"The ultimate vocal phenomenon of all Times - Demonic Coloratura"
I do share your enthusiasm, dear friend. Thanks for this wonderful post.

@LohengrinT I believe that for sure... She ruined her rather flexible nice coloratura, pushing herself, into dramatic rep.. that she had no business singing, and sounded like a screeching crow... She even acquired a wobble in emulation. They say imitation is the highest form of flattery.

that is always the fate of the artists who envy and copy other artists. In the case of Scotto of course it was something more, she was obsessed with Callas she actually believed that if Callas hadnt existed it would have been her in Callas' place ... what an idiotic and probably psychotic woman :)

@LohengrinT Aint that the truth.. I watched a vid of Scotto in Lucia, where the woman is so over the top in the mad scene... I mean... it is so clownish and characture.... it is unbelieveable.. The singing is fabulous.. however, in 1967 way better than that Devia , Gruberova, and all those other wanna be Lucia's ..Gencer is a mess from the start.

Rudolph Bing passed to the history of Opera as the ugliest and meanest Queen who prevented la Callas from singing in "his" House. He acted in his times as the greatest Callas rival, greater than the two clowns Scotto and Gencer
BTW, who is the baritone please?
