Cher Oneguin,

Mille mercis pour cet incroyable témoignage d'une artiste qui a su donner sa vie à l'art lyrique sans s'y perdre, et sans jamais céder ni à la facilité ni à aucune sorte de médiatisation futile...même tardive! La Olivero, en ces

temps si adorateurs de l'image,montre aux jeunes générations que le chanteur d'opéra n'est pas un "produit" jetable, mais une valeur (très) durable.

She is the greatest operalegend of the 20th century. The last verismo soprano. The last of the old school of breathcontrol. And beautiful tones.

Ever heard her as Marta in the totaly unknown opera La Guerra by Renzo Rosselini ? Amazing. ECLIPSE: EKRP-7.

Magda is neglected by the record-companys, like Gencer, Zeani, Moffo, and so on. For them there were only Callas and Tebaldi. Both great performers, but it is so nice to hear different voices, so we can make our own opinion.

@Samurai9 I never thought Olivero had a particularly beautiful instrument, but her technique is amazing and her interpretation and diction are excellent. The legendary mezzo soprano Marilyn Horne recommended that Olivero sing the title role Tosca in 1975 at the Met when she was 65 years old. You are entitled to your opinion, but its hard to take the opinion of a chorus singer seriously when singers much more accomplished than you think the opposite.

SEI STATA INVIATA DA DIO PER LAGIOIA DI CHI TI ASCOLTA.

The sheer legato sweep of Olivero's concept of this melody, and her total mastery of breathing, would be astounding from a singer in her prime. The knowledge that this great artist was 92 is both humbling and wonderful for me.

grazie per questo capolavoro musicale. l'interpretazione di Magda Olivero è eccezionale per la tecnica e la voce, impareggiabile il sentimento di amicizia

per Maria Callas che meglio non si poteva ricordare.

Grazie ancora per l'emozione che mi ha trasmesso

Merci, Onegin ! Ces posts sont toujours aussi pertinents pour notre époque "jetable".

Olivero didn't want to commit herself so solely to a commercial career, i think...she wanted to be with her family, instead of sacrificing it to being on the road always...it's that love that you can hear in her voice; not a hard career bitch, but a symphatetic person..
