Here is a real bel canto singer! Compelling and focused tone, strong technique, flexibility, no hiding behind pianissimi.....she gives it everything! Brava Nelly!
This powerfull scene was slaughtered by the ridiculious slow tempo of the conductor in the last part - she is destroying everything and they play so indifferent. Poor conducting and the orchestra does not have the feeling for this music.. The choir also does not sound very clean.
I often find myself cringing at sopranos but this is so emotional and with such pure tone. Only an older woman who had really experienced pain and regret could sing it well. Going to see Fleming today at Met HD live. What a gift.
Somehow Miricioiu's magic can not be caught on camera or CD. To witness one of her performances live is a once-in-a-lifetime experience. I hardly feel that same excitement when I see her on camera and when I listen to her recordings not at all.
Magnificent. She just sounds like she means what she is singing. And what a voice...such a lovely sound and unique timbre. I don't hear Callas all that much personally. Miricioiu is her own singer, and has already outlived La divina (and is still singing).
È stupefacente la capacità di Nelly per esprimere i contrasti interni del personaggio della maga in questi istanti finali. La ferocità dell'emissione dentro lo stile è una meraviglia in più dell'arte interpretativa della Miricioiu.
This is just incredible! Such timbre, fullness of tone bottom to top! Love the brilliance present in the voice - a Deutekom-esque quality that I love so much! Thanks for posting! Brava Nelly for sure!!!!

I don't hear any Callas in Nelly. I much more hear Deutekom in the timbre and technique.
Love Nelly! She gives me goosebumps here!

@eradesso oopsie I noticed I already said she remind me of Deutekom 2 months ago.... I guess that really proves I do hear some Deutekom in Miricioiu!

she sounds a lot like Callas. I hear it. Maybe that is why I like it so much.

Stunning! And to be honest she reminds me of someone, definitely not Callas: DEUTEKOM!

Now, that's how the evil sorceress Armida should meet her final judgment. Go ahead, Nelly! Great orchestra, too!

I like her fire! Clashguy has a point: many times she has "the Callas sound," when Callas was on top of her game. Nelly has the fire that
distinguished Marisa Galvany, who was a real barn-burner in her palmy days.
