Must have been one of the finest sopranos of all time , a superb voice , beautiful throughout the range , great interpretaion and vocal technique , a joy to listen too . Thank You So Much!!!

YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY CORRECT. Callas could never compete in Cerquetti or Rethberg's league.

voce bellissima, cantante straordinaria, artista fenomenale...

What's even more than this vocal tour de force is when you realize she was only 25 here, and that her professional career spanned less than 10 years - she was not even 30 when she retired. In 9 short years she established herself as not just one of the finest Verdi sopranos in her generation, but one of the greatest singers of the century.

@jrtrmish A *true nonsense* is the endless comparison of different singers. Another one is that one's opinion on any singer's voice beauty/ugliness is absolute. And the greatest one is that the beauty of voice is most important. Singing is an art, and art depends on artistry, not on beauty, which is only decorative. BTW: Cerquetti's recording of this aria is great and I really do admire her as a great artist.

Such elegance and passion ! viva la Cerquetti

Grand! The articulation is impeccable. Strange lack of physical power to sustain the climaxes- which brings us to Callas: everybody might have his own opinion on her legacy and the beauty (or lack of-) in her voice, but it´s a question of Fach.

Totally re-defining the singing art form, Cerquetti here is saturated with a fervour of life at its most tragical.
Ecco come si canta. Punto.
