Montserrat Caballe brings true beauty to this world when she sings! Anyone who has a negative comment to make about her should perhaps take stock of what contributions they have made.
What more can you say??? Perfection, I watch, and watch with amazement with quiet wonder, her voice is a gift from the heavens, to touch a wretch like me, I cry...
Caballe here demonstrates her complete control of every person in the room.She was one of the few who could turn her back to the audience and they would still love here and want more.At 71 years of age she has nothing to prove.She had done it all.
"Her impressive technique, legatto and musicality has her here, she manages to express all that is needed and more, and makes it incredibly soothing to listen, that's what this singing is all about, not a demonstration of vocal power and aesthetic timbre without technique as some singers do... i admire her, although it is visible her vocal condition has seen better days, I dont mind. Brava!" By eegreen.
I don't care what who thinks who is better at what aria. The fact that Montserrat was singing this well at 71 (!!!!!!) is a heck of an accomplishment within itself.
Agree with Sempion. And the audience goes nuts. They're nuts because they are applauding what once was. I sang with her in 1981 and remember the singer that WAS.
She don't say " hi " but " AY! ". She's concerned about how difficult is this aria for a singer aged 75. She smiles, looking for people support. Then everybody celebrates her good sense of humour when she prepares to face this piece. Notice the endless final ovation.
Amazingly, she's 74. According to Wikipedia, she was born 4/12/33. It ultimately doesn't matter what size she is, or her voice; She's been an amazing singer since she became famous in the 60's (and she was singing a while before that). I had the pleasure of attending a recital of hers at thye Auditorium Theater in the early 80's when I was studying voice.She was spell-binding whether singing early italian arias or singing bel canto. One of my favorite voices of all time.
no one can sound like this at the age of 71 ! this is a miracle considering her age . she is sounding better than callas singing the same song in her farwell concert in london and callas was only in her 40s
Whatever, she must be in her 60s or 70s here, so give the woman some credit. She sounds fantastic for her age and she looks great too. Who cares if she's overweight. She was one of the greatest sopranos of the second half of the 20th century. Brava Caballe!
This is just beautiful - I would love to have heard her sing this when she was younger but what an amazing voice at 71. I have listened to this song by other artists and Montserrat just nails it.
Montserrat Caballe has a career and a life that the most of us only dream of. Critics go away and let the rest of us enjoy her the way she is...fat and happy. She is the best. BRAVO!
Sra, Caballé, la Diva más grande junto con Maria Callas.... Leyendas vivas de la opera de todos los tiempos...mis más grandes aplausos y "bravo" de todos los tiempos y lugares para usted, Sra..
I Love this WOMAN! The Best Soprano ever! The best pianos,the best fortees,the best crescendos and diminuendos ever,beautiful,rare,pure and unique voice.. Real Bell Canto !God Bless Montserrat!
there will never be complete agreement, everyone hears in a different way and what is beautiful to one will be the opposite to another! I adore Caballe and to me her voice thrills at any age. in her youth she truly deserved the title la superba and even into later and then old age she retained the magic which is star quality, the voice may not have the supreme control of the past but her expression and warmth remain, and she can still float those beautiful soft notes, brava Montse!
Para tener más de 70 años la GRAN Caballé no deja de ser estupenda. No cabe duda que en su época de esplendor fue mejor, pero sigue siendo muy admirable.
I simply love Caballe, and always will do for her intelligence, her musicality, her pianissimos , her voice, her legato and her phrasing. This is not her at her best, but everything I love about her plus a great personality is here. Just a thing, will people PLEASE stop making negative remarks about her size? It just shows how shallow some of you are, and also with the Callas comparisons and the criticisms that she's singing flat when people half her age have sung much flatter than this.
