No one has ever sung this aria better in the recorded age

[@RBP1963]

Wow ! Goosebumps of hearing her im an straordinary rendition of Imogene !

[@scataplaft]

So precious! The style is to live for! The cadenzas and ornaments are very bold (vocally) and elegant. Absolutly flawless. True Belcanto. Bravissima!!!

Credo che davvero qui ogni parola sia superflua: voce miracolosa e interpretazione da brivido ( come faceva quand'era ispirata). Bellini vive.

La mejor Imogene, un papel endemoniado

[@lynnefisher4167]

We are so incredibly lucky to have experienced Montsy. Those who come after will not know what a beautiful character she was. Will opera ever be the same? It will never have the best. We’ve had that.

No doubt, no doubt...she was the best Il pirate. I just listen to it again and fuck she was absolutely the best singing this and then la Callas. I will have to say that I don't want to say that Callas was not great, but vocally speaking, Caballé was better in this opera. Any way, again they both were the best Il pirate ever. I hope that they are having a cup of tea or coffee better in haven while we talk about them and for sure they are laughing about us saying...poor mortals jajaja. Opera will never be the same again, it was another time, it was a time, were the taste for the excellency still exist.

ricordiamola con una prestigiosa interpretazione...

[@eduardooliverosanca4138]

For me not even Callas surpasses Caballé, Il Pirate.

[@SilfredoSerrano]

This is quite good but I've heard her sing it even better in other performances!
