Anna Moffo - "Qui la voce sua soave...Vien, diletto"

[javierlopeza]

By far... the best, unparalleled version! Still unmatched, for many years to come!

[sttar1982]

shes beautiful

[rosuav]

Beautiful! And a clear reference back from Mad Margaret from Ruddigore (and thanks to Libby Moyer of Savoynet for pointing this out). It's obvious once you hear it! Lovely rendition too.

[kasha1932]

Words are simply not adequate to describe how this voice affects me. I expect HEAVEN to sound like this!!! ANNA.....YOU ARE SIMPLY THE MOST DIVINE !!

[kasha1932]

I just cant help myself from commenting on my favorite of all time ,ANNA MOFFO! I wonder whether listeners realize that ANNA was quite an intellectual...she had a marvelous brain and actually STUDIED a lot...studied her music, the piano, the viola and I believe five languages. Her interview in GERMAN shows that high intelligence as well as her marvelous quality of warmth of character. I read she was a great cook too! YES! She had it all! BRAVISSSSSSIMAAAAA, ANNA!

[Tenorbravo]

What a stunning she was...love her technique. She takes the right time to do what ever she is singing. No rush...that is the beauty of this wonderful prima donna. Thank you for sharig this video clip.One of a kind! she really is one of the greatest!! sHe has it all:

talent,beauty, voice, and a wonderful actress! Born to sing anything.

[1717PRO]

That is a beautiful e flat

[jocmuc1]

[etoiledelkirov]

beatiful

[mmisaku]

you are so right she had it all! i adore her voice and interpreations

[patjan92]

@mmisaku You are absolutely right. She becomes Elvira as so few bother to do.

[anselmonadir]

@suncollection .. i think it same... ,here . she had it all !

[ninawally]

One of the best interpretation that I've heard. The beauty here is complete!!!!

[andreea94a]

Love her,,,,PERFECT

[Zyghnwyr]

I have heard many versions of this aria, and Anna Moffo's ranks highly among them. She does so much with the music, as well as maintaining that entirely characteristic beauty of tone which was her special gift. Reading the comments of others I see that she remains much loved.

[lalabadee]

Did you sombody hear that spectacular finish?

[bodiloto]

che bellezza infinita !grazie!

[woodteatable]

This is definitely the best rendition on youtube so far, so touching

[MastersoftheOpera]

Wow! That was beautiful. Anna Moffo has impressed me many times. Her best years were in the 60's and early 70's. Many of her recordings are amazing. I love her Lucia & her Puritani is glorious as well, as proven by this aria. She has a golden, rich voice and perfect lyric technique for bel canto. Brava Moffo

[thomastmwc]

beautiful

[calafsdream]

so often Moffo's vocal performances are perfect, or as close to it as humanly possible... more so than virtually any other singer imho

[angel0exterminador]

Well, besides of course the beauty and perfection of the rest, THAT IS some attack of a high E flat...WOW!!!!!!

[aljazeerkazan]

I have never been to much of a Callas fan. I respect her, and she had a good voice. What made Callas amazing was her acting...her stage presence. She never quite had the fluidity that Moffo had, and she had to work harder for her higher registers due to the weight loss that she experienced and the stress she undertook. I think Callas did great at this aria, but I personally believe that Moffo is the better of the two. But, here is to two great Soprano's.

[leoniemikele]

@aljazeerkazan  I so agree with you. Anna Moffo was appreciated, but maybe she hasn't been appreciated as much as she deserves.

[andreacarvalhostark]

Incridible...

[euartistagency]

Santa Dios.Che voce .Solo Bellini composed something nice .

[gillybin]

WONDERFUL!!!!! Viva la Diva

[linguistmuz]

Wow! Such a great performance!

[FeDuS27]

o.O

[Iareto]

This is one of my favorite recordings of the aria. Something about Moffo's glimmery, full tone just makes me think of Elvira.

[Glenmed]

This is a G-R-E-A-T upload. A superb bel canto aria sung soooooooo beautifully by an absolutely stunning woman.

[anselmonadir]

@Glenmed ... i just listen this , this is GREAT , and first thing to come my mind......

Glenmed must hear this one ! ;))

[patjan92]

Exquisite.

[mrrk]

Just magic.
