Heard her live a few times, probably one of the most beautiful instruments in the 20th century.. like spun silver live.. recordings don't do her justice...

This is gorgeous and incredible singing of Tosca for a lyric. Brava Kiri!!!!!!!!!
-
WOW! The pianissimi are beat!
-
Absolutely beautiful! Lyrical, dramatic but controlled. This is a sublime performance and a wonderful interpretation. My favourite by a country mile.
-
I readily admit that this aria, mi fa piangere, ogni volta. Ma, Kiri, mi fa
piangere senza sosta. Incredibile!!
Brava!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Kiri.

Fantastic!!!

Hello.
I have a sneaking suspicion that the good
Baron is the Swedish baritone Ingvar Wixell.
It looks like him and he has the same lean
Scandinavian sound.
Hope this helps.

i like kanawa's version of this song more than callas'



I am a Callas fanatic to the bitter end, but Kiri's performances of Vissi D'Arte are beautiful, powerful (sometimes too powerful) but without a doubt on par with Callas...feel the goosebumps!

I don't know why people get so upset when singers step "outside" of their specialty roles and sound good in others. I thought this was wonderful.
