She approaches the truth in this rendition of Voi. But still more i think can be done in her submission to this role/character. It is hard not to get too emotional without losing technique, for the sake of technique, this keeps and holds her back just a tad. I want to her get lost in the role more in order for her to feel it more so i can hear it in her singing.
@adolfoa1961 I am of course aware of that studio recording (have owned it for nearly 50 years). Still, the super-charged atmosphere of a live performance with Franco Corelli would have been hair-raising!
To sfisher71: If it takes you almost one minute to tell Mascagni from Mozart I think we are undone! Apart from that, the arietta from the Nozze is Voi CHE sapete and not CHI. So (no offense), I think you'd do better to brush up your Italian, besides putting your tuning fork at work. By the way, I prefer Cavalleria to the Nozze, but that's a matter of taste.
Very generous reply to someone who at least is interested enough in opera to be checking it out. If your attitude were extended to all opera lovers, we would ALL be undone! A little humility would not go amiss.
I listened to the first 30-45 seconds of this and kept thinking, "Dang, this sure doesn't SOUND like Mozart--" and then I realized it's Voi LO Sapete, not Voi CHI Sapete.
There are vocal mannerisms within this performance that harkens back to days of old. What a great model for any singer to follow. It makes me think of when Tebaldi was asked how you can sing like this. How? Her simple and humble answer was given with a polite, sincere and secure smile. She said its a gift from God. How correct she was. Its beyond understanding. I MUST purchase this DvD!!! Kind regards,
Ahhhhh!!! How right you are ElliePearl. The GREAT maestra Tebaldi is missed. She certainly was a goddess Ellie. I just love her completely. If I could go back in time it would be to her performance of Butterfly. Ti amo Renata, per sempre!!!
I agree, Renata was always beautiful and refined, charming, the '58 Napoli Forza duet with Corelli shows how beautiful she was and the '62 Berlino Otello she was very beautiful but you don't know how beautiful she was by the time she stopped singing, in late '70s , 1978/79 she was bellìsima, more beautiful than ever
Reina Absoluta !!! La mejor cantante de su tiempo. La reina del canto puro italiano de los años 50. Renata cantó Aida, Tosca, Leonora, Andrea Chenier, etc y cantó 35 años con la voz sana. Eso es una cantante !!!
My voice teacher saw her often on stage in Europe and said that some nights she had pitch problems but when she was in good shape, she was just La Divina, an unforgettable voice.
Tebaldi sings here A natural as easy as if she were speaking of weather, as she always hits the high notes.The high note is perfectly placed on pitch.nichtsleezy is a Price and Callas fan who is out of his mind, he is very bitter in bad spirit
I think it would be fine for Price fans that Leontyne recordings were released often, Price is quite forgotten and she does not deserv it.Many Tebaldi filmed perf are released on DVD for several labels and hundred of Tebaldi CDs releases.They should do the same with Price
Tebaldi always sings great, but here she shows she also must have had superb stage presence as well. Shelooks quite elegant - such skin!
And why do her detractors keep saying she couldn't act? Her facial expressions are fine. It is better to underact a bit than to overact like Callas would at times.
Tebaldi is very much at home in this music. I own this video, and it is my favorite performance of this aria. The notes in the upper middle have a sublime quality that no one can duplicate.
