Again, I say BRAVA...to all who love this woman's voice, please also know that she is teaching now, furthering her Marilyn Horne Foundation , and having Master Classes around this country as she battles pancreatitis cancer....is now 76, and thank God , is leaving a WONDERFUL LEGACY for all future music lovers...She is working on trying to bring back THE RECITAL!!!! YEAH! Thanks so much for posting this! I hope you will continue to do so...BRAVA Marilyn Horne! PERFECTION! We are so lucky!
@nclysander I would agree with you, except I would speak of her in the present tense. I've heard her demonstrate in master class and she has plenty of voice left! This recording is from 1988.
Dalila, Amnerisand Acuzena isn't for her really. But in baroque her wonderfully pure and clear voice is towering skyhigh above all others...Ferrier excluded.
Love this song and had lessons to learn to perform it. It is my party piece. Alas I can sing nothing else, but egad I can do this one! I have had people crying and kissing my throat, people I didn't know, and my paying for the meal was refused, in several countries. My spouse hates when I do this. Hee hee! I wish I could have a marvelous voice and really sing. When you learn one piece you are just a trained monkey, not an ARTIST. great posting!!!!!
Marilyn Horne is probably my favorite singer. And the only one whom I have had the pleasure of meeting when she performed in San Francisco, near twenty years now. She was performing Schubert, as best as I can remember. But I was able to go backstage to meet her. I remember giving her a hug. It's one of my fondest memories. God bless her...
her interpretation of this aria is absolutely sublime, epic, her vibrato shakes my being :-) love her

I'm no opera expert but Marilyn's vibrato in this rendition is the best I've hear among by now 30 versions.

@operalover9001 Not likely...she had largely stopped singing by that time...and would not have sounded so fresh as she does here.

I love this interpetation above all her vibrato and the complete control of the voice.

@zgopify Well, there possibly might be some reservation over her Acuzena and Ammeris, but Horne definitely is tailor made for Dalila.

No doubt, after listening all the available recordings, hers is the most superb performance of "Lascia chi´io pianga" ever.
