@chrisz78 I said "I" and "me" multiple times. In answer to your specific question: the human voice is the most beautiful, expressive instrument of all whether singing a text or a vocalise.
-
@Cramnella Music + Poetry = SINGING! Why else should one use an instrument as unreliable and hard-to-discipline as the human voice, if not for its unique ability to express words simultaneous with the notes? Singing without words doesn't make sense - as Mahler used to say about a coloratura (probably Selma Kurz) who was careless with her enunciation: "I'd rather put my first clarinet up there and play the aria, at least he'd stay in tune, and she doesn't give us the words either."

Thanks for the information.Unless you can hear the prompter it is difficult to know whether one is used or not?
My main opera experience is with Covent Garden where the prompter died out quite a few years ago.(I used to work there).
-
@MrLittleEmilio they still do. at least the major houses.
-
@MrSwifts31 that is not correct, almost every major opera house uses a prompter for each production.
-
ohh...and pavarotti is fantastic too;)
-
this is stunning...I love her darker low notes and her clear, bright high notes ... and that e flat!!!!
-
@annalisaloizzo I agree, in her later years her voice lost some of it's beauty like the voices of most older sopranos, but here she is phenominal!
-
@simisimi9 You just dont give up do you. Why listen if you are so obviously a Sutherland hater. Get a life as i said before!

What a beautiful sound she makes here!!!! I'm not a huge fan of her later years but this is perfection!!! And when you're a coloratura WORDS are overated!!! Plus, listen to the tempo that she remarkably maintains and the perciseness and clarity of very pitch, not the forget that beautiful tone that she produces. She is a MASTER in this recording!!!! Brava Sutherland!!
