Vette - She is good but her middle voice lacks sheen and true beauty in this performance. Her studio version is better and I believe it was recorded a few years before this performance. By the early 80's her voice was shot; there's a ghastly Lucia on YT from that period and she wasn't old at the time.

Art Danks The as-yet-unsurpassed Queen of the Night of all times (both vocally and dramatically) The other interpreter I like in this role (though her characterization is entirely different from Moser's) is Zdzislawa Donat.
@jasonhurd43793 жыл бұрын
@@eduardobraivein8496 I agree. I saw Donat as the Königin der Nacht at San Francisco in 1975, and her interpretation, though more lightweight than Moser's, was yet focused and formidable, musicianly and accurate. I enjoyed it very much. And her Polish accent in the spoken dialogue (done in English) was charming!

@CASantos8 жыл бұрын
+chosentenore Agreed, never expected to hear such a heavy and metallic voice nailing what is often (for lack of a better term) "canary" repertoire. And it definitely suits the Queen in this aria. My only wish with her might be what you alluded to regarding confidence or at least being adventurous like Callas: in my opinion she could have handled also tackling some assoluta roles like Armida, Abigaille, maybe Lady M, etc.
@beachfanatic20108 жыл бұрын

Her staccati sound like a trumpet. Absutely fantastic. True dramatic coloratura should sound like this. She owns this role like no other. Damrau is often mentioned with this role. Her acting was great. It always was one of her winning features. Especially comedy and fierce roles. But her singing never was dramatic. And I think she didn't do good to her voice singing dramatic stuff. I always perceived her voice as something lighter and brighter. But not dramatic.
