Grande duetto con due voci nel pieno delle proprie possibilità … entrambe superbe e altere come due regine! Bellissima prova, indimenticabile e perfetta!!
Elizabeth I and Mary, Queen of Scots have met many times on stage and on screen - from Friedrich Schiller's early 19th-century play Mary Stuart, to Saoirse Ronan and Margot Robbie's dramatic head-to-head in Josie Rourke's film, Mary Queen of Scots. Yet in reality the two women famously never met. However, this is a great scene.
The Stuarda autograph score wasn’t discovered until 1991, so what you’re used to hearing is not what Donizetti had in mind. This performance follows the new critical edition, although it may not be your taste.
Oh well, ok that's why I thought this final was so much more beautiful and spectacular than usual, and I couldn't understand why. There's no comparison. This version is absolutely superior to the other one.
@@normanzurich2781 Vivo e più creativo che mai! A 93 anni suonati fa ancora regie esemplari (il suo Barbiere di Siviglia dell'estate scorsa, a Pesaro, era incantevole)
Oh, you mean the one where Gencer screams her guts out? Yeah, that’s just about the antithesis of bel canto, although a lot of people like the verismo approach. 🤮 Btw, it’s SHIRLEY, who I saw many times in New York.
The fast pace loses the drama of the Figlia Impura di Bolena scene. That key phrase is not accented with long notes. The confrontation duet, the final sound like a modern disco song. The scene does not save even Antonecci's precious interpretation
How come she has no chest voice at all and thought it would be aaaamazing to sing a role that depends on it? A nice voice with a good timbre and a very secure top, but the lack of chest is sad.
