Aprile Millo sings Rossini William Tell ending with High E

[newhere66]

all these negative comments c-c-c- throw your pcs through da window;

knowing not a thing about vocalismus , and ranges, under-fachs,etc... le merde sono mille, but MILLO E UNA !!! BRAVA !

Great singing by Millo! Pity she and Dessi didn't focus on this repertoire more. They both moved on to the heavy dramatic parts too soon. Millo should be proud though, hehe. Callas fans here say she was better than Tebaldi, Tebaldi fans say she was better than Callas. Listen to her wonderful Pirata, Leonora, Aida, all far superior to Callas' uneven singing.

@caleche You need to hear this singer in the theater. You spout the same dribble that Joost Van Berge says, when she refused to go to his amateur parties. You can hear this voice in every section of the arena. I heard over thirty performances there and this is a true lirico spinto with a fabulous agility when needed. Millo is Millo without apology. Tebaldi was amazing. BOTH are gifts from God. God bless the fabulous Aprile Millo

@enriquecross267 hello ms millo! someone close to you told me this is one of your many internet identities. apparently anything less than unqualified praise is "dribble" to you. i regret that all i hear is unsupported sound and bad placement. sorry! my amateur parties have been graced by some of your colleagues from the metropolitan opera, as well as great artists from the broadway and concert stages. but maybe even they are not on your (self) exalted level.....

@dutchbaritone08 Mr. Berge, I respond myself to those who have their own opinions.

You are free to say what you wish. Both Randy and I were sorry to miss your, as you call them, "amateur parties" I personally think they are wonderful and filled with fans that love music. My thanks for Mr. Cross, to whom I am grateful for his support of me. throw parties and love music and stop hating so much. Music is so very special... isn't that enough?

[dutchbaritone08]

@A7sogno you tell me i'm free to "say what i wish" and then accuse me of "hating"! i should know better than to respond to these internet attacks by mr cross and you.

but at least we agree that music is something that makes life wonderful, and should not be cheapened by these silly arguments. all the best to you, ms millo.

Her voice has it all and takes no back seat to any of the golden age Spinto Soprano's. When I heard her in house I was not disappointed as with so many other voices who sound better in studio than house live. Her voice is like the Italian sound from the greatest ones from years ago.

[kgarmaker123]

There is so much drama in this voice.. Man .. I have always loved this woman and still do.. Brava Aprile!

[LohengrinT]

@kgarmaker123

-Brilliant Eb6

-Extremely italian singing with sweet approach to the coloratura passages and homogeinity of timbre

- I think she had added the famous Eb6 in the trioumph scene of one of her Aidas

I ve always thought of Millo like a Tebaldi with agility, tonal accuracy, really good technique and top notes.

[kgarmaker123]

@LohengrinT People compare her to Tebaldi ( as her "successor" .. well I consider her , her "superior" as she is just fabulous ... her voice developed the way it should have , for its type.. Tebaldi on a good day could never equal this And she has added the EFlat, in the Triumphal scene. Her Trovatore,( studio recording) is sooooo good.. I treasure mine.. Not since Callas have I heard Leonora interpreted with such vocalism, and drama.

[ian1856]

@kgarmaker123 Amen! Tebaldi WISHED she could sing like this!

[caleche78]

@ian1856 Thanks God Tebaldi had no Lily Pons notes like Aprile Millo If Tebaldi wished she could sing like this, she wouldn't have been the glorious singer Tebaldi was. Maddalena Di Coigny, Leonora, Aida, have NO E , no Eflat, no D.

[ian1856]

@caleche78 Yeah, no kidding. I was responding to another comment. I should have known some Tebaldi fan would get his knickers in a twist. Relax. I know Tebaldi was brilliant in her own way, and I don't make a habit of comparing her to anyone else.

[caleche78]

@kgarmaker123 Drammatico soprano or spinto soprano has no E, nor Eflat, and no D. Aprile Millo natural voice is a lyrical coloratura, she covered her middle to seem a spinto but her top is lyrical coloratura at core

[caleche78]

@LohengrinT Drammatico soprano or spinto soprano has no E, nor Eflat, and no D. Aprile Millo top is lyrical-coloratura at core

[tenorman123]

Millo is Fantastic!!! I don't have the words to say how fantastically amazing her singing is here.

[DrFernandoBicudo]

Fantastic Aprile Millo, my favorite singer today!!! Brava!!!!

[GylchrisSprauve]

Amazing...a true risk-taker...I love the dramatic intensity and the full-throated coloratura. I wasn't expecting a High-E and the end, but she brought it!!! Good stuff! Thanks for posting!

[coryisawake]

Wild!

[EnriqueCross]

wow.

[doiodos]

Aprile ti amo.

[sutherland9]

I love this - the beautiful tone, the agility, and the dramatic overtones. Thanks for posting!
