Moffo was the perfect Nanetta. No one since has this aria like her.

[lektorblomme2]

Oh my good. No one does is better . Moffo is just so delicate and moving.

[TheWisemonkey8]

@mrrk Hmm... Battle, Freni and Janowitz made some very good efforts...

[EusebiusandFlorestan]

Thank you so much for posting, I am in tears to see her sing such beautiful aria, I agree with most of you she is the perfect Nanetta. Not only she does the last phrase in one breath "le fate, hanno percifre, i fior" : Fairies have for alphabet flowers" they do when she is singing ,most magical piannisimo Bravissima

@HeidelbergSoprano Alice

[ShawDAMAN]

@HeidelbergSoprano It's been a while but she sang Alice Ford I'm 99% sure. :)

with moffo, who cares about callas?!

and oh look at her nose =P

[aquile2010]

absolutely perfect!

[FoggyRoad81]

The only singer to match this was Battle live i 1985, its on my account. These two are by far the best at this.

[chopin1949]

And who else in the world could ever sing that last phrase without breathing??? It's totally extraordinary.

End of all discussions! MOFFO was simply one of the greatest singers ever.

What a fine document , so nostalgic, with the voice of an angel. Almost heavenly.
