Sì, la folgorazione avvenne con ALCESTE nel 1967 a Roma, direttore Gui. Nella stessa stagione cantò la LUCREZIA BORGIA. Da allora non ho mai smesso di amarla e seguirla. Oltretutto era una mosca bianca fra i cantanti,specie di allora: colta, preparata in campo teatrale,letterario, musicale. Una volta fece una conferenza-concerto a Roma. All'uscita, sentendoci discutere sull'Otello DI Verdi e di Rossini, disse: ecco ciò che mi piace.Queste discussioni accalorate sulla musica. Stupenda artista,musicista,cantante,donna. Manca moltissimo, Nostra Signora dei Turchi. Grazie, Leyla: la tua vita è stata veramente al servizio della musica. RIP.
Grandissima Artista. L'ho conosciuta quando venne a cantare a Genova attorno al 1967 col M° Barbirolli, e dopo tornò per altri spettacoli. Aveva una padronanza della scena ed una voce bellissima !!!! Meravigliosa !!!!
One of the evergreats and surely one of the most underrated of all sopranos. She is a superstar! If she had recorded more she would be a household name. But we are lucky to listen to the few clips that exist. A voice like this is not found anywhere in the World today, sadly…..and not just the voice - her wonderful interpretations, one of the greatest Leonoras and Aidas......
There's many pirated operas with her. The record companies didn't want her or with Tebaldi, Callas, Sutherland and Zeani singing then.... even Zeani doesn't have much out there as far as studio recordings. Nor does Elinor Ross or Marisa Galvany who would have been fantastic in this opera as clips of their Norma bare out
Leyla Gencer has a different way to get me to still love Pirata's finale. Bless her, tough gal like a pirate and they called her the Queen of the Pirates at one time. She is touching, moving, and thank you for letting me get past col sorriso-- bellini's gem of cantabile with so striking an ending; the floor is strong.
Yesterday I thought it was a joke (Fool's day....) :-D but then I was so happy this beautiful video come out!!!! Thanks for uploading.... we need more Gencer rarities!
J'aime beaucoup Gencer ,bien qu'elle soit très inégale selon les soirées ,tout comme l'était Callas .Elles sont comparables en talent et en répertoire ,avec toutes deux une fabuleuse technique et des timbres très particuliers .Ici on la sent en difficulté et elle chante prudemment ,sans réel panache ni liberté d'expression .Elle peut être en fin de carrière à ce moment là .Elle a été l'une des plus grandes du 20 e siècle et la seule avec Callas à faire alterner Lady Macbeth avec Lucia Di Lamermoor ou Abigail le avec Constance de l'enlèvement au sérail.Ces gens étaient des artistes sans limites .
I was waiting for this piece of art for a long time and finally I am allowed to listen. Thanks a lot swearty203 Adorable Leyla Gencer, though past to her prime here, her magnetism, musicianship and sincerity melts my heart. what could this be in 1960 ?
I heard Gencer in her prime [1965 at the Rome Opera in Gluck's Alceste] and she was absolute perfection. She understood the Gluck compositional demands and the need to bring the dramatic struggle of the soprano to the forefront. It was one of the performances that after more than 50 years of attending opera on four continents I still hold in very high esteem.
Αllan Rizzetti a couple of days ago, spoils us with this incomparable Alceste.A very unique performance. Not only Leyla is in her best period ,buf also the magic genius of Gui ,who was one of the very few, to feel the style & the tempi of neoclassical operas. He repeats the miracle he did with Callas Medea '53. His gifted student Previtali ,conducts the same way the M.Vitale- Vestale
How perfect she was, better than the so cold prima donna's of her time, because she was the music and interpretations servant and not making herself inportant with colours, or anything else, Bravaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Una rara stella nel mondo di opera, una vocalità dotata di sfumature celestiale. Grande professionista che si preparava nota dopo nota con un peso vocale incomparabile ❤️👏👏👏👏💞
Думаю, в 20 веке были две абсолютно уникальные певицы по всем качествам, на эстраде это Мильва, в академии великая Лейла Генчер. И то, что обе были недооценены, только подтверждает их истинную великость.
Straordinaria, la ricordo alla fine della sua carriera con un Macbeth dove iniziai la mia carriera di musicista, allora voce bianca , in una delle apparizioni nell opera , lei era esigente, molto diva , si percepiva che la voce non l aiutava piu , ma la ricordo una leonessa in scena , grande interprete e voce sublime
Way past her prime but still better than most in a challenging programme with Nabucco and Lucrezia, and an orchestra that had hardly ever played this repertoire...
Lovely lady. good effort and should not be compared with other famous stars like , Callas, Caballe. Aliberti all of them provided amazing rendition... in my opinion Caballet was the front runner
She was a similar soprano to Caballe and Callas. This mad scene literally takes the soprano and stretches their ability to the limits. Bellini wrote this to demonstrate extreme pathos while exhibiting coloratura and beautiful pianissimo notes. Gencer is amazing!!
Leyla e' stata una grande cantante ed una grande artista. Con la Caballe' non aveva nulla in comune e ancor meno con la Callas. Ma e' stata una artista di riferimento ed artisticamente era piuttosto autonoma pur avendo agito nel solco lasciato dalla Maria. Oggi non esiste un soprano che la possa sostituire in qualche maniera.
