Soprano Sundays : Montserrat Caballé

Montserrat Caballé, the famous Spanish soprano, is interviewed by Bernard Levin and sings some of the operatic roles with which she is particularly associated. She is accompanied by tenor Keith Erwen and the New Philharmonia Chorus and Orchestra, conducted by Reynald Giovaninetti.

there are many wonderful sopranos, but there is only ONE Caballe'. she sang it all, effortlessly, with grace and power. I miss her.

Yes, there was only one Caballe. And there was only one Sutherland, one Sills, one Gencer, one Freni, one Scotto, one Schwarzkopf, one Popp, one Troyanos... ... ...

[@user-uv2rp6zv9n]

She handled that fallen earring very professionally, making up that business with the other one on the spot. What a trooper.

Thank you thank you thank you for posting this. At last! I’ve been searching where her acapella vocalising came from and no one knew! Caballe, the voice of humanity, our goddess forever.

[@RuSSIATUMBAI]

This is really great. Finally they posted this movie in perfect quality.These are the platinum years of Caballe. Her sweet demeanor in interviews can't hide her absolute greatness. The double phrase in one breath in The Marriage of Figaro and Il Trovatore is especially stunning.

I was blessed to see her perform at Carnegie Hall and the Met in Adriana Lecouvere. The greatest voice ever

[@user-uv2rp6zv9n]

Really, the greatest voice EVER? Have you HEARD every voice? Have you heard Giuditta Pasta and Giulia Grisi, to name but a few? Don't get me wrong, I adore Caballé (in her good years at least), but why claim she was better than anybody else? There is room for everyone.

[@vinalandsford6966]

I am very jealous that you got to see her! Must’ve been like being in heaven

[@GarthAstrology]

Caballe at the zenith of her powers here. So much exemplary singing. I was pleasantly surprised by the "Dich Teure Halle."

I posted 2 excerpts from this program years ago. Yours is both complete and a much better copy, so I linked it to my uploads so fans can see all of it. Caballe was so wonderful, as a singer and a person.❤

Wonderful!! There is a chance you can upload the Callas concert? Or if you could download it on HD, would you sell me a copy of it? I’m not from England so I can’t access the material, thank you! :)

[@lastupendajoansutherland]

Wonderful!! Did you happen to get the Joan Sutherland episode?

[@davidmolina7543]

Brava! The tenor is obnoxiously loud.

[@ManuelGonzalez-fi1ki]

Caballé was a very good sopran, but not the BEST sopran....of course.

[@dutchcub]
