[uniqueattack]

Always amazing!  Hey, is Horne's version on here too?

[geomusic]

It's a credit to Caballe's amazing technique and breath control that she could even begin to keep up with that ridiculously fast tempo. Someone should have strangled the conductor. He was obviously not a singer. We need a moment to catch a breath. I'm not usually so negative, but she deserved better than that.

[tuadolcefanciulla]

I actually like the tempo. I think the conductor knew he had the priviledge of

working with a "Turbo Jet muscle car"

and he just opened it up and took off.

I'm sure sweet Monserrat would have

discussed it with the conductor if she were unhappy with the tempo. She was

SO PERFECT. I LOVE this particular

performance.

[tuadolcefanciulla]

[sam0xin]

I Love this WOMAN! The Best Soprano ever! The best pianos,the best fortees,the best crescendos and diminuendos ever,beautiful,rare,pure and unique voice..& so Talented.. Real Bell Canto !God Bless Montserrat!

[tuadolcefanciulla]

I liked her, but I was watching operas with the young and beautiful Carreras, and she

is 25 older, but adorable even then. Now that I have been listening to her in her younger years I have not enough words to express the extraordinary beauty and qualities - well she's just HEAVEN.

One of the all-time greatest Bel Canto experts, but also with the pipes and breath for the richest & most demanding Verdi and Puccini operas

(and many others of course.) God blessed Monserrat Caballe & we

benefit..

[sam0xin]

God bless you ! Your mind perfectly focused on Divine...! I just fill sorry for some "audience"...VERY DEEPLY ! they are seems to me "blind..."

[tuadolcefanciulla]

That is poetry you just wrote. I wonder if

it was intentional. It actually reads with

a true poetic cadence and rhyme.

THANK YOU!!

[sam0xin]

I just realised...!( wow ! ) I'm Not a poet... I think that's Caballe's " fault "...SHE makes me poet...Thanks !

Her version of this aria, now released on the double-CD "Rarities" is the first rendition I ever heard and is still burned into my brain. I think that version dates to 1967.

[poplins]

hermoso

[63Attila]

Magnificent. If possible also listen to her 1968 live version. It rocks.

[Angelvddt]

I love this Caballé's performance of this aria. She is enthralling!The best Spanish soprano so far.

[rossini1964]

strepitosa

[meltzerboy]

Caballe is superb in Rossini's music, comparable to Horne in vocal splendor and bel canto technique.

[Orfeus80]

I love this recital! Caballe in her best Rossini role.
