100 Greatest Singers: CONCHITA SUPERVIA

THIS PROJECT IS RESERVED ONLY FOR THE GREATEST! Think so? Please comment!

Conchita Supervia, Mezzosoprano (1895-1936)

Giacomo Puccini - La Bohème
Musettas Waltz - sung in French - (Recorded 1931)

My personal opinion: She was an acting voice with charming vocal gestures. She initiated the Renaissaince of Rossini, and still today her recordings conciliate "pure Sensuality".

It is better to have vibrato than the awful wobbly, throaty, hooty singing heard today

[triptoheaveandho]

such a totally feminine voice

so sweetly sensuous....and i love the oldtime flicker vibrato

[Rigelcentauri58]

It was called * Voce infantile* which is unfortunally lost today.

She was great, a real Diva. Maravillosa cantante.

I never get sick of her voice! It is so sad to me that we do not have singers like her anymore.

I love this type of controlled vibrato - which I suspect has been all but eliminated today because of recordings. Supervia was wonderful- charm, elegance, art, character- the entire package! thank you.

ANITA CERQUETTIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII­IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII­IIIIII

MA POSSIBILE CHE ANCORA NON SIA IN LISTA, 100 SINGERS?????????????

[rubyedelman]

It is not a "strange vibrato" but a power of concentrated sound which in old times could not record better. Normally you would not hear that vibrato or it would be very little. Yes, I agree, there is no better musetta than her.........

[nicolaations]

no dejo de percibir el parecido con luisa tetrazzini, simplemente maravillosas ambas, se añoran voces así

[blktenor]

@contrafagot Yes that is a good question. Why IS it in French?

[zgopify]

Opera isn't having a big voice only, not about screaming, it's about singing, presentation and portraying a role with your voice. Who did this better, I ask you indeed. Noone sings this lovelier. Noone.
