  • Her fame is not only for now but for more than the near future. Such an artist will be the inspiration for many generations...

  • She sings enchantingly here! Her pianissimi and her phrasing are OUT OF THIS WORLD! She possesses so much musicality and lyricism in her voice! I like so much how she changes vocal colour according to the character she is portraying! For example, as Tosca, her voice sounds much fuller and voluminous!

  • I love Angela, but she is uncharacteristically suffering from some pitch issues here. Strange.

  • La Tebaldi è una perfetta Adriana ma anche molto diversa. È vitrea e paradisiaca ma monodimensionale, Angela invece ha una tavolozza di sfumature, ha l'umanità che costruisce il personaggio già dal suo primo ingresso. Il fraseggio è morbido e i piani calibrati. Quest'aria è facilmente noiosa se non la sai cantare, perché molto lenta e di poche note prolungate (alla Casta Diva), ma se canti il dramma oltre la nota come lei allora hai centrato l'obiettivo

  • Non capisco l'ostilità nei confronti di questa grande artista. Questo ruolo le calza a pennello, l'ho anche ascoltata dal vivo ed era superba! È un ruolo lirico, lento e che richiede un colore drammatico, mi sembra che lo domini bene! Certo la Caballè è un'Adriana insuperabile ma lei è l'Adriana dei tempi moderni

  • I don't like the sound of her voice - Go to Tebaldi - she owns that aria.

  • this is about how to make a wonderful aria lose its enchant... viva la callas, viva tebaldi

  • i dont like it...

  • @CateSoprano callas

  • Eine wunderschoene Stimme !

  • @unotenore As to your point regarding Freni singing past her prime: agreed. On your opinion that I do not know voices "at all": I sung as a boy soprano with the American Boychoir in my youth, have an undergraduate degree in vocal music and literature, and a master's degree in choral and orchestral conducting from the University of California. I work in the field and other professionals rarely if ever have use for the archaic categorizations of "fachs" of which you speak.

  • @lamiacuffietta concordo!
