I hope everyone enjoys these postings. I have tried to put together a small sampling of videos that represent the best of Verdi and the best of the soprano voice. As with any Verdi music the aria is difficult in its own way. Aida is a part that has many facets, beautiful and devious as they are. 1-5 for Singing/Characterization:
Galina Kalinina - 1989
Leyla Gencer - 1963
Sharon Sweet - 1990
Birgit Nilsson - 1964
Orianna Santunione - 1973
Leona Mitchell - 1995
Maria Guleghina - 1998
Aprile Millo - 1992
Daniela Dessi - 2000
Galina Gorchakova - 1995
Herva Nelli - 1949
Gilda Cruz-Romo - 1977 (sorry for the poor audio)
Violeta Urmana - 2006
Mirella Freni - 1987
Renata Tebaldi - 1959
Gabriella Tucci - 1961
Leontyne Price - 1985

  • She's fantastic.

  • A Russian Callas. Brava and bravissima.

  • I think she's a wonderful singer. She made a definitive recording of The Invisible City of Kitezh, and appears as Xenia in the earlier of the 2 Boris Godunovs from the Bolshoi with Nesterenko.

  • 3/4 fine

  • Dark and distinctive beautiful voice. I had not heard of her before. Hard to imagine a darker and deeper voice for her opponent - Amneris. Not everyone can be the best but this is very good. 4/4

  • 4/4

  • Galina Kalinina 3/5.
