Victoria de los Angeles.Exultate Jubilate.ALLELUJAH! Mozart. 1959. Abbey Rd Studio No.1 LONDON.

[@SharonHampel]

She has lifted me to the stars. What a world that can contain such beauty! Hallelujah!

[@pauls.9228]

When singers knew how to sing, when they had solid techniques, understood style, taste, diction, elegance...This performance is so gorgeous, it brings tears to my eyes.

[@lochness11]

Yes Victoria had a very good solid technique learnt from her Professors in Barcelona, and her formative years singing in the evenings with the Ars Musicae ensemble in Barcelona before stepping out on to the International stage.

[@janwar68]

Uniquely wonderful, a perfect voice, true intonation, beauty, and a fine musical intelligence! 💐💖

[@emilioaguirre1604]

Grande como soprano y como persona. No me canso de escucharla.

[@jbut1208]

This is just lovely! This great singer does Mozart proud! Bravo!!!!

[@BellaFirenze]

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ No soprano has sung this as beautifully as my beloved Victoria. No one ever will. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@chjhrschh]

조수미가 더 잘 하는 듯 😂

[@sergiosanchezsanchez8712]

Honor a su nombre.👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👌🏻❤️👍🏻

[@clarayip.7408]

Victoria de Los Angeles, one of my favourite singers. She had a voice very unique in character. Warm, velvet-like, never forced, simply pleasant...

[@artdanks]

AMEN!

[@mckavitt13]

More than pleasant. Sublime.

[@AmusedCondorBird-pq7fk]

In this exquisite work, she is equally exquisite. Perfection, plain and simple.

[@mirengurutzelopez1312]

Maravillosa, bellísima voz, dicción perfecta...grandiosa soprano!!

[@thomaskrull6905]

The best version of this work. Angelical.

[@carmeloserafin5101]

ascoltata in un recital alla Scala...mi stupì per l'eleganza e la Naturalezza con la quale dominava ...un repertorio liederistico prezioso ...nei bis ...con un pubblico internazionale che l'acclamava ...ci deliziò con arie d'opera ...che fecero oscillare il lampadario famoso dagli applausi...e ci salutò come solo i grandi possono fare con una Ninna Nanna spagnola ...indimenticabile veramente per la Gioia del suo trasmettere il suo talento. Con la Cabajelle... e la Berganza allora erano di casa...e fu un bel momento..... forse irrepetibile per proposte e talento?...anche perchè con questa nuova peste i teatri soffrono e Niente sarà più come prima...per una lunga stagione di cambiamento sociali ...politici...e il Teatro pare lascerà una strage di Maestranze coi fichi secchi?...speriamo di no. Senza il teatro la musica diventa colonna sonora.

[@lochness11]

I agree absolutely. Thankyou for commenting.

[@carmeloserafin5101]

For nothing ...for me is natural ...to speach of opera music...in my life is the Mirror of my Spirit...good lucky !

[@jcfernandez3793]

Ohh Victòria you must be singing with the angels!!! So passionate, just straight from the deep of your heart. Awesome. You will be always a reference in all you did.

[@martinmariani8974]

Grande soprano, con note corpose ma dolci e sicure... si fa ascoltare piacevolmente.

[@mihordeadana2368]

The days of such glorious singers are long gone.

[@BD-pr2vr]

Probably, singers of today will be missed in a few decades as we miss now the old ones.

@@mihordeadana2368 "Think" is a verb, "thought" is a noun, and you obviously like living in the past.

@@mihordeadana2368 If I didn't, I could scarcely have become both an admirer and dear friend of Victoria de los Angeles, also an great enthusiast of the immortal Maria Callas, and a "fan" of luminaries as Zinka Milanov, Licia Albanesem Birgit Nilsson, Leonie Rysanek, Regine Crespin, Eleanor Steber, Giuletta Simionato, Rita Gorr, Regina Resnik, Leonard Warren, Tito Gobbi, Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau, Hermann Prey, Gerard Souzay, Jussi Bjoerling, Mario del Monaco, Carlo Bergonzi, Franco Corelli, James McCracken, Jon Vickers, Placido Domingo . . . among many others I was fortunate to see and hear in person at the Metropolitan Opera, Covent Garden, The Salle Garnier, the Salle Favart, the Bastille, La Scala, The Berlin Staatsoper, the Berlin Komischoper, The Narodni and the Smetana in Prague . . . so keep your e-mail mouth shut, lady.

[@mihordeadana2368]

​@ whoah you've spent some time elaborating that reply. It's nice that you got to listen to all of these singers, but musical taste is not only acquired by passively listening. One can listen to thousands of hours of music and still not get the subtle difference between good singing and bad/ mediocre singing.

