Montserrat Caballe & Marilyn Horne

[@bogofusion]

When I was a teenager I worked backstage at the Cincinnati Opera at the Zoo. One evening I was assigned to wait upon Montserrat Caballe as she sat on a prop throne backstage to watch her husband perform in “La Forza”. She sent me to get her Hot Dogs and beer. (I did not know who she was). I drank my first beer with her and when her husband’s character was picked up on a stretcher to be carried offstage, she whispered to me. “He’s such a sow, they’re going to drop him”. She started a high pitch laugh and I started laughing too. We were sushed by the stage manager. (The only time in my career that I’ve misbehaved backstage was with Montserrat. I’ll never forget her. And of course, I have since discovered her sensational abilities. Oh the sweet ignorance of youth.

[@margiep1839]

What a delightful story about my all time favorite artist. Such a lucky teenager you were, and didn’t even know it at the time! What a wonderful experience-thank you so much for sharing-you made my day!❤

2 stimmen!! Horne genialer Ausdruck,caballe weiß wohl nicht was sie singt,so richtig aber gut daneben gesungen Bellinzona?? Und dann recigno,oje lahm Tempo,callas erfahren Trotzdem lieb ich die 3 Akon mit empfindlichen ohren

[@Spain1961]

Montserrat Caballé, the best soprano ever? I do not dare to go that far. Who could? The one who touches me deepest inside? Absolutely yes, no doubt about it.

[@Lawrence_619]

uh, I didnt say she was the best ever..

Montserrat is really the greatest soprano of the last century. When she sings it goes really deap in the hart and many times i have tears in my eyes. I was lucky to see hear more than 13 times live. And is was every time fenomenale. Gracias Montserrat per tutti gli belli anni di belezza.

What a privilege to hear these two of the greatest singers of the last century. Great respect for Marilyn Horne, but great love for Montserrat Caballe. Glad to know that they were such good friends in real life.

[@mikiohirata9627]

Cavalier and Marilyn Horne perform together. It's awesome. The voice and pronunciation are the best in the world, and they will never be shown again. One soprano, One Mezzo soprano The best of the best. We'll never see (hear) another like them.

[@flav2689]

Caballé - but yes❤

[@Lawrence_619]

to me?....she's among the top 4-5 sopranos, who ever sung a note. And I dont assess her greatness, simply because of the sheer beauty of her instrument. But her body of work and her vast repertoire, is as complex as it is impressive. She's right there with Price, Callas & Sutherland on the Mt Rushmore of Sopranos.

The first Lp I ever bought was by Monserrat Cabale and introduced me to Opera in 1964 at the age of 11 and for that I owe her a great debt of gratitude. I am sure she has touched millions of people like me who never met her, not only by her wonderful voice but her kindness and humour RIP

[@Leofiora]

She is alive in our hearts.!

[@debbiejohnson2789]

God bless you, Huw Davies. You were smart to recognize such greatness in singing at such a young age! I too was 11 at the same time you were. I didn’t know about her until this year during this awful pandemic. This was a silver lining in the clouds for me during covid. If I had know of her earlier in my adult life, I’d have flown anywhere to have seen her.

Come si fa senza di loro . Sarà impossibile sentire queste arie famose interpretate dai nuovi soprani W Montserrat caballé e Marilyn horn

[@melbapatti]

Both of them are around 57 years old here with 35 year careers behind them. OMG, how exasperating that must be to the new generation of singers whose bad schooling wears them out before they’ve sung half as long as these two titans. Marilyn was still singing concerts at age 67 in 2001, and her voice was steady, powerful and beautiful. Caballe sang Catherine of Aragon in Saint-Saëns’ Henry VIII (with Simon Estes) at the the restored Liceu in 2002 at age 69! Two great singers for sure, and best friends to boot.

[@weloveicecream2281]

So true.

Le due regine sono amiche , vere sincere. Caballè ha iniziato la carriera sostituendo il Mezzo per Lucrezia borgia edizione verrett, kraus, oncina...mitiche

It is true what Is said: Divas like this are not made any more.

[@JamesKoenig]

Incredible artists-- the world must wait for voices and artists to emerge who can even sing some of this repertoire. We were blessed-- Caballe's voice still resonates in my heart-- and Horne's as well (although, thank God, she is alive and well and sharing her legacy through teaching.) I can still see Caballe singing at the Hollywood Bowl. During an encore, in the spotlight a bug was flying back and forth in front of her. As she sang the most beautiful line, she suddenly and gracefully got extended her hand and did a "GOTCHA" and had a delightful look of triumph on her face without missing a beat. I was also spoiled that while I was a vocal student at Northwestern University she was my first Violetta in La Traviata-- with Nicolai Gedda as Alfredo at the Chicago Lyric Opera. Yes, I was spoiled....

[@josegonzalez-me7dk]

Este mundo es curioso: descubrí la ópera no hace demasiado tiempo, gracias a mi esposa; pero este Aria en la la interpretación de la Sra. Caballé es maravillosa. La primera vez que la escuché fue otra interpretación de dicha Sñora unos años antes y fue una experiencia tal que estuve días escuchándola interpretada por otras Sopranos, y para mi oído-oreja no tiene comparación. MARAVILLOSA.

Marilyn Horne was the first non Italian to win the Rossini medal.

[@doreenmillman7963]

I'm breathless....... Two of our greatest singers delighting us in magical program of Rossini ( never heard it sung like this ) and Handel. Marilyn Horne has been one of our greate st mezzo sopranos with an bright focussed sound that just glides ver the many runs in Rossini, as if she were just having a goggle ! SHE has a brilliasnt vocal technique that allow s her to be able to sing just about anything I can't think of any mezzo today who can come near thisbrilliant singer. It was a rare treat to hear her. Montserrat Caballe has been a favorite of mine for many years. A stuinning sound, of rare beauty. One of the things that makes her so outstanding, is her ability to interpret music with beautiful phrasing and so much tonal variety.. She always has me on the edge of my seat with those melting pianissimos few singers can do this.Her " O mio Babbino Caro " was the most beautiful and moving rendition I've ever heard. ...........so grateful for these recordings, that remind us what singing should be. . We just do not hear anything of this standard these days. .....
