Marilyn Horne as Vivaldi's Orlando Furioso 1978

[mozart200657]

Always incredible. Forever Marilyn!

No wonder Stravinsky picked Marilyn Horne as his Jocasta.

[Ivanbelastegui]

This performance is amazing. Her stage presence is very impresive,and her voice absolutely great. Thanks for posting

[cristetoile11]

Cette femme est incroyable!

[Vanchy58]

Marilyn Horne es admirable en este repertorio barroco destinado especialmente para los llamados "castrati" y los contratenores masculinos.

[asterissima]

She is genial: her voice, technic, temperament!OMG!!!!

[Abdlonimo]

too fast played from string ensemble, and, due to this fastness, too fast singed by singer. The right "tempo" was given by I SOLISTI VENETI conducted by Claudio Scimone, you can search and buy and hear this CD and you will see the clear difference

[harmoniamusicae]

@Abdlonimo dear, but the orchestra in this live performance in Verona WAS the solisti veneti, conducted by C.S. :-) ... guaranteed: I was there!!! ehehehehe

[harmoniamusicae]

@Abdlonimo ... plus: do you really think that in a production mounted expressely for her, moving arias and changing the order of the scenes, Horne would have let the orchestra play too fast for her???? You must be very naif, indeed! :-)

I've never heard someone sing this aria like this.

Absolutely perfect.

[immortellino]

The greatest singer in the World!!!

please, if somebody knows where to find some score of Orlando Furioso, let me know.

[immortellino]

BRAVISSIMA, MAESTRA!!! You are the best of the best!

if somebody knows how to find notes and scores of opera Orlando Furioso, please let me know.

[vivomusique]

Notice the statue between 1:28-1:48? If it could speak...it would say, while pointing to her: "Ya'll hear this?!Now THAT'S great singing...shut up and listen...mmmhhhmm!!!" ;-) Brava Maestra!!

[Rauchardo]

Beautiful! Fantastic! Do you have "Nel profondo" as well of this production? I wasn't born to see it.

[ChuckNYC71]
