Montserrat Caballé gorgeously Floating above all else in the magnificent Verdian Act II Finale

[@jiggsuhhh]

La Superba caresses my heart, gently pries it open, and fills it with love, uniting me with her God and mine. She was spendid. I do not for an instant fault God for calling her home to sing for him.

[@anacletwilliams8315]

Yes, she was spendid.

[@joseplluistomas9010]

Caballé inmensa,superba,Leonora de otro mundo,Caballé i Callas son la opera,la magia del canto,la interpretación vocal,la fuerza de los sentimientos,la belleza,la EXcelencia

[@hakneyj]

Nobody could float quite like her. Superb breath control.

[@debbiejohnson2789]

Nobody else had this kind of breath control!

[@phil2u48]

This is what we once experienced when we went to the opera. I haven’t heard much like it in years. I saw and heard Caballé three times.

Oh, Phil, You were so lucky and smart to have been there! I'm sure you'll treasure those times always!

[@sergiosergio8095]

Cette représentation à Orange en 1972 est historique. Caballe est somptueuse du début jusqu'à la fin (l'air "d'amor sul l'allee rosée" est une pure merveille) le rôle semble composé pour elle. Brava la superba !!

[@michaelroberts6894]

She was one of the best singers of the last century , hands down!

[@SymphonyBrahms]

One of the legendary sopranos.

This is one of my favorite scenes in all of Verdi. Mozart is famed for his ability to combine voices in ensembles, but the Mozartian ensembles have such heavenly harmony that I rarely get the sense of the individual characters interacting. (He also tends to pair voices in the ensembles, which muddies their individual motives.) There are only three voices here, but I love the push and pull of their complex interactions. Leonora and Manrico's vocal lines seem to gravitate towards each other, and there's the sense of the poor Count always trying to butt into their world. At the same time, Manrico and the Count have a rich frission in their vocal interplay, which of course there should be, as they are rivals and (subliminally, at this point) siblings. Verdi portrays all of that, and the rhythmic drive is incredible. However -- the only truly satisfying reading (for me) is the one with Karajan and Callas, because he keeps the tempo at a fairly steady pace. I realize that it's traditional have extreme tempo changes in this scene, but that doesn't do it for me -- for me, that deflates the drama. As for the performance at hand, Caballe is a fantastic Leonora, at least at this phase in her career, and this scene shows off the strengths of her voice beautifully: long, aching lines and beautiful coloratura. Thanks for the upload.

[@LohengrinO]

I also love this one... Callas seems to suspend in a sweet way above all kzbin.info/www/bejne/nX62o6qHrpyDd5o

This performance is so perfect that even if Caballe had only sung it once she would have had a top rank In Grand Opera for History!

[@cavortionist]

Mesmerizing performance. Just wow!

[@LohengrinO]

Caballe in her prime... La Superba

[@jmiller05]

Caballe actually looks beautiful and elegant here...And her singing is so refined and ethereal. I normally baulk at too much pianissimo in Verdi's music, but here it is perfectly blended into the score. Her phrasing at 2:14 is absolutely exquisite. Thanks so much for these Caballe videos, it really reminds me why I fell in love with her voice :)

[@LohengrinO]

3:37 she crowns everybody with a Mgnificent sound and it is coloratura :D it is FANTASTIC

[@jmiller05]

Just wonderful, everything articulated and clear... Caballe in her prime was a legendary singer no doubt.

[@guymerola1033]

I've often been curious if she ever sang or recorded the Rachmaninoff Vocalise. Seems her voice would have been perfect for it.

she did sing the Vocalise in several recitals in the 60's

This is impeccable. Art in its highest form. (Though I will be eviscerated for this comment , I feel in the latter part of her career, her voice always sounded a bit unsupported.)

[@colettedunne9407]

vivemafille when she was 36 years old and at the height of her career she had a cancerous tumour removed from her throat, but for her to come back from that and continue is nothing short of incredible.

[@robertmcnamara5407]

A question: is that Heather Begg in the cast?

[@dimibohm]

Lohengrin O maybe you explained it on other videos, but I couldn't find it, and also I'm not complaining, just out of curiosity: why these uploads don't informe us the piece's details like name or date? Any special reason? ps.: I love your uploads, titles and description.

[@jmiller05]

dimibohm This is the end of act 2 of Trovatore from the 1972 Orange performance.

[@LohengrinO]

1. I dont always remember, 2. People are so k nowledgable they always report it, 3. They add up to the mystery and enhance the overall listening effect

[@Nacidodelmar]

dimibohm youtube is a website where people exchange videos and other materials at their own discretion of course there are polices about the nature of the materials but none dictate that Lohegrin O. or anyone else have to follow any particular memo or any rules to share what they want to. I personally enjoy the way he or she present those MAGNIFICENT documents, I detect certain sense of humour freedom and a tremendous confidence. Let us all enjoy and learn..

I'll tell them the truth about you my memory is very long. Madame price we'll have to discuss this you decide you are the queen.

[@magdaschweitzer1472]

In my humble opinion, she did not even have to try acting, because all the acting came across her voice. Even when I do not understand the words, I know what she is singing about. Her soul was always in it.

[@debbiejohnson2789]

Wade Llewellyn , that’s BS that she can’t act. She does beautiful acting which maybe not be all over the place, but she does it with grace & dignity!
