ADA SARI: "Lucia di Lammermoor - Alfin son tua"

[gmmix]

Sari caresses each and every musical phrase. She represents bel canto in the truest sense. Thank you for this posting.

Aou should hear her Rosina. In my opinion, she was the best coloratura of all times, her agility, virtuosity...

[MrSkylark1]

The PURITY and SPONTANEITY and BRILLIANCE are all the earmarks of great singing which is unheard of on the operatic stage today.

@MrSkylark1

I do share this opinion; best greetings !

[MrSkylark1]

@MrSkylark1

Thank you very much.

And let me invite you to my video:

" Ada Sari - Mieczysław Karłowicz - Kazimierz Przerwa-Tetmajer " .

Interesting variation on the coloratura treatment beginning around 2:30. What a delight! Many thanks for this vocal treasure, Jerzy.

Jurek, you have created a little sensation with your Rossetti image. I'm leaving tomorrow for London (and Paris) and when I see his paintings in the National Gallery I'll pay a special attention :) Au revoir.

[jurek46pink]

Bon voyage, David !

And many happy returns... in

the memories !

Ada Sari has great ease in scaling, almost effortless and beautifully rounded phrasing. Glorious singing. TY Jurek.

Your opinion is of special value for me, P.

Thanks.

This is special, great thing /1921 ? !/ !

What a label / 4:55/ ! R. Dante Gabriel - The Roseleaf... his " femme fatale" .. Beautiful! Thank you.

[jurek46pink]

1921 is for me still a question.

Nonetheless, this finding - Sari's

recording made still without a micorphone ! - is for me and may

be for us all, when listenning,

a moment of "a higher feeling".

[parlophonman]

I am very, very , pleased !

[jurek46pink]

Then - it is mutual; for the substantial

reason here: the record !

:))

[dzheger]

What a great Lucia! Another unknown (at least to me, the non-expert :) ) but first-class soprano. And I like the Pre-Raphaelite illustration too.

[jurek46pink]

Well... something should be done

with these artists "on this side" to prevent

them from total oblivion and obscurity...-

As for me - the less spoken of, the more

interesting personality is.

And what a nice surprise when she/he

turns out to be - great.

Thanks.

[BernardProfitendieu]

pre-Raphaelite? with an 1870 date?

[jurek46pink]

Yes...

perhaps including the term:

"Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood"

or "Dante Gabriel Rossetti"

into wikipedia - would be helpful.

[BernardProfitendieu]

ah - gotcha!

thanks!
