    Superbe malgré son "cor" final. Pour le "...cosi", il faut remonter avant 94. Mais cela n'enlève rien à la beauté, et le "cor" permet le maintien du pianissimo sans coupure.

    Coupla thangs. Why can't opera audiences wait 5 seconds between the end of such an aria and the yells of "Brava!"? IT always feels so selfish, as if that jerk in row 12 just HAS to let everyone know he approves. Could we let the aria settle before breaking the mood? (it's kind of related to the opposite problem in orchestral movements: you might listen to the first movement of, say, Brahms Concert #1 and then give NO response, when clearly one is warranted... but that's another matter.)
    The other thing, has anyone out there ever seen a Tosca performed where she's a tigress full of fury--at Scarpia, God, the world-- rather than a dainty artiste-type? Just imagine how brilliant it would be if she were full of strength and rage throughout. It'd enhance the whole dynamic with Scarpia. This aria would be changed from a pity-party to an accusation against the Almighty. Has no one ever performed it that way?

      Thank you! I love Tosca every time I see it, but I keep waiting for someone to sing this as if she were raging in a furious helplessness: Why is this happening to me?! Why did God let this happen?

      I was asked last month if I might be interested in being the fight choreographer for a pro production of Tosca. I had to tell the folks running it that I hadn't done THAT kind of stage combat but that I HAD choreographed Don Giovanni's duel at the beginning of the opera. They went with someone else, but I thought it might have been interesting.

      ​@@ClassicvideofanI've never heard anyone else do this, she was unique. Another example of her phenomenal breath control can be heard in the RCA La Boheme. At the end of Act I she sings "Amor, amor... amor" in one breath, without a break before the pianissimo high C (thus upstaging her tenor, who of course DOES need to take a big breath there).

      Really? I agree with the 'cosi' but we'll never know why she sang that. The h between vowels I couldn't hear at all and I doubt it was actually there. The voice though is sublime and the control impeccable.

    • @lmf5299
      @lmf5299 15 дней назад +1

      @robertmcnamara5407 Yes, unfortunately that h was there everywhere. A lot of Italian and Spanish singers have that bad habit of adding an h between vowels often especially when doing fast notes. The worst culprit of them all is Cecilia Bartoli. German and French singers avoid that in general. The sound is then much cleaner and elegant. Another big culprit was Carlo Bergonzi. Check that out and you'll see.

      I actually saw Bergonzi in Munich in 1989, when I was very young, and he sang like a god. The public went crazy applauding, including me, and he had to give about 5 encores. It's just the h between vowels. That's all I don't like. And it's a matter of taste mostly.

    The diminuendo is exquisite but unfortunately the "Signor" preceding it is really ugly.
    That's the problem with Caballe (except in her prime). Queen of pianissimi but definitely not Queen of fortissimi.
