing bravo June

This is how perfection sounds!!!

It's a shame Mostly Mozart festival doesn't feature principal singers from the Met any longer...usually lesser known ones.

BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!

Breathtaking!

Une leçon de chant. Quelle musicalité jusque dans les moindres ornements qui sont soignés à l'extrême.

its when they they start at a lower note then slide up to the actual note

I always loved June and saw her in many of her great bel canto roles. This is great singing. But I'm not sure that she and Mozart were a stylistic match. I can only recall seeing her as Donna Elvira in a Mozart opera. No one can say she isn't one of the greats!

Excellent. Great Mozart style. I don't find the tempo slow. It's perfect.

This song, and I believe she sang several others as well. I think she sang the Queen of the Night's 2nd Aria but I'm not sure.

Quite good, brava June. Yes the hair had better be an attempt at a period look - I've never seen her wear it this way on any other occasion - looks like Madeleine Kahn in Young Frankenstein!

Parmi les grandes interprètes de Konzstanze June Anderson est la soprano coloratura dramatique idéale avec Christiane Eda-Pierre sa devancière et Edita Gruberova. Pureté du timbre, ligne de chant, vocalises exquises et impeccables.

La voix de Sumi Jo? Où entendez-vous cela? C'est bel et bien la voix de June sur cette vidéo. Il y a une version de cet air par Sumi Jo parmi les vidéos relatives à celle-ci, et la voix de Sumi est bien différente de celle de June.

I think you people are confusing scooping with a healthy legato. Yes she scooped 2 or 3 times but she definitely wasn't Gruberova-ing the whole piece.

@luceafarul579

Exactly. People can't understand that when you slide upwards instead of jumping to the note, it's considered a superior technique because it shows that you are not stopping your breath in that legato. People need to stop with their absurd Maria callas worship and know that callas can't do everything. She certainly cannot remotely sing Mozart. Her rendition was sharp and shrieky. Mozart is all about making a good sound for that heavenly feel. Callas on the other hand is a dramatic singer. She can't sing Mozart with that dull ugly voice. Doesn't matter how good her Bel Canto legatos are (she also can't do staccato) Period.

rayterrell, i'm interested where this lyric-spinto coloratura fach is classified. to my knowledge there are only two classified coloratura fachs, lyrischer koloratursopran and dramatischer koloratursopran. the dramatic coloratura soprano is probably closest to the vocal quality you're describing as those voices are much richer in quality than a lyric coloratura.

Brava

So funny the cellist turning the page at 2:58 !!!

Her voice sounded nothing less than divine in Amadeus. Especially for that little clip of this song.

June does a fine job here, considering the complexities of this aria. Her timbre seems compatible with the character of the role, even if her occasional scooping attack detracts. Sutherland's recorded version on London is stunning, and my favorite version. Dame Joan never did perform this role on stage. She withdrew from a scheduled performance at the Met in her mid-fifties, apparently concerned that the high tessitura might cause strain.

I love this lady. I am so impressed with her singing and her excellent STYLE and ability to sing ACCURATELY! She is excellent.....Joan Sutherland is still the standard of near perfection...but this lady is close. Very well done!

7:26 Renée Fleming!

She is the modern Joan Sutherland. She resembles her physically too.

5*****:)

Agreed. Anderson has lovely agility, but it's not as dynamic as say Sutherland, Callas and even Gruberova. Some of the turns are very cumbersome. A marvellous voice though. Terrific intonation.

You mean shrieking the tops for a louder sound? Mozart is about evenness of sound. The way that she sang is the golden standard.

That's truly E F F O R T L E S S singing....However, I feel JA's voice/interpretation lacks Konstanze's defiance (perhaps because of the fact that she didn't play the role onstage)....'cause that is what she's doing: defying the Bassa.....But from a purely technical standpoint, It's a total delight....

She is a great Mozart singer... and isn't her instrument big enough for Wagner...? Certainly for average size theatres...

My ass is a dramatico coloratura too you know. Damrau is a soubrette and I am not saying this just to be mean. Damrau's voice is extremely loud and very small. June Anderson, Cristina Deuketom and Sutherland are dramatic coloraturas.

Celui qui croit entendre une autre chanteuse est de ces personnes qui cherchent toujours la petite bête. Dommage il ne profite pas.

Her voice seems so fragile that heavier roles........well, not the best fit I would say. And this role in the german fach is sometimes considered as a dramatic - coloratura part.

The tempo of this is too slow.. Anderson has a loverly voice but it is a slow voice.

I wouldn't say that but the problem here ALSO is that he's not following her tempo. She's constantly behind the orchestra ever so slightly. Her runs are more that of a normal tempo, and also we're so used to the Bartoli effect of the last 25 years or more where everyone sings runs super duper quick. It's unfair to singers who sing runs well but don't sing them that fast. But I agree it sounds too slow on these runs. And her vibrato slows down on top which makes it jarring.

Callas could not sing this aria because she was no colloratura soprano..She tryed but it sounded awfull. She did not like Mozart and was not capable of singing his music aldo she had this fantastic voice
