Right or wrong?! I like both versions! The older by the great Victoria de los Angeles and the younger one by Elina Garanca! That gladly shows me that good singing is still possible! Thank you both Victoria and Elina! :D
Não é a primeira vez que ouço de los Angeles na Bachiana nº 5. Desde que dirigida por Villa Lobos e considerando o talento deste soprano, o registro da obra continua perfeito, continuando a tradição partir da Bidu.
im my amateur and humble opinion this is one of the finest voices known, I use the present tense because she lives for as long as this recording lives - immortality perhaps? Add to that the haunting music and its a recipe that cant really be exceeded. There simply is no finer performance of this piece, never has been, never will be.and thats a fact - touches the parts that only the likes of Callas et al can
elle a une voix merveilleuse, et je pense qu'elle traduit la pensée du compositeur,
n'oublions pas que ce sont de vieux enregistrements, imaginez avec la technique d'aujourd'hui, elle a une voix plus modulée que Bidu Sayao et plus puissante encore.
Luciane, talvez a palavra que possa melhor expressar o poder dessa música é: eternidade! Tudo se torna belo quando a ouvimos. Tudo se torna triste quando a ouvimos. Tudo se torna eterno quando a ouvimos!
This is definitely the recording I love the most, of this wonderful piece. Somehow I love the part with no lyrics better than the rest... What a marvellous voice VdlA had! Thank you for sharing!
Nunca olvidaré cunado te vi en tu cámara ardiente en Barcelona. Ahí estraban entre otros Plácido Domingo y José carreras. Que gran voz!!!! Y dirigida por el propio Villalobos!!!! que orgullo y que honor. Brava!!!! Sempre Bravissima Victoria.
this woman though-absolutely superb-[even though they took it a bit fast]
- De Los Angeles is heaven- Her signature tonality, sonority-stradivarius with the crushed gems in the shellach-...I didn't know she had done the No. 5 . Thank you for posting this monumental gift.
@WynneAlexander it was Villalobos who was conducting ..so it was no more or less .. it was just what he meant to be ..
Baroque music never was slower than this and that s exactly what the composer was looking at when he made it .. but I don't want to sound like a heavy jerk to you .. I understand what you said two months ago about the tempo .. it does sounds faster than we are use to but still beautiful as it can be ... really beautiful .
Such was the depth of her compassion that when she learned of the death of Callas, by phone, she burst into hysterical sobs and took quite some time to regain herself. They worshiped each other, and with good reason—two great artists cut from the same cloth.
Divine Victoria, one of the most beautiful souls Our Creator ever put on this blessed earth. Everything is there—passion, heart, body and soul, with a sweetness that makes the tears run easily . . . the song of a forsaken woman, brought to artistic perfection by someone, who, just like Maria Callas, had no peer. A pppp B flat that is less of a note and more of a sigh of resignation. Simply beautiful.
@Operanut9 Haha. Well, why not? Victoria and Callas were very, very good friends. But, different artists with different approaches. Go listen to Callas' "Caro nome" from Mexico City, 1951, if you want ethereal. They were put here for different reasons.
Is this the recording with Leopold Stokowski conducting?
Could you please put more bass line in here?
Thank you for trying to post that which is so elusive and evasive and that is one of the most ethereal interpretations of this wonderful song EVER recorded!
!Absolutamente fascinante!! La bachiana brasileira de Heitor Villa-lobos es de una belleza insólita. Deslumbra su honda alegría y sutileza. Victoria de los Ángeles magistral. Jamás la oí así. Gracias por este doble placer. María del Amor
I almost agree with you since I love Victoria de los Angeles' singing of everything she performs. But Bidu Sayao, for whom the piece was written, does a marvelous job and hers is my favorite performance. Also, Anna Moffo's recording is excellent.
Victoria de los Angeles had one of the most exquisite, hauntingly beautiful voices of all time; it's a sound that I can instantly recreate in my mind's ear. In the right repertoire, such as this marvelous piece, she was unequaled; she is still my favorite Butterfly, Massenet Manon, Suor Angelica, and exponent of French Chansons and Spanish songs. Her VIDA BREVE is spectacular too.
Well it´s Vitoria! Everything she care to sing came out sublime...Certainly Maestro Villa-Lobos was deeply moved for playing togheter w Vitoria (the backing cellos are beautiful here!)
Indiscutiblemente magnífica. De las tantas versiones grabadas de esta pieza, sólo dos alcanzan este nivel de perfección: Bidú Sayão y la exquisita Victoria de los Angeles.
Je venais de l'écouter hier d'après mon CD ce dont je ne me lasse pas. Grande Voctoria de los Angeles! Mais les autres choros pour orchestre sont splendides aussi et à écouter avec autant d'intérêt...

Evening, a rosy, slow and transparent cloud
Over the space dreamy and beautiful
The Moon sweetly appears in the horizon,
Decorating the afternoon like a nice damsel
Who rushes and dreamy adorns herself
With an anxious soul to become beautiful
Shout all Nature to the Sky and to the Earth!
All birds become silent to the Moon's complains

Cala a passarada aos seus tristes queixumes

Tarde uma nuvem rósea lenta e transparente.
Sobre o espaço, sonhadora e bela!
Surge no infinito a lua docemente,
Enfeitando a tarde, qual meiga donzela
Que se apresta e a linda sonhadoramente,
Em anseios d'alma para ficar bela
Grita ao céu e a terra toda a Natureza!
