It's just INCREDIBLE! OMG! As I've already stated under another excerpt, Marisa is hardly known in Europe, what a ridiculous, non-sense shame (like many other artists, probably.) She's a thrilling drammatico-coloratura of the 1st rank. Bless Her.
@GoldenAgeSunshine Thank you for your sentiments, which parallel mine exactly. In the last paragraph of my Galvany commentary there's a list of operas in which she appeared. I have copies of all of these and hope to post more excerpts in the future. Additionally, there are perhaps 10 recital recordings, virtually all from reel-to-reel tapes.
no, she is a soprano sfogato: an extremely dark, dramatic soprano voice that can cross over into the mezzo repertory but also possessing incredible agility and an extended. a dramatic coloratura would be like Joan Sutherland or Edda Moser. the color is brighter, the agility greater and the high notes easier.
PS: you're right tho, the fact that woman isn't more famous is whack =)
hehe...this made me smile. What an amazing, totally underrated singer. Had she been on the scene in her prime today, things might have been different. When you're a contemporary of singers like Sutherland, Sills, & Caballe, there's really no way to get noticed. The pool was MUCH more crowded then. That final E flat is UNBELIEVABLY good; one of the best I EVER heard.
What a shame for our time that such an INCREDIBLE singer had to sing this just with a piano !!! Her talend put her out of circuit. The opera mafia is a shame. She, Gencer and Negri had been the most neglected huge talents of your time.
she SCREAMED those high Ebs! her power and temperament remind me of edda moser

An exciting singer. You can also hear her on a Gala label "Anna Bolena" that has the complete opera and excerpts from 2 other performances.
She sings w/ Olive Stapp and Samuel Ramey.
