[JScorpion11]

David Daniels does this amazingly... she looked as if she was focusing focusing on her technique a lot.... in her earlier days she ooked as if she sang with great ease. still love her though :D

@0o0doir0o0 I heard her do this live in 1999, when she was in the final year of her classical career. She was in amazing voice that night...the voice was effortless. I agree about Daniel's version too...I wonder if he will ever perform the entire role?

I much prefer Podles on this, there is something about Horne's voice that sounds like she has cotton balls in her mouth or something to me.

amo questa Donna,

[hisimperialmajesty]

Even at this point, she was STILL the single best interpreter of Rossini, thanks to an unshakeable technique, combined with what can only be described as a "tank" of a voice. Brava!

[arredifestivi]

amo questa Donna.

[etoiledelkirov]

[agnellodei]

[Cledezma]

Love Marilyn Horne! Hope she's happy!

[andreasscholl]

Again, AMAZING!!!!!!

Those thrills....wooow.

Who can sing this way these days?

Not much...

Hail La Horne.

[bplatt1069]

Thank you, Mr. Scholl. The answer is no one; Ms. Horne's mark is indelible and inimitable. May she remain cancer-free!

[Agorante]

I suppose you are trying to complement Horne by saying that no one "can sing this way these days". But the truth is exactly the opposite. We are in a Golden Age of Rossini mezzos and Horne started it all. Before her there was Supervia and very, very few others.

Just like Callas who sang the Lily Pons repertoire. After her everything changed. Horne helped found modern Bel Canto. Like Caruso helped found Verismo.
