From act II of Rossini's Semiramide. Marilyn Horne in her signature role. Met, 1990. 'Maldito Candelabro' Un blog para hablar de la opera en el Peru y el mundo http://operaperu.blogspot.com
Brava, Marilyn Horne!!!! Thousands times BRAVA!!! I've noticed that the most amazing voices don't sound really operatic from academic point of view :-) - but they are so true-to-life, so natural and so RECOGNIZABLE that when hearing Marilyn Horne's voice one will never confuse her with any other singer! Gtelloz - thank you for posting this video!
i was there too and there will never be a mezzo like hers again, it is trully unique and without any voice to compare to. the most beautiful cello like tone in her darker middle and dark rich bottom and the soaring, soaring, top and lightning paced coloratura.
No hay otra que se le iguale o la supere en este papel. Bravissima Horne!!!

Yes, indeed. That is bravura singing at its finest. I'd certainly be ready for combat after that!

Hehe. She didn't have the name "General Horne" for nothing. That voice was a TANK, and she was AMAZING.

I was there. I didn't sleep for a week. She could reach across the orchestra and up in to the gods like no one else.
