    ...what can be said? Statuesque, beautiful, human, transcendent. Shirley Verrett was truly a gift to us all, her singing is SO emotive it strikes all. I could listen to her sing 24/7, and her speaking voice was just as wonderful.

      C'était une voix appelée Falcone donc elle pouvait chanter les 2 registres de mezzo et soprano une grande voix bref ! On l'appelait the black Callas !

    I sang a concert with her around 1985 in Miami (chorus for the opening aria from Norma). She also sang Pace, pace at that concert. Memorable!

    Outstanding performance. I saw her onstage in New York quite a few times, in both soprano and mezzo roles. All wonderful, but I preferred her singing in the mezzo range.

    Superb, she sounds like a wonderful mezzo-soprano to me! Marvellously vital, dramatic performance , but lacks the float on top of a soprano, in my opinion

    • @foropera
      @foropera  Год назад +4

      She has some silvery sounds up there, in reserve and use them in other soprano aria like Desdemona. But its clear that her top will not float like a lyric soprano, like whilelmenia Fernandez or Dorothy Mainor. I feel on the other hand that this tension on some notes is artistically efficient, moving. She is fighting with her fate in the story.

      @@DiomedesDioscuro that is not the point-it is a question of tessitura.
      It makes a difference if you sing-especially with Verdi- the mezzo or the soprano part-
      She started as a Mezzo, which was good, but then she sang Tosca, Aida and even Mimi! (You can listen to it on you tube)
