One of the best renditions of this aria i've ever seen. Agnes Baltsa is Eboli in this production from Salzburg, conducted by Von Karajan.

  • I've never seen this aria sung with that passion and such real "fiereza". She is so powerful and her expression, her highs and low register demonstrate a perfect control of her voice and musicality above everything. Balsta is the best Eboli that I've heard in my life ( and I've heard many). !Bravo !

  • I totally agree with you.  Exciting...yes. Over the top...I wouldn't have it any other way. Vocally perfect...who is? Would I pay to see this...absolutely. I have the dvd and love it (for her). This and Simionato's '63 CAV with Corelli are two of my favorite performances. As you can tell, the audience is listening...

  • Sä underbart!!!

    

  • @Sorrentodellesirene LA VOCE e lo strumento che esprime e trasmette la lirica italiana!Senza LA VOCE la lirica è morta.DalLA VOCE si serve ogni artista lirico.

    Non c'è nulla di 'sentire',questa è la voce del soprano corto.

    Giusto,è il risultato finale che conta...è una interpretazione mediocre.

    'Sentire' cosa?!?

    VOCE poco adatta à questo repertorio.

    A tutti quelli come lei voglio dire:

    LA VOCE e uno strumento( Stradivari)e quello che conta in un teatro è LA SUA BELLEZZA ARTISTICA!

  • Agnes is my favorite mezzo soprano. She is brilliant, passionate, and has a great voice! I love the way she gets involved with the character she is playing and I deeply enjoyed her performance in Carmen and as Cherubino.

  • ..... mi FECCE.. :-/

  • she is pure magnificence !

  • A tutti quelli che la criticano: sapete che esiste altro oltre alla voce in teatro? La presenza scenica, l'interpretazione del personaggio etc.. e qui sento una Eboli in procinto di una crisi di nervi: e' combattuta dal terrore e dall'ansia e nell'ultima parte dalla brama di salvare Carlo. Sentite quel " Gran Dio!!" l'invocazione d'una donna disperata com'è Eboli in quel momento. Vocalmente fa tante cose non sane però è il risultato che conta.

  • I love Baltsa. She had a remarkable career as a mezzo. Her Carmen is fabulous. Her bel canto repertoire is fabulous (Queen Elisabeth in Stuarda) her Venus in Tannhauser is fabulous. But here she's past her prime and is not using the purity of vocal technique in the least except the middle part from 1:55-4:00 "o mia regina". But she is screaming & shouting the words, abusing her voce di petto (chest voice). This role doesn't suit her. It's great only on a theatrical level

  • Superbissime !
