Eleanor Steber - Porgi amor (Le nozze di Figaro) - 1952

[@unclelouie3828]

We love Eleanor. Fortunately I heard her many times.

[@NCinNYC]

I love the open throated quality of her voice, plus her soprano is so bright and spinning, too. And she's consummately musical as well.

[@Nunofurdambiznez]

Her tonal quality is outstanding!! It's even throughout the entire aria and very pure!

[@creutzfeldtjakob7]

When callas said, mozart should only be sung by big voices in either a mezzo forte or a piano but never with small voices… this must be it ❤️

[@monsieurw1]

Most lovely. Sometimes the Countess seems self-pitying, like a bleating victim, but this soprano seems much more dignified and poised. (Not to mention the beautiful voice, of course.)

The LOST ART of SINGING

[@АнастасияКолесникова-б4х]

Not lost yet! Very rare, but we will fight it back!

[@junefun55]

One of the greatest voices ever - in my opinion - pure beauty. Wonderful ease and control. 💛

[@sw5114]

Fantastically done. How does she compare with Kiri, or Schwarzkopf?

[@shirleyrombough8173]

Any god of love would grant ber pleas.

Fantastica! Stupenda! Sublime!

Gosto de assistir os vídeos da Eleanor. Além da voz maravilhosa, é possível perceber quando ela apoia.

[@AllenJones-w3p]

Rest in peace, Eleanor.

Ya no quedan voces así de clásicas pero hay parecidas.. Conformarse.. 😊😊

[@ransomcoates546]

Exquisite in every way possible.

Perfetta

[@crisha721]

lovely

[@stefanocautavera]

She sounds glorious. Truly one of the greatest singers ever.

[@purisermonisamator]

After all, it is an excellent barbarism to make a loud preface on the bars of the introduction to the aria! Ranting to Mozart is like signing on Raphael...

[@petersjj]

Personal fave...

[@petersjj]

***** Agree 100%

0:32, Porgi amore

[@ciociosan]

And? Amor and amore mean the same thing in italian.

[@Makenor13]

Find me a better Contessa in the whole history of recorded music! (Aulikki Rautawaara does a truly greay job too)
