Teresa BERGANZA sings "Una voce poco fa"

My dear TERESA BERGANZA sings "Una voce poco fa" from Rossini´s opera Il barbiere di Siviglia.
Conductor: Claudio Abbado
Director: Jean-Pierre Ponnelle
filmed at Salzburg, Atelier Durer, 1972

[@giuliagiraudo]

Mamma mia...fa sembrare quest'aria facilissima. Che meraviglia!

[@bodiloto]

Giulia Giraudo In realtà è un’aria facilissima . Se mi ricordo bene 65 anni fa i contralti veri interpretavano quest’aria con una facilità disarmante … il vecchio

[@durcheinander5554]

Her coloratura sounds just like laughter. So beautiful.

[@canterlevi]

durcheinander I’ve always thought coloratura represents when a character is happy or laughing. Except, maybe, the Queen of the Night. She has troubles. 😉

[@Schoolgirl325]

Why does everyone like to compare every performance of this aria to Maria Callas? Maria Callas and Teresa Berganza are not even in the same vocal fach, anyway. Callas was a dramatic coloratura soprano, and Berganza is a coloratura mezzo soprano. They both sounded lovely in their own right, but their voices can't be compared in terms of who's better or who's worse.

[@user-di7hw4nz1v]

Schoolgirl325 why people don't want to enjoy individual beautiful voices, why want to compare to one another always.

[@mariaengracio4849]

Hello, Schoogirl325! How are you? I read, now, the comment you wrote...imagine...3 years ago...BUT I MUST SAY, I AGREE 100% WITH YOU!... COMPARE MADAME CALLAS WITH MADAME BERGANZA IS POINTLESS: ONE WAS A SUPERB SOPRANO "THE MOST"; THE OTHER IS A FABULOUS MEZZOSOPRANO. THE APROACH TO THIS ARIA MUST BE VERY DIFERENT, INDEED!...I LOVE VERY,VERY MUCH MADAME BERGANZA WITH HER ASTONISHING VOICE AND PRESENCE... ABOUT MADAME CALLAS ?...WHAT CAN I SAY? I SIMPLY ADORE HER...THAT'S THAT!... BY-BYE.

So many singers add too much ornamentation to this aria, but Teresa keeps it simple and I think that really allows the beauty of the aria to shine through. I really respect her a lot for sticking to what's written in the score. This is something she always lived by. I think this shows a lot of respect for the composer.

[@xxsaruman82xx87]

Although it is true that Rossini wrote this aria without ornamentation, so that singers could add ornamentation. But you are right. I don't mind for minute that there is no ornamentation. Berganza is great.

[@yanlee2436]

@@xxsaruman82xx87 When Rossini was alive, he was strongly against adding extra ornamentation into this aria.

[@siegfriedweber7956]

@@yanlee2436 I agree!

[@theodoravonwied5441]

Yes! This is just how Adelina Patti sang it in 1905 (the recording can be found in her German Wikipedia article). And Patti had started her opera career when Rossini was still alive.

Danke für die schöne Erinnerung an die großartige Teresa Berganza - RIP

[@Richiesutherland]

This is from the Jean-Pierre Ponnelle movie of Barbiere, with the same cast as the DG recording. It sounds as if the recitatives were recorded separately, so that they would match up to the action in the movie. Berganza's great charm and warmth come through here, as well as her effortless, gorgeous singing. She is my favorite Rossini mezzo of all time, and one of my favorite singers ever.

[@giovannimagliocchetti5488]

Una delle più belle Arie da me preferite. STUPENDA VOCE. ENTUSIASMANTE RECITAZIONE. GRANDE TERESA BERGANZA deceduta ieri 13 maggio 2022 Pe chi non lo sapesse. Un REQUIEM.

[@francoaragosta4285]

Every time I've heard this woman sing I think, "It couldn't POSSIBLY be done any better." And I'been RIGHT every time. ;-)

[@mariociarimboli2485]

Che la terra ti sia lieve, Teresa. Un vuoto incolmabile.

[@desertpair2]

I don't know how you would do it better than this! She uses just the right amount of coloratura. But it's kind of straightforward, playful, determined . . . and her voice is delicious. My favorite version.

[@astrasfo]

What a lovely voice! I have perfect pitch and have never heard a singer so consistently land in the MIDDLE of every note.

[@Octavoification]

Sounds like a musician is singing....for a change! BRAVA

[@idraote]

Callas and Berganza were totally different voices and give life to entirely different characters. It is not necessary to choose, thank the Goddess we can listen to both of them and enjoy both of their singing. This strife between fans sound a little childish: more than just one can be great and one should be glad about it: the more beauty at the theatre

[@laracroft5351]

I don’t agree. Simply because everyone celebrates Callas as if there was no better singer in the world, but she herself created that image. So it’s just fair and honest to compare and say that Berganza is by far doing better at this aria. (I haven’t compared any other of those two) and it doesn’t matter wether or not they are in the same vocal „fach“ because I don’t have to know about things like that. I just listen and know what I like better. And this is by far - BY FAR better than the Callas version. And Callas chose to sing it, so she must also tolerate to be compared. Don’t get me wrong - I WISH it was as you said, but Callas did everything to compare herself and create the illusion of herself of being perfect and the diva and the voice. So she compared and wanted to be compared. It’s only fair to point out that other vocalist were even better. Especially when these vocalists were „a bit“ more modest than Callas was and therefore less celebrated.

[@user-du4jd8zi6y]

So pure voice❤ Everything is so natural. Absolutely one of the best mezzo-soprano.

[@acitipo]

Entre las grandes LA BERGANZA OCUPA EL PRIMER LUGAR y por muchos años fuel la mezzo mas celebre, el timbre bellisimo y parejisimo en los tres registros, cosa dificil en una voz femenina, signo de su perfecta formacion y vastisima cultura musical, y con Luis Alva hizo lapareja de antologia!!!!

[@dracher]

Teresa Berganza is simply wonderful. Here she is absolutely in control of the necessary technique, she is the very model of Rossini singing.

[@christopherpericolosi-king4979]

What a phenomenal voice! How have I never heard this?

[@luisalbertovega7518]

Es la mejor versión para mi. Alva,Prey y Berganza .MEJOR IMPOSIBLE

[@Raf90pazen]

I´m in love with her voice. Perfect control of the fiato, the coloratura and the high notes. And an awesome interpretation of the character of Rossina too.

[@Emjay1950]

I had this recording on tape many years ago. It is my favourite ... Berganza is exceptional ... I just love her voice.

[@trilingual1946]

One of the first operas I ever attended was "Barbiere" in San Francisco. It was 1968 and Berganza was Rosina. I still remember that sparkling performance -- beautifully sung and acted to perfection! We have been lucky to have so many brilliant interpreters of this role, but Berganza has always been one of my favorite singers. Her musicality and intelligence shine through everything she sang. Her Carmen was superb, as well, and her renditions of zarzuela arias are unsurpassed.

[@BravaBerganza01]

Teresa Berganza studied at the Madrid Conservatory under the direction of Lola Rodrígues Aragón. She´s the best mozartian and rossinian singer ever (in my opinion)! She´s still alive, don´t worry :) Teresa lives in San Lorenzo de el Escorial, but still travels a lot. She´s doing masterclasses in all the world or acts as member of the jury on some singing competitions. And also from time to time she performs some recital. She´s incredible and I love her so much!!!!!!!
