Magda Olivero "Sola, perduta, abbandonata" 1993

[TheNEWPLANETGROUP]

What PASSION!

[viverito]

I could listen to Magda Olivero sing all day long and never tire of it. A wonderful singing actress.

[violetavalery]

I should watch this video everyday to do away with any kind of fear, depression, sadness. This is the incarnation of passion and life.

[LucaGalloBasso]

Straordinaria!!!! 

[toddydelahov]

BRAVISSIMA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[drowned3134]

E' meraviglioso quando dice "Non voglio morir".

[violetavalery]

this is so inspiring! she has so much life, such a powerful spirit at 83!

[gayoperadude63]

amazing interpretation

[Milylily4Ever]

que mujer!

[PascualG65]

¡¡¡Fabuloso!!! El personaje enfrentando su real situación se posesiona de la cantante que se convierte integramente en el medio para trasmitir la emoción mediante el canto. Magda Olivero ha sido magistral como cantante y como actriz.

[GermanOperaSinger]

A voice can age, but artistry cannot. Magda is 100 today, and she still has it.

[grobprandl73]

come si fa a parlare di tecnica? la olivero è sempre stata una istintiva a cui la natura di istinto gliene ha dato tanto . oltre a una salute di ferro.ma l avete sentita parlare di tecnica vocale? se la conoscesse non direbbe tutte quelle corbellerie

[abracadabranque]

@grobprandl73 Salut,celà nous ramène à nos conversations sur la technique et l'instinct:Seul l'instinct lui permet de produire encore quelques sons sentis.Sa technique approximative est totalement dépassée,seule la volonté de chanter la guide.

Ici,c'est l'instinct qui l'emporte,et la santé bien sûr!

[schaunard1]

@grobprandl73 ...in che senso?

[grobprandl73]

@schaunard1 ascolta le sue lezioni di canto o le sue risposte quando le chiedono cos è la maschera. lei cantava solo con l istinto giusto ma senza alcuna cognizione tecnica.

[MakaBelfagor]

meravigliosa......

[mariasarda]

Extraordinaire technique !!!!!!!

[4everbarbie]

wow !!!!!

[panpypoo]

capperi...che classe....!!

[kimancuo]

Believe it or not, it's the teeth. And I'm not kidding.

[ecopin]

1983? or 1993?. 73 years BRAVO!!!, 83 years BRAVISIMO!!!

[QuiRan82]

WOW!!! Brava, questo e belcanto!!

[vilabreze]

All the sopranos who give up at the age of 50 need to take notice of Magda Olivero and Raina Kabaivanska (she sang this area just recently at tge age of 73). So uplifting and so wonderful!

[ludwiginza]

Pure magic. Brava, Brava!

[Randidan]

Unbelievable! I've always loved her performances but who'd have thought she (or anyone) could do so well at that age???

[LanzaLover2]

WoW! Goosebumps. Tears. She gives more meaning than I've ever heard for this aria. Yes, goosebumps and tears. Wow!

[LanzaLover2]

She is marvelous. At any age, she far passes most all of the current crop.

[piolinve]

increíble, maravillosa voz y que grandiosa actriz ! simplemente maravillosa!

[monteverdi333]

Estoy sin palabras, que bello sonido, que actriz!

[vikoguy37]

BRAVAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!

[PascualG65]

¡Maravillosa Magda! ¿Qué más puedo agregar? ¡Maravillosa!

[tenordramaticitm2]

For her age ....wow , she is awesome!

[gestas60323]

awesome, she is divine !

[wolkowy1]

Brava for this great lady, especially at her age!

[tukilala]

Maravillosa,Grandiosa !!!!!!!

[cvvvvvvvvvvv]

De acuerdo, sigue y sigue siendo una gran cantante de Ópera .

[wljmrbill]

A Blessed Lady who still has a great voice at 83... few can ever achieve this..

[gvdfans]

Bravo!

[ensembleartemis]

Habituellement, je crains beaucoup les "soleils déclinants", mais là, j'avoue, je suis bluffé ! A 80 ans passé, sortir des sons tels que ceux là, c'est absolument incroyable ! Quelle maîtrise !!!

[Desideria7]

Non vale una lira quello che dice la Scotto durante la sua "accademia di perfezionamento" a Roma, ah-ah-ah, che oggi non si puo' piu' cantare cosi', solo cosi' si deve cantare.

[lamadonnadegliangeli]

La Scotto può dire quello che vuole. Ai suoi tempi avrebbe venduto la madre pur di cantare Manon come l'Olivero.

[Elisabetta611]

A living legend! The Queen of Verismo!!!

[halpa8]

"Aged 83!!," .... Just stunning. Breathtaking!

[mariasarda]

Son timbre est encore là ! Bon sang, je n'arrive pas à sortir de tels aigus à 32 ans !!!!!!!!!!!!!

[abracadabranque]

@mariasarda Attends 83 ans ..!

[joanabanyeres]

molti anni ancora .please...

[thepianist87]

lei è una figa.

