I was a young , new, sole parent trying to come to terms with my situation when I first heard Victoria de los Angeles over the radio.. I was completely mesmerised by the angelic quality of her voice A tranquility came over me, tears ran down my face .I was transported . I have never forgotten that moment . And so began my love for Victoria's voice, my gratitude for that moment in time and now this posting which I can save and listen to, whenever I need her medicine....thank you🌷
En cualquier repertorio, sutil y conmovedora. En el repertorio español, simplemente asombrosa. Convertía hasta el carbón en diamante, y el diamante lo engastaba con verdad y sencillez. Si la Callas era la Divina, Victoria era la Humana, y por eso la amamos.
@@marcelpopa8018, Victoria no era americana, era catalana, de raíces netamente españolas. Su timbre de soprano lírica alcanzaba el re natural, como se puede comprobar en Manon. Aunque cantó Carmen, lo hizo al modo de Emma Calvé más que de Supervía, por ejemplo. Disculpa la precisión.
What a wonderful woman!! Her singing is as exquisite as full of beauty, it is not possible not to be deeply moved by her voice. Truly an exceptional singer of all times. Always admired, always beloved. We miss you Victoria... Thank you for posting this recital.
The perfection of belle canto with a formidable technique. The prove is that her voice still sounded yuoung, rglardles of her age.La perfeccion del belle canto con una tecnica formidable. la prueba is que siguio' cantanto como joben, a pesar de su edad.
I had the pleasure of seeing her perform at Massey Hall in Toronto back in 1961. I actually got her to autograph my programme. Her signature was as unique and beautiful as her voice. I also had the pleasure of seeing Giuseppe Di Stefano that year at the same venue. Lucky me!
My favorite soprano. Her exquisite voice and impeccable technique was able to bring to life many operatic roles in the French, Italian and German repertoires. She was (and is) second to none in her command of song literature in many languages. Por supuesto, sus contribuciones a la música española son innumerables. I was very fortunate to have heard her many times on stage (in recital). An unforgettable sound. Bravissima, sempre bravissima!
My favorite artist! What an artist, what a frasing! You don't need to know the language she is singing, just the way she does it and one understand what is all about!
Sentí su voz como un arroyo de agua fresca y cristalina que me transportó. Unas de las voces más dulces y conmovedoras que he escuchado. Sublime, excepcional, exquisita. Gracias Victoria, gracias por tu legado.
I saw her perform here with the Vancouver Symphony. She sang Purcell's 'When I am laid in earth', and Beethoven's 'Ah perfido'. The next afternoon Gerald Moore did a lecture/recital and she and her husband were sitting a few rows ahead of me. Afterwards I went backstage to get Moore's autograph. She was in the lineup and when Moore spotted her he let out a very loud 'Vicky!'
Artista eccezionale! Dopo anni di carriera la limpidezza del timbro, la precisione nell'intonazione lasciano stupefatti … Oltre all'interpretazione sempre in perfetto stile, la gioia e al tempo stesso la semplicità nel porgere il canto con naturalezza o come dicevano "a fior di labbra". Grazie!
Daniela, lo disse anche lei alla radio, ha cantato sempre con la sua voce e non l'ha mai forzata. Qualche cosa puo' risultare un po debole, esile, ma la bellezza del timbro supera qualunque perplessita', e l'immensa grazia nell'esporre. L'intensita' poi dell'espressione...si vede che " ci crede". Oggi nessun cantante crede in quello che sta cantando, si parla soltanto di tecnica e basta e si apprezza per esempio una Devia per la tecnica dimenticandoci del resto...che e' teatro in musica e che la voce non e' una slot machine. Se non cambia la musica l'opera muore, e' gia' sulla strada e i teatri chiuderanno. Questi grandi del passato recente non li comprende più nessuno. Si preferiscono certi soprani moderni asettici alla Sutherland, dicendo che e' superata, per dire...comunque brava Victoria, che pure non ha avuto una vecchiaia felice e sicuramente in quei momenti in cui cantava lo era ancora. Cordiali saluti.
No tengo como dar lo suficientemente las Gracias por darnos este bendito Regalo… A esta bellísima Ángela ❤ la hermosa y sin par: Victoria de los Ángeles ❤
@danielcabreraloa5191 YES! The Mompou Cantar del alma! Here she is at 65 singing UNACCOMANPANIED between piano interludes AND DOESN’T STRAY EVEN SLIGHTLY FROM THE DEAD CENTER PITCH. This is a masterpiece of singing for sure. The entire recital is miraculous. I wish “El mariner” went on for 50 verses!
@@danielcabreraloa5191 I figured that much, but I'd still like to find the date! I fell in love with her voice in 1963, when I first heard her on an Angel recording (how apt!) of the Poulenc Gloria. I suppose if we date her debut to a 1944 performance of the Marriage of Figaro, as the Countess, this would have to be in 1994.✨🌹 Well, I was wrong! The tape was dated 1989!🤭
@@danielcabreraloa5191 I find it interesting that the two most important names in Spanish vocal music, though separated by many centuries, are *both* VICTORIA!!✨🌠🌌🎆✨
@@brookeggleston9314 I absolutely love Victoria de los Ángeles, her Madamma Butterfly is the definitive one for me and her vission of singing (even more than spiritual) was tremendously advanced... I only consider that capable to very few other singers, if I were to select I would pick Kathleen Battle and Ian BOSTRIDGE, and Emma Kirkby
Este recital es del 89 en el Palacio de la Música. Pero recuerdo haber acudido al recital del 24 de julio de 1994 en el Liceo, es decir que este no es el último!

Victoria era divina hispano-americana . Una voce stupenda ,chiara ma molto,molto calda. Lo amo !
Los Angeles cera una mezzosoprana ma con un registro muzicale mo;to esstenso,da mezzo soprana a soprana lirica. Victoria e al mio anima !

She was The Sublime.

how can you not love this woman?
I heard her sing, accompanied by Geoffrey Parsons, in London in the early nineties.
La escuche en Buenos Aires en 1990....increiblemente perfecta...

What a gift to us. Victoria & to you for posting this. Muchíssimas gracias!!
Victoria de Los Angeles is such a wonderful soprano. I'm disappointed that her pianist here plays so crudely.
still the gorgeous tone

I have a handful of favorite Singers from the Classical and Pop genres and the great Victoria De Los Angeles tops the list ❤
