I love Moser but she misses the tempo and the repiration here 6:34 . And she should sing "ding, ding ding ding" as Elvira not "ah ah ah ah" like the Queen of the night.

@bitterclevelander Exactly my thoughts. This tone is completely dipped in any other rendition...

Bravissimi!!!!

This was a special event unlike any other since. Shame on those who fail us all by not putting out the entire Gala on DVD. Is there anyone out there who could be so kind as to loan me a copy as I have never seen any thing near a complete version. I was overseas with the military at the time and only heard of it second hand. Contact me at vinfirsttenor@aol.com

Super super super !!

Okay, in defense of Moser here, she was a DRAMATIC coloratura. The voice was not suited to the soubrette-style chirping that this role requires. Having to constantly over-lighten her sound in order to make it through this ensemble must have been horribly tiring. Shame on whoever was assigning the rep for this gala - much better use of her extraordinary talent could have been made!

Poor Kesling, singing besides the powerful like thunder voice of Edda Moser, makes her sound like a comprimario singer...
