@cantanteporsiempre Giusto, giusto e ancora giusto. Sono stuffo anch'io dell' ignoranza e arroganza di tutte queste Opera Queens. Come diceva mia nonna: Bada se vuoi criticare i grandi. O falo meglio, o stai zitto!

One of the things I love about Simionatto's version is her mastery of the range. She moves from a full chest sound (for low notes) to a rich middle mixed voice and a ringing free top. Shirley Verret is another good example of this. Too many who sing this are weak on the very top or the very bottome (it is a VERY wide ranging aria). Some have a very strong middle, but are lacking in the extremes. Brava Giulietta!!

I sat through Nadja Michael's Lady Macbeth and found her totally inadequate. Yes, she was praised for her intense acting, shapely body, etc. Unfortunately the woman sang flat, had little to no flexibility in her voice to sing the coloratura that Verdi wrote down, her Italian diction sounded like German, etc. I understand that she is a "star" according to many critics and fools in the audience.

Há inúmeras grandes vozes, cujo desempenho mantém sempre um alto nível mas sempre há papéis que soam melhor nessa ou naquela voz. Com as mezzo acontece o mesmo - Cossotto como Amneris, Baltsa como Carmen - só para citar alguns exemplos, são fantásticas, levando-se em conta ainda, o gosto pessoal do ouvinte. O que distingue a Simionato das demais é o altíssimo nível que ela mantém em TODOS os papéis. Tudo o que ela fez foi fantástico. Não apenas bom, mas ÓTIMO. Cante para os anjos, divina.

A truly great artist.

The definitive Verdi Mezzo!
We should stop trash talking these glorious divas of the past, their art is already engraved into history, they'll be remembered forever and nothing we say or do will change their art. Get over not liking Callas, or Simionato, or Scotto, or whoever! They're already standards for today's singers.
Let's say bad things about Netrebko instead :)

it´s so easy to critizice when you do not stand on a stage and have the commitment to sing this great roles, you all people shut the hell up and lisent humbly, and learn. and I agree with the last comment, Barbieri was a great mezzo.
