Victoria de los Angeles "V'adoro pupille" Giulio Cesare

[BarrocoeBrahms]

very good performance but a bit out of Early Music Style! Listen Emma Kirkby it´s perheps the best performance! She´s perfect, and gives us total pleasure!

beautifully sung, as usual for Victoria, but was the conductor late to catch his train or something? i dislike this tempo for the A section. The B section is okay, but then it clashes with the overly slow Cesare recitative before the recap. this melody needs time and space to breathe, in my opinion. *shrugs* that's just my opinion, no one has to agree lol.

We mustn't omit Mme Leontyne Price in the 50's in Vienna with Karajan.

Victoria is nearly perfect singing this aria. Beverly Sills sings this aria perfectly.

Inmortal Victoria

Instrumento puro, bellisimo. jamas una soprano ha tenido esta voz .Victoria, el Stradivarius de las voces.

Lucia Popp also sings it unornamented, in German no less!, and her conquest is absolute.

[motardbear15]

She is probably the best , in this aria,after her collegue Monserrat caballé wich is absolutely fantastic ! Two great divas

[BGSourgas]

@motardbear15 absolutely

I have never heard this aria sung at this faster tempo. I actually like it better; it's not so drawn out like other renditions. As usual, Ms. de Los Angeles is a faultless singer. Truly a model of great singing. Brava.

Like hillevifan, I also prefer the faster tempo - done here beautifully by Victoria De Los Angeles. Brava!

Divina

[buddmar]

Exquisitely beautiful. What mere mortal could not be totally enthralled and bewitched by Cleopatra approaching you singing this aria? Gorgeous!!

[hillevifan]

I love the faster tempo a lot!

"...for perfect, really grand tradition, exquisite, almost divine singing, go to Victoria de Los Angeles in 'Baroque and Religious Arias,'" said Robert Levine in the January 1997 issue of Classical Pulse. Here is proof of that statement. Some may prefer the overly ornamented versions (Sills, Caballé), but this performance is perfection itself. No vocal fireworks are needed. Sublime.

@MusicaParola We must never quote Robert Levine in seriousl discussions on singing and Opera. Cordially, Ebony Ivory
