  • Gentile Sediziose Voci : la Signora Caballè non ha cessato di essere "grande" nel 1975 come lei asserisce ma almeno un decennio più tardi -- in quanto a compararla nella durata di Carriera con la Devia , questo non è possibile - nella gola della Devia è passato un Repertorio "ristretto" mentre la Caballè ha cantato di tutto , da Salomè alla Stuarda alla Tosca etcetera ed inoltre penso sia più "anziana" della Devia di almeno 15 anni ......ma non si può compararLe, troppo "diverse" !

  • I love this whole scene. At 3:12 stars one of my favorite Donizetti melodies. And then to have Caballe sing it with her gorgeous tone and amazing pianissimos; well, it just doesn't get any better than this.

  • ¡Eso es belcanto!

  • Caballe is superb in this role, as she usually is in every role she sings. Sills owns the role, but Caballe is still magnificent!

  • Se me pone la piel de gallina...

  • Tout à fait d'accord avec opera75frfr. Il est bon parfois de remettre les pendules à l'heure. Perso j ajouterai son Devereux 1979 san Francisco... Terrible!

  • For me, Caballe as Queen Elizabeth I in Deveraux isn't any good. She doesn't thrill me like Leyla Gencer, Beverly Sills or even Dimitra Theodossiou. She's boring!! She never gets into character. I also have issues with this costume. Looks nothing like Queen Elizabeth I of England, looks more like Isabella of Spain. Caballe's better as Norma, Anna Bolena, Maria Stuarda, Lucrezia, Puritani and Pirata. But Deveraux wasn't for her.

  • She really is superb here. The legato, long breath control, pianissimo notes, and dark passages are admirable. Great.

    Also refer to a rare extract of Raina Kabaivanska from 1988, noble and very royal...

    BUT

    Beverly Sills owns this role and remains the definitive interpreter.

    Devia and Gruberova remain miles, miles behind.

  • @lmspr Good taste yours, regards

  • this has to be the ultimate listening experience. we are in the precence of genius!! for an audience to be transported to another level by an artist is truly a gift and here that is certainly the case. what a magnificent woman, her legato and piano notes a legend and for me the ultimate voice.

  • This performance of Vivi ingrato is so outstanding that other divas have copied it, without reaching the same level of glory xD
