Anyone who has something negative say about Frederica von Stade needs to get their hearing checked.

@Lucy45039 So true.

ma allora perché non lo fanno più cantare Raffanti? Avrebbe veramente potuto diventare uno dei più grandi...

[maxbruschi]

Tra Merrit e l'allora giovane Raffanti c'è però un vero abisso. Raffanti aveva una voce e uno stile meravigliosi. Aveva...

Concordo pienamente ! Posso però garantire che Dano Raffanti possiede tutt'ora, 2009, una voce bellissima e fuori dal comune !

Rocky is the best... but Von Stade have many problems with Elena (I think she sound like a little cat). The Rossini's style of Rocky is immeasurable then Von Stade and Raffanti, who sing well, but it isn't my favorite Donna del Lago. I prefer at all Paris 1986 with Blake, Merritt, Cuberli, Valentini Terrani. Amazing!

Well sung, but not even close to the Pollini recording with Ricciarelli, Gonzalez and Raffanti from '92. In that recording the terzetto is like an actual swordfight.

Thanks for this video LindoroRossini this piece is one of the best things of rossini but I prefer this song singing for Merrit Blake ande Anderson

[antitenor]

Is this from Houston?

[LindoroRossini]

Yes, it is :)!

[antitenor]

Thanks. Because I have seen one of the performance and it did not sound as good as here

Wonderful piece.... I have it with Gasdia & Florez. To be quite honest I was never too impressed with her. Von Stade does a much better job here... but I think that Rodrigo is pushing it a bit too far. Still, a very nice piece :)