Her vocal technique totally different than that of Callas or Sutherland but very effective.A very intelligent artist. It's well known that Maria got some help from Gencer in the 60's when working with vocal problems in the upper range they were not rivals,
Both Gencer and Cerquetti were great admirers of Callas. I think they both recognized genius when they saw it. I think the story about Callas getting help from Gencer is fiction.
Frankly singer's in the past were often colleagues and not rivals. Giullitta Simionato spoke of discussing support issues with Maria because she was asked by Callas to help her understand register issues. When Simionato pointed to the early demands on a teenaged body to sing adult repertoire and the strain to her muscular development that had to be addressed, it was welcome advice from a friend. This was in a printed interview I read personally, not anecdotal.
Watch Callas during this introduction and you'll understand why she is a legend....at least partly. The modern form of stage deportment is to simply stand there.
Absolutely. In any concert performance you can see Callas becoming the character during the introduction so that when she looks up for the first sung note she is no longer Calls but the character she is performing. I use the word performing because even in a concert venue Callas is never just singing.
this is not a theatre stage. on theatrical stage leyla gencer is also legend like maria callas. here she is on a broadcast of turkish state television. still you can "see" the acting in her voice. she never solely sings the notes. the drama is always there and intense. both are legends. why this stupid comparison? callas herself always appreciated gencer.
Leyla Gencer was a great artist and a unique soprano which pay justice to Donizetti, Bellini and the young Verdi. But it's a pity she sang this in 1974 and not 10 years before... To say the less. PS : for whom wouldn't understand, it's much better than almost all the soprano who sang this the past 20 years (at least), but not the best we can heard from her and from this scene. To say also the least.
Un peu décevant. Elle semble préoccupée, les yeux tantôt sur la partition tantôt sur le chef. Cela ressemble plus à une répétition qu'à une représentation. Sans doute chantait-elle cette aria pour la première fois et sans beaucoup de répétitions.
Uhm… un paio di commenti questo video li merita. Il primo sulla direzione orchestrale, davvero brutta, soprattutto nel finale, dove la corsa avvolge gli strumenti in una sorta di corsa da banda di paese. Stupisce francamente Leyla, che considero una brava cantante, non solo per la bella voce (oltre a essere stata una bella donna e con bella presenza scenica) ma anche e soprattutto per le sue capacità interpretative: penso ad esempio a una sua stupenda Aida, o a La forza del destino, ppure Nabucco, dove il "sacro fuoco" della recitazione è sempre emerso e con forza. Qui in questo video, nel pieno della sua maturità artistica (aveva 46 anni), appare stranamente affaticata, slegata, il registro basso è bello limpido eppure si scolla dal resto. Molti respiri, pochi legati… strano per una artista del suo calibro. E quell'acuto finale a piena rincorsa non è proprio bello. Forse non era in forma quella sera, chissà...
Eric Sathie hai perfettamente ragione ma secondo me quella sera non c'era proprio con la voce! Altre registrazioni dello stesso anno sono davvero belle!
@@Tkimba2 , sopravvivi al dilagare e l'imperversare delle Bartoli e delle Garyfulline? Perché questo passera' in futuro il convento..ma le monache di clausura non fanno piu' i dolcetti di pasta di mandorle perché le mandorle sono sempre piu' amare...un affettuosissimo saluto.
Leyla Gencer a une technique qu'on apprécie ou pas, mais je la trouve ici surtout extérieure au drame, et peut-être n'a-t-elle pas tout simplement la voix d'Imogena, manque de grave, et un technique un peu déficiente en agilité. Quant à l'orchestre et la direction c'est presque du niveau d' amateurisme.
David Rosales Me parece un comentario injusto. En este vídeo La Gencer no estaba en lo más alto de su carrera ( tampoco lo estaba Callas con la misma edad, cabe decirlo), pero creo que, aún entendiendo que Callas fue única, no andaban taaaaan lejos en óperas como Vespri, Don Carlo, Macbeth, Trovatore, Bolena, Ballo in Maschera, Forza, Aida... ambas eran artistas muy temperamentales con un especial talento para abordar emociones como la ira, la maldad o la agresividad. ¿Si la Gencer no puede compararse con la Callas, quién puede entonces?
Leilog respeto su postura... Aún poseyendo particularidades que la hicieron única... me resultó pedante y despótico de su parte compararse con Maria Callas. Por último... Maria Callas no necesita ser defendida ya que le avalan un sin fin de producciónes, grabaciones y contratos que habla por si sólos. Callas fue leyenda, y es parte de una historia que ha merecido ser contada. Sin mencionar y meternos de lleno a sus cualidades técnicas... que sin lugar a dudas fueron extraordinarias. No tengo la misma estima por la soprano Leyla... que básicamente no despierta nada de mi interés.
David Rosague aqui el unico que la esta comparando con callas eres tu. Si no despierta tu interes como te animaste a dejar un comentario tan desagradable? y llamando a otros pedante...

