[berlinman46]

The Great Anna Moffo!!!

[MastersoftheOpera]

I love Anna Moffo. This was gorgeously sung. She has splendid technique. If she played Micaela in Carmen on stage, that must have caused some troulbe - she's as sexy as Carmen herself! I do love this version although I also like Mirella Freni's passionate interpretation.

[TheEmmaDarling]

just perfect and sublime...

[courtsop]

This really very beautiful.. as is she.

[fortunecookiejunkie]

I' ve listened to probably most of the versions of this song on YouTube so far and have come to the conclusion that, even though her consonants are terribly discreet, she is by far the most expressive in her voice.

[suffisance]

Heh--her French is great!!

[musighitta]

a great singer and one of the most beautiful woman of Opera!!!

[attiliobandiera]

Definetly the best Micaela at least on Youtube!

This gorgeous lady was much better known for her beauty than for her art even in her golden years. That's why she's still so underrated.

[ldkjackson]

Moffo's voice rings sublime. Very expressive, with emotion and tone clarity. Her interpretation is almost tangible. I wish I had "it".

[MultiSORDO]

Que bien!

Magnifica

[Angeltots]

does anyone know who sings the best Micaela? opinions are greatly welcomed!!!!!

[ejrouge]

I really believe that Angela Gheorghiu is the best Micaela I've listened to.

[suffisance]

Janine Michaud [sp?] on the old Beecham set??

[Gordrees]

@Angeltots

Anna Moffo and Mirella Freni equal with me

[monpitt500]

@Gordrees Moffo is much better in style and with a smaller voice.

[Tristiano]

Excellent, the diction , the tempi, those B's are done very well with strong support. This aria is an odd one for voices as it sits strangely and the tune often sounds like a lost broken down mosquito...never the less Moffo brings it home.

[InformedListener]

This...is pure gold...tears to my eyes...thank you for posting!

[Oganyan]

sehr gut!!!!!!

[lizmexico]

glorious, glorious voice and such a passion for using and communicating with that voice.  a singer's singer. love this woman.

[vivegedda]

@lizmexico Agree She is absolutely magnificent and we can every word she sings. Glorious French. I am Frenc myself and i hate the the way Italians sing it. Bravo Anna!

[vocalvideos]

Oh my gosh that was amazing! Perfection!!!!

[SzukamPani]

sa 4 wielkoe Boginie Anna jest jedna z nich zawsze bedzie wielka niepowtarzalna

[bwonderlandj]

Amazing :D

[Pyrare1]

Anna Moffo, one of the best MicaelaI's ! STUNNING...

[latraviata1853]

This must be one of her best recordings ever.

[branko1b]

i disagree, thoroughly - not that i think that this is anything but excellent, but most of her other recordings are the best of the kind - her 'vespri', or her 'regnava' as better than Sutherland's (not an easy act to beat) , her 'voi che sapete' is fuller than Von Stade (also not any easy act to beat) ... many others ... ...AND despite Zeffirelli's 'quote' of Callas' bitchy remark, any of hers recordings of Traviata are still to be matched

[AUDIOPHlLE]

The 1960s, the beginning of the end of good opera.

[strauss1987]

I entirely agree. What is there now?

[tushichiao]

Guapa, guapísima, y soprano divina!

[meltzerboy]

That "Biege Album" of arias sung by Moffo in 1961 is indeed a classic (much as is Price's "Blue Album") and is a must for all Moffo fans. The present aria is splendidly sung, without the drooping portamenti of Sutherland or the high-note interpolations of Tetrazzini. In certain respects, Moffo was at her peak here.

[soprano2k]

Flawless on every possible! I am learning this aria and needed a definitive recording. Needless to say, this is it.

Thanks for posting!

[operaticsoul]

I was looking for a great recording of this and now I know what to buy. Thanks!

[mrrk]

What a stunning performance from Moffo.
