SUBLIME CABALLE'

[Juliaflo]

Now, this is a voice for the Verdi Requiem.

The ultimate Monsey Requiem was in Sarratoga in the 70's.

PERFECTO, PERFECT

[tenorismo]

Favorite Caballe moment. Met Matene' Tosca , Giacominni is Cavarodossi. At Her entrence people were shouting brava brava per tutti il mondo, I loved it.

[dsenRuskin]

You had to see this when it happened to appreciate its greatness.

[Lanark8]

A voice so powerful it can Subdue an entire chorus without much effort.

[dajones32301]

Price and Schwarzkopf had definitive performances in this piece.

Imagine if Callas had sung the Libera me Domine...unimagineable!

[pesciolinotriste]

It's just a crappy recording. Her voice is still sublime!

[rich80218]

Ok kids, this was put together in a short time under enormously difficult circumstances...no one but a heartless no-talent would criticize what was by any objective standard a fine performance.

Now go clean your bathroom, you morons.

[Heraopera]

THIS IS THE TRUTH behind her unintelligent start of singing the Spinto and dramatic stuff - she ruined her voice.... But all her Donizettis and Bellinis and Mozart have been very very good....

[ericniels]

I never heared this sung more beautifull than by montserrat caballe. What a great voice.

[michaels7]

Yes, Caballe is usually great. Not here. Try Margaret Price with Abaddo on a dvd performance from the 1980'2 in the UK. Norman is also involved.

[lindyms]

I would love to see Margaret Price sing this. Can you post it here for us?

[beignet58]

Sembra il coro degli alpini all'osteria!

[sentheru]

I love her, too, but it seems that she phoned in this performance.

[sentheru]

I love Caballe, and this video is a bit distorted. That being said, her voice sounds a bit strained on some high notes. But I love her anyway.
