She herself regards this as her greatest single performance. She really is sublime, the voice, long breath control, pianissimos, the forte high C, the ferocious attack of the heavier passages, clear phrasing (not always Caballe's strength), regal bearing, fantastic! Listen to her "Casta Diva" from this performance, such beauty defies description, easily the most beautifully sung version of the aria ever put on record. The 20th century saw 3 great Normas: Ponselle, Callas, and Caballe. Period.

Oops, pardon me. "Scorreran"! The rest remains the same. But i can't resist the opportunity to comment again on the occasion of this small correction - THIS IS MAGNIFICENT!!!!!!! Really makes you see sense in Bellini's phrase "Opera has to make one weep, shudder and die". I personally admit I get goosebumps every time I see the "Guerra, Guerra!"

One of the fews that caught this roll well. Brava Monserrat!!!
Sangue Roman Scooooooooooooooorera torrrrenti! She'll surely let them have it! The way she stands there with the dagger at Guerra, Guerra and her vindictive-sounding voice... this is priceless and magnificent!
