Virginia Zeani Desdemona's Willow Song, Rossini

[@liettennabenna]

Ho ascoltato tante cantanti in quest'aria, ma come Zeani, con quella voce morbida e fascinosa, NON C'E' NESSUNA! Grazie sempre per questi tesori.

That is true but i suggest and she very good listening to the Eileen Farrell version.

Bravissima e bellissima

Di una bellezza , di un'intensità e di un'espressività inesprimibili. Conosco praticamente tutte le diverse interpretazioni di quest'aria, ma le emozioni che mi dona questa della Zeani non è riuscita finora a trasmettermele nessun'altra. Ritmo, legato ed eleganza perfetti.

It is so gratifying to think that the ancient tradition of this tragic Rossinian role was transmitted further from Pasta, Malibran and Viardot, and thanks to Lipkowska, continued its life in the legendary, ever sublime Zeani!

La voce di Virginia Zeani era stupenda. Una scoperta.

This is absolutely gorgeous!

Oh wow! Rossini did otello too. I must listen.

Преподавательницей вокала у Виргиния Зеани была Лидия Липковска (Lydia Lipkowska), которая в свою очередь была ученицей знаменитой Полины Виардо, младшей сестры легендарной Марии Малибран-Гарсия.

Total artistry as one always can expect from Zeani! Thanks for the upload

I am glad you are also enjoying the photos, For my first posting of this aria I had only one photo and used historic engravings of, Giuditta Pasta, Maria Malibran, Giulia Grisi and Pauline Viardot. Now I have this fine collection of new photos to share. The scenery for this visually striking production is by the famous surrealist artist Giorgio de Chirico. The vocal tradition also lives on here because Virginia Zeani was taught by Lydia Lipkowska who was a pupil of Pauline Viardot.

Immensely beautiful! I love the way the ornamentations are invested with meaning, and this must be the loveliest version ever of the final prayer.

[@corellithebest]

Thank you so very much, dear Yvonne, for providing us with this rare operatic jewel, performed by ever sublime Virginia! And what a stunning set of photos, both of Virginia and her legendary predecessors in this role (Pasta, Malibran, etc.)!

I'm here because I'm reading A Secret Never to be Told by Lynn John.

[@suzannederringer1607]

Thank you for this! Zeani had real personality and emotion. Pauline Viardot would have approved .
