Destinn (February 26, 1878 January 28, 1930) sings this amazing rendition of D'amor Sull'ali. Listen to the trill at the end. Unbelievable.

  • Would you agree Chaliapin was naturally gifted at birth?

    Some folks just have that fortunate gift, others try so

    hard.

    I do respect and thank you for your experienced

    comments.

  • Of course all the greats were gifted. I am just saying that talent can take you far, but the same talent with a limited technique cannot do what the same talent with a great technique can do. I believe there are still very talented and gifted people, but they severely lack technique. The approach that is taught in the universities today is severely limited. You should read, "The End of the Great Big American Voice" from the NY Times.

  • Totally agree....you either have it or you don't, surely

    thats why there's the difference..no amount of training

    can make an average voice into a ..Schipa,Gigli, etc.

    Look at Eliz: Schumann or Lotte yes 6 yrs of learning

    before on stage, they were gifted from birth. That seperates the new voices from the old.Their Greats.!

  • That is not the only reason why there is a difference. The teaching also has to be there and today it isn't. We have not changed physiologically and there are very talented people with very bad technique.

  • @schlusnus

    There are plenty of wonderful talents who had poor

    technique and either never made it or had short careers.

  • @65attila That is right and it should not be that way. Too many fake teachers out there.

see all

  • simply priceless

  • Just breathtaking. Thank you so much.

  • Can you imagine how great this performance would be if they didn't have to speed up the tempo to accommodate the vinyl? It would be the exemplar, period.

  • It's alway's a thrill/to hear a soprano/with voice big as the hills/trip off her tonque/runs,roulades,and trills!

  • Sensational! TY.

  • Brava!

  • Obrovský talent,nádherná žena...stále nedoceněná...

  • one of the best! thanks.
