  • Yes, this sounds like the historic live recording with Simionato, Bastianini and Corelli--just wonderful. Thank you too for some beautiful photographs of this great artist.

  • Hi! Thanks for the feedback!!! =)

    Indeed, this is from the live recording with the cast of stars you've mentioned!

  • Excuse me, do you happen to know if this was at La Scala? Olivero is otherworldly in this moving, melancholic aria, and she was partnered by three more greatnesses: Corelli, Bastianini, Simionato! What more could one wish for?

  • Hello! This recording is from Teatro di San Carlo, 1959. IF I'm not mistaken, it was her return to the stage after years of retreat.

  • Superb.

  • Olivero is legend.

  • Great Olivero!! no more word, need no word... Thank you for uploading

  • La escucho, la escucho y siempre es capaz de despertar la misma sublime emoción. En este día cumple 101 años de edad ¡Felicidades Dame Magda Olivero!

  • Королева веризма!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • The comparison with Callas is apt . Magda Olivero also worked on her voice until it became a great vehicle of expression. Every nuance is captured here and if this can seem too much in a recording it would have been very exciting live in the context of a theatre.

  • Une belle intensité,parfois surchargée,surtout à la fin.

  • This is unbelievable.

    Thank you.

  • ¡Sin palabras! ¡Todo emoción! ¡¡Qué belleza de interpretación! ¡Maravillosa señora Olivero!

  • Bravissima! She has always been one of my favorite sopranos. Such intensity in her singing and the pronunciation is always perfectly clear.
