Montserrat Caballe "Sposa son disprezzata" Bajazet -Vivaldi

[davehshs]

There's a better-fidelity version of Caballe singing this, also on youtube, that doesn't sound like an ancient, scratchy 78-rpm record.

[lancetop]

This has been on my favorites list for a long time:) I never tire of hearing the Divine Montserrat! a living angel.

[hawaiianguy2991]

I love Caballe but she just doesn't really fit when comes to singing this piece. Her vocals are too strong; Bartoli is the absolute best in this aria.

[luha83fi]

no es la mejor esta es floja,pero hay otra de la caballe que es mejor de esta. la bartoli a mi no me gusta menos en las "arie antiche"

[aniaen]

Agree! She's so good Caballe, but the best in that aria is Cecilia BARTOLI. only with her I'm crying all the time...

[liguten]

@aniaen Après avoir écouté les deux, ma préférence va tout de même à Madame Caballé. Bartoli y est très bien, mais elle n'apporte pas cette fatalité tragique que laisse percevoir Caballe!

[theamazingethann]

thats a beautiful song it crys to a tragic harmony

[30011942]

Mrs Caballe a une voix enchanteresse et une simplicite extreme sans aucun doute

j'ai cependant une legere preference pour la version de Cecilia Bartoli tres proche a mon avis dans l'interpretation mais peut etre plus dense emotionellement . Ce jugement est tout a fait subjectif

Thank you for posting this song with her. What does she say after she and the piano player were interrupted?

Danke für das Hochladen dieses Videos mit M.Caballé.

Was sagt sie, nachdem sie und der Pianist unterbrochen wurden?

[TomyGrant]

I didnt understand what she sang, but sound was very nice...I've got this music from "Sopranos" movie soundtrack in audio cd :)

[RodrigoBeauvoir]

i love |Caballé, but Cecilia is the best singer ever to sing arias like this.

[JalalSela]

IMHO, no one sings this like her, she was just born for this, she has full control over her voice, the pianos and fortes, the vibrato, dynamics, especially crescendos perfect speed, calm (the way it should be), what can I say more... te amo? te adoro? eres perfecta? :-)

Thanks

[leptiricaism]

I prefer Cecilia Bartoli singing this..

[lancetop]

This video is on my favorites list....I can never tire of hearing Cabelle's voice--the voice of an angel. And when the fighter jets go overhead, her charm and wit comes through to delight her small audience!

Divina

[urman2907]

no  me agrado relamente mio oido se acostumbro con la maravillosa voz de bartolli es por eso que esta no me agrada

[BCNRosa]

@urman2907

pues mira q a mi no me gusta la Bartoli pero te doy toda la razón, Esta interpretación de Caballé es floja y parece otra cosa, no Vivaldi. No es tu oído es la realidad. La interpretación de la Bartoli es muchísimo más acertada en todos los aspectos. Saludos.

[lancetop]

This must be from the 1960s, since it's in black and white. (?) Hearing Cabelle sing is always a huge treat:)

[LaDivinaAriell]

I find the tempo to be too slow, however I can understand why she chose it. Her rendition is beautiful, and I love her control. However I just feel that the music would flow better with a faster tempo. :)

[Dainichii]

@LaDivinaAriell: the sheet music says "largo" and that can be interpreted two ways with this (bel canto; the best part is left out of most of these renditions) aria.

I find the slower version more touching, but the faster version is more of a "mad scene" which I also like (and especially like to play/sing).

Inascoltabile

[chor1978]

very funny when she stopped singing by the jet plane. Good expression though.

[olympieta]

It is a love song. She complaints because she has been rejected by her husband and, evidently, she loves him.

[luridi]

Me gusta más la Bartoli, pero esta emociona, emociona.

[30martin082007]

Afortunados los presentes.

[yurib]

This is the really , best version of "Sposa son disprezzata".

Caballé é um figura myito simpática. Maravilhoso como ela conduziu este fato inesperado. rsrrs

[GoBogi]

It's actually one of the worst. I'll suffer through all of Bartoli's glotal attacks and rediculously heavy/overwhelming vibrato over this.

But props to her for at least trying to sing the grace notes.

I hate these slow renditions. They make it sound like a love song. Vivica Genaux is the only person who really does this aria justice, from an HIP perspective.

[tristanchord85]

Did not see that coming!

Los aviones estaban un poco desafinados. :)
