0:17 and 3:21 comparison. Nilsson's bb5 here is more comfortable, she attacks the note straight on, unlike Tebaldi who is scooping here.

If we are faithfull to the original score, I have to applause Steber!!! Wonderful stamima and brightness. In the traditional ending sure we have winners in Tebaldi, Cerquetti, Callas! For me Caballe push too much her voice, the high note of Nilsson is a Natural Wonder but the fraseggio of the italian sound is too alien. Ponselle was one of the greatest Leonoras but the recording is acoustic and cut the size and beauty of her voice 😖 And, yes, I also miss Leontyne Price here 😊

@Shahrdad Жыл бұрын

I agree with you. I actually prefer the traditional ending to the written ending; it seems more dramatically affective than jumping from the F to the B-flat. Nilsson's voice never sounded idiomatic in the Italian repertoire. As you say, it was just too alien. Even her Turandot never really worked for me. Callas's recording was done right near the end of her massive weight loss, and though she still had some of the vocal heft of her heavier days, the voice was slimmer and she was starting to deal with the widening of the vibrato that came along with this massive change in her physique, but her interpretation of the aria is truly heartbreaking. I have yet to hear someone sing "Alvaro io t'amo" with the same explosion of emotion on the word "t'amo."

The most clear articulation and unmatched tonal quality here belongs to Leyla Gencer, her "Son giunta" from 1957 performance is out of this world. All the presented sopranos are fantastic but in this piece I would prefer Tebaldi and Gencer, of course.
