@GOTICO671 Infatti... rileggo ora il mio messaggio di 2 anni fa e non capisco da dove salti fuori la cazzata "Devia is the real and only Drammatico d'Agilità" we know. Quella sera o avevo bevuto o probabilmente avevo in mente di scrivere un altro nome e ho scritto Devia.
Concordo con lei su tutto, specialmente sulla Devia e sulla Callas che ritengo un grande Drammatico d'agilità (ovviamente solo quando la voce glielo ha consentito: anni '48 - '53)
Glad you discovered Devia you keep saying everywhere your only reference is this pitiful Gruberova, you keep posting everywhere that she is the only one - and what Donizetti, Bellini, Rossini, Verdi really are after the video I sent you.. Good luck, you have a lot to lean, to you and Edita, gone for me years ago! Aurevoir, Addio once and for all. You are Italian, you will make it of course!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
I prefer Gruberova's small voice than Callas' one, anyway! Mariella Devia is a great, great singer. I like her! She is much better than Callas, and Sutherland. Devia is the real and only "Soprano Drammatico D'Agilità" we know.
I'm Italian, so I can't let you write "a diction that no one understands" about Gruberova! Hope you were saying that about Sutherland! Gruberova's diction is perfect, and moreover every word is clearly understandable! (can't say the same about Callas!)
Major performances, and a great Gruberova, such as her Manon in Vienna. That was years ago: she has changed, for years and years, producing miserable, pitiful sounds (something creamy) , a diction that noone understands (no even her!). In this Roberto she is ridiculous, she is not at all Elisabetta. This is circus, opera is not circus. Where is Donizetti? Sorry for her, exactly the years before Callas but fortunately others, hoep you will discover them, follow Maria Callas path!!
I am glad to learn that Gruberova is not your only reference (as you said yourself!) since you mention Maria Callas. You should then understand better what is Bel Canto. Gruberova is bringing us back to the small voices /petites voix/ piccole voci Callas has always fought against. My FINAL point: you know I have attended great performances with Gruberova (Lucia with Alagna in Zürich do you know who he is?), I Capuletti with Baltsa (do you know who she is?) in London.
The keywords of Bel Canto technique are: (you probably know them much better than I do) COLORATURA, LEGATO, MESSA DI VOCE, RANGE. I believe that there is nobody as good as Gruberova in those things! I'm sorry but I think we will never agree about her! :-(
I love her hair xDDD magnificent!!!

@DiegoMartinazzoli LEI è italiano ma dice sciocchezze LA DEVIA è un lirico d'agilità bravissia ma inespressiva
MARIA CALLAS è STATA E SEMPRE SARA' IL VERO ED UNICO DRAMMATICO D'AGILITA
LA devia ha mai cantato TURANDOT E WLCHIRIA ,? no allora STIA ZITTO ,INCOMPETENTE.
