¡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.

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
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.
