Raina Kabaivanska is one the Greatest Opera Divas ever existed. "Tosca of the past was Callas. Tosca of our time is Kabaivanska," - Luciano Pavarotti, 1994
Fantastica! Cantare in quella posizione e mantenere quei piani e tutto il resto in modo armonico e morbido è da eroi. Lei lo è stata! Grandissima interprete, grandissima tecnica: interpretazione magistrale.
Ho avuto il privilegio e piacere di poter ascoltare la straordinaria voce di Raina dal vivo in teatro... Aveva il potere di portarti con lei e straziarti il cuore come solo la Callas ci riusciva. Grandissima e stupenda voce... ❤️❤️❤️
There is dramatic depth into the timbre of her voice. Her voice is suited for the tragic arias in which a singer has to convey the despair of the character. Such a moving rendition.
The voice is wonderful and the pitch is comfortable. The Italian pronunciation is great, so it will be a great learning experience for me as a Japanese. Thank you for uploading a great video. 声が素晴らしく、ピッチも気持ちいいです。 イタリア語の発音が素晴らしいので、日本人としての私にとっては素晴らしい学習体験になるでしょう。 すばらしい動画をアップロードしていただきありがとうございます。
What is most wonderful about Kabaivanska's "Vissi d'arte" is the delicately intimate and almost contemplative nature of the opening section of the aria. It begins as a prayer and gathers force as an outpouring of protest in her sentiment of having been abandoned by the God she has served. The contrasts are wonderfully moving and effective. Brava, Raina!
If Kabaivanska does not bring tears to your eyes nothing will. I though Callas sang this the best and I still do, but this lady is just as good. Thanks for the video and what a voice.
@@ultraman1redway better. This is how this aria should be sung. You are talking about a desperate and vulnerable woman, so your singing should reflect that. Maria callas just does what she always does: shriek-cries everything. Like there is no interpretation of character with her, everything is just callas. Raina actually tries to interpret the role.
Raina Kabaivanska ???!!! GREAT, GREAT, GREAT VOICE !!! FANTASTIC Bulgarian SOPRANO !!! World voice !!! GREAT TEACHER OF ALL GENERATIONS SOPRANOS FROM ALL World !!! ALL World LOVE The OUR - Raina Kabaivanska !!! God BLESS You Dear Mrs Kabaivanska !!! God BLESS Your FANTASTIC TALENT !!! Always with a lot of love and light N.Mirkova and friends from Sofia - Bulgaria
@asterimbg well said !!! Every opera buff knows her name and she was revered in Italy (still is). And plenty of great opera singers are from Bulgaria !!
Mi favorita hasta el momento :) Trágico... me encanta la melancolía en la que sumerge su voz... aveces parece que todo lo bueno no vale nada y todo se torna gris y fuego...
Sublime pianissimo, penetrating high note... Volatile yet vulnerable, such a believable and heart breaking Tosca. Yeah, the explosion at 2:50 penetrates the core of my heart.
Does any one in the States know enough about the great Bulgarian singers?... Listen to this for example... They are classes above and beyond some of the current opera stars who happen to be blessed with abundance of exposure and fame. Someone needs to stop the brainwashing and really open peoples eyes, and in this case ears. People, go and search and discover the gold that's out there. Thank you you tube! Bravissima Raina...what a beauty to watch and listen. The final cadenza made me cry...
I once saw a filmed stage version of "Tosca" where this aria was sung after the artist was lying on her stomach on the floor, and she did it very well.
En esta interpretacion, Raina supera a todas las sopranos, aun hasta a Maria Callas, es para mi la mejor Tosca de la historia. Voz, interpretacion, sentimiento, actuacion, potencia, etc etc
davvero? questa era una delle voci più brutte del mondo. dal vivo era così. mi ricordo come il pubblico rideva... senti come cantavano La Muzio,La Burzio,La Ponselle,la giovane Callas,la giovane Tebaldi... dimentica questa voce stridula e poco bella,salva le tue orecchie,sei giovane!
bodiloto No dai... non è così male C'è molto di peggio. Almeno lei salviamola! È ovvio che è lontana da tutte quelle da te citate, ma mi pare una buona Tosca (Senza sembrare ipocrita: sappi che comunque te lo dice uno che ascolta di prassi Callas-Gobbi-Di Stefano)
Of course, she CAN sing this aria from any position. You can see such videos of life performances here on youtube. In fact, she barely has sung this in any other position. You can see also a video with explanation about her artistic approach (in italian) in which she says: "Don't ask me where from and how I take breath, I don't know it myself".
@rayrac According to Raina's own words, she's always sung "Vissi d'Arte" sitting or laying on the floor to express Tosca's torments better. There are some live performances here, on YT and she proved she can do it /although singing that way is quite uneasy/. As far as Callas' Tosca, Maria was idol of Raina and her director in "Vespri Siciliani" . But their interpretations are different; Raina's never meant to imitate her Tosca. I respect your opinion though. Callas was a great singing actress!
I know right! I've seen this about six times live, with different singers, but no one has caught the moment like this. Maybe it is because you can try it again on film, when live you can't do that. live on stage. I don't know. When I first saw this on DVD I did not think she would make a good Tosca, because Tosca was supposed to be plump. : ) But man, I am glad I watched it...

Absolutely gorgeous sound. Unfortunately, the diva was putting more effort into making it exquisite, than she was in feeling the horror of her situation, and the result was more rewarding to the ear than to the emotions. That is not what theatre is about, as Maria Callas well knew.
`There is a good video of Montserrat Caballe singing Vissi d'Arte while leaning most of her body against the back and arm of a well-padded sofa. Her semi-crouched position in no way interferes with her beautiful delvery of the aria.
Happy Birthday, Raina Kabaivanska! 🎉🎊🎁🎂🎈
Raina Kabaivanska is always the perfect example of the greatest opera stars in the industry! Bravo Diva Raina!

I love this performance
Kabaivanska was one of the most unforgettable Toscas on stage. And this movie is beautiful, a real treasure - even if the lyp sinc does not match...
Thanks for confirming the obvious. It kept me from enjoying the wonderful performance.
QUESTA è un'interpretazione magistrale!Grande Raina ❤
JAMAS, JAMAS he visto y oído una interpretación y tono vocal como este, JAMÁS !
I saw her perform this role (live) and I'll never forget it!
That must have been quite something!
one of the first things I ever say as a teenager was her in this role. Unforgettable.
Una de las mejores Toscas de la historia ...perfecta ejecución e increíble actuación ...
Brava Raina, tu sei l'onore del Maestro Puccini, grazie.
Povero Puccini,lui chi adorava le donne belle...
How fortunate we were to have both Callas and Kabaivanska. Thank you for this splendid video. Vivian
One of the best 💖 soprano ever.🌟 Passionated and lovely.🌹
One of the most beautiful🌻 Floria Tosca. A true sophisticated 💎and very talented artist.☀️
If Kabaivanska does not bring tears to your eyes nothing will. I though Callas sang this the best and I still do, but this lady is just as good. Thanks for the video and what a voice.
Better than Callas.

Bellísima Aria

@rayrac this was a movie i have this video im sure they recorded it and were lip synching
Absolutely gorgeous sound. Unfortunately, the diva was putting more effort into making it exquisite, than she was in feeling the horror of her situation, and the result was more rewarding to the ear than to the emotions. That is not what theatre is about, as Maria Callas well knew.
