Aprile Millo "Pace, pace mio Dio" La forza del destino

[SHICOFF1]

Magnificent voice and a magnificent singer, both equally important.

[prince2000ful]

Very lovely and dramatic voice for Verdi. My favourite Opera. Very good interpretation.

[AquaPewPew]

She was born to sing Verdi......beautiful!

[sashaverner]

fucking gooooooooooooooooooood !!!!

[Zashorigin]

Espectacular!

[slutsyo]

Millo is the result of centuries of operatic evolution. All of the great singers of the past were just precursors paving the way for this supreme voice that stands alone. Millo encompasses all of these great singers in one artistic spirit, in our time. She is the ultimate embodiment of musicality and interpretation of the operatic art, a human cornucopia of God-given originality and artistry. She has taken music to new heights that we will probably never see again.

[MrCafiero]

Great. Too bad they changed her from this kind of singing.

[Anchetu]

@MrCafiero last I heard her, last week in concert, she sounded great. Aida duet sounded fresh and ready. God knows we need her today more than ever.

[mariasarda]

Like Tebaldi ! That's amazing...

[kimancuo]

She sounds like her name: Spring! Imagine all the beautiful things of spring. She embodies them in her magnificent voice!

[tebaldicallas]

She is good, but she is no Tebaldi - she does not have have her power.

But it is a very good interpretation. Tebaldi was her teacher in Milan.

[DrFernandoBicudo]

BRAVA!!!!!!!!

[palymusic]

Ho i brividi...

anche i fiati sono musica e parlano al cuore.

Si possono fare le note, o cantare, o fare dell'arte... Aprile tu sei l'Arte...

tu sei l'Amore!!!

che emozione sentire la tua voce...

non solo lasci comprendere ogni parola ma la fai entrare nel profondo del cuore...

TI AMO!!!

[tenorman123]

Bravissima!!! This is singing of pure beauty and genius.

[vitroz]

Does a voice get more beautiful than this?!?!?!?!?

[halavey]

w7md -- I agree with you completely and I have heard Price, Tebaldi and Callas in house and many others and Millo IMO is the best spinto in the world of opera, it seems to have the best of all of them rolled into one voice.

[w7md]

IMHO Aprile Millo is the best spinto soprano who is performing now.

I own full La Forzas with Renata Tebaldi/Mario Del Monaco/Simionato on vinyl and Leontyne Price/Tucker/Merrill/Verrett on CD.

I am praying for a DVD version with Aprile Millo but with the present economic calamity and the reluctance of the Met and the Decca/DGG/UMG people to release current opera on DVD, I doubt that I will see it. How about an Aix en Provence Festival production?

[fookyoufookme]

I absolutely love her phrasing, and control of the breath in this my fav aria of all time. I do love a ballsy voice that is under control. Standing Ovation my dear.

[Jogab37]

Una voz sencillamente HERMOSA.

[pearlmuth3]

I agree with ponselle lover.

[oden60]

Millo: ogni nota emessa da questo soprano è una scarica di adrenalina.

Stunning Leonora!!

[pearlmuth3]

THIS was in Suburban Chicago and somehow I missed it. RAVINIA is beautiful and outside in a great setting on the north shore in highland park but glad my favorite Spinto soprano ever was posted here, WONDERFUL!

[dondelietausci]

sei stupenda Aprile!!!!!

che classe che classe!!!!

che eleganza che legato che intonazione che modo di porre la frase, ogni nota sembra una pregiera, che umiltà e che amore.

grazie Aprile grazie - questa è la scuola

[PonselleLover]

The most exhilarating tonal color I've ever heard live. Her "Morro, ma prima in grazia" of "Ballo" I heard in Paris in the early 90s still haunts me. Her stunning technique allows her voice to answer her least wishes as regards the nuances. The greatest verdian soprano of the record era, along with Milanov and Tebaldi.

[MusicaParola]

Her messa di voce in the opening "Pace," avoided by most sopranos is a testament to her solid technique. Her attention and care with the text is exemplary (notice the variations in the three "fatalitá"). Miss Millo ranks alongside Ponselle, Milanov, Tebaldi, Callas, and Price. Bravissima!

[pearlmuth3]

Millo is the greatest Spinto soprano I heard in 50 years of opera going. She is the greatest of our time.

[longlifeluke]

bello....interpretazione molto intensa! brava millo!^^

[Pagudo]

Brilliant!
