@laddnyc Gaddafi ruled Libya for almost 40 yrs. Is he a good leader? Does it mean he has had a successful career? If what you asserted stands, then everyone in the world should stay mute and let Gaddafi have his ways, right? Simply because by taking exception to what Gaddafi did during his reign is not "civilized and intelligent" and that Sarkozy, David Cameron and Hillary Clinton should not post "nasty comments" about Gaddiafi, right?

[laddnyc]

@mannail888 ...here is your post that generated my response: "Hammy and insincere, not to mention she wobbles badly."

And you suggest that I should mature as a human being?? Well, I would say to you that a "mature human being" who is "civilized and intelligent" would not have the need to post a nasty comment on something they don't care for, ESPECIALLY regarding sincere artist who is at this time over 30 years into a successful career. If you WERE mature you would have NOT posted anything!

@laddnyc I hope in time you mature as a human being and broaden your horizon, then and only then would you be able to discuss with me anything dealing with arts in a civilized and intelligent manner.

[laddnyc]

@mannail888 actually no, your comment is rude and inappropriate without any merit. The sincerity of this womans needs no defending nor does the exquisite vocalism of a diva who, though at the end of her career, was far from wobbling! Shame on you!

One of the best lecouvreur ever.

Equal to Tebaldi.

BRAVA.

[DavidoffGustav]

compare this to her older recording. This soprano retained such technique and grace that are beyond anyone I have had the honor of hearing.

Ah! I fiori offerti in un'ora d'oblìo ... Oh, crudeltà ... L'avesse negletto, calpestato ... Ma rimandarlo! Aggiungere al disdegno l'oltraggio! ... È troppo! è troppo! ... Soffoco ... Si abbandona affranta sopra una seggiola, nascondendo il viso tra le mani. MICHONNET con falsa sicurezza Adriana, coraggio! Non è lui ... ci scommetto ... È una femmina ... ADRIANA E sia! Ma perché mai discendere a tanta scortesia? ...

Un essai non transformé.Drôle d'embouchure,musicalité correcte,interprétation bien peu émouvante.

Bravissima Mirella sempre, ma l'età si avverte un poco, nella durezza delle modulazioni, in forzature della linea e in una certa fatica generale. Per di più l'interpretazione (checché ne dica il suo alfiere Giudici - campione del partito preso, il suo) è un po' esteriore, un po' da old lady, mi sembra.
