[@Paddy818]

Brilliant artist! One of a kind!

[@bodiloto]

Dal vivo una voce Meravigliosa. 🌹

[@patrickfavre-tissot3149]

Remarquable ! Jusqu'au contre ré bémol ! Avec Ghena Dimitrova et Shirley Verrett Sylvia Sass fut l'une des 3 grandes Lady M de la période 1975 1985. Addio bel passato ! Recherchez sa prestationintégrale au regio di Torino 1977 avec Renato Bruson, Carlo Bergonzi et Nicolas Ghiuselev : amazing !!!

[@PonselleLover]

Coming back to beloved Sylvia 2 weeks after... How inspired and haunting is her singing !

[@eleanorgloria]

This is just amazing. Thank you. I have listended to this over and over. Wow!

[@martello79]

Simply brilliant. Brava Syliva!

[@Operacrazed]

Brava ! Had read of Sass before, but until now never heard her, A Callas impersonator yes ! But also a soprano of unique and individual qualities. Thank you for introducing her to me....a privilege.

[@jmac3327]

Callas impersonator? In what way?

[@johnnie543]

Good entrance. Graceful and expressive gestures. Commanding voice. These are the ingredients for a Lady Macbeth.

[@yes4albert]

In simple fact, she is an amazing singing artist. That was incredible.

[@SymphonyBrahms]

Sylvia Sass was born in Hungary and made her debut in 1971. She has sung in most of the major opera house of the world. She is especially renowned for her portrayal of Lady MacBeth in Verdi's opera "MacBeth".

[@angelonicola6081]

Leggo tutti questi commenti giubilanti,sono abbastanza vecchio per ricordare il periodo dei successi della Sass. Io sento una voce di soprano di coloratura,neanche tanto ampia e tanto duttile,applicata a ruoli che non le stanno per niente bene. La callas? Nessun confronto possibile. La sass mi sembra il classico prodotto di laboratorio. A

[@waterfordwinstons]

I like the Woman waw Brava Diva, this is how one should sing not just standing there, she is the new lady Macbeth, brava brava i think that Sherly Verrett would like her work tooooo......sing diva.

[@rabizvievedh]

she's so sweet her singing so beautiful

[@clementemunozamenabar1070]

una de las màs grandes lady macbeth de la historia.

[@corellithebest]

I haven't heard of her till now. What a voice and acting and everything!

[@MAPIAKALLAS]

i have to agree with you pasfresh Sylvia does resemble Callas its like she study as hard as Callas to sing great and its wonderful to see someone that can act and sing with passion

[@rittelmann]

sylvia sass is Lady macbeth! thx for this video document

[@SilvianeBellato]

Meravigliosa!

[@PonselleLover]

In this part, she's at home, much more than in Norma, in which she showed short of breath and couldn't hold the higher notes. Apart from that, she's a very honnest, humble and emotional singer. I had her Medea, her Macbeth and her Decca recital.

[@anamariav.d.898]

En su tiempo la llamaron La segunda Callas, y por algo sería....Es magnífica!!

[@ΜΑΡΙΝΑΚΟΛΥΒΑ]

MONUMENTAL!

[@MAPIAKALLAS]

Yes sylvia where are you you are so great your acting and singing is super and i have to agree with pasfresh at 1:14 its a pure callas moment is wonderful to some poin i think Sylvia study as hard as Callas to be perfect and thats wonderful its lovely brava. diva

[@orion8835]

Despite the lack of any clear vowels, consonants and a lack of a chest voice this is still phenomenal. Imagine what it could have been with a bit more technical delving. A beautiful metallic feminine swan voice.

[@mariavelasco]

MAGNÍFICA!!!!!!

[@eugenelohks]

I know! Just listening to that bit even I would have been confused... Sylvia, so underrated!

[@pasielu]

in questa scena Lady Macbeth ormai è impazzita la soprano interpreta bene la drammaticità

[@ubedajils]

Imitará, pero, joder, qué voz y qué bien interpreta.

[@sarguar]

BRAVAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

[@gondorado1]

Faust075, I AM TALKING ABOUT Callas TELLING THATTO Caballé, NOT TO Sass. So, Callas told Caballé that she (Caballé) was her successor (Callas's)

[@ploplisphilin]

First-rate interpretation--she even sings the high D perfectly at the end. Many more famous singers just skip it. A much underappreciated diva. Is she still singing?I wish I had seen her in person. Plus, she has a beautiful physique and face for the stage.

[@Faust075]

Sass never studied with Callas !!! She visited Callas in her Paris appartement in the mid 70s. Spent there 4 hours, talking and taking some advice from Callas, particularly on how to sing Traviata, but that's it. Callas certainly never told her "you will be the new Callas" !!! Journalists however did presented Sass as the "new Callas" ... before she ruined her voice trying to imitate the greatest Opera singer of all times instead of trying simply to be herself.

[@eugeniogentili1048]

Sylvia Sass beautiful stage presence.

[@Annabelleese1]

Absolutely superb. Wonderful phrasing, great mellow darkness to the voice. And an excellent dramatic interpretation. Who is she? Just heard Nadja Michael sing this live at Chicago's Lyric and although she has a glorious body which they used to the hilt in the production, she is going to wreck her voice singing this role.

[@TheSandraSoprano]

@ploplisphilin It's only a D-flat. :) (I've sung this scene.)

[@CzarDodon]

I heard her live in Il Tabarro and Die Ferne Klang (Schreker) back in the eighties and the voice was anything but big, the orchestra covered her very often. There are many good things here but her woolly diction is a fatal flaw.

[@Faust075]

What successor ? Where is she now ? She began to be known in the world of Opera in 1977/78 when she sang for the first time at La Scala and the Met. By the end of 1980, she was already over and her voice ruined, because she overworked it with roles that were not for her. Too bad ! because she could have had a great career. She was indeed in the line of "Callas" but she wanted too much, too quick, too soon.

[@agnes15101968]

She had a lung disease, which wrecked her career, very soon after it had started at all.

[@brrehusebye7298]

You are probably right. She finished her studies in two years instead of four. Like so many singers at the time, she was inspired by the vocal versality of Callas. Bad for her. The debut recital on Decca shows signs of short breaths several places. What makes Sass a great artist, is her abilities to interpret Lady Macbeth in a very scary evil way. In these scene its a woman you do not want to come across on a dark road.

[@ubedajils]

@pasfresh123 Amen jajaja

[@flicfan416]

Oh girl, let's not get ahead of ourselves...Nadja has no voice left to wreck. She's turned a modest mezzo instrument into a caterwauling top-heavy mess. My sympathies that you had to pay money to watch that disaster unfold.

[@dirkadriaan6019]

True

[@7CALLAS]

@pasfresh123

[@gondorado1]

Callas told Caballé that she was her succesor.

[@Operacrazed]

I revoke my comment stating Sass is a Callas impersonator !! There are certainly Callas influences in evidence...tonally and in terms of repotoire. But yes she most definitely a dramatic soprano in her own right and a fine one at that.

[@7CALLAS]

@pasfresh123 yes CALLAS

[@dirkadriaan6019]

Terrible terrible.
