Lina Pagliughi, "Qui sola vergin rosa" (1930s?) Live Performance

[@operabilia]

No words ...., class, pure legato and vocal line, sheer beauty! And she was already in a ripe age ... BTW she has kept her voice intact until one or two months before passing on. RIP bellisima.

[@Serhii_Uk]

The real coloratura, listening is true pleasure, I haven't had so much enjoyment in a long time. Bravi 👏👏

[@DinDanMee]

A wonderful clip! The art of singing which doesn't exist anymore.

[@MrSkylark1]

The SPLENDID SINGING by PAGLIUGHI is NON-EXISTENT TODAY.

[@SnowWhiteBR]

This is from 1940 during her concerts tour in San Francisco and New York with the flutist John Amadio. Two years before she voiced Snow White in the Italian dubbing

Non l'avevo mai vista cantare ! Era STUPEFACENTE ! Che facilità e il microfono è a metri da lei ! Oggi se non ce l'hanno appiccato in fronte non riescono a registrare nulla !

[@mariarosaesergiomarycib2492]

Andrea Lupini egr.il mio primo pensiero è uguale al suo!!!!!!!!l' ha detta giusta ,,STUPEFACENTE. !!!!MARI

[@fulvioarborio9578]

Il canto vero, ormai quasi estinto, non concepisce microfono se non per la registrazione: una voce veramente impostata riempie qualsiasi ambiente senza fatica

[@andrealupini6769]

@@fulvioarborio9578 concordo in pieno. La vera voce impostata deve avere queste caratteristiche.

[@chrisballengee]

Changed description to reflect commenters' opinion that this is Lina Pagliughi, not Olimpia Bonorat. Thanks!

[@mariarosaesergiomarycib2492]

Sublime divina stupenda da brividi !!!!!!

[@mrrkdino]

This looks and sounds like Lina Pagliughi who was born in New York, to Italian immigrants in 1907.

[@bbailey7818]

I agree this is certainly Pagliughi. But that sustained, expansive, finished phrasing is certainly worthy of Boronat.

Questo è cantare !!!!!!!!!!!! Mari

Straordinaria

[@luannefarmer]

colouratura

[@familypondman]

A little bit unstable but belcanto pur sang, with tekst in her hand, but it is also nowerdays done in that way, but men in power aren't interested, so the public leaves the Opera and young people choose better singers in light music, because they are!!!!

[@fulvioarborio9578]

If you listen to the piano, It sound is unstable as well, so I think it's the recording

[@fulvioarborio9578]

It's definitely the recording and her legato and breathing are impeccable

[@roideschats8799]

it is perfect bel-canto... the breath is perfectly stable and physically anchored, and the vibrato shimmers like a candle... the line is perfect, and the feeling deeply unspeakable. It is perfectly normal. (the rest is only due to the recording technique of the time).

[@diegomr6969]

INHUMAN ,................

[@roideschats8799]

from the time of the "white patriarchal society", where female singers were recruited (and admired) according to their talent and not their beauty...
