This channel is dedicated to the great Romanian soprano Roxana Briban, that tragically passed away in 2010. Roxana Briban was a lyrico-spinto soprano with a great agility, easily recognized through her beautiful and distinct timbre. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roxana_Briban
Listening to her live and later to her recordings and talking to her fans I realize that despite her short presence in the opera world...she left a treasure behind. Roxana is immortal, through her beauty and her art,she is a DIVA...an universe of infinite mystery...May she rest in peace!
Valletti come sempre bella voce e stile impeccabile e grande comunicativa. La voce della Carteri piuttosto anonima, piu' accettabile in Puccini, ma qua' lanciata allo sbaraglio in un ruolo e un autore non suoi. In questa riproposta venne tagliato tutto il Rondo' finale di Elena. Montserrat era ancora al di là da venire.
Having sung on the same stage with him in 1984, I can say that he was the only tenor to even be considered in the same sentence with Franco Corelli. He was a nice, humble man as well. Search for Corelli singing the same aria. They are of the same ilk.
There are people who think that Deutekom her coloratura is sloppy, she cann't handdle the Role of Norma and are mad if you know otherwise and let them know! Brava Deutekom for ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sicuramente il direttore ha staccato un tempo troppo largo, ma la Souliotis sontuosa con il suo magnifico timbro. L'anno successivo al Maggio Musicale Fiorentino con Sanzogno e un tempo leggermente più mosso ancora più drammatica ed efficace la sua interpretazione.
Antonietta Stella with the class , beauty of tone and the perect frasing for Verdi and the Italian repertory The model which laks today Brilliant in a most diffficult aria and caabaletta. Antonietta Stella we miss you so much. She was perection in the way she enunciated each word. We could get every word she sang.
....sentita anche in Traviata, Batterfly, brava e ancora brava, troppo poco apprezzata forse perché non si è mai data arie da superdiva come tante altre galline.
