I agree with castodivo...I heard her in México and I thought the same. She was unbelievable. A true artist. Very beautiful stage presence.

She glows and reaches my heart and soul like none other

❤

Absolutely beautiful. But is this perhaps even better? ruclips.net/video/nFa1h5-3aVU/видео.html

There are lots of stunning renditions of this. But Kiri ( for me) is pure perfection ❤

The opera from which this aria comes "Atalanta" was written for a British royal wedding - that of the prince of Wales' wedding to princess Augusta - he was the heir to the British throne but never made it as he died before his father did and his son succeeded as George III -fast forward to 1981 and Kiri sang a Handel aria for the prince of Wales and princess Diana for their wedding in St Paul's and Diana tragically deceased as well. Synchronicity or what?

The clearest, richest, brightest, and may I say humble?

Straordinaria ❤

My clarinet (and sax) days peaked in the mid 50's. Excellence brings tears to my eyes.

Nonsense

Wow!

What a lovely voice and presence. There was so much Strauss and Mozart during her time, in which she shone like an emerald . But I dream she had sung this role. And Louise. Thais.

Such aplomb and a beautiful voice too👏👏👏

2:26 ignore this this is my audition exerpt LMAO

And this is how microphones killed opera.

6:25 😊

Superb in every way.

Although I adored Kiri, with her heavenly voice, she seems to be reading from the dictionary. She was far better in the polite passions of Mozart and light-Strauss. She didn’t seem to understand the emotions of Verdi or Puccini at all.

I only have to hear again how magnificent her voice is, and how technically perfect she sings to remind myself why I named my cat Kiri!!! (My little Kiri is 19 years old and ironically has very little to say in the vocal department - even her purr is a mere vibration)! But I so love my Kiris❤❤❤❤❤

So beautiful hes so handsome

One of the greatest scherzos from any symphony imo, manages to be so powerful while somehow still sounding elegant

The greatest soprano of all time.

Il y a quelque chose de dément et de diabolique dans le tempo et le rythme de ce scherzo.

This is a crowning achievement! Most sopranos screech Cilea's fortes, but the great Kiri sings them with beauty. What a voice! She makes it look easy!

Unsurpassed! 🎉

Podľa mňa sa Perlman, Zukerman a spol. môžu ísť schovať.

😂

👏👏👏

In quelle trine morbide… nell’alcova dorata v’è un silenzio gelido, mortal, v è un silenzio, un freddo che m’agghiaccia! Ed io che m’ero avvezza a una carezza voluttuosa di labbra ardenti e d’infuocate braccia… or ho tutt’altra cosa! O mia dimora umile, tu mi ritorni innanzi gaia, isolata, bianca come un sogno gentile di pace e d’amor!

Sorry, are beyond compare.

The poise, elegance, and sheer beauty of this performance is beyond compare. Such singing and such music by that Heaven-sent genius, Handel.

For sheer beauty of sound, this is the best version of this lovely aria. And she did it live!

Vynikající, stylové provedení. Bravo! 😊❤ Radost poslouchat. Díky. L. V. z Prahy

Mnohokrát děkuji. Paní Kanawa je naprosto úžasná. L. V. z Prahy😊❤

Ho ascoltato moltissime volte con molto piacere la Kanawa ... bravissima

Talento y belleza en una flautista inolvidable

Luv her handel work!

👌🤩🌹🌹🌹👌

She has not got a clue what she's singing about in this wonderful aria. Listen to Hina Spani.

I haven't heard a modern soprano (post 1970) besides Margaret Price that sings this with as much musicality and warmth of tone and stylistically on the money as Kiri in this performance.

One of the best all time!!!!Great!!

What year please?

Se l'esibizione è del 2008 aveva 64 anni. Direi eccezionale.

The opening phrase is beyond words.

Дурацкая певица. Кнёдель, дико маленький голосок, глупое напевание. Убрать микрофон-от нее ничего не останется

One of my favourite horn solos, very simple, yet pulls so much attention and emotion into the horn, with the flute distracting yet still acompanying

🇰🇷🇰🇷👍👍😇🙏🙏
