Tebaldi gives a lesson an oustanding masterclass how to sing Amneris.

And in GREAT voice in 1972

[LeonoraPasiniani]

Very Cool! Amneris in Tebaldi,s interpretation is wonderful!

La Tebaldi sempre più grande - che note di mezzosoprano - una magnificenza sentirla - Quanto ci manca

[mrluistena]

wow viva tebaldi

[Bquillamus]

What a marvelous performance! Tebaldi as Mezzo did it very well.

Shoot me if you want... but Tebaldi and Callas sound so similar in the lower registures, but Tebaldi's tone in the middle and higher registures are lighter and sweeter (though you can't compare her high notes to Sutherland and Sumi Jo)

[MrArthurovenezuela]

Increíble...La bella voz de Tebaldi cantando Amneris...claro, en 1972....definitivamente es la voz más bella del Siglo XX. Y su interpretación como mezzosoprano me sorprende....¡Qué maravilla!

@VivaMariaCallas And Isabel di Valois is not very demanding role. Think Madama Butterfly and Manon Lescaut are totally much more demanding, not to mention Aìda the most difficult role for a soprano, following by Forza and Gioconda the most heavy one (not as difficut as Aìda but heavier).

@jmccracken1963 : The june 1970 Un ballo in maschera the same, her voice is techniccaly very well studied and fited and it is an oustanding opera recording. It is true that by the end of 1970 (october/december) she sang around 9 Chenier preformances and she was in poor voice.

But in 1972 duets album with Corelli, this one she is in good form again, as she is in her 1973 Arie Antiche, of course , well in concert work , she alwayas found the best for her voice in any period of her long career

[adolfoa1961]

@jmccracken1963 I couldn't say which Manon I like more , I like both the '59 with Tucker and the '68 with Alexander broadcasts. The '68 is very interesting how after singing 39 or 40 Gioconda performances alltogether (in the '66/'67 and '67/'68 seasons) she sings this '68 Manon with the voice technically very well fited, only one can notice the middle of the voice tremble a bit, but just a little, but she sings wonderfully in '68 Manon.

@VivaMariaCallas :Tebaldi didn't interest to sing Don Carlo on stage simply because Elisabetta is not the main character, the protagonist of the opera.It is an opera for men.And Cavalleria , she recorded it in 1957 in glorious vocal shape and she thought singing it in the '60s but she preferred other roles.Think she sang many operas more much difficult than to sing a Cavalleria. (Aìda, Forza, Gioconda, Requiem, etc)
