Marvellous singing from Malfitano - so different from the 1990s voice I heard in Salome, Eugene Onegin and others

Who is Chavez?

[tenore23]

@FrankJared Hugo Chavez, the Venezuelan dictator

[SiEtIn1]

tenore i am a total Chavez hater, but i think in the 80´s nobody even knew who Chavez was, how could he have controlled this? Anyway I loved this performance, we miss this kind of singing

[tenore23]

@SiEtIn1 You are not getting it. Chavez is in control NOW and he controls the TV stations NOW yet stuff like this continues to leak out

Malfitano during her earlier lyric coloratura days. Gorgeous! Effortless vocal emission.

[trailblazingdiva]

Such a shame people most singers can't sing this way anymore. So fresh, healthy and beautiful!

[LittleMagic717]

Whoa! This is stunning. Which year was this??

[tenore23]

I am not sure exactly, but I think it is from the 80's. Those who only know Malfitano for her Tosca and all the heavy singing need to look at the early stuff, it is amazing, i would start with her Servilia in the Ponelle Tito.

May be, you want wrote  " Malfitano", but not "Malfinato"?

[Gbrunet25]

Wow, this is great, too bad she moved into heavier roles too fast, her voice shines here specially when she goes up, these were the roles for her type of voice.

[cantanteporsiempre]

But her Salome is fantastic

[Gbrunet25]

Tell me about it, specially the one from Berlin.
