This is a short contest. I thought it would be interesting to judge the mezzo sopanos. I have always found this aria thrilling. I hope everyone enjoys. Again a score of 1-5 for singing/characterization:
Vesselina Kasarova - 1990
Fiorenza Cossotto - 1971
Daniela Barcellona - 2006
Elena Obraztsova - 1991
Shirley Verrett - 1992
Mariana Pentcheva - 1997
Luciana D'Intino - 1992
Gloria Scalchi - 1997
Dolora Zajick - 2002

  • ¡¡¡GRANDIOSA, MAGNIFICA. UNA DE LAS GRANDES MEZZOS, ENTRE, LAS MAS

    GRANDES!!!. SE ENCONTRABA, EN ESTE VIDEO, EN UNO DE LOS MOMENTOS

    MAS GLORIOSOS DE SU CARRERA. DUEÑA Y SEÑORA, ¡¡¡ABSOLUTA!!!.

  • La Simionato,La Nicolai ...

  • Agreed

  • this is all true. However Zajick's technique has gotten better as she has aged, where Cossotto's vocal production started to suffer towards the end of her career. I also believe that Zajick is a more flexible artist, capable of doing a wider variety of roles. Both women brought/bring incredible gifts to the stage..Lets celebrate them both!

  • Game set and match! Quality of voice you are born with. You can train it to perfection but the tone and quality are with you from the beginning Cossotto has a texture - a focus- a velvet like tone yet brilliant . Even when she pushes the voice the tone remains Zajick's voice, though flexible has not this golden texture and tends to get shrill and sound shouted when pushed. I heard Fiorenza sing live in 1970 as Santuzza . Her's was a voice to be heard in the flesh

  • Diva assoluta!!!!!!!! La piu grande delle mezzo soprani!!!!!!

  • I loved this so much, I got the video and the1974

    studio recording. The audience really got its money's worth in this performance...she was

    on fire that night!

  • Lamas grande es la Fiorenza!!! Como ella canta

    es un maravilla. Ahora no hay una Cantante como

    ella!!!!! Ella es muy grande

  • BRAVA!!! I LOVE YOU FIORENZA!! Wherever you are!!

  • escuchen a Oralia Dominguez, para mi la mejor mezzosoprano que hay. No se si cante esta aria, pero en verdad escuchenla
