This aria is specially dramatic and Obraztsova has a very dramatic voice, her figure is tragic!

[Lohengrin]

-fantastic acting -and that is so! rare

-incredibly well supported and used chest tones with supreme volume

[Dymension]

Everyone talks about her chest voice. What they don't mention is that at the height of career she mixed very well. When she wanted, she had the full chest at her command, but when she wanted it was pure head voice and every blend in between.

@trumansf yes Galina Vishnevskaya - another russian great

[vladgrej]

сука настучала на саму Вишневскую мразь- гнида предательница.

Wow. The end, where she looks up and Don Jose is there. So chilling. Amazingly done.

[corellithebest]

Obraztsova is really FABULOUS! What a voice, and singing, acting!

[wenarto]

yeah, agree

[trumansf]

The best Russia ever produced? One of the best Russia ever produced.

[Lohengrin]

ahahahahahahhaahah

[romalisan]

What a marvellous voice, marvellous interpretation, marvellous eyes, marvellous woman... It was worth living until now just to hear her singing. And I do not care the least about Bs, even if they are flats, fats, natural, overnatural, undernatural, supernatural......
