Lux Eternam

[Diazra]

She truly acts the role of a troubled mother! And the voice so smooth, so smooth.

One thing though, the music's a bit fast, isn't it? Interesting interpretation.

Giulietta ci manchi !! 

[RufficsMalenkij]

Rest In Peace mia cara Giulietta Simionato!

[znbr1]

Giulietta has passed away at almost 100. I will never forget her.RIP.

[palmolella]

Cara Giulietta Simionato, ti ricorderemo con affetto. Ora ritroverai la tua amica Maria Callas e tornerete a cantare insieme.

[lepamplemousse]

saisissant...

[oldwaysmusic]

rest in peace giulietta!

[dan1132b]

RIP, Simionato.

[Operamagnifico]

Giulietta Simionato was an extraordinary mezzo-soprano able to move from Mozart to Verdi and be equally spectacular in both repetoires. This role, along with Amneris, is one of the greatest in the dramatic mezzo repetoire and Mme. Simionato excelled in both. Bravo!

[carlogic1953]

Una delle grandi del '900, senza dubbio. Però a mio giudizio la generazione seguente ha prodotto un altro mezzo ancora più grande, per le doti sceniche e forse anche per la carica e il colore drammatico della voce. Parlo di Fiorenza Cossotto. Peccato che avendo cominciato giovanissima la sua voce si sia irrimediabilmente usurata poco dopo i 50 anni, sebbene lei abbia voluto insistere a calcare le scene, invece di dedicarsi solamente all'insegnamento.

[GOTICO671]

@carlogic1953 brava interprete la Cossotto ma non un vero mezzo piuttosto un soprano corto con note di petto costruite la Simionato invece stupendo contralto acuto

[frankie17984]

intensa, voce corposa... non ce ne sono altre così!

[luigipavabartolotti]

concordo,anche se il trillo non è dei migliori. Lei è fantastica

[raigekimaru]

she's 98?! I guess the part suits her well then.

[Kievest]

Simionato's Azucena is intense, brilliantly

expressive and has gravitas...but she is

not a wild eye gypsy casting evil spells

with a glance. She is genuine, believable,

and smouldering. The warm sonority

of that luscious voice sends shock waves

through the soul. Thank you for this

priceless treasure...an iconic masterpiece!

[cantante189]

This is vocal gold. Do you have the rest? I would love to see more of Corelli in this production. Who was the baritone and soprano?

[iduefoscari]

This is a Covent Garden production from 1964 With Bruno Prevedi as Manrico one of a dozen tenors from the time who would be an absolute star today.Gwyneth Jones as leonora who would become a great Brunnhilde and Peter Gloosop as the Count di Luna who sadly died a few days ago and in one of the excerpts you can see me in the audience as an 18year old teenager.This was an age of great singing.Maria Callas one night,Carlo Bergonzi the next, Franco Corelli etc etc etc.We were spoilt!

[corellithebest]

@iduefoscari Yes, I am too of the opinion that Prevedi would be an absoluite star today, but he was sadly, shamefully undervalued in his time. And of course, Simionato is GLORIOUS! And also, it turns out that Jones is the only one among the cast who is still with us. :(

[ombreross]

Greatest mezzo ever heard and, at 98, still a wanderful lady.

Brava Giulietta!

[jdperez1974]

La mejor, fría, interna y grandiosa

[1traviata]

The best. Just...wow.

Lauris Elms is my second favorite in this role..

[jacquesurlus]

Que du chant, du beau chant digne de Verdi,

Brava. Mais il faut aussi avoir entendu

Irene Minghini Cattaneo avec Pertile, Ahurissant!

[tetrazzini]

@jacquesurlus Oh oui ! Je partage votre avis, l'interpretation et la voix de Irene Minghini Cattaneo sont saisissantes, flamboyantes (c'est le cas de le dire...). Il y a une telle passion dans son chant.

[WoDeGe]

The Greatest Italian mezzo-soprano of all times. Many thanks for post... kindest regards,
