Puccini - La Rondine - Chi il bel sogno di Doretta - Montserrat Caballé (Barcelona, 1975)

[@joeygodin8861]

I love her pianissimi. They suit the aria perfectly.

[@garybranigan1928]

Those soft notes are fabulous

[@RBP1963]

Her unique voice transports you to the heaven, so musical so fine in all the music that she did along her career ! Thanks God to have Montserrat Caballé in this world !

[@luistena2562]

The sound and legatos were beyond perfection. Unique in history.

[@pnocella]

Yes, she is the best! Apart from her gorgeous sound, Caballe incredibly takes the main theme, up to high A, then high G and then the repeat, up to high C and high Bb, all in one breath! No other soprano does this as far as I'm aware!

[@judyjones2475]

So true ,beautiful in the extreme x

[@danielhughes441]

Actually she only does it for the first phrase (A to F to G to E). The second phrase that goes to the C she breathes like all other soprani typically do.

[@pnocella]

@@danielhughes441 Well, if you're correct it must be the fastest/sneakiest breath ever!

[@AIWboojum]

@@pnocella She definitely breathes here. However, on her recorded, studio version, she does the phrase in one breath.

[@alessandrocarlino4508]

Da uno che adora la Caballe:ascolti i pianissimi della Renata Scotto in quest'aria,le assicuro che sono ancora più belli!

[@jean-claudecalise7470]

Mama mia ! Da rendere pazzi gli ascoltatore, davvero. Grazie.

DIVINAAAAAAAA MONTSERRAT

[@pericofantasias]

Fantástica. Fraseo impecable, fiato incombustible. Quizá un pequeño abuso del portamento en los primeros compases del recitativo, pero siempre contribuyendo al legato inmaculado. Voz plena, colocada en lo alto y rotunda en los agudos en forte, y un glorioso, imposible diminuendo final que hace que el tiempo se detenga esperando que termine para gritar desde lo más profundo de nuestras entrañas: ¡¡Brava!! ¡¡¡Bravissima!!!

[@siglinde86]

No tiene recitativo el aria.

[@pericofantasias]

@@siglinde86 Efectivamente: gracias por la aclaración. Me refería a todo lo que antecede a la parte más cantabile del final del aria. Saludos.

Parlare è una cosa . Cantare come canta La Caballe è veramente un sogno d’or. Una registrazione purtroppo non è una testimonianza della vera bellezza della voce, purtroppo ! Sublime La Caballe ! il vecchio

[@HellasItalia4]

Veramente stupenda amico , unica! Ma io sono ancora innamorato di Rosanna.... kzbin.info/www/bejne/oWHXkH2eqrFjkKc ci ha lasciato il 25 October 2020

[@thomasjohnson7948]

Wow! This amazing woman had such a gift: her voice could do anything she wanted. Most sopranos can only dream of what she was capable of. Because of the length of her breath - phrase, she could offer subtle interpretations of the music that others simply cannot. Ainhoa Arteta has a Wonderful, but distinctly different interpretation for this famous Aria. Arteta has a delicate sensitivity that is just as valid, but very feminine and soft.

[@publicclammer]

Damn, that's good!

Unusual to hear Caballe singing flat.

[@oldbloomsbury8437]

Brava!!!

[@СергейДрейт]

какая атака, искусство , о пьяно вообще молчу

[@liedersanger1]

She changes the word at the end, from “cosi” to “ancor,”which allows her to spin it out. Its cheating but its Caballe.

[@PedroLmelb]

Fantástica de voz, pero .... después de escuchar la versión de Pilar Lorengar, la encuentro fria

[@numetutelare]

Molto brava e ottima esecuzione ma in questo pezzo la giovane Ricciarelli l' ha superata per bellezza di suono e per timbro stupefacente... E per un pathos assolutamente avvolgente

[@johnj.817]

Pas plus que Leontyne Price. Je te conseille de l'écouter elle reste de loin la diva de cette pièce.

[@eastfiftyseven]

Ma scherzi 😂?

[@numetutelare]

Conosco il pezzo cantato della Price... ottimo soprano ma la sua voce bella ma un poco ombrosa, perfetta con Verdi, è leggermente pesante per questa parte. Poi per carità i gusti sono individuali.

[@art7695]

Kaibavanska at same level

[@corneliusbates460]

This recording is not the best. Caballe is amazing no doubt but the recording itself is not the best quality

[@michaelmiller1215]

Not on the same level as Leontyne Price or Anna Moffo.

[@judyjones2475]

No much better !

[@enthusedtosing9655]

..Right ....

[@critic9216]

I like generally Caballe, but this aria is Anna Moffo's. This performance is too studied and ponderous. It doesn't float and soar as Moffo's does.

[@thorvonoden5879]

Caballe' , highly overrated, sloppy fraseing, weak coloratura, total absence of legato, she is a folk singer, with a few good high notes.

[@judyjones2475]

Are you deaf ?.she is amazing

[@romondesbert]

get some professional help...

[@thorvonoden5879]

@@romondesbert not sure what you mean, but I would suggest you try, L. Price, A. Moffo, for comparison, As classical voice coach, I know something about voice, Caballe even struggle with pitch. In the world of opera singing a voice will always be compared to another, and Caballe falls short of so many. Just listen to her Salome, it's ubareable. You need to educate yourself I think, try a hearing test as well.

[@judyjones2475]

@@thorvonoden5879 you should get your hearing tested !Montserrat had the most beautiful voice ever heard .You are definitely devoid of any kind of artistic soul 🤮

I suppose callas was terrible too or at the very least your opinion is more correct than hers because Maria adored caballe
