La mamma morta - Renata Scotto

callas has the suffering, the ecstasy in her voice.... this version is beautiful, but it does not transfix the listener like callas does. i am not a big callas fan, but this aria belongs to her.

Look for Claudia Muzio singing this song. Is the best

But there is a "little" mistake : she says "tu non sei morta" --- "morta""dead" instead of "sola"alone" .... but it happens ... no problems at all ... she is WONDERFULL !!!

i wouldnt describe scotto sound as smooth or comforting.....she is the queen of "squillo" and verismo singing....my favorite soprano......but not a smooth voice.....renee fleming has a "smooth and comforting voice"

beautifull singing. callas convinces me better though. for instance when she says "io son la vita" scotto doesnt make me believe at all

Glauce's aria cut... Renatina, you must've deserved that one!!!!!

Glauce's aria was not cut! And she sounds great in that aria. How terribly campy/bitchy of you to think that whatever distortion you have of that story, now over 50 yrs old, would be relevant to this great rendition of La Mamma Morta. Please give the rest of us a break. That was old 30 years ago.Yawn.

no words....

OMG... this is truly one of the best recordings I have heard of her.. she sings this as though love was caressing her in stead of directing her like in Callas.. .I love them both.. but this one.. is so much more "comforting" if that makes any sense... and I have to say this that I am not a big fan of Scotto and Callas.. Scotto because of the sound at 436... I saw her live and that sound is just not great.. it is wonderful.. not great... just an opinion.
