Anna Moffo sings La Sonnambula (vaimusic.com)

[@DominicR-y5d]

Wonder why so little remembrance of Anna Moffo---she's right up there with the greats of her time!

[@1trschaefer78]

I feel that she is remembered kzbin.info/www/bejne/n6OXfGaej5ajnLssi=QcGJC7YoFZhlk5xu

[@glgree1]

Her voice spoke to me like no other soprano when I was in college in the early 1970s... I was in a world of Sutherland, Scotto (early), Nilsen, Schwarzkopf... all through recordings, of course. But Moffo spoke to my soul like no one else. To this day, her early healthy singing is unmatched, in my humble opinion. And don't get me wrong, I love a number of sopranos old and new!

[@amandaleopold1687]

Wow! The purity of her tone is incredible. What every soprano tries to achieve. This was truly moving.

[@santiagodejesusgallovargas6622]

She was capable of transmitting every feeling with her voice, of reaching anyone's heart just by hearing her sing.

[@veneral1000]

in my opinion one of the best soprano of all the times

[@claralechuga2671]

Callas is my fav. But why haven't I heard of Anna... hmm

[@sunflower1588]

The best ever❤

[@alextolman6406]

Yes ,she was the best!

[@kgarmaker123]

Its no wonder she had a big career.. She could sing, she was musical, she observed dynamics and she was NEVER boring. I love her.

[@lundilar]

Anna Moffo remains unsurpassed for sheer tonal beauty.

[@jbell0243]

That tenors timbre is stunningly beautiful. Yes he sobs, yes he wouldn’t be fashionable today, but the TONE.

[@paulovp789]

Operas from XIXth century are something from the past. You cannot expect it to be "fashionable"...

[@Shahrdad]

Such breathtakingly beautiful, idiomatic, and natural singing from such a breathtakingly beautiful woman with a breathtakingly beautiful voice, which had a core of sadness. Moffo at her best was one for the history books.

[@himmatsingh1593]

Totally agree.

Same with me!

with me this is the best version of "Ah! Non creder mirati" !!!

I listen to her everyday and every night. I just love her so much.

[@mckavitt13]

Hardly recogniseable, tho' already beautiful. What a voice, what a singer!!!!

[@masteroftheeouse]

I don't think this lovely woman could have sung a bad note, even if she tried. Brava Anna Moffo! Such a beautiful voice!

[@mariomazzi7894]

She did sing some ugly notes when she changed her repertoire, but this singing is celestial.

[@gmihut]

One of the best performance from Dec.1959,UNIC!...love all of it!

[@viverito]

I will be buying this video. Wonderful. I love Sonnambula and I love Moffo in this.

[@HoangAnhNguyen-bl7pc]

her voice was beautiful like her

[@cinziavidali411]

Una splendida interpretazione

[@bcndn63]

others may try, but this is it...she's amazing...pure art!

[@windstorm1000]

I adore Ms. Moffo. She was a small town Italian girl from Penn. who made great. She was a great actress in addition to being a great singer---I think this is what people respond to also----You can't fake the acting, though there are some great singers who really didn't care about the acting part of the job (we won't mention who)

[@cultivandoflores3990]

La sonâmbula! Uma linda e romantica obra de Bellini! Meraviglioso!

FANTASTIC !!!!!

А какой тембр завораживающий, актерская игра! Ей подвластно все, даже оперетта! Сколько было и есть великолепных оперных певиц, но Моффо - это чудо!

[@ВоовцоОцоцл]

Да ещё и красоты необыкновенной! ❤

[@familypondman]

The most beautiful for sure and also the best without exception, while personal taste should not decide!!!!!!!!!!!!

WOW! And longer words of great passion in praise of Moffo's voice, it's tremendously compelling, not to mention the pleasure of watching her sing! With thanks to her devoted student Dayna for bringing this video to my attention! ANDY

Grande La Moffo, best performans, great Opera !

Thank you. Danilo Vega is Elvino.

[@narushimamitsuo816]

No singers but Anna Moffo interpreted Bellini's song correctly. Although she sung many his songs, this is the best among those. It means this singing is ,I dare say opera historical.

[@himsingz]

Narushima Mitsuo agree... but the snobs ignore her.

[@zalphagotango342]

I heard about this piece a while ago, and right after that I sought to find the best version I could. I heard many, Netrebko's, Callas', etc., and while they were all good none really stood out. And then I came across Anna Moffo's version. I'd never heard of her, but I decided to give it a listen. It only took about ten seconds of hearing her sing for me to realize that her interpretation was something else. It also occurred to me that in the other interpretations none of the singers sounded like they were asleep, but Anna's definitely did. In all of the versions I listen to now, I'm curious to know how 3:44 - 3:53 is interpreted, and Anna's version here is probably my favorite.

