She was one of the greatest singers of all time. And astonishing perfect in lyric operas as in dramatic works with Kundry, Sieglinde, the Wagner-repertoir. And from the optic impression she was so elegant.
In San Francisco, I adored her as Die Marschallin in "Rosenkavalier." I feel your reference to "a time when." It all sounds like "Opera-lite" to me now.
ok so I'm the last troglodyte to catch on to RUclips. Crespin had it all. I adored her as Marschallin in Rosenkavalier, my time as a kid in San Francisco. It means alot to me, in these times, to be able to hear more of this rare and fabulous gift.
I saw her in Tosca on stage (with Corelli,and Bacquier at l'Opéra de Paris) she was a real lionness on stage , and I can telle you that "her" Vissi d'Arte was a treasure,when once speak about Tosca , always he turns backs to Callas , I saw her(also),I can just tell you that after Callas we had Crespin,very different but very close too.And with a incredible voice,too!Just fascinating!
This is absolutely GREAT ! I really saw Crespin in that costume in Tosca at l'Opéra de Paris with Corelli and Bacquier !!! It was just the perfection ! What a voice ! The right Tosca's voice , the power,the temperament ! She has been one of the best Tosca after Callas !!! Can you imagine "today" to heve such a performance of Tosca ???? NEVER more
@@paragod333 some things are beyond comparison. In my privileged youth, I adored Crespin as Marschallin, but too late for Callas. BUT, Kurt Herbert Adler in San Francisco often employed a perfectly competent (sorry) soprano, Renata Scotto. Charisma is a mystery: Renata could sing, but not so much with the "from the soul" factor. I can't comment on "today."
Always loved Regine Crespin's voice. Given her outstanding qualities as an artist, I am still struck by how feminine and sexy I always found her sound to be.
You mistake diction for spianato. I'll listen to her "Vissi d'arte" again for this question of chopping the line. But anyway, diction indeed deals first with pronunciation. And her way of colouring words is one of the most accomplished and praised ever. Go to her "D'amour l'ardente flamme" to see what I mean.
Inpeccable diction would also involve not breaking sentences to take breath where it makes no sense: anima (breath) viva; conobbi (breath) aiutar; fiori (breath) al. Diction is not only pronunciation it is also makeing sense of words.... but the voice is georgous

The B flat is quite low, and she handles the ending poorly. A very large and lovely voice, but technically deficient, as her collapse in the late 60's demonstrated.
Very beautiful voice indeed with an individual quality. With a less strained and more radiant high register she would have been in one league with the ultimate primadonnas such as Sutherland, Tebaldi, Nilsson, Caballé or Norman. Because of that deficiency, there are only some roles where she was brilliant, such as Marschallin (under Varviso, not Solti) and Desdemona. But these are truly magnificent.
@@YDVDNVRR Tebaldi high notes are much better than Jessye Norman and Caballe high notes. Leontyne Price is a lyrical soprano with lyrical and small high notes

Proud to be a distant relative of hers❤
Another extraordinary singer from a time when voices like these seemed abundant - what a sound!!
In San Francisco, I adored her as Die Marschallin in "Rosenkavalier." I feel your reference to "a time when." It all sounds like "Opera-lite" to me now.
An absolute astonishing voice !! Not to mention her incredible interpretation of this magical Aria.
And this impeccable diction in the great french opera tradition...
Many people aren’t aware that she was half Italian.
Wow, that was brilliant- vocally, but also regarding the interpretation! Huge admiration for this larger than life artist
Merveilleux! cette dame est la gloire absolue du chant français!

She is indeed the greatest soprano, wish I was older to listen to her gorgeous voice live..
thank u for the post. i sure wish we had her marschallin and charlotte. i truly loved her.
she was a hoot to know. what a grand dame.

Amazing and emotional voice. Brava.
That's a really helpful description, thank you!
Marvelous to hear her again after the glory yrs at the Met I think 60ties
Wonderful singing :)

Must we add Callas. Crespin was far superior, with a much more beautiful voice

That’s a matter of opinion.
Exquisite to the max! Brava!
From the golden age of opera!
Regine Crespin was greatly loved by Met Opera audiences.
That’s because the Met audience used to have taste.
Superb! ecstasy!
L'une des plus grandes cantatrices du 20e siècle !
The Empire dress is very exact and flatters her flat chest. her singing is impeccbe.
Magique Mme Crespin ! quel dommage qu'on ne lui ait pas confié des intégrales d'opéras italiens à enregistrer!
Quelle belle artiste !

Yes, it does!
What planet do the people who dislike this come from?
Answer: The planet Hopeless, situated just slightly below Uranus.

Molto belle le collane, bei velluti, bellissimi broccati, le tende e tutto...anche i doppieri di Boemia..ma...
How about that Pucinni fella--- some talent!
Je pense qu'elle est le plus grande soprano parmi tous les sopranos...
El color de voz es muy similar al de Nilsson.

Does anyone think that her spinto makes this aria sound "too" relaxed ?
@motardbear15 lucky you... so lucky!!

She lacked the technique to sing italian opera, the voice was not ductile, had no flexibility
@@richat30 Tebaldi's high register wasn’t the best. I’d include Price.