[GiovanniDiMare]

anche se vecchia all'età di 83 , la voce è conservata perfettamente una cosa da miracolo.

e se l'ascolto non me la tolgo più dalla mente mi possiede con il suo magnetismo. Ha tante cose da dire ancora anche se ha 83 anni, anche se ormai era ritirata.

questi sono i grandi, delle frecce lanciate dal cielo alla terrà.

[Turee85]

non è un miracolo, si chiama tecnica antica italiana ... ovvero BELCANTO!

E come lei ce ne sono state di cantanti che fino a 80 anni cantavano così .... sfoglia la storia del canto italiano e te ne renderai conto ;)

è terribile che oggi non è più così

[KirstyGriffiths]

still such a great voice at her age.... WOW!

[atpa5021]

la Signora e la Callas sono le mie uniche...

[schaunard1]

Sottoscrivo!!

[2296j]

She is the first Tosca I ever heard-- and after innumerable others, still the bery best.

[robertdonkers]

You lucky woman. She is in my top 5 of favourite performance eversince I heard a recording of a concert in Holland given in the 60ties. She was very very popular in the Netherlands. Apparently they did not have the Tebaldi/Callas fued but the Olivero/Callas

[beteltree]

Olivero is divine!

And the description of "Magda Olivero at age 83: 'Sola, perduta, abbandonata'" is a classic. LOL.

[courtneybaritone01]

She sings better at 83 than she did in her prime. What an AMAZING arista. Simply stunning

[robertdonkers]

LOL, that is not true, her best years I thing were from 60ties to late 70ties. Listen to the complete recording of Manon Lescaut recorded in the Netherlands, she is simply outstanding

[Operaddict]

Kinda creepy

[markellagr]

i cried when i listen it you are very lucky that you have such a brilliant teacher its unbelievable that she sings like this in her age i would like so much to teach me

[PascualG65]

¡Creámoslo! Es Magda Olivero por siempre. Para ella so tengo una palabra ¡Maravillosa!

[nclysander]

Lovely - at at this age, truly amazing.

[Elisabetta611]

The Goddess of Verismo! She'll reign forever!

[loetje]

i'm just cryingand laughing ,this woman is so divine, thanks again, onegin!

[zafireh]

she's the only remaining link to the past!!!

[robertdonkers]

Well, Giulieta Simionato is the same age and also still alive!

[violetavalery]

This is truly inspirational. Magda Olivero´s spirit will never age or die!! Thanks for posting this!!

[borlange11]

As always FASCINATING!! Many thanks for posting this.

[schammas82]

this is the most amazing lesson in truth and signing and how they go together exactly when you do it right.

[robertdonkers]

Magda, who can sing this aria more truthfully, emotionally loaded? The complete recording from Amsterdam says it all. In this recording she is still sublime

[MozStraussiano]

Brava !

Brava !!!!!!!!

Unbelievable !!!!!!!!!

[KILLERADVICE]

What a performance !

[viverito]

She make me cry every time

why Magda why you do this to me?

Dimmi dimmi perche?

[merrihew]

Incredible. The minor deterioration of her voice in no way detracts from the power and passion of her singing. I've never heard any female singer over 70 who could sing so well.

[peterdakay]

áél

[19lfm12]

WOW!!!!! Truly amazing & committed to her art. Heck - I know sopranos half her age who can't sing worth a damn.....and get paid anyway:p

[goopera]

Is that the tenor Carlo Ventre in the background?

[222Opera]

wow - she is one of the best, still glorious at this age. I feel this way after youtube deleted my 507 videos without warning.

[redcliffe1968]

In the same year she gave a series of masterclasses in Holland which I went to. She sang this as an example for a student. We were awe struck, it was profound and deeply moving.

[bobopera]

Magda Olivero - the greatest veriso soprano of the last century. She was committed to her art, as this video proves. I heard her in TOSCA (3 productions), FEDORA, and two recitals. She was the most exciting opera

singer in my 50 years of attending performances.

[embenadorfinearts]

What a lesson of art singing ! Thank you for posting such document! She is and become Manon !

[msasta]

Is she still in the home?

[sarado88]

Olivero is fantastic!! Bravaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!

[madcrazymad]

this is true Art!!!!

[iubanne]

Magdaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaa

[tamerlano]

The lower voice is gone...but, the top is in amazing shape...and the STYLE!! BRAVA

[mrrk]

God amazing. I would rush to any theatre to hear here even at that age.

[laurencemalherbe]

Thank you so much... Nothing else to say... just : THANK YOU...

[MusicaParola]

La grandissima Olivero, miracolo della lirica. Una lezione di canto per tutti.

[Andante735]

There isn't a 23 year old singer today that can even touch her. Simply a phenemona.

[darthseus]

Sorprendente no siempre se ve a una mujer de la tercera edad cantar con esa potencia, y con una grandiosa voz.

[VivaMariaCallas]

Quite amazing for a woman of 83 to sing with so much voice, feeling, and energy.
