Why did everyone put negative points on my comment? I'm sorry, I was under the impression that mezzos were the most common type of feminine voice as it takes years and years to reach all the notes a soprano can, and guys, mezzo is short for mezzo-soprano so you're just a little lower than a soprano. Most girls without musical training would not be able to reach soprano notes. I have *temporarily* categorised myself as a mezzo as my teacher and my aunt, both professionals, said I probably was.

Well then I guess my singing teacher must be wrong ;)

Keep looking, there are a lot of different versions of this. I'm sure you all think she's good but in my opinion this piece is much to big for her voice.She may have been "older" when she recorded this but I still think this piece is too big for her voice. It requires a much fuller tone and more rich.But hey, that's just my opinion.This is one of my favourite pieces from an opera.Beautiful. Just not for her.

This is the best version I've heard. I don't know what you're talking about.

You would never know you were a true mezzo at 17.

Actually in Baroque times a was lots of pitches. In modern times, early music is normally in 415 but thats just an arbitrary desiscion based on the pitch of Bach's organ at Leipzig, i think.
