This contest idea was suggested to me after the Favorita contest, and I was instantly impressed. This is not the typical bel canto contest that I usually put together, but I really love this aria. I have put together a collection of some really great artists, I hope everyone enjoys. Again a score of 1-5 for singing/characterization:
Giulietta Simionato - 1962
Eva Marton - 1988
Sonia Ganassi - 2007
Ildiko Komlósy - 2000
Fiorenza Cossotto - 1975
Grace Bumbry - 1984
Elena Obraztsova - 1978
Giovanna Casolla - 1992
Marie-Ange Todorovitch - 2003
Nadja Michael - 2004
Tatiana Troyanos - 1980
Biserka Cvejic - 1967
Violeta Urmana - 1997
Dolora Zajick - 2000
Agnes Baltsa - 1986

  • THIS IS A PERFECT EXAMPLE WHEN OPREA SINGERS SHOULD HAVE RETIRED POOR DEAR

  • Not a good treatment of the voice - less enjoyable

    

  • It was always a pain to listen to this woman, even when her voice was in its prime. It was a magnificent instrument, but I hate how she uses/used it... and we can hear all too clearly the toll her "technique" took on her voice.

  • @lamusicahera

    seriously. tenors are worse tho. a powerful lyric soprano singing tosca is forgivable. a wimpy sounding lyric tenor singing manrico is not. you have to sound like a man to sing opera. give me corellli, vickers or, best yet, Vinay. I will admit tho, I love Jonas Kaufmann. his dark, rich timbre is extremely refreshing.

  • Not good at all

  • What a vocal mess!

  • LOL....Only 30%? where the hell did you come up with that random number? Did someone do a study? Bumbry didn't have a small voice by ANY standard, and she sings the HELL out of this aria. She does it FAR better than Marton, by any standard you can measure.

  • but Grace Bumbry could sing this aria in spades. This poor chick is struggling, and according to the record- Marton was a "real" soprano. Hm... go figure

  • That was nasty!

  • sometimes vocal decline has to do with a terrible personality...
