  • First of all, she looks stunning; secondly she sings this for everything it's worth: upholding the great Verdi traditions. That smoldering chest voice is something to behold; I love the wandering and "lost in thought" attitude she takes. It's a perfect interpretation for the melodramma. I will never forget her El Cid performance at Carnegie Hall: U N B E L I E V A B L E!

  • Quelle soirée! Quel souvenir! Caballé, Aragall, Bruson, Estes et Bumbry. Le plus beau des don Carlos, avec le mistral de Provence qui s'invitait par brèves bourrasques. Un triomphe inimaginable- j'en frissonne encore et je me rappelle, avec mes voisins, avoir sangloté comme un enfant , tellement c'était beau.

  • And that, ladies and gentlemen, is how it is done!!!!!!!

  • Talk about putting the "grand" back in GRAND OPERA! Love Miss Bumbry. A great artist and such a lovely person.

  • oh my god I have NEVER heard her sing well until this.....thank god I can start to see why someone likes her.

  • @operachad well said, and Bumbry also eats the stage as did Callas!

  • I am not always Bumbry's biggest fan, but she sings the shit out of this aria! Brava! I love singers who go for broke and she always did. Not like these tiny voiced mannequins we have today.

    Just for the record, I have listened to many versions and my favorites are (for different reasons):

    Bumbry--Bravura singing & sexy

    Verrett--Huge voice & sooooo Verdian

    Troyanos--Mesmerizing. The live Met from 1980. Such a believable performance

    Baltsa--Threw it all out there

    BRAVI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Great performance done with great vocal stability, BRAVA!!

  • Nice performance, but why did she scream out the high B....?

  • @a96577 It is an open-air performance.

  • brava....ma il vento era voluto??

  • @olympicfreak678 ajjajajajajajaja! es verdad!
