CALLAS 1949---live or 1952 . Be SCARED, ( In a GOOD way!) Be Very scared!! Scotto is great too, though!

[woytynowska]

I know Callas' version and personally I prefer Scotto in this role. But I love Callas anyway.

I agree that Scotto is not Abigail as she gives everything she has and everything she has not got.However, there are some marvellous sopanos who did justice to the role besides the wonderful Ghena and Maria. What about Souliotis, Tinsley, Valayre to name a few?

Fabulous singing from Scotto. She sang it with HER voice...and that was certainly enough!

[ErytheisK620]

Secondo il mio modesto parere, questa registrazione di "Salgo già del trono aurato" è meravigliosa. Il tempo è perfetto, La Scotto ha una voce incredibile (e sinceramente è la prima volta che sento i sacerdoti di belo cantare con una bella voce). L'unica cosa che manca è l'acuto finale, ma Muti lo toglie per cui... resta comunque una grande interpretazione.

[Richiesutherland]

Sorry, her voice is NOT enoiugh for me. You can hear that, without the help of the engineers you woiuldn't hear any of her lower middle voice at all. She had pushed it so much that there is nothing but air there. The ascents to high C are painful, and NO, Verdi never asked for the voice of the devil here. The runs down from the C are inaccurate. Why the improper accents on the wrong syllables "qui verraNNO". Love the intensity and her guts, but...

@luwaig1 She NEVER thought she could do it in the theater. That was widely documented in the press everywhere in the world around the time of this recording. It was Muti who wanted her in the studio. There are plenty of studio only assumptions that work including Sutherland's Turandot. The point is that she has the COLOR that is perfect for the role. Muti was right: in the studio this is a major performance.

[louisvuittonswicked]

OMG she is sooo great!!!

VIVA SCOTTO forever!!!!!!

[bodiloto]

voce poco adatta al repertorio drammatico !

[Aetion]

IMHO this killer-role is not for Scotto’s voice.

[NEBESHIKU]

Abigail sung by some one who will never be an Assoluta and reduced to a clown at a freak side show.

[Dymension]

I like it, but it's done in a recording studio. Of course it's going to sound fabulous. The real question is could she do it live in the hall?

[luwaig1]

@jovi1715 la migliore,voce bella grande interprete ed ottima tecnica.

[Marcocucciolo91]

Renata è stupenda,con una autentica propensione drammatica,ma il timbro è troppo chiaro in questo caso;comunque molto brava e intensa...
