Ruth-Margret Pütz leaps through acrobatic coloratura

THE SONGBIRD: Ruth-Margret Pütz (1930 - 2019) stood as one of the most prominent European-based coloratura sopranos in the mid-20th Century. She began her career in Köln and Hannover at age 21 in light coloratura and soubrette roles, then in 1957 began singing leading coloratura roles in Stuttgart, which remained her base for most of her career. Other career highlights were prominent debuts in Edinburgh, Hamburg, Salzburg, and a series of successes in Vienna (Zerbinetta, Konstanze, Susanna, Marzelline, Pamina, Gilda, and Sophie). She retired as a singer in 1995 and became a voice teacher. She sang K.419 (along with K.416) at a Salzburg Matinee concert in 1961. THE MUSIC: K.419 "No che non sei capace" was composed by Mozart as one of two substitution arias for Aloysia Weber to perform when she was in Vienna singing the role of Clorinda in Anfossi’s opera "Il curioso indiscreto" in 1783. It's a totally obscure opera now; if it attracts any interest at all it is because of Mozart's arias. K.419 is a relatively short piece written in C major. The bold "cold open" bars remind me a bit of the beginning "Martern aller arten" from Mozart's "Abduction from the Seraglio" (also in C major). It climaxes in what I think of a coloratura soprano trampoline: a series of vocal volleys back and forth between E5 and High C6, with quick trills spliced in between, then capped with a quick High E6 -- all sung through twice! I've done a separate video comparing 14 sopranos doing just the last tricky section -- look for that on my channel.