Kendrick Jacocks I believe she was called queen of pirates since most of her best recordings were pirated, not studio recordings.
A P She was completely ignored by record companies.

Wow this is amazing...especially as I did not know Gencer ever sang the Pirata mad scene. I only have her singing it in recital.

Why do they keep taking the camera away from her face!! Terrible direction. But wonderful to see her thank you!!!
Elle dirige le morceau par son jeu de voix. C'est envoutant.

Lovely lady. good effort and should not be compared with other famous stars like , Callas, Caballe. Aliberti all of them provided amazing rendition... in my opinion Caballet was the front runner
Back handed compliment.
To me she could’ve sung Imogene! She had a splendid voice like Montserrat Caballé.
She is the best soprano I've ever heard. Best of all I like her Mozart's interpretations, although she is concedered a Donizetty soprano.
She was a similar soprano to Caballe and Callas. This mad scene literally takes the soprano and stretches their ability to the limits. Bellini wrote this to demonstrate extreme pathos while exhibiting coloratura and beautiful pianissimo notes. Gencer is amazing!!

JAdal Matamoros i didn't know that. Interesting
Callas never got help from Gencer. Callas and Gencer never met after Callas left Milan.
Lol that never happened
Both Gencer and Cerquetti were great admirers of Callas. I think they both recognized genius when they saw it. I think the story about Callas getting help from Gencer is fiction.

walk in the lights, your shadows prides
This is sad to see - I have only heard her in a couple of other things, but she must be well past her prime here.
C'est sûr, çà n'est plus maintenant qu'on entendra çà en Turquie. Herr Dogan veille au grain islamiste.

Semplicemente negli anni 70 era finita
@@Tkimba2, ciao. Guarda che Leyla dal vivo era sempre meravigliosa, anche senza voce. Mica era come la Bartoli. Tutto bene?

Brava, ma qui non era in piena forma
I love Gencer, but this not one of her best performance, il fraseggio bellininano manca completamente e la direzione terribile.
Il n'y a pas de mise en scène. Il s'agît d'un concert...
Leyla Gencer a une technique qu'on apprécie ou pas, mais je la trouve ici surtout extérieure au drame, et peut-être n'a-t-elle pas tout simplement la voix d'Imogena, manque de grave, et un technique un peu déficiente en agilité. Quant à l'orchestre et la direction c'est presque du niveau d' amateurisme.
Qualcuno sa dirmi cosa NON ha cantato la Gencer ?😀😀😀
Turandot, Mimì, Manon Lescaut, Armida, Wagner in toto, Alice, ecc
It's all just a little flat and the coloratura technique very peculiar and to my ears not very attractive.
You're right about being flat. The final high C misses being a B flat only by a hair.
Se comparó con Callas... Que lejos estuvo de serlo... honestamente!!!
