Martina Arroyo - Tacea la notte placida - Il Trovatore - 1978

This voice is one of the minor miracles of the 20th century. You should have heard her less than ten feet away on stage. Then you would understand what good singing is all about. This is good singing.

She's singing like a student... No legato ! Great top notes, though...  Not a very musical performance.

@migrinat Hahaha .. are you sure ? O.K. - if this is student-level, i want to hear them all :-)

[migrinat]

She's singing like a student... No legato between the notes! Great top notes, though... Not very musical.

@migrinat i agree !she has bad frases !And its too slow ...But She has quality in her voice and i beleave this aria does her voice more beutifull.And she maby wasnt at her very best that day...
