Sadly they didn’t included Beverly Sills who’s was not only one of the greatest sopranos of all times (when her voice was at her peak) but also when she retired from singing gave decades to the arts helping young artists and raising money for the Met and the NYCO and the opera in general. It’s very sad we don’t realize how much we owe Sills and how much we need to learn from her.
@fourniturev She was amazing in almost anything she did. Have you heard her Mexico Traviatas? It sounds as if Flagstad had learnt to sing coloratura. I highly recommend. :)
callas might not like Carmen but she was one of the best carmen :) and that live recording of la traviata is the best la traviata recording, no matter crack or not. I doubt if lohengrinT is really callas fan.
Me encanta que deje su legado .Es muy cercana a sus alumnas es tan fundamental .Felicitacionessiga su didáctica con ángelical ternura .Ésta es una carrera tan fantástica siempre y cuando se estudie con toda el alma .
i have a question to Italian reader: why does the language teacher stress out to pronounce "ricordo" with an open "o", in Italiano Standard it is closed. Is it an comon sence to sing every o and e in the open variation? How does this apear to an Italian native speaker? For me as a German wrong vowels are annoing.
Violetta must sound sweet. For no sweeter opera character exists. Callas just sings badly here, as often. But what intelligence! What musicality! Her Tosca really works! Great singing!
@@mckavitt Not only mine, as a matter a fact, you are in minority with disputing that Callas Violetta was not a good one. But everybody has their tastes and we all should stick to listening to what we like. Good bye.
Daniela d No, I am not in the minority amongst opera critics for this role. There are several sopranos who are considered to be better as the adorable & so wronged Violetta.
