This IS the aria I grew up with. The very first LP I had bought. Anna's Gilda was with me, rain or shine. When I first fell in love, I could already feel myself in the skin of Gilda thanks to this heavenly recording. Verdi has written this for her to perfect. It's almost degrading to the art that anybody else sings it. Now, I have grown up as an adult, and can chose any opera I want to go, as often as I wish, but, none has so far sung Gilda as perfect as Anna.

Ummm... is that not the E6 @4:53-4:54???

Ms. Moffo sort of owns this role, doesn't she. Divine. Everyone please try to get the staged movie (in Rome ruins) of her doing Lucia--its dubbed, of course, but is worth it with Ms. Moffo's acting intensity and terror in her eyes. She is without a doubt the most beautiful soprano ever--that sure doesn't hurt--don't forget--opera is part visual too!!

Beautiful!! No one did it better! We all miss you, Anna. RIP. Singing with the angels, now.

Anna Moffo, you sing this as from another world! I love this, and I'll always think of your OUT OF THIS WORLD perfection in every single way! Anna, I miss you! But I thank you for leaving to the world...your simply divine singing and your persona...There are no more words to try to describe both YOU and your voice. I thank you...I believe that one fine day, we will see you singing with the angels. Again, I thank whomever leaves this on for us poor mortals to hear. Thank you!
