- The Grande Montserrat Caballe singing “ Pace pace mio Dio” from Verdi’s La Forza Del Destino Live in TV Broadcast from New York in 1981 with James Levine conducting!
- Hudba
Callas at home with Montsie: “No my dear, you needn’t sing Lady Macbeth. Your voice is too exquisite-like Baccarat crystal.”
4:09 - 4:27... all in one breath (No one does that) ... 5:29... flawless :D
It is said quite often when a great artist leaves us that we will not see their like again. In this case, this is the absolute truth and we are the lesser for it. Addio, Prima Donna.
You are so right. We lost a beautiful diamond…but heaven got an angel. ❤ RIP, maestra. We miss you.
I just love this...Levine keeps the forward motion and it is phenomenal. The first "pace" is worth the price of admission...the messa di voce so rarely achieved...or even attempted these days. Ethereal Bflat...and thundering maledizione. When Caballe' was good, she was great...when she was great, she was unapproachable.
È un monumento del BEL CANTO. Irripetibile!
When she was good? She has always been great as singer, artist and musician. She could even be a rossinian rockandroller ! That's terrific! Listen to How can I go on with Freddy Mercury, many years later than this record 😊 czcams.com/video/akdAvg8SO1A/video.htmlsi=uAWjcTr0mSqaltJK czcams.com/video/akdAvg8SO1A/video.htmlsi=uAWjcTr0mSqaltJK
Her singing is not just incredibly beautiful and great in so many ways, but she is able to break our hearts, too. Everything she does serves the drama through music.
She was a GODDESS. That's it. Nothing else.
Yes - definitely. And the goddess has put a spell on me. And I don’t mind. I just miss her…❤
Dios!!!! Que voz!!! Única!!!! ❤❤❤

Я бы сказала " Какое пение!
Какая женственность !"
Голос Леонтины Прайс мощнее, звучит , как идеальный инструмент.
Но Монсеррат - богиня оперы.
На пълна съгласна с Вас!! 🌷
Fabulous old style grand singing. I think she had the most beautiful voice I ever heard in the theatre. - and she had some competition!
I agree a 100%. Monserrat Caballe had THE MOST BEAUTIFUL VOICE ever. No one could be compared to her. Divine beauty, inteligence and power.
Even with all those glottal attacks that disrupt the vocal line? No.
I wish I could have heard her live! How big was the voice?
@@user-nq3yl9uu2ohow big was the voice

That pianissimo made me put down my phone and reflect on its beauty
Voce stupenda,timbro bellissimo , potenza e: tecnica : forza e pathos,questa era la magnifica Caballé!! Superba Caballé!!
Hola Valeria, ¿cómo estás? Espero que la estés pasando muy bien con tu familia. Que Dios te bendiga a ti y a tu familia. Espero que todos estén a salvo
I remember this performance, and was wondering if anyone had recorded it. Her singing was sensational, and she looked regal and wonderful! I recall that Beverly Sills who was hosting the concert introduced her as….”And now we saved the best for the last…”. Thank you so much for sharing.
On the later side of her prime and still absolutely magnificent.
After Maria Callas she was the best of their time. Many times Monserrat went to see Maria for advice in different roles, and that shows how dedicated she was to her art and how humble she was.A grat diva inded.

