Even through an old video the essence of this incredible and beautiful woman comes blasting through demolishing all doubt, all criticisms, all skepticism. She was and will always be the "REAL DEAL." When Maria Callas stated that you would be her successor, she knew exactly what she was talking about. The opera, "Norma" was my absolute favorite. You were given the baton from Maria Callas and ran with it and made it your own. I regret that I never got to meet you, but through your music and singing, I feel a part of you as if I had know you all my life. My Queen of Opera, RIP and continue to live in our hearts and in our lives... 🎵🎤💕
After all these years, there remains no one who can bring me to tears like Montserrat Caballé was able to do. How blest was the world to hear such a perfect voice, from a woman whose beautiful smile was so contagious? She was, quite simply, exceptional!
The first opera I saw in my life was Norma sung by Montserrat Caballe, Fiorenza Cossoto, Bruno Prevedi, Ivo Vinco and the debut of Josep Carreras, I’ll never forget it, it was simply a magical night of the year 1970 and it happened in my hometown Barcelona!! Caballe will always be in my heart!! Thanks for all the joy you have brought to my life!!
This performance is nothing short of spectacular. I was unbelievably fortunate to have seen and heard Madame Caballe sing Norma at La Scala, Thursday, January 30, 1975. Paid what was at that time a fortune for a fabulous orchestra seat - $30! A date like that you never forget!
Mrs Caballe - You have not only a celestial voice but heart as well. How can anybody not love you :) I hope the people take some passion for each other from you... for a better world. You clearly made mine... :)
Gerade wenn Mann denkt, dass er noch nie ein so schönes pianissimo gehört hat, knallt sie einem ein fortissimo um die Ohren, das die Aufnahmeregler zum Uebersteuern bringt...einmalig!
Magnifica ,straordinaria ed umile,senza ombra di divismo !! Una meraviglia ❤❤❤...a loro regalasti dolcemente rose ed a noi hai lasciato la tua lucente voce ❤❤❤
Me encanta cómo se preparaba Montserrat Caballé en 9:27. Primero sonreía para crear un ambiente distendido y, acto seguido, se concentra y lista para cantar como los ángeles!
J'ai fait écouter avec attention cette video à mes élèves : l'une d'elles s'est mise à pleurer tellement son âme était remplie d'émotion. Il faut dire que nous sommes ici hors du temps, lequel s'arrête, nous sommes dans l'antichambre du Paradis. Montserrat Caballe conduit son Art au plus au niveau. C'est en elle et rien ne peut l'en détourner, servie qui plus est par la technique italienne traditionnelle qui justement lui permet de mettre en valeur un tel talent. Merci, tout simplement : MERCI
He llorado muchas veces viéndola y oyéndola cantar. Hoy lloro su muerte. Maravillosa Montse, nos dejas el regalo incomparable de tu voz y de tu arte. Descansa en paz
Grande, mi faceva sempre ridere, aveva una personalità eccezionale ed a volte quando non le andava di cantare si " arrangiava " come poteva, ma come non perdonarla con quella voce d'angelo. In una Tosca alla fine invece di buttarsi se ne torno` indietro ridendo, indimenticabile Grande Caballe.
increíble concierto era un chamito cuando la vi ahi y estaba como en tercera fila , increíble la potencia de esta mujer te podía vibrar el pecho y el cuerpo con su potente voz.
maravillosa.........................................precioso.........................una pasada........................no en vano fue de las 4 mejores cantantes..........de todos los tiempos...................y eso no se puede superar...................los dioses la dotaron de una voz exquisita.................potente.....................imponente.............dulce.....y esfervescente..................
Addio La Superba ! RIP (1933-2018). One of the most riveting operatic personalities of the 20th century! Endowed with a sensational and ample spinto voice, her repertory was extremely diversified, from classical melodies, to Zarzuela, pop hits (scoring huge triumphs with pop artists including Freddie Mercury and Vangelis) and of course opera, in roles ranging from Alceste, Medea, Semiramide, Contessa in the Nozze di Figaro, Norma, Imogene, the Tudor Queens, Violetta, Leonora, Elisabetta (in Don Carlos: a most fabulous interpretation), Manon, Salomé (Hérodiade), Manon Lescaut, Mimi, Floria Tosca, Princess Turandot, Adriana Lecouvreur, Arabella, Salome and countless others, including rarely performed works, both in opera and on the concert platform! A God’s voice, her perfect breath control (only challenged by that of Leontyne Price) was awesome, her mastery of the pianissimi (frequently overused) and long-sustained high notes (glorious if somewhat metallic high-Cs and Ds ) were thrilling to the last and projected easily in the largest auditoriums. Her trills were sometimes lazy as was her vision of the prosodic line, which she knew how to accommodate to best fit with her own vocality! She was a marvelous, unique and generous Lady whom I was privileged to know and of whom I have fond memories. She leaves an undisputed and regal artistic legacy. One of the last operatic titans! Her radiant smile and indomitable sense of humour will be missed but her talent will last through her many recordings. She was an ambassador of peace and humility … Her voice will resonate high up there among singing Angels who will rejoice in welcoming her loving soul in a better world. RIP.
un envoutement ...very few people on earth have this unique gift of presence carrying beauty , kindness and above all making our time on the earth better , filling us with a joy , a hope , a faith in humanity that great things can happen , that human are capable of love communication and care for what is beautiful , conducive to better . She reminds me of the effect the Dalai Lama had on a crowd assembled here in Atlanta . wish we would hear , see , and make these people prominent in our medias ,: talk to your children about these eternal souls . every one on this planet knows who Trump is ,(!) I believe if we made room and noise for inspiring unique souls such as our departed prima donna this world would be definitely better
Fabuleux!! et pourtant en 1987, Caballé avait déjà montré des signes de fragilisation de sa voix. Pour autant, elle fut longtemps capable d'accomplir des merveilles avec cette voix unique, dont bien peu pourraient se prévaloir aujourd'hui. GRANDISSIMA!!!
Without exception, this rendition of L'altra notte in fondo al mare sung by Montserrat Caballe' is the best that I have heard. Her voice is well placed and the expression fully convencing. The bravos are well merited.
Elle fait vraiment ce qu'elle veut de la partition et on oublie la prosodie et l'articulation qui ne font que servir sa technique. Mais bon, on s'incline devant l'immense artiste et la qualité extrême de cette voix, large et laiteuse comme un lac alpin ...
Judy, I’ve no clue to the words, but the emotion is pouring out, of her, and this 👏👏👏👏👏standing ovation, is unbelievable, I can see she put her 💖and soul, into this performance!🌷👍
@@eugeniogentili1048 La Carteri estarà muy bien pero dejar en "niente" lo que transmite la Caballé dice poco sobre su capacidad receptiva y lo peor, desacredita su juicio sobre R. Cartieri y por tanto, desmerece y pone en tela de juicio los valores de la misma. Por cierto, en mi opinión dos grandes voces e interpretaciones, aunque a mí me ha emocionado màs la de la Superba.
She is the most outstanding soprano ever..... much better than Maria Callas.......viva Montserrat Caballe..........!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Bravo........!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Vove sguaiata, la Carteri che si è ritirata a 36 anni xché il marito era geloso e non voleva che andasse in giro x il mondo di un un'altro livello anche estetico ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-NlWW2CGUfts.html
