  • Is the sound clip of Devia from her 1981 revival of Lakme at Carnegie Hall?

  • Yes

  • i think callas had very pretty coloratura passages, but her high notes sound really strained, especially the ending one. I thought Devia sounded beautiful though.

  • Callas for sure has the most color to her voice. The top Eb/E is more thrilling than pretty. A voice that heavy sounds very different when brought all the way to the top.

  • I love Gruberovas laughing song

  • ¡EDITA! <3

  • The most technically perfect Bell Song ever recorded goes to Devia.

  • hallstein and gruberova they are amazing !

  • the first 2 sopranos sing some notes too stoccato in their colotura - usually those notes are supposed to be more legato....

  • I don't like Sumi Jo's High Eb/E natural ... sounds like a shriek

  • I didn't know Eglise Gutierrez but ... she's AMAZING! I think her performance is the best! Then Mariella Devia and Sumi Jo. I agree with flicfan, Callas comes after.

  • How unfair was to put those other sopranos next to Callas.

  • Gruberova gets my vote.