[@MusikPiratCH]

@@mihordeadana2368 Unfortunately you're right! It would be really great if each generation would have the joy of great singers. But you're right today I only see one mezzo (Elina Garanca) who comes close to singers like Victoria de los Angeles (together with Elisabeth Schwarzkopf) also my favorite soprano!

[@Elcaracolpeludo]

Mi lírica favorita, por encima de Caballé, Callas y Arteta

[@artdanks]

BRAVA!!! I love VdlA. She was magnificent!

[@christianbrodiez5287]

Victoria de los Angeles est toujours (en 2017) ma soprano lyrique préférée sachant que , adolescent , je l avais entendue à la radio interpréter la 5ème des bachianas brasileiras de Heitor Villa Lobos vers le milieu des années 1950

[@jaysoper3974]

the best music to come out of Abbey Rd.

[@gobluts]

she was a superb donna anna with san francisco opera in '62

[@mckavitt13]

I remember this well, a jewel set in both Mozart's & Victoria's crowns. I love how the latter, never professing to be or known as a Mozartian soprano, mastered every so-called problem posed by the best composer for the voice (my opinion). Her virtuosity is always in service to the music, the recitatives, truly sung on the breath, are a wonder of pulsating significance. Molte grazie for this rarety in both quality & availability!

Not professing, but she did debut as the Countess Almaviva at the Teatro Liceo in 1945, and can be heard in a splendid Metropolitan Opera broadcast from the early 1950s, marred only by the use of the piano in the recetatives. Her two arias were extraordinary.

In addition, she sang Donna Anna at La Scala in the early 1950s and again twenty years later in San Francisco.

[@mckavitt13]

@ I agree 100%. 1952 at the Met.

[@lisaguerrero1671]

She’s very good!! Thanks!

[@davidmolina7543]

Breathtaking her singing is beautiful.

[@mariagloriasantana3013]

Linda! Will sing this song in your homage. Vou cantar em sua homenagem!

[@richmerne3593]

Don't know why, is it Freudian? but I could listen all day to the female voice - most especially Victoria's beautiful one. That's not to say that I don't love all beautiful voices but give me the great soprano every time. Maybe it's the sweetness of it!

[@danbarthy3819]

Sublime! Brava! 👏👌

[@lochness11]

Yes. Victoria de los Angeles could sing almost anything with grace,warmth and style. :)

[@danbarthy3819]

That's true ! Thank you!😉

[@poupeeroca5684]

quisiera verla y escucharla en Falla.La vida breve.

[@mckavitt13]

Oh, i almost forgot. The legato is to die for (sigh)

[@lochness11]

What can I say in reply to your comments? Absolutely nothing-----you put into words what I'm thinking-----and far more eloquently. Multae gratiae. :)

[@pablocarrascosamiguel7680]

La coloratura ligada era impecable, también en su Rossini... De manera natural, como sin esforzarse, simplemente porque es así como tiene que ser.

[@mckavitt13]

@ Mine too. Yet it all started w her Mimi! I was 18. And 19 when I met her for the 1st time... at Carnegie Hall. The whole period passed like an on-going dream. She had all she needed... plus that extra something. And her entry onto the recital stage w that proud toss of her head... irresistible!

[@mckavitt13]

@ She could only change one's life "for good". What an artist!

[@operaloverhro3407]

Die Aufnahmen unter Boult und Goldsborough, falsch geschrieben?, sorry, sind Meilensteine! Freudespendend!

Victoria dels Angels la millor

[@КонстантинЕлисеев-э7н]

Голос ОЧЕНЬ хороший, но, к сожалению, недостаточно подвижный для этой партии: 4:12, 12:00, 14:27 - фальшь в пассажах. Верхнее "до" в финале не дотянула (тоже фальшь - 15:16). Лучшие исполнения: Бартоли 1994 года, Флеминг 1997 года, Шварцкопф 1948 года, Лучия Попп. Victoria de los Angeles - прекрасная певица, просто это не совсем ее репертуар, хотя голос - моцартовский, а низ и легато - просто великолепны

[@罗美芝]

听不懂语言，但还是喜欢听，😅

[@mckavitt13]

The President of the Fundación usually spells her name Helena Mora

[@Angelicantar]

¡Regia!

[@christophersmith551]

Heard her in the Festival Hall in the 60s and then in the 80s in Dunfermline. Voice had not aged. Apparently she had to continue singing because of Franco Spain’s antediluvian divorce laws. Could stand corrected.

[@jjlungdoc7472]

It is my understanding that she had a special needs child who required a higher level of financial support.

[@Shahrdad]

When singers could sing coloratura without gargling or aspirating and could trill. What happened??

[@normancascioppo1456]

She is wonderful, the conductor is a dud.
