Montserrat Caballe "Si mi chiamano Mimi" La Boheme

[MadameBorgi]

Fiel al texto y a la trama escénica...un verdadero ejemplo.

[edhaus]

No one does this aria more beautifully. She brings all her talents out, fearless, soaring. Brava!

[meiBraut]

i don´t like it........ i LOVE IT

[johnb340]

Devastatingly beautiful... Perfect... Viva Caballe

[vox0humana]

I feel as if she pulls you into a more beautiful and gentle world at 1:17 - 1:25. Her musicality is astonishing...there's no two ways about it.

[Nungirl238]

Those guys in the balcony seem just devasted by her beautiful voice...I am also! Love it love it love it!

[JURONO71]

If I was the violin player sitting behind her at 1:17 I dont think could have kept it together. I would have ben a blubbering idiot at the sheer beauty of that pianissimo of hers. He looked up though. LOL

[donniedarkoYT]

Il love the expression of her face at 3:18, so genuine.

Why did the director (or cameraman?) decide to show us the ceiling exactly at the climax of the aria??

[hugoforth]

This is the closest someone has come to the absolute best (for me)interpretation that ive heard, she has the same intensity, but not quite the same, what i call light and shade. The recording was a " Puccini Weekend" and the soprano was Maria Chiarra, but this is also very very good.

[musoph21]

i love how she goes crazy in her forte notes...such dramatic intensity.

[anocheciendo]

Hola! saben quienes son los señores (si es que son personajes públicos) que se encuentran enfocados en el primer plano en el segundo 31. gracias.

[olaria08620]

salvando donde se coloca la voz en el minuto veinte segundos (puede ser la grabacion?)me emociona esta version de caballe

[BuergermeisterGTH]

Fantastic, this shoot me Teardrops in my Eyes. No Voice today can compare this.

[4vies]

нет слов!

[muzetta100]

И не говорите....Нет слов и сопран,которых можно поставить рядом.....Музыкальность,кантил­ена....Нет слов!!!!!

[Mropera111]

omg she just tugs at my heart when she sings that pianissimo

[ACCARTS]

Bravo Caballe ..mi caballa!

[JURONO71]

I love to hear her sing La Triviata - Sempre Libera! Her pp is angelic! It is on her 'Ultimate Collection".

[Greatheil]

she's still the only soprano I've heard that pays attention to the pp on the first high note. Even Tebaldi and Callas don't (or can't) bring it back far enough.

[ascooby]

@Greatheil She is the only one I've seen sing it with a score in front of her.

[MorMar001]

@ascooby Seems you haven't seen so many concerts

[ascooby]

@MorMar001 Things aren't always as they seen. Could you refer me to any concerts where they are singing Mimi with the score. I'd be forever grateful! :-)

[MorMar001]

@ascooby Forget me, freak!

[ascooby]

@MorMar001 Apology accepted. 

[MorMar001]

@ascooby Go to hell!

[1977eleonora]

bravissima interprete, io credo la migliore per questa aria

[Mamaistgeil]

SUper geile stimme aber schlechte aufname (ich weis aus dem letzten jahrhundert)

[JURONO71]

The applause says it all!

[Marinausbcn]

Sublime!!!!!! Caballé es poesía.

[SVENSKSOPRAN]

Nothing more perfect!

[1813verdi]

Phantastisch die Phrasierung, kein Bruch in den Übergängen von fortissimo zu piano, brillant die Ausdruckskraft der Partie. Sie ist eine der Größten des letzten Jahrhunderts.

[Piacevole]

The only thing that bugs be with Caballe is that she's intonating too low.. plenty of times.. in general..

[parousia555]

Who cares, it was music like this that was produced during a time a great manifest building blocks of todays society, education, etc....

[parousia555]

She is a master at voice control and phrasing in this aria. She is neck n' neck with Callas

[GermanOperaSinger]

Indeed, she is remarkable. I love how she lifts up her hands every time she sings.

[Clarentia]

i love the fragility of mimi she captured in her voice and phrasing...perfect.

[jasmineblossom84]

I love it, but, why is she using music? I'm SO confused! ahaha.

[gheeah]

so beautiful and enchanting...

[ulyssesargo]

Concordo que é a herdeira vocal de Tebaldi. Nenhuma outra tem as mesmas nuances dramáticas, e Caballé tem melhor ténica e um pouco mais carisma. Mas cantou Mimi como uma personagem épica e não uma romântica de vida desregrada, como pede a personagem. E embromou um pouco o texto a favor da beleza do fraseado. Tudo bem. Todo mundo sabe a letra de cor.

[mwhh2001]

wow just listen to the response she receives at the end... and her facial expression at the end... it just shows her warm and pleasant personality... a true diva indeed!!!!

[CARUSO2]

She is almost as good as Tebaldi, voice a bit heavy,

but otherwise ok.
