Claudia Muzio Traviata "Addio del passato" w.recitativo
Loading...
Uploaded by A7sogno on Jul 13, 2007
La Muzio revels in this glorious final act of Verdi's great masterpiece, "La Traviata".
This role has been sung well by many great stars, but here for me is one of the greatest and most haunting readings of this recitative and aria you will ever hear.
In a total concentration of talent and pure magic, Muzio so identifies with the doomed courtesan that she becomes her in the kind of performance that transcends the medium. Not just notes, but pieces of herself that are breaking off as melodious fragments of a life and soul coming to an end. A sick and breathless quality to the famous reading of the letter hauntingly confirms from the very beginning the nearness of death and hopelessness and as we are taken deeper into her world coming to a end, the heartbreak is almost unbearable. Exactly what Verdi begged for in his genius melodies and text, a living emotion in sound and words. Muzio is a vivid example of a type of expression that used to be demanded of singers.... the orchestra becomes an extension of her and not just music, she uses the entire piece to weave a spell transporting us all to this final moment in a life ultimately trasnfigured by the power of love.
This one could scar you for life!

Imagine - this great woman was dying and singing with a collapsed lung when she recorded this- she genuinely is breathless yet she never sacrifices expression and she is Verdi's Violetta.

How come three people disliked this? What's wrong with them?

Ever since 7 years ago,the first time I listened to this recording, this has always been my favourite recording of this aria.

I know another great Verdi singer. Her name is Aprile Millo and her parisians admirers think of her often. Bless you.

I wish there were singers this good in 2010

Preciosa voz, interpretacion musicalmente perfecta, es una bella experiencia que agradezco a "A7sogno". Dramáticamente prefiero la interpretación de Magda Olivero en la década de los 50.
