I begging here. Onegin, was this opera ever

recorded in full? The audio was. because I

found it. What about the video? I have been

looking for it for years! Please...put me out of

my misery...if it doesn't exist, please tell me!

@Jeanne90275 This performance was videotaped in full

[Orfeus80]

The magnificient Norma of Caballe. And Bagloni as a last minute Cossotto replacement does well, sweet voice and Montsi recognises it. Am I greedy to ask for more uploads from this performance? Thank you!

How wonderful to hear Caballe in another interpretation of Norma which is as magnificent as the one in Orange.And she looks beautiful.

Great thanks for this video!

Bellissima la complicità fra due grande artiste! sintomo di una splendida sinergia... 

[Jeanne90275]

I keep coming back to this video. Montserrat, of course,

is sublime, but, with her encouragement, Baglioni probably

gives the best performance of her career!

[Jeanne90275]

@Orfeus80 No, you're not greedy...it's probably the best 'Norma'

with Montserrat on video. I have spent years looking for it; I've only

found the CD. I have the l'Orange one; that was easy to get, but

I'd love to have this one, too, even if Cossotto/Baglioni share the

mezzo role. Plus, I love Ivo Vinco as Oroveso. Anybody know where

the full video can be found? Please, please let us know where!

La Baglioni non la si puo' proprio sentire.., stonata, crescente... acida.. Mi spiace, l'ho apprezzata tanto in Amneris, ma la Adalgisa non è proprio il suo pane.

[CandyHaleLinton]

@Desideria7 What pernicious rubbish you write! (That's the polite version)

Baglioni sings delightfully and most sweetly.

[Desideria7]

The Beauty and the Beast... I remember that evening, the genius of Caballe saved the duet. Baglioni is the most horrible Adalgisa, out of tune, no coloratura.. at all, the voice has at least three different colours and she is definitely not mezzosoprano. But now she is one of the most mafious voice teachers in Italy... What a shame that Cossotto could not sing that evening!

I have this on CD, but Fiorenza Cossotto sings

"O rimembranza" and the trio before withdrawing. Bruna Baglioni begins with "Mira, o Norma." Do you remember if your LP was the same?

[TheWisemonkey8]

This is wonderful to watch. Baglioni is inferior (replacing the indisposed Cossotto as a last minute understudy), yet she sings the performance of her life. Her genus is being drawn from her by the amalgamation of Caballe and the great Bellini. Yet through it all both singers remain humble their contribution fleeting. Bellini is eternal. Thank you Oneguin impeccable musical selections. I send my kind and warm regards my friend in music.
