  • Must have been one good evening at the theater (even the often badly cast Masetto is good; Kenny and Winbergh must have been a dream; could you possibly post their first act duet :)?). Hunt adapts her voice effectively to characterize the young girl and would have to be the best Zerlina that I had the pleasure to hear. Thank you for the post :)!

  • She transposed the notes a whole octave down, starting with the A down to the C. There is another video of her performing this, and she does the same run. She probably didn't have the high B needed for it.

  • Merci de ce beau témoignage de l'art de Lorraine Hunt. Pour goûter plus de ce document rare, pourrez-vous publier la scène du duo avec Don Giovanni ("La ci darem la mano") et la scène de l'acte II avec Masetto incluant l'air "Vedrai carino" ? Merci ! Je dispose moi-même de documents un peu rares sur cette grande chanteuse dont je pourrais vous faire profiter...

  • I think she latter changed her vocal gesture, the very tone production, which means of course the plasticity of he sound.

    Hence her voice developing in the huge, golden age warmth sound we all know.

    To me here it lacks a bit of focus, that laser-like "ping" quality that carries over the orchestra effortlessly.

    But Lorraine Hunt in her green days is still gorgeous and fascinating, isn't she? It's just that she wasn't yet at her very best.

  • Question: does anyone know if the run at 4:33 is performed as written in the score, and if not, where it comes from? If I recall correctly, generally the notes sung are much higher.

  • Or maybe she changed vocally? Such things have been known to happen. I would like to hear more of your opinion on this; I'm not sure I agree with it, but I find your post interesting and thoughtful and gave it a thumbs up because of that.

  • Interesting, she had not found herself vocally yet.

  • She's just a baby!
