Renata Scotto - Mimi's Death - La Boheme - 2010 !!!

[Richiesutherland]

Although I am by no means a Scotto fan, I find this just wonderful and moving, (and still a lovely tone on those middle Abs!), always her eye on the drama and the mood. I often disagreed with her choices, but there is no-one on the stage today who THINKS about these roles like this. Brava!

why do people here use this one of kind moment on tv to discuss and b*tch about other singers? Here the great Scotto discusses Puccini's magic AND recreates it in a wonderfly moving and intimite way!!!

amazing

HOLY SHIOT that is a CLEAN TONE. You never hear that production in opera anymore.

@robertdonkers--I was referring to Angela Gheorghiu ("her") and not Mme. Scotto.

[ploplisphilin]

I enjoyed her Adriana Lecourvreur, but there was a lot of irony in her singing "Io son L'UMILE ancella." Her claim that she was more well-known than Dame Joan Sutherland indicate either total ignorance of opera history or megalomania. Remember she also remarked when she was fired from Lyric Opera of Chicago, that only then did people realize there was an opera company in Chicago. Again, total ignorance of opera performance history or megalomania. I wish her well, however.

[robertdonkers]

@ploplisphilin Perhaps she was more famous in her home town in Italy haha. Did she really say that, if so how silly. Joan Sutherland is a phenomenon. Her recordings will survice the test of time, whereas Scotto's recordings, not too sure

goosebumps

A fabulous singer - a dedicated interpreter and artiste. These are the words of a YT musician contact, who has worked with her.

[artbowl123]

Just great... Bravissimo both!

[ploplisphilin]

Yet Mme. Gheorghiu felt she had nothing to learn from rehearsals with this true "diva" (the Chicago incident)!

[ezayi]

@ploplisphilin Because she thinks she´s a Diva and she´s damn far away of even pronouncing it right iin her own mouth. She has a nice voice but it´s just that. Nothing spectacular. I would like to know what exactly she did to for Solti and others to help her come into stardom. Who knows??? ... hmmm!

[ricardoluizvaladares]

@ezayi ridiculous and vulgar post. Just a nice voice? hahahahahah... she's much much more then that, a sensitive inteligent complete artist, it's clear, what a shame some people just can't hear it

[ezayi]

Of course, Im talking about Mme. Georghiu... a good singer.... spectacular???... in her dreams!
