She had a beautiful lyric voice, that had a dramatic edge that couldnt be beat, plus she had coloratura too.. She was a handsome woman as well... I love her, very musical.
Her Manon to Domingo's DesGrieux is unforgettably beautiful and thrilling. She was/is beautiful in form and voice. How I wish she had done more with him. She was also an accomplished poet and painter. Mil gracias.
What a voice ... it could make this aria white hot as I think it should be if the tempo was picked up a bit by the conductor... it's a bit too pedestrian to be exciting... not the sopranos fault though....
Way too slow tempo. No diction from Sass. Yet stunning phrasing, emotive and glamorous vocal tone and full size and scale. She was a marvel and clearly an unfinished singer.
100% correct Ghost.. beautiful tone, but loses me with the tempo... this aria is supposed to be dramatic, anxious, paranoid, and full of despair... sung beautifully but lacks the emotional build-up before the last maledizione.
Sorry you may have a problem with italian language. Sass Sylvia with potatoes in her mouth.????? Sorry i can't accept your comment. But Evert body have thé right to their opinions even it' 's make me sad to read but comments about SASS. So best regards
Indeed it’s terrible diction as her vowels are a mess and her lack of chest tones is also nonexistent. What a voice however. She did sound more normal in Hungarian renditions of opera.