The voice is nowhere near what it used to be, but still it's even more moving and endearing. I'm almost moved to tears by her sincerity and spirit as well as that divine color and aroma of her voice.
sin duda como dcen los entendidos es la ultima diva pura que nos queda disfrutemolas, por que no habra otra omo ella, como tampoco hay otra callas,da pena pensar que un dia se apagara su voz unica,aunque nos deje su extraordinaro legado musical,por seres como la cavalle,la vida se puede ver y oir aun mejor. cavalle forever, y felicidades por tu recien divinos 80 cumpleaños
Love YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUU...MONTSERRAT ! God Bless CABALLE .#1 Super-Diva.NY Times was right Tebaldi+Callas=Caballe ! You are still The BEST in 2006. Bravissimo !
Todas estas votaciones, inmensas es POR LA GRAN SIMPATIA que derrocha esta mujer, linda, amable, hermosa, quizas a los 72 años canta esta aria demasiado bien! prefiero a ella cantando arias dramaticas, para las romanticas hay otras, pero NO DEJA DE SER UN ICONO MUNDIAL!!!! de las mejores de TODOS LOS TIEMPOS. BRAVA MONSE!!!!!
Not only its the end of the show. Caballe was 71 years old in this performance !!!! That she remaind with that voice at that age its amazing !!! Callas/Caballe........i cant decide ! :)
TE AMOO MONtSERRAT... sos muyy genia...ojala todos pudieran entender el correcto uso de una buena tecnica... y te tengan a vos como ejemplo a seguir...
whenever I hear Caballe, I picture a veteran voice teacher at some prestigious conservatory. I can just imagine her with some student and miming to her while the student is on stage.
Montserrat Caballe!!! I fell in love with youuuuu T^T your voice is so magnificent, i wish i could sing like the way you do one day~ *huggles* XDDDDD i'll be your fannnnnnn ever!!
Magnífica, digna da composição e da fama que a abraçou. Quisera todas as pseudo estrelas da arte aprendessem essa simpatia e beleza que passa para sua interpretação... Linda!
Listen to the others and you will come to the realization that you have just witnessed greatness. Those who have the audacity to question her voice have only her youth possibly to judge it by.
Les prestations de Caballé sont au moins restées dignes jusqu'au début des années 2000. On n'a pas trop de mal ici à retrouver de beaux souvenirs. Mais à partir de 2007-8 s'est devenu globalement pathétique, et depuis 2010- laissons de côté quelques heureuses exceptions- c'est à glacer le sang et le coeur.
@alixvhessen What are you talking about? This is a beautiful performance... Why, when she's still alive and can sing, should she just end her career? Many people still want to hear to live, and experience Caballe.
You have no idea of nothing. She's sings here better than 95% of young sopranos today.
Montserrat Caballe brings true beauty to this world when she sings!
Anyone who has a negative comment to make about her should perhaps take stock of what contributions they have made.
Surely she is the most beautiful bel canto of all time. You needn't hear them all to know this is perfection! Dear God what a voice!
I like her!!!!! Her voice and she as person!!! A wonderful and funny lady!!!! Her voice is glorious!!!!
What more can you say??? Perfection, I watch, and watch with amazement with quiet wonder, her voice is a gift from the heavens, to touch a wretch like me, I cry...
She`s the best opera singer EVER!!!!11
Caballe here demonstrates her complete control of every person in the room.She was one of the few who could turn her back to the audience and they would still love here and want more.At 71 years of age she has nothing to prove.She had done it all.
Aus Freude nicht aus Konkurenz.
Her use of pianissimo is amazing! Most sopranos can only dream of that simplicity and power in a note so soft as those A's!
She deserves all the respect. Brava.
"Her impressive technique, legatto and musicality has her here, she manages to express all that is needed and more, and makes it incredibly soothing to listen, that's what this singing is all about, not a demonstration of vocal power and aesthetic timbre without technique as some singers do... i admire her, although it is visible her vocal condition has seen better days, I dont mind. Brava!" By eegreen.
She is beutiful if only there were more people like her in the world.
I don't care what who thinks who is better at what aria. The fact that Montserrat was singing this well at 71 (!!!!!!) is a heck of an accomplishment within itself.
I love her... she always so funny... she has the same size of her sense humor. ENORMOUS sense of humor ;-)
How much I adore this woman !!!

