Such heavenly beauty and astonishing artistry...

[@carlfigueiredo2095]

A fabulous concert indeed! One of the lovliest voices of the latter half of the last century; a truly great artist! Bravissima! Thank you for sharing!

[@antoniorosello1341]

La mejor cantante española de siempre.

Montserrat Caballé dijo: "Victoria de Los Ángeles es el sueño de todos las cantantes"

One of all time greatest sopranos!!!

[@SynnevaSIden]

Meravigliosa!

Quite possibly the most beautiful voice of the second half of the 20th century. No, for me the most beautiful voice of the second half of the century just passed. Her recitals were a joy and one always wished for more. She was a superb Donna Anna, aristocratic and patrician.

Difficile ascoltare tanta bellezza! Grazie @operanostalgia per averci regalato questa gemma, davvero preziosa!

[@sergiosanchezsanchez8712]

Sencillamente Fabulosa. Su Voz es transparente y pura como agua cristalina de arroyo. Su timbre bello absoluto.Y su musicalidad natural le eleva al máximo exponente de inteligencia magistral convertido en sublime Arte.❤🙏

This little upload is a marvel. I keep returning to it time and again. I know only of very few examples of such perfection. This should serve as a model for young singers who, alas, listen to Kaufmann and have no idea what this art really is about...

[@geraldinekelley]

Yes- the artistry of bel canto is a rare commodity today. Victoria was a superb and unforgettable artist.

Exquisite singing!

[@Ernie1]

Wonderful! The voice sounds so full and easy. Brava!

Ob es nun die schönste oder beste Stimme ist/ war, diffamiert diese wundervollen Darstellungen. Es sind Geschenke an den wissenden Hörer. Es ist nun einmal so, dass Musikgeschmack erlernt werden muss, aber es gibt auch Töne, die einfach das Herz des Hörers ergreifen. Ich will einfach glauben, dass diese wunderbare Künstlerin diese Töne erschaffen konnte.

Best Voi Che Sapete I've ever heard!

Thank you for posting! De Los Angeles was my very first favorite opera singer! I was in Junior High (or maybe early High School; too long ago to remember). I had heard her as Rosina in the studio recording of Barber of Seville, and fell in love! She's still one of my all time favorites!

One of Buenos Aires long time favorito soprano! Thanks for posting

[@thomasdeansfineart149]

Amazing. That was exactly my story. 7th or 8th grade. Her Barber of Seville with Vittorio Gui. I was hooked for good. I was lucky to see her several times in recital.

[@belengenicio8606]

Maravillosa Victoria. Pureza de Voz, entonación, todo perfecto. No te olvidamos.

I admit I never really liked her. But here, I find her fabulous. Thanks for posting.

[@cookieglass4264]

why?

[@AfroPoli]

@@cookieglass4264 I heard her only in Bohème, Butterfly and some other operatic recordings. I found her voice dry and her interpretations not overly exciting. Here, she is different. I guess the recital and the art song were her true element. This recital is sublime.

[@ioanturcu3093]

Magnific.
