@@andrearchiecameron I wish I could be there. Thanks for your comments. I am sure this is one of the unforgettable experiences that one could ever could imagine ! ( I hope my english is clear, because it is not my native language ).
Elena was one of a kind Mezzo, sang with her soul.. and her voice was always recognizable, there was o other voice like hers. I have this film of Zeffirelli on DVD and have her in Carmen with Domingo from Vienna Opera. I always cry when I watch this film, she portrays the suffering of a scorned woman like nobody else.
Is she a mezzo? I ask because this role was originally written for spinto soprano and spinto are often mistaken for mezzo. I don't know about her for sure that's why I ask. But I totally agree she surely pours all that raw emotion here
@@BytomGirl I see. Well then it is interesting that they picked a mezzo to get to sing a piece for spinto but then again their voice timbre are pretty close so if the mezzo has good range she can sing this piece. I see. She died relatively recently then...
@@andity1 That is because the role is Spinto Soprano and spinto is a generally rarer fach than lyric or dramatic soprano so many roles that are alleged to spinto soprani are often sung by other fachs I admit I do not see a lot a mezzo singing the role of a spinto though. I usually see lyric or lyrico-dramatic soprani taking those parts instead. It makes sense for Santuzza though since she has some really good low notes here and there so yes I can see why
Tragedy is built deeply into the Russian soul, just take a look at Gogol (nope, not Google :)). This is why Russian artists make such great impersonations of dramatic roles. So emotional, so real, because it is felt and experienced first hand!
AmatureComposer is right about Barbieri, whose gotten up in her years. During the 80s she appeared in lots of movie and stage productions in roles we would never associate her with before: Giovanna in "Rigoletto," Bersi, and here as Mamma Lucia (which I have on DVD). I also own her EMI recording as Puccini's la Zia Principessa opposite de los Angeles's Suor Angelica; she's really distant and merciless there. Here she is regal but comforting; I hope Obraztsova picked up some pointers.
Она меццо!!! Драматическое меццо! Послушайте какие у неё верха стальные. У сопрано верх свободный, круглый, легко дается.. Если не понимаете, то не пишите лучше

Величайшая певица мира!!!
Сантуцца в её исполнении номер один.
Душа и сердце поёт вместе с ней.
След, которую ты оставила на Земле Будет с нами Вечна.
I was playing in the orchestra on this recording. She was FABULOUS. Every performance at La Scala had me in tears.
Wow!!! 🥰😍😍❤❣❣❣ What instrument did you play?
viola

Любима ария от любима певица!Неповторима!
Grandissima Elena Obraztsova ❤TVB❤RIP❤
The best mezzo in the past 50 years.
Послушайте Ирину Архипову. Вот она считается лучшим меццо.
She is class,sounds very old school,up there with simonata and cossotto for me.
Barbieri as Mama Lucia it's EVERYTHING!!! 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
Mamma mia che voce e che interpretazione! Le mie lacrime di commozione e la mia pelle d'oca dicono già tutto!Come vorrei essere brava così...
Obrastza Diva absoluta ... maior de todos os tempos
Magnifico! L'interpretazione di Jelena è... una meraviglia... 💖😿😿😿
Obratsova, que voz magnífica!! Una Santuzza desgarradora.
Immenso mezzosoprano.

@@katerinaaqu Yes, she was 100% mezzo.. she was amazing, died in 2015

@@katerinaaqu Santuzza is sung both by sopranos and mezzos. Many casts today are with a mezzo-soprano.

También se podría incluir este fragmento, en un pensar,meditar, desear, al percibir visualmente que su prometido le es infiel.-
Anyone know where I find this aria on RUclips with subtitles in English?
It's on my other channel, Lino Anzoletti, with English, French, German, Spanish and Italian subtitles.
@badabing24601 she hasn't died! She's still alive and well! nothing could keep this spirit down.
@Pimprenelle1982 quanto è vero...
Здесь мне нравится больше чем другие записи. Но так грузит середину,как бы изображая меццо когда им не являешься
Она меццо!!! Драматическое меццо! Послушайте какие у неё верха стальные. У сопрано верх свободный, круглый, легко дается.. Если не понимаете, то не пишите лучше
Her vibrato is... Eh.. Big!
Can’t help loving her anyway.
Hehe I believe that older schools did encourage intense vibrato more than nowadays but I think she also does it to show that she is crying
Che differenza evidente tra scuola russa e quella italiana....