Das ist Monterat Cabelle. Einfach schön❤
What an Honor it must have been for "Freddie Mercury" to sing with this lady!
She simply is the BEST............
Bravo Madame!!!!!!!!
So eine herzliche.. Keine singt es bis jetzt so schön wie Monserat Cabelle🙏
Am I the only one who thinks that her voice sounds absolutely amazing for 71...??
Nein. Ihre Stimme klingt fantastisch. Monterat Cabelle ist einzigartig dazu. So wie sie sich gab, sehe ich bei keinem.
At an age over 70, she still managed to sing so great. What a Maestro!
to sing is a gift. To sing it this way is a lesson. Thanks Monterrat Caballe for sharing a part of you.
Amazingly, she's 74. According to Wikipedia, she was born 4/12/33. It ultimately doesn't matter what size she is, or her voice; She's been an amazing singer since she became famous in the 60's (and she was singing a while before that).

One of my favorite voices of all time.
A superb diva... she overcame awful health problems, and still sang like a true star aterwards. Legend :)
Excellent voice technique! A great deal of breathing ease, relaxed muscles and delivery! Very soothing to the ears! Bravo!
¡La más grande!
no one can sound like this at the age of 71 ! this is a miracle considering her age . she is sounding better than callas singing the same song in her farwell concert in london and callas was only in her 40s
True❤

This is just beautiful - I would love to have heard her sing this when she was younger but what an amazing voice at 71. I have listened to this song by other artists and Montserrat just nails it.
I love this voice! Monserrat is amazing - already for years. Thank you god we had the oportunity to hear her voice! Really big artist.
Montserrat Caballe has a career and a life that the most of us only dream of. Critics go away and let the rest of us enjoy her the way she is...fat and happy. She is the best. BRAVO!
Sie sagte über Fett ihre Größe.
Freddysagte man macht Musik mit dem Herzen oder singt mit dem herzen❤
Sra, Caballé, la Diva más grande junto con Maria Callas....
Leyendas vivas de la opera de todos los tiempos...mis más grandes aplausos y "bravo" de todos los tiempos y lugares para usted, Sra..
I love her. What a voice. It is a gift from God.
I Love this WOMAN! The Best Soprano ever! The best pianos,the best fortees,the best crescendos and diminuendos ever,beautiful,rare,pure and unique voice.. Real Bell Canto !God Bless Montserrat!
Caballe was one of my first exposures to Opera when I was very young, this piece has made me fall in love with her voice all over again.
Bravo! Bravissimo! Yes indeed, a true Diva, the great Montserrat is simply stupendous; I love her rendition of this aria.
She's superb at any age. Brava, Signora Montserrat. She's a DIVA of the opera. A real talent and most of all well administrated.
Unbelievable…once again missing her so much ❤
the collaborative pianist in this song is amazing! He plays with such a gentle touch. I would love to sing with someone like that!
there will never be complete agreement, everyone hears in a different way and what is beautiful to one will be the opposite to another! I adore Caballe and to me her voice thrills at any age. in her youth she truly deserved the title la superba and even into later and then old age she retained the magic which is star quality, the voice may not have the supreme control of the past but her expression and warmth remain, and she can still float those beautiful soft notes, brava Montse!
So beautiful aria and the stunning voice of Montserrat Caballé.
One of the greatest sopranos of all time
I could hear this 20 times a day and still be in love :-) such a beautiful voice and made for this piece
best interpretation ever
Brava! This voice would be amazing at any age.
Ooooh my!! Ive heard this version by many MANY singers but this one is just WOW!! So beautiful so sublime!
Wonderful Maybe the best version of O Mio Bambino Caro I've ever heard. And she is 70 years old here! Brava
That beautiful, clear and bell-like tone. I just adore Monserrat's singing. She is a true Diva - as in Goddess! What a beautiful performance!
She was 70 when shew sang this. She always was great and always will be great.
Stay in good health, Monseratt! This is the best Casta Diva. Just think, how much energy and soul she puts in her very performance.
Hey..........grande Montserrat!!!!!Muy lindo......muy lindo😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘🤘🤘🤘🤘♥️♥️♥️
Para tener más de 70 años la GRAN Caballé no deja de ser estupenda. No cabe duda que en su época de esplendor fue mejor, pero sigue siendo muy admirable.
We enjoy listening to her lovely voice---she is very expressive and to see her in person would be an experience!!!! Love her singing!!
I agree that she should call it quits. She will go down in history as having one of the most beautiful voices in opera.
Gott lob hat sie das nicht. Ich hatte wie andere sie als Person vermisst.
I know stuff all about music, and i only sing in the bath/ to the radio, but this woman can sing!! It made me cry and touched my soul - am hooked.
Bravissima! She does not need any electronic device for a perfect performing!!!!She 's the best!
I simply love Caballe, and always will do for her intelligence, her musicality, her pianissimos , her voice, her legato and her phrasing. This is not her at her best, but everything I love about her plus a great personality is here. Just a thing, will people PLEASE stop making negative remarks about her size? It just shows how shallow some of you are, and also with the Callas comparisons and the criticisms that she's singing flat when people half her age have sung much flatter than this.
Gorgeous, of course -- brought tears to my eyes. A true diva, in all senses of the word.
The best version I hear so far. Thanks for loading
The voice is nowhere near what it used to be, but still it's even more moving and endearing. I'm almost moved to tears by her sincerity and spirit as well as that divine color and aroma of her voice.
Wonderful....enjoy this so much!!! Thanks for posting.

sin duda como dcen los entendidos es la ultima diva pura que nos queda disfrutemolas, por que no habra otra omo ella, como tampoco hay otra callas,da pena pensar que un dia se apagara su voz unica,aunque nos deje su extraordinaro legado musical,por seres como la cavalle,la vida se puede ver y oir aun mejor.

Listen to the others and you will come to the realization that you have just witnessed greatness. Those who have the audacity to question her voice have only her youth possibly to judge it by.
Questa donna è un angelo!
She is my favorite soprano, she is such a nice, sweet lady, I hope I can get to meet her someday. Her voice is just amazing!
71 years old... Wow

It's magical, no matter who sings it .
