That is without a doubt, the most beautiful version of that aria that I have ever heard by anyone. Ever.

Une voix rare, un document très émouvant... Grâce soit rendue à cette artiste exceptionnelle... L'une des rares à savoir rendre Bellini avec le souffle, la tenue, le style.

I have chills listening to her. She only had a year of voice lessons. Her studies were mainly for the violin. It just proves that the best voices are natural. I can always tell. Thank God for my very selective sense of hearing!

@061795 Yes, she had a magical voice, full of harmonics and dynamic control which seemeed so natural. Her vissi d'arte is one ofthe alltime best. No doubt she sang from the moment she discovered music. A rarely beautiful natural voice.

@PhoenixTheGingerCat There is a CD available of a complete performance (recorded live) or Norma with Cerquetti and Franco Correlli. Needless to say, it is NOT a timid performance.

Emocionante!!!

Boghe acisadora e s'interpretassione est un'incantu. Cando l'ascurto mi si belant sos ojos. Grassias dae coro.

I have chills all over my arms, and just can't believe I have never even heard of this great singer, at lieast not promoted as heavily as some of the great singers of our time. She is perhaps the greatest voice. An angel, a great great singer. I lover her voice and she hmakes me feel like I have left the earth and landed somewhere in heaven......oh, my!
