La Mamma Morta from Andrea Chenier sung by the great Claudia Muzio.

The tenor Giacomo Lauri-Volpi wrote of Muzio: Singing with that unique voice of hers made of tears and sighs and restrained interior fire. The years, around 1930, were probably her best, precisely the years in which she did not record! Between 1924 and 1934 there is a ten-year gap. The missing period would seem to be the very one in which her interpretations had matured while her voice was still in prime condition. The early records may lack the intensity and creativeness of her later recordings, and in the famous Columbias one is aware of some physical limitations (uneasy high notes, flatness, mannerisms in style and enunciation, vowels!), but there is a pathos, an inner committment and charm in her singing that is immensely moving and touching. Only a few sopranos equalled her in this aspect of emotional involvement.

  • IF YOU LOVE MUZIO, AS DO I, LISTEN TO "AH DEL MIO AMATO BEN." (DONAUDY SONG).

    EVERYTHING SHE SANG WAS INVESTED WITH SPECIAL MEANING. NONE OF THE TWITTERINGS OF KATHLEEN BATTLE & JUNE ANDERSON ET ALL -

    To Say nothing of Miss Church & the Classic FM stable of nobodies.

  • amo su voz quisiera cantar como ella ,yo soy soprano en el coro y sueño con su voz apartye una gran interprete no en vano la llamaban la DIVINA CLAUDIA me parece que fue la iniciadora del piano en la soprano en los altos en su epoca fue muy criticada hoy se estila hacer pianissimo en los altos inclusive en el coro donde yo estoy ,estos talentos tendrian que perdurar para siempre en fin gracias a estos medios podemos volver a escucharlos

  • That was hair raising.

  • There was Muzio, there was Ponselle, and there was Callas - with Leontyne Price sandwiched somewhere in between.

  • Amo a Claudia, mi padre me la hacia escuchar desde chica y cantaba con ella , por suerte aprendí esta técnica con el Mo. Mario Monachesi quien fue alumno de famoso Mo. Arturo Melocchi, puedes escucharme en Youtube, soy May Hemmingsen soprano argentina, egresade del Instituto Superior de Arte del Teatro Colón.

  • Muzio is one of those singers that goes directly to the heart.

  • Oh my God, was this Callas before Callas??

  • Beyond belief.. I can say no more.

  • OH....MY...GOD....
