Renata Scotto as Abigaille

Ben io t'invenni... Anchio dischiuso.
IMHO the best version after my favourite polish soprano's version.

Where's the cabaletta? It's like being at the fairground without going on the rollercoaster.

I couldn't make a video longer than 10 minutes. I've put the cabaletta in the other video which now is attached as a video response.

Anchio dischiuso was beautifully song... Ben io t'invenni- wow, that was insane singing. I've never heard anyone bite those words down as she does here. Totally abusive and damaging to her voice, but absolutely thrilling.

[woytynowska]

she has never performed it live... but it's only recording of Nabucco that I can listen to. She is soooo wonderful here. in those days I listen to the recording over and over again and every time I'm just impressed. I agree anyway it's not exactly for her voice type...

[woytynowska]

I don't meant tha you have to respect her as an artist because it's your personal opinion (which, anyway, you could express differently) .

No matter you like her singing or not, I think insulting someone as a human being just because you don't respect what he or she is doing for their job, is simply not appropriate.

[woytynowska]

I think You could be more respectful and polite expressing your opinion on person who really did a lot of work, no matter you like it or not. Everybody has right for expressing their opinions it's true but please don't insult anyone like that....

ai puristi che parlano di voce troppo"leggéra" per il ruolo, io dico che questo è un MODELLO di come si canta- tecnica stupenda e nobile, elegante fraseggio- brava Renata-

@lamusicahera You're right on the mark in assessing the strength and weakness Scotto.

[lantis323f]

La Scotto è l'esempio di come si distrugga una voce!

[BravoLucero]

too many queens on this site trashing great singers and great singing. Could any of you opera singer wanna be's do better??

[kgarmaker123]

This has its moments.. but the second part of this( the aria) should be sung sweetly, without acid or forcing.. and she has both in her voice... I love Scotto in the right stuff.. this is not it! The High c at the end is kinda nice.. though.

[kgarmaker123]

@Momopera This is not for Scotto's voice which was lovely and lyrical once upon a time.. This stuff put a wobble in it.

[sonqualnave]

I really dont see what is the problem with Scotto's rendition of this aria... For me it's on of the best sung that i heard!

[bodiloto]

voce fuori repertorio .

[MarioLubenov]

Are you serious ? Enfin, chacun est libre de penser ce qu'il veut...

[mannail888]

The most hideous singing of Abigaille imaginable: Verdi'd definitely rot in his grave. The original powers that be that green-lighted Scotto as Abigaille, EMI and Muti, should all be burnt in hell.
