Because I have broncihitis this Christmas Day, I've spent the day listening to every version of the Rondine aria since I can't make a decent sound even to talk. This is exquisite. Zeani's musical intelligence and taste and voice are on the highest level. I also enjoyed Moffo. Astonishing just how much substandard singing passes for art.
She is soooooo underrated by the recordingcompanys ! Thanks to people with good taste we have a lot of live-performances. So we can onjoy this outstanding artist !
I miss her so. She was teacher, diva, and mother for 3 yrs at IU. I miss Tommy under the piano, and Nicola down the hall. She grew my soul so much greater than I ever dreamed. --Starla
If you wish, I should be pleased to forward to Mme. Zeani your thoughts, regarding your memories of her and Nicola. Please sent these to my Inbox, and I shall forward them for you. If you wish to include contact info., your option.
If not for Youtube I would never have the pleasure of hearing Mme. Zeani. I have discovered 6 sopranos I never knew existed, and I'm 61, and my life has been in music. Mme. Zeani's L'altra notte del mare is posted. A very dramatic, and beautiful performance.
Oui ! Equilibre, beauté, sensibilité ! Une vrai artiste, toujours attente à la qualité et pureté de l'interprétation. Merci beaucoup pour cette vidéo ! *****
Every time I listen to Madam Zeani, whatever the aria, she is always THE BEST. It's not only the flawless technique, but what I would call a sort of orphic presence, an elegiac quality, which is irresistible.
Einfach wundervoll gesungen !!! Danke Virginia --- Danke CharlotteinWeimar.

The recording companies would have loved to record her, it was due to other reasons she hasn't been recorded...

Why ? Its not only Virginea Zeani, but also Magda Olivero, Leyla Gencer: a complete generation of fine sopranos.

I absolutely agree here. A generation that is gross underrated.

The most elegant, intuitive artist, Zeani invariably brings out the best there is... in the role, in the aria, in the opera!
Her interpretive ability is matchless, her voice is incomparable, and her appearance... devastatingly gorgeous!
This tender, sumptuous rendition is heaven!
Brava, lovely Zeani!
