It was not her last performance by any means. Ms. Horne retired from the Operatic stage in 1996. She continued to sing classical recitals until 2000 and still sings occasionally in non classical recitals. She spends most of her time as Voice Chair at the Music Academy of the West, conducts many master classes, and is very active in the Marilyn Horne Foundation in preserving the art song recital. She's more than a beautiful voice, she's also a beautiful and brillant person.

@Berokymilk With all due respect,you're full of it.

@SkateNater Really dumb comment. Did you know that a singer can chose to sing the A prime section anyway they wish? To my ear she perhaps missed one note, but what singer can sing this at this tempo like Horne. As far as "manufactured sound", I don't think "the greatest singer in the world" needs help or advice from a nobody like you.

I had the chance and I could say the honour to listen to Miss Horn live in Venice, Rome and Verona. She's not only a virtuosa, but also a great great woman.

I actually hear all the notes, unlike other mezzo-coloratura specialists of present.

@Berokymilk With all due respect Ms. Horne is 57yrs old here and Mr. Jaroussky is still only 32! I have a recording of Horne singing this in 1977 and she blows Jaroussky out of the water in every way. He lacks the power and thrust to put this aria across effectively. Also, Horne has a greater facility for Italian as evidenced by her phrasing which is far superior to that of Jaroussky. I find his Italian mushy and often wonder if he understands the words he's singing.

@Berokymilk Different times, different interpretations. If singers like Marilyn Horne had not been here in the 70's to unearth works like Vivaldi's Orlando and Haendel's Rinaldo, the baroque revival might not have taken place in the same way it did, because audiences would not have been interested in hearing them. Due respect indeed.
