Pitch pitch pitch .. lots of flat notes. And no trill

Fantastica!

Pure bel canto singing. Long languid lines that are so emotive and expressive. Elegant coloratura and beautiful emission in all the registers are needed for both Imogene and Gualtiero.

LA MAS GRANDE SOPRANO DEL SIGLO XX

❤Sublime❤

The Speed of the recording have made the high note a Db, in the score it's a High C

Superb. After a few years, again!😊

1:30

Bravrissima! Bravi tutti!

Peaceful Sunday powering through. What a cast !

A haunting pathos for the ages . A molten catharsis of deeply felt lyricism.

Sublime voix de Montserrat CABALLE. Nous t'aimerons toujours REP

Une des plus belles versions des "Vêpres siciliennes" avec une Superba au summum de sa carrière.

Just Superb as you would expect 👌 😍 😀 👍 🥰

Un passage émouvant comme jamais entendu.

Elle avait une grossesse de 6 mois!!!!!

MAGNIFICENT!

Caballe diosa del cielo.

0:38

Yes. Ok, she manages some passages well but over-forces the low register. Just listen to “del mio camin”, then refer to the same phrase in the 1959 Callas recording. No comparison whatsoever.

Entrance line was very out of tune 😂

Exaggerated “acting”

STARS !

MONUMENTAL !!!!!!!!!!

This is vocal perfection!! Brava Caballe!!

i went to Caballe’s final Vespri at the Metropolitan Opera and it was magnificent. One of the greatest performances I have ever heard in my over 50 years going to the Met. And of course the audience went wild with curtain call after curtain call. There is no one equal in the world of opera in 2024.

CABALLE, l'unique SUPERBA !!!

Goodness...fabulous!

Sublime

🌹♥️Brava Caballe. Thank you for with this beautiful post of a live recording refreshed for a sound so cherished of Caballe's best of many performances.

Me estaré quedando sorgo, pero solo oigo sol, la, si, la sol. No hay re por ninguna parte. Sí que lo daba ocasionalmente, pero yo aquí no lo oigo.

J'y etais , soirée inoubliable .

MOLTO MEGLIO OLIVERO E TEBALDI..

A few truths about the Caballe voice: at its best and in the right repertoire, one of the most beautiful sounds you could ever hear from a human being; in the wrong repertoire (e.g. that awful Phillips “Lucia”) a bit of a screaming machine; she had the most exquisite pianissimi of any singer; her top notes when sung forte or fortissimo were abrasive; her vocal line and cantilena were always beautifully controlled in the middle voice; the lower register and lower middle voice were hollow; she was incapable of coloratura staccati in altissimo; she had no real coloratura in altissimo, so her cadenzas in bel canto always seemed to have a low ceiling on them; her trill was more of a fake shake; she went on too long and sang well below her best in her final decade, almost to an embarrassing degree; her verismo roles in her prime showed her voice at its absolute best.

Si la memoria no me falla, he leído que Domingo no se encontraba bien en esta producción, y se saltó el aria en una de las funciones, mientras que Caballé lo apabullaba con sus calderones y fortísimos. De ahí y de La Africana vienen, al parecer, sus diferencias, aunque luego ella las atribuyera a que Domingo no quería cantar con ella porque estaba gorda, como si no hubiera cantado con muchas que estaban todavía más gordas. Aquí Caballé se sale y Domingo está más que apretado, pero en su disputa hay que reconocer que se comportó de un modo mucho más elegante que ella.

The correct spelling of the place is Aix-en-Provence. Beautiful finale

8:47

Sorry, guys... that's a High C. Beautiful by the way.

High C... not High D. Great anyway. She was born to sing Bel Canto

The pitch is off in this video. The first note should be D natural, and the final note a high C natural. The notes are a half tone higher than they were performed.

No me gusta ,nunca me gustó, y no sé porque....

This is Puccini's "Obéïssons" I think.

superbe

She was an oustanding Amelia !!!❤

Bravo, bravissimo magistral ,jamais haverá outra ,nem Callas chegou perto. Maravilhosa.

Técnica não, tem muito dom ,a técnica ajudou ,mas, acho que é puro dom, sua voz é raríssima, adorável um anjo cantando.

Aix-en-Provence rather than « Aix An Province », please.

Magnifique!

Wait…this was at the end of December in 1972. …she had given birth to her second child less than 2 months before this. And she was already performing again? Not to mention that she could still sing like that? Unbelievable.

I am pretty sure it is ‘D’ .
