Sensational! One of the greatest performances-period!

Dear Anon.

Imagine her and Melba and Muzio singing today.

We would solve the civilized worlds problems.!

@schlusnus Sorry, but I disagree. She had a nice voice but I wouldn't say a great one and wouldn't have made it musically in the latter part of the 20th century to now.

I can feel this all the way back to my spine. If you listen closely after the aria is finished you can hear the brave men weeping at the overpowering beauty of it. Dear God...

[hobo197]

true!!

[jozefsterkens]

just the music, no sobs, like that.

[hobo197]

but joseph there is such sadness in her voice,destinn was so great at vocal expression and i think it is quite noticeable here.sobs are a cheap add in,if the composer wanted sobs he would have put them in.

[jozefsterkens]

that's what I ment, emotions through the singing of the music as written, no histrionics and cheap tricks. Many bad singers became famous trough them.