El timbre y el fiato era más bello
Wow! She looked very comfortable and in control of her instrument. Very clean tone and beautiful voice. I loved it
It is so gratifying to see how Levine follows her so perfectly. He gives the aria over to her completely. Would that all conductors could do this.
He was ALWAYS a singers conductor - always flexible with his tempi and always there for the singers
Levine breathed along with his singers. He always brought out the best, especially with the greatest artists like Caballe.
Oh, I’ve never seen or heard this before! That radiant voice. That refined musicality. She’s so glorious singing this… I have goosebumps each time with her. 🥰👏🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟💯❤️
OMG THAT LAST NOTE WAS LIFE!!!
She was so beautiful. ❤️
She was really a singer apart! I miss hearing that glorious voice live, many of my most treasured memories are of seeing her in London in a number of different roles
Her interpretations of this aria are amazing 👏 😍
Judy, I’m enjoying every second of her
performance, and the bit at the end, was
Unbelievable, What a Singer!
🌷😉
Oh Thank you. O had not seen CABALLE for years in her NYC days. How healthy she came into this moment and lovely as ever! How she is missed in the great days of her crowning of DIVA.
Ok. I. Am. OBSESSED. This performance, from start to finish , is *incredible*. To top it off, she looks SO beautiful 😍! Bravo Montse 👏👏👏
I remember this!!!...and I remember being in LOVE with Maestra Caballe after this! Say what you want about Maestro Levine, but he understood each and every nuance of the music, and idiosyncrasy of the singer! I just don't know if we'll ever see this again in our lifetime.
No, we won’t see it again.
This was her encore that night. This was at Carnegie Hall. The night was phenomenal!
Absolutely magnificent! Congratulations! She will be forever in our hearts!
SUPERBA!!!
Expectacular. Es difícil escuchar algo remotamente parecido hoy en día.
This performance is from Gala of Stars 1981 with host Beverly Sills and conductor James Levine, "Gala of Stars 1981" first ever aired as part of the conclusion of PBS' Festival Nights '81 Pledge Campaign for PBS stations across the country, including my own station: KPBS in San Diego, Circa Sunday March 22nd, 1981!! Expect the Unexpected!! Public TV Celebrates!!
I remember the controversy around the production of this fundraiser for PBS. It was produced by WNET/13 in NY by an out-of-control producer, who went wildly overbudget on the production, so much so that the Gala wound up losing more money for WNET than it actually raised for the station. That said the results were clearly great as exemplified by this fabulous rendition by Montserrat Caballe.
This was a highlight of the evening. I love our Montserrat and now we have Hernandez to carry the torch 🔦
Absolutamente magistral.... Nadie canta así hoy día....
Nadie ha cantado así nunca.
the tickle, goosebumps and tears...lots of tears
Young lirico spinto sopranos take note, this is exactly how you sing this aria.
Was she spinto or full lyric?
She was definitely a Spinto with a great pianissimo!
@@maximillian6222, She once said about herself, and I quote, that she was _a lirico spinto with some coloratura._ She was a fine musician and a voice _connoisseuse,_ so I tend to believe her.
@@robert111k but she was "afraid " to sing Norma
@@maximillian6222, Norma is probably the most demanding role in the entire repertoire. It requires a strong chest, agility, lightness, ethereal _pianissimi,_ strong _fortissimi,_ and a deep sense of drama... It was written for a sfogato (Pasta) and was elevated to its pinnacle by another (Malibran). In the 20th century, there were only three "acceptable" Normas: Ponselle, Milanov, and Callas, all of them alive when Caballé was about to attempt the role. Caballé, being so knowledgeable about her craft, was understandably "afraid." In fact, they said (I believe she herself said) that she consulted Callas before taking on the role. Callas kind of blessed her, gifted her some earrings, or a necklace, or I don't know what, that she herself had worn in her last performance of Norma, and that settled everything. Caballé sang Norma in 1969 (if I remember right) for the first time in her career, and Callas declared it: the most vocally beautiful Norma ever.
If you revisit the Orange production, you'll see that it was not only the most beautiful but the best (in the recorded era, of course) Norma ever.
She looks so beautiful
She was❤
Как королева ❤
Красавица с ангелским голосом🎉
I cannot even…my heart, God I love and miss this woman ❤
GLORIOUS!She was absolutely amazing in everything she sang. I met her backstage after a sublime Verdi Requiem in Saratoga. She was so humble and self-effacing, a truly grand diva without the histrionics. RIP, Great Lady!
Une personnalité extrêmement attachante et humble. Une sublime musicienne
She is so regal. From the first note it is magic and exceptional.
She got a great Leonora with her bellissima mezza voce and tempranza !
Straordinaria Montserrat.
A 4 anni dalla sua scomparsa da questa vita la sua voce rimane, immortale
Абсолютная, гениальная Дива!!! Лучшая Леонора!!! Фантастическая школа дыхания, филигранная вокальная техника и небесный, оркестровый, волшебный голос!!!
This Special lady, put her 💖and Soul
into this performance,and delivered the
goods, once again! 🌹😉

Les triomphes de la CABALLE !!!
Merci.

