Aprile Millo - Il Trovatore - Tacea la notte placida

[tenorman123]

The greatest Verdi soprano of the last 50 yrs!!!

[ezayi]

SPECTACULAR!!!

Love her, love her, lover!!!

BRAVISSIMA!!!

[DrFernandoBicudo]

The best "Leonora" of the last 25 years anywhere in the whole world of opera!!!

[sillyboydeux]

A truly, truly truly great singer and performer as well (no small thing nowadays my friends). She just knows how to do it, quite simply, employing the traditions of great singers before her and adding her own touches. And she has an E-flat to boot! No one has anything on this lovely creature! The timbre at times recalls Tebaldi or Milanov, which says a lot too! She and Zaijik eat the scenery. I just wish The Met wasn't such an icky place with so many icky not-convincing-socialites. Feels dead.

Russian and Polish on her moms side, Irish and Italian on dads side.

[JasminaH79]

Che bello!!! Sembra di respirare!!! Finalmente!!!grazie a chi ha postato!

[pearlmuth3]

Thank you and glad to hear Critics don't always rule. Today some people rave about Bocelli and someone named Potts in England. I heard his Nessun Dorma on some TV show and was surprised that they could rave on about his voice, now it also seems looks are so important. Richard Tucker once said to me do the think the clothes will sing? or the sets? Voice is first of course, looks help but without a great voice who cares!

[pearlmuth3]

Just as Warren for me was the greatest verdi baritone, Tucker the Spinto great americn tenor, then Millo is the greatest Spinto American born Soprano, yes for me even over Ponselle for rich beauty of tone the voice is hypnotic and just awesome from bottom to top here.

[MusicaParola]

Bella voce, grandissima artista!

[NotNellie]

She's a grand singer indeed. Its so reassuring to know that the singer has all the notes, a beautifully schooled voice, does not have to fake or avoid anything. And has beautiful tonal quality as well. Re the odd and uneducated comments with regard to Pavarotti reading the score and therefore not being prepared! Silly of course. Many's the time I have had short notice to sing something I have sung many times in the past but don't want to make mistakes so you prop the score up. Big deal.

[benderpm]

Yes, a wonderful Verdian Sorpano!-

[gransasso101]

You are my favorite voice of all time. If Callas was la Divina and Joan la Stupenda, you are la Splendida.

[pearlmuth3]

brava --the greatest spinto in the world and I heard all the greats since 1957 live in the house but she is the greatest.

[GoldenAgeSunshine]

Absolutely splendid in the Golden Age tradition of Arangi-Lombardi and Ponselle! Beautiful,great legato, perfect control of the line, and above all, sublime vocal color. A true Verdian soprano in the grand style.

[Davide500]

Aprile,sei semplicemente perfetta!!! GRANDE!!

[FABRIZIO82]

7:37 minutes of artistic ecstasy. Bravissima,please Maestra,come more often in Europe.

[gransasso101]

the best EVER

[fer1179]
