I invite all of you to see Cossotto on Tokyo last year...on Amneris...here in youtube and you will see her voice decadence...

[LadyArmide]

Sorry, but don't you think you are being quite rude and unpleasant with Fiorenza Cossotto? Everyone can notice that you don't like her, but there is no need for you to bash her like this. She is not for everybody's taste and no one is forcing you to like her, but she had a great career, worked with the greatest conductors and singers and is recognized by many as one of the greatest mezzo-soprano of her generation and she deserves respect.

[LadyArmide]

In the video that you mentioned (the Judgement Scene in Japan), Cossotto is 71 years old and it may not be her best performance and, yes, maybe she should have retired, but don't you think that classify it as "..he most shameful, awful, creepy and nasty play of all the opera history" is a bit to much? Opera history is full of great singers who didn't retire on right time, and in the other side, it shows their huge love for the stage.

[LadyArmide]

There are singers who I personally don't like too, it's more than normal for it to happen, but never crossed my mind to talk about them like you are talking about Fiorenza, because it's not their fault that I don't like them, it's simply a matter of taste.

Cossoto è e resterà un fenomeno straordinario del canto. Un vero artista come si non fa più. Su scena, era grandioso!

[PedroPiresTrovatore]

And Corelli was really a bass-baritone.

Happy? Now we've both posted dubious opinions as though they were true. But guess what? That's not enough to make them true.

Non mi piace. La voce suona troppo lirica e poco aggressiva.

@carlogic1953 e lei chi parla di:"decenza"?

E proprio lei che dà "lezioni" di "decenza" dopo avermi insultato senza nessuna ragione?

E proprio lei che parla di canto e di educazione?!?!?

Mi aveva offeso senza nessuna ragione!

Lei é un maleducato che si permette di "regalare" insulti a sinistra e a destra!

Vai à scuola e impara le buoni manieri!

Vai e smetti di aggredire gente simpatica!

Viviamo nella libertà della espressione e della "emozione"!

Ritorna nella scuola media musicale,buffone.

Magnificence--I love the brilliance in her voice, and appreciate the absence of heavy chesty vocal production. Her voice actually has the heft without having to beef it up in other ways. Fabulous!

[TerrancePogue]

not bad as i thought it was going to be....

[mrlammermoor]

I like how she forgets at 9:19 that for the recording take she sang all the notes before the coloratura to the high b ending the aria.

[robertdonkers]

I think she is one of the best mezzo's over, but I really do not like her shrill, thinnish soprano high register. Gladly she left the soprano repertoire sooner than later, discovering that singing Abigail and Lady MacBeth did not do her voice any good. Listen to her studio recordings of Verdi soprano arias, It really is not good, flat and shrill. But as Amneris few will be her equal

[sivoda]

I LOVE this! What a mezzo-soprano, -what a register, and what a technique! And it sounds and looks so effortless, yet knowing it's real hard work. Great!

La ottima e meravigliosa Cossotto è probabilmente, come meteriale di partenza, un soprano drammatico scuro scuro... ma le vibrazioni sono sopranili. Anche nel Macbeth ovviamnte non può che eccellere-
