@fontenayperi Oui c'est vrai, mais bon , elle nous a gratifiés de tant de merveilles!!
-
@liguten certes, mais la tradition du bel canto permet une liberté créatrice aux interprètes. d'où la variété de finales, et notamment de notes aigues
-
@fontenayperi En général, Caballe respecte la partition. Si elle ne fait pas la High note cela signifie qu'elle n'est pas écrite!
-
@LordHettrick Right it's historical fiction in most cases but there are many fine productions that do a better job of period authenticity/verisimilitude as far as costumes & atmosphere; I'm a Caballe fan; she sings this wonderfully but they could have her wearing something simpler like for instance what Dame Janet Baker wore during this scene when she sang Stuarda (in English), she maintained dignity and majesty, raising up a crucifix in her hand even in a simple black robe.

@OperaMystery80 Honestly, who cares. you do not give a dramatic soprano a bravura number like this one to be sung in a ragged night gown. The symbol is as important as what is shown. In this opera, the emphasis is put on the queenly dignity of Mary Stuart in her death; it is thus fitting to portray her in royal dress. Operas are not meant as historical reenactments.

Splendid......at her best
-
@motardbear15 She was not at her best: her best finished in 1976.
-
@ferrykalos a volte si. Però ad averne oggi... (un saluto!) p.s. dal 67 al 74 non aveva rivali (e aveva i sovracuti... poi l'età...)
-
i love Caballe but it's always a bit frustrating that she doesn't do the last big high notes that other bal canto sopranos never fail to do

What a beauty: splendid singing, great pathos, absolute control of the voice, ethereal PPP, superb FF, impeccable legato. Well: surely an ideal performance by Caballé at her very best! Her instrument ideally matches the Donizetti vocal line. What an easy, smooth and natural vocal projection! It's amazing! And besides, Montserrat looks regal, a real Queen: beautiful and classy. What an example! Many thanks for posting!

The best performance (ever) was in Paris at Pleyel(also with Carreras) she was AT HER BEST ! The audiance stopped the last Act after her first "prayer" during 20 minutes!It was just a dream,people were completly amazed by her voice!!!! She will remain for ever in our mind ( the ble canto lovers!!)
