  • What a varied repertory Gencer has! and again sings wonderfully! Thank you for the video.

  • If Elisabeth Schwarzkopf and Montserrat Caballes were consulting with her, asking for her advice on technical matters, she must have been doing something very impressive in her day :)

  • A tre persone non piace la Gencer. Andate ad ascoltarvi la Rancatore..

  • Gencer was magnfiicent. A soprano who can sing roles like Elvira in Don Giovanni but also Norma and Aida, as Gencer did, indicates a singer of enormous range and versatility, intelligence and expert musicianship. Her singing was always dramatic and yet incredibly beautiful. Her death was a loss to the opera world, because even in her old age her advice and teaching method was highly important.

  • quiero encontrar más videos con Renato Cesari.

  • Splendid!

  • This looks fantastic - thank you VAI.

  • Raro e bellissimo documento ! Penso però che il coro della RAI di Milano fosse

    diretto dal Maestro Roberto Benaglio che ha poi diretto per molti anni il coro della

    Scala.

  • Gencer is really good. I love Mario Petri's Don Giovanni. He has such a beautiful voice.

  • The Istanbul lady died yesterday... My Turkish opera queen. She will live para siempre in our hearts with her art and performance... Rest in peace my lady bellisimo... :(
