I'm impressed to see Placido playing the piano and being able to sing effortlessly at the same time, at a professional level! My goodness this takes expertise & talent!
me too. I seen others do it always amazed. (Nat King Cole in the early part of his career, when he had his piano jazz combo was amazing! Singing, and improvising at the same time. Not just accompanying himself)
There is no doubt whatsoever that Dame Eva was one of the most outstanding singers of all times (and no: she did not sing with .... Caruso!) Perfect technique, gorgeous sound, sheer beauty of the line, effortless production (and huge instrument!). She had it all! And to top it all, she most the kindest, unsophisticated and humblest person in the world. Unless so many singers today who believe to be "stars" are tired after two performances in .... a week! And handsome Domingo is a real treat: singing and accompanying himself at the piano! Unique and to-be-treasured moments! Thanks for this excerpt!
Really? Great and "Lucky you"! She was an amazing artist, endowed with a peerless, warm and gigantic voice. She had been very much appreciated in her first years in Italy, notably at Brescia, Bergamo, etc. Her voice so large that some of her younger and less endowed colleagues were afraid to sing with her! And what a humble lady. Bless her. I would dream to find her Turandot's costume and costume jewelry!
She call herself Prima-donna "like Tosca", and many times in the interview with Robert Merril, i dont think that is from an unsophisticated and humblest person...
Placido still had manners then, letting this 95 year old icon sit first before he sat down, unlike the host. Great to see she was in such great health and bright spirits right to the end.
I listened to an interview with her when she was I think, 98, and she said when they recorded she had to stand behind the soloists, orchestra and the chorus, right at the back, so she didn't drown out the other soloists!
El Gran Domingo siendo el artista total que manda que notamos que es el mejor tenor de todos por siempre. Con ese voz tan maravilloso. La senora muy linda y amable. Ver cómo ella reacciona a él. Mil gracias por compartir.
@@Sacha_Kudli He is definitely not neurotic, and he is definitely at ease with his talents. He just knows he wants to do X, then proceeds to do X. Hola Sacha, yes, amazing.
I met Dame Eva at the ROL music competition in the 1980’s; she was adjudicating the chamber music class with Lady Barbirolli … she must have been in her 90’s and still had a huge presence & aura 😊
Eh oui ! Il y a musicien et musicien. On n'imagine pas Pavarotti s'asseoir nonchalamment au piano et se mettre à chanter à tue-tête en s'accompagnant (inutile de m'agonir d'injures, je suis aussi fan de Pavarotti).
@@Sacha_Kudli Mais non, c'était juste ma réponse à la question: par nonchalamment, je ne voulais rien dire de péjoratif, mais simplement que Domingo s'installait, l'air de rien, au piano, sans stress apparent, le plus naturellement du monde, avec une attitude cool et relax ;-)
Dame Eva Turner was not the first Turandot. That was Rosa Raisa at premiere of was at La Scala, Milan, on Sunday 25 April 1926, one year and five months after Puccini's death.
Tan canchero Plácido Domingo interpretando una frase de Turandot, si la realidad es que nunca pudo dominar esa ópera, se desgarraba la garganta cantándola...

I love this woman, she is pure class.Funny lady too.

"unsophisticated"? Dame Eva? (in her voice:)"I am terribly sorry but you are quite mistaken!"
Placido is just wonderful. I never heard of Dame Eva but I wish I had heard her sing.

Alejandro the way he sings and plays the piano in the same time is amazing !!!

Mil gracias por este video, me encanta
The First Turandot was Rosa Raisa in the La Scala production [1926].
Some consider Dame Eva the greatest "Turandot".
I believe the confusion comes from, I think Raisa and Turner both sang Tuandot in that first premier season but Raisa was first
adorable como dos artistas tan gigantes estan mas alla de celos y egos y se demuestran tanto cariño y respeto.....................
Two legends of opera. They don’t make them like this anymore!!!

guapo guapísimo Placido, te querré siempre
He is amazing. As a spaniard I feel really proud of this man despite the late nonsense heard around. You are a legend and always will. Bravo
True that. I was astounded that she wasnt the first but she did it best. Even Raisa would have been proud.
What a wonderful pair. Just a pity it wasn't Parkinson's programme. He would have done his homework. Many thanks for posting this "must see" clip.
When I first saw the thumbnail I thought Domingo was being interviewed by Dame Edna.
Fenomeno de la naturaleza
@vladik07 she used to say that Puccini had WANTED her to be the first Turandot, but Italian politics at La Scala won!

Bruno PICAUDE qu’est ce que tu veux dire par nonchalamment?
@@Sacha_Kudli Relax, cool...
Bruno PICAUDE explique ton opinion tout simplement
J’aimerais savoir par curiosité
Tkt je suis venu en paix 😅
