This is a short contest. I thought it would be interesting to judge the mezzo sopanos. I have always found this aria thrilling. I hope everyone enjoys. Again a score of 1-5 for singing/characterization:
Vesselina Kasarova - 1990
Fiorenza Cossotto - 1971
Daniela Barcellona - 2006
Elena Obraztsova - 1991
Shirley Verrett - 1992
Mariana Pentcheva - 1997
Luciana D'Intino - 1992
Gloria Scalchi - 1997
Dolora Zajick - 2002

  • Unbelievable. Just unbelievable. I had almost forgotten how superbly Obratsowa sang: as if a baritone and a soprano merged into one, utterly astouding voice.

  • I feel like I just had a religious experience. This is truly the voice of an angel, powerful, beautiful and terrible. No wispy limp-wristed angels here, haha. I don't know about anyone else, but if we had more singers of this quality and level of excitement, I'd pay good money to go see them perform.

  • è stonata.....un pochino.... :-)

  • I love that she is fearless in her high registry but she is often too rough...

  • @leprincebeaumont hai ragione!!! il suo registro grave è stupendo..infatti meglio quelle che li soffiano i gravi...lei ce li ha li fa e anche benissimo e fa bene a ostentarli se così si può dire...w obratzova

  • @divinobacco giusto!!!! concordo in pieno..grande obratzova!!! ha una voce enorma e ricca con dei gravi da far paura..l'ignoranza purtroppo abbonda..ormai molti sono abituati a sentire voci incastrate negli zigomi...questa è una tromba del giudizio di voce!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @fazendasantoexpedito it isn't vulgar..she has a dark and huge voice..maybe she isn't adact for this role but obratzova is a beautiful singer ever..vulgar is an other thing..

  • @divinobacco Carissimo, hai ragione da vendere! La Obrazova aveva una voce fenomenale e una tecnica di alto livello (basterebbe ascoltare il suo 'Stride la vampa', con tutti i gruppetti a posto e con tanto di trilli); criticarla per quel suo registro grave così ostentato mi sembra ingeneroso!

  • canta come un carrettiere: come compare Alfio non è male!

  • This is kinda rough...I really like her Azucena, but not sure about this role.
