Lucia Popp ~ Come scoglio (Cosi fan tutte) RARE!

[andysbg77]

Her voice was great till her early death! Listen to her Vitellia!

That is not a "ill voice"!!!!!

[MrLupo23]

Well the voice was not so good anymore ma che squillo ragazzi!!! RIP.

[jiuliamuzic]

великолепно,всегда с таким музыкальным вкусом!Лючия очень трогательная,нежная и женственная!

[Randidan]

I truly think the role was beyond her powers -- but it's a valiant attempt by a non-coloratura, non dramatic, soprano who was probably already ill... It's always nice to hear that distinct, individual sound again!

[vitellia]

WOW, Lucia Popp as Fiordiligi?! That eternally silvery voice! Even at this stage of her life and career, that voice remains ever so youthful. She might be the prototype of the youthful-sounding superb Fiordiligis, e.g., Miah Persson and Sally Matthews. After all, youthful-sounding doesn't necessarily mean they lack the requisite low notes. My only complaint is that the bits of coloratura in this piece is pretty sloppy here.

[FloriaTosca90]

What a soft and beautiful singing! Perfect Fiordiligi!

Lo stesso anno in cui purtroppo è morta! chi erano gli altri interpreti?

[silvr94]

Précieux souvenir de l'une de tant de belles soirées à l'Opernhaus de Züri avec une inoubliable, merveilleuse et absolument magique Lucia!! Grand merci à vous Alexander Pereira de l'avoir fait venir!

[Forellensolo]

Das ist fantastisch. Danke! Gibt es mehr davon?

[Glenmed]

What a treat to have this glimpse of Lucia in, as you say, the final year of her life. It shows that the lovely, agile and distinctive voice was in perfect shape even if all else about the unfortunate lady was failing.

Thanks dialectgirl - und schönen Dank ebenfalls zu Intermezzo89 fürs Hochladen

[dialectgirl]

Wow, thank you for this! Do you have more?

[fairlytaleofnewyork]

Thank you very much for sharing this with me. It is great to find such a rare one, especially thinking that we lost her soon after that...