[@NLidar]

@@zalphagotango342 Seriously have you ever heard Callas'?

[@Andrea-hm1ix]

First of all, this is not a Bellini song, but part of an opera aria. Secondly, here she is singing in the studio where all sounds are equalized. Singing in the theater, for hours, is completely different. The mere fact that someone compares this version with one of Callas' represents no one here, I'm sorry, knows opera singing and opera. The singer's voice is weak and small.

[@gmihut]

Beautiful and deep...

Hi! the tenor is Danilo Vega. la sonnambula is a very beautiful opera. this the first time i've seen this movie version where action takes place in a Swiss village,only reason is i heard of it is though the metropolitan opera on tv with Natalie Dessay singing it. completly different from film. the performance is wonderful. I love opera!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@anneethuguesdastarac1451]

Thanks you very much for the name of the tenor, he is really wonderful !

@kgarmaker123 Yes sir!!!

[@brentaudi9354]

Before her nose job. I found her voice changed quite a bit after her nose job. Her top notes became very Pinched in sound. I love her non the less.

[@DCFunBud]

It is strange hearing Moffo's voice come out of this unknown girl. Does anyone recognize the other male singers?

[@himsingz]

Moffo had a nose job in 1960s. She looked different after that of course. Seeing how lovely she looks here, wonder why she got her nose tweaked? Probably was a fashion with celebrities then.

[@DCFunBud]

@@himsingz I think she had two nose jobs. This is after the first, but before the second. She wound up a great beauty.

[@talmadge1926]

This is hauntingly similar to Adelina Pattis 1914 recording

[@ЯнаРозенфельд-и5г]

СЕРДЦЕ ЗАБОЛЕЛО ОТ ЕЕ ПЕНИЯ . 😢😢.

[@Rapture1987]

@moghedien13 Anna Moffo had a "nose job" at some point in time (subsequent to these older performances) - so she looks different in her later films.

[@vivegedda]

@moghedien13 I find it true!

[@violetavalery]

the tenor!!! who is he?

did she changed her nose?

НОС БОЛЬШЕВАТ , НО ОН ЕЕ НЕ ПОРТИТ. КРАСАВИЦА, БОГИНЯ , АНГЕЛ.

[@WQ673]

At first, Mdm. Moffo was not dramatic, she was lyric, so its not to compair with Callas, because both are very different actors, but her voice was better she was more nice, she made no scandals and did always her duty by singing, so she was in her time for me the real Primadonna assoluta of the both ! She had sung very mutch operas and also operettes. Very sad, she is gon too early.

[@ikmarchini]

Time stops.

[@edengirl17]

This is ANNA MOFFO? I kind of doubt it..hmmm the voice..maybe..but the face,,

[@glgree1]

Yes, it's Anna!

[@ЯнаРозенфельд-и5г]

И ТЕНОР КАК ХОРОШ! 😢😢 ПРЕКРАСНОЕ СОЧЕТАНИЕ ГОЛОСОВ.

[@bigus]

i think if she had great natural technique but like so many singers didn't know when to say no, or failed to keep working on her technique daily to keep it pure. her sound is gorgeous. perhaps she is the female distefano in being natural but losing her voice early for lack of study, i dont know but i love her and her sound, its too bad she had trouble. i have yet to hear a poor recording of her but it seems to be common knowledge that her voice suffered. perhaps the music she sang was too much.

[@mckavitt13]

Why the surgery on her nose? She's distinctly & distinctively beautiful here. I guess she wanted the TOTALLY irresistible looks she had later. A knockout, however you look or listen. She is totally convincing. A much better singer than Callas. Sorry, Maria fans, I loved her too, but really.

[@himsingz]

mckavitt13 original nose was stronger... more character.

[@mckavitt13]

@@himsingz I believe it.

[@windstorm1000]

Yes, I read from another poster that she didn't study enough--and that her husband worked her too much to make lots of money. I suppose both of those things will contribute to a decline in voice quality. Still, while it lasted she was enchanting----

[@jocmuc1]

[@lil_weasel219]

Before the nose job

[@jmahlon]

Anna Moffo had a nose job in the 60s.

[@davidpowers1108]

By looking at the photos, I believe it was the Summer of '63 that she had the nose job. Fortunately, it was done well although I am not sure whether it played a role in the vocal decline at the end of the 1960's or not!

[@compagnodiviaggio]

Ma la Callas è sempre la Callas.........

[@toninogalie2794]

Secondo me non si possono fare paragoni: ogni voce ha una sua particolarità. Certo la Callas è la Callas e la Moffo è la Moffo.

[@mistersmith1883]

She's great! but callas is way better. Compare moffos Caro nome to callas Caro nome or moffo regnava nel silenzio. No contest. Callas could sing anything perfectly. Moffo never got there. Callas Luciano Pavarri were the last to truly sing in the style of bel canto.
