Teresa Berganza en Huesca

Brava! Ma l'acconciatura è terribile

I do not understand why she does not stop singing. Is not she ashamed of the way she sings now, if compared to his brilliant past career? Is it only a matter of money?

A great artist always knows when it is time to stop performing.

I think it is hardly a matter of money. She likes singing. And she is still more impressive and far better than ANY mezzo of these days.

[troppofiato]

Great singers don't always know when to stop (Caballe and Cossotto are two current examples). I think performing is like a drug they can't give up - doing justice to the music falls by the wayside under such compulsion.

Por respeto a lo que esta mujer ha sido y el legado que ha creado, TERESA BERGANZA puede permitirse el lujo de cantar rock@roll sobre un escenario, si le place. Una mujer que ha alcanzado las más altas cotas líricas, conquistando corazones como el mío, no versado en música culta, puede permitirse licencias como ésta. Para mí, única como siempre, majestuosa en su ocaso. Ya lo dijo Casona: "Los árboles siempre mueren de pie" y BERGANZA es un árbol de muy buena madera.

i don't see anything wrong in that excerpt. It's in tune, it's filled with with emotion, there is great control of the voice in which does not go in uncontrollable vibrato like in some old people... the only thing missing is volume, and an ounce of intelligence and respect from you.

Dear Eustazio,

Thank you very for your comment, regardless the insult.

I think the problem is not the volume, but the voice itself. Berganza had one of the finest voices ever heard in the last half century. Today, however, because of her age, she cannot control anymore her intonation and her voice lost the overtones. She still has technique and passion, but this recording just shows an old voice, nowadays flat and uninteresting.

Intelligent&respect for her past career demand her to stop singing.

The one and only. Brava Berganza!
