thank for the comment on "Monte Ivnor", here Leyla Genger was so beautiful and perfect. Her interpratation was not only appreciate for "pianissimi" but in all the Opera for her grat Lirismo and pathos, a real Great Voice. I have the pleasure to know her many years ago.. and talk with her many times with the Maestro Gian Andrea Gavazzeni dear friend of my father the Autor of "Monte Ivnor". All the times wasa real rich experience. Thanks Leyla.
You must be proud of your father as "Monte Ivnor" is one of best pieces of opera composed in the 20th century. However it is not appretiated as it should be. It has all the complexities of a modernist opera but I'm sure it will get the credit it deserves. I'm glad that Gencer sung it on stage at her prime and I'm glad this piece of art is gonna live with her voice for ever.
Il pianissimo di Leyla. Indimenticabile, irripetibile, unico. Leyla sempre sará ricordata per la il suo arte, la sua magia e il suo dono divino per il canto e la parola, che la a diventato il cantactrice più espressivo del secolo scorso. Arte, semplicemente arte.
@tklogan111809 I was thinking about including that, too but you can't clearly hear Gencer singing there because of the sound quality as she sings along with the chorus. But I may make another video and include it. She has millions of beautiful pianissimi :)
@sezgin86 I don't know what recording you have but the quality of sound is fabulous, in fact I uploaded it last night. Search Gencer Requiem Donizetti :)
You should have used the Palermo Macbeth (1960 Gui conducting) rather than the Venice ('68 - Gavazzeni?) where she actually sings (and floats) the Db divinely!
@tklogan111809 Sorry I've just seen itand oh my god! i can't believe what i hear! i heard from people that she had longer held notes but i've never heard them. many thanks!
@tklogan111809 Oh you meant that. I thought you were talking about "preghiera" from Maria Stuarda. I didn't have this recording. Do you mind sending me Donizetti's Requiem?

Only Leyla and Montserrat could float their notes in this sublime and spine tingling manner. 🥰

Incredibile. Quando il suono tocca il paradiso. Che Artista.
Without Gencer PPP there would be no Caballe PPP.
Thanks for making this Video!
Gencer´s Pianissimi are legendary but most important ,in my Opinion,was how she used them.This art is lost I guess
Divine...love it..thanks for posting

It is art and she knew how to do it!
great video, you missed her most ravishing and longest perhaps, in the Donizetti Requiem, 23 seconds.
Indeed! Here, she transponed it down, the last acord (last three notes) I mean.
Meravigliosa

@Lweoira It is definitely Gencer, but it is from 80s, nearly the end of her career.

@sezgin86 hey I posted it as a video response, did you see it? what do you think? :)
🥺🥺🥺🥺🤍
Sezgin: It happens you don't notice Gencer pianissimi are nores in falsetto (false notes)
Federico Mastrangelo Not true
mariano barbieri Have you asked her?
I know what she would answer.
It is true, Gencer pianissimi are not connected with the rest of her voice, are false notes
Federico Mastrangelo Have you asked her?
Federico Mastrangelo Yes you're the best!
