Guiseppe Verdi: Don Carlos Quartet

Taken from a 1986 Gala of Young Stars in Frankfurt.

Aprille Millo, Thomas Hampson, Anne Sophie von Otter and Paata Burchuladze sing the quartet Justizia, justizia mio sire from Verdi's Don Carlos. It should be interesting to notice that Hampson would not go near this role for another 20 years and this is as close to Eboly that Anne Sopie von Otter has ever been.

The evening ended with a video of Callas singing O don fatale. Not fair...

James Levine conducts.

@DrFernandoBicudo I agree!

[troppofiato]

Millo was phenomenal at this stage in her career - she had everything: the voice, technique, musicianship and temperament to be one of the greatest Verdi soprano of all time. Why she didn't have a bigger international career than she did is a mystery to me.

[DrFernandoBicudo]

Every note that comes out of Aprile Millo is so full of intention and artistry!!! Great!!!!

Millo was/ is a great Verdi Soprano. So like the young Tebaldi. No praise higher in my book. Brava.

Young Millo = Young Tebaldi

Ravishing tone

When I was 18 I saw my first opera. The Met. Il Trovatore. She was the standin for Eva Marton who was 'sick'. Millo was phenomenal. Sang with Pavarotti, Cossotto, Milnes. It was a great night and a great memory.

Who is always in great voice? No one, I have followed Miss Millo's career for over 20 years and have almost everything she ever sang, and for 95% she is in astounding and amazing voice. Go hate elsewhere. Brava Millo. Brava!!!!!!

A fabulous moment from Verdi's greatest opera--and Aprille Millo is in excellitent voice--which wasn't always the case.

BRAVA.  MILLO!

Glad Von Otter never sung Eboli...would have ruined her voice.

Okay now she sings Gudrune...but we are now many years later.

And wonderfull performances further!