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨ 🧚♀️
Maravillosa Caballe!! Con un control de su instrumento y un refinamiento técnico único.
Prima donna absoluta!
La Gran Caballé en estado de Gloria !
Grandisima Superba😍
I only saw her twice on the stage: as Adriana Lecouvreur, and in Brunnhilde’s final scene. She really was a goddess.
Just fantastic!
That last note was heaven! It was soaring brilliance and very well executed!!
Thanls for uploading ! More videos of this concert please ?
Έξοχο, όπως μονάχα μία τέτοια μεγάλη καλλιτέχις μπορούσε να το ερμηνεύσει.
Να είσαι καλά, φίλε μου.
Great voice!
Как царица .
Певица номер 1💕
I've never seen this. Thank you for sharing!
Её вселенская Любовь к музыке и нам песпредельна! Она поцелована Богом!
Голос небес. Эталон. Мечта. Душа. Нет слов выразить восхищение и поклонение. Счастливы те, кто слышал пение великой Кабалье
6:17 ;)
The first time I saw Caballe’s life performance was 1970 Norma and since then I’ve seen all her performances at Gran Teatre del Liceu in Barcelona, where she performed every year for almost 4 decades! Thank you dear Montserrat for all the joy you brought to so many persons!!
@@neusbarrera6401 you were so fortunate to have seen this great lady , especially as Norma and in this spectacular piece!
God Bless you!
Just brilliance
Divina Montserrat !!!
Carnegie Hall. I remember.
A generosidade dela para com o maestro... IRRETOCÁVELMENTE a melhor de todas! Daqui uns 100 anos quem sabe vemos outra.
DIVINA DIVA! Pace, Pace!
12:40 p.m. callas told her that her voice was like Baccarat crystal. Crafted by Michelangelo!😮❤
Che meraviglia che meraviglia ❤
Maravillosa
4:45 CELESTIAL, INSUPERABLE, DIOSA ABSOLUTA!!!!
I am Irish; we are not a powerful nation conventionally or financially - but we really do know our Arts - and have created some of the best; we punch well above our weight in this regards. This lady is firmly in the gods. She's a master.
She omits the final “N” in the maledizioni! Who cares? With a stunning voice and brilliant technique it’s no big deal comparatively!
Maravillosa composición!!
Fantastica!!!
Amazing!
SUPERLATIVA
❤❤
Восхитительно!
stupenda
Maravillosa grande❤
Superba
la amo
preciosa
SUPERBA MONTSERRAT
The only rival of Leontyne Price in this aria.
LA MILLOR !!
❤️❤️❤️
Belíssima interpretação. Mas, não nos esqueçamos da grande Zinka Milanov!
❤❤❤😊😊😊🎉🎉🎉
❤️
Algunos dirán que la voz de Tebaldi era mejor, más spinto, más adecuada, blablabla, pero los milagros de algunos detalles Caballé no los olía ni de lejos. ¿Que tenía más volumen y la bajada al grave era más natural? Pues sí, pero en todo lo demás, incluida belleza tímbrica, prefiero a Montse.
wow
OMG!!!
After 5:30 the tempo jumps a bit too fast forcing and rushing the singer - he does it every time with this aria LOL. Fortunately Montsy keeps the ballance.
Jesus Christ ❤
No se xq pero yo pienso que la caballé era mejor que la callas
ERA, FUE, ES Y SERÁ ♥ NO LA CONOCÍA PERO ♥ DESCUBRIRLA FUE CONOCER LA GLORIA DE CANTAR.
UN ÁNGEL.
UNA REINA.
UNA SUPERBA DIVA.
PIANISSIMOS QUE LA CALLAS
NO TENÍA.
2 Vozes completamente diferentes,para mi Callas fue la mejor interprete dramatica de siempre,Montserrat la mejor en voce ,beleza vocal y tecnica.
Callas era buena actriz, Caballe simplemente gloriosa
El timbre de voz de Montse para mi gusto era mas agradable que el de Callas. Callas chillaba.
@@rafaellmata6083 I agree. Para mi gusto tambien.
Für mich bleibt Tebaldi in dieser Arie das "Mass aller Dinge"! Aber gut, 1981 Tebaldi in Rente und Callas bereits verstorben, war Caballe zurecht die "Primadonna assoluta in dieser Zeit!
I agree that Renata was magnificent in the role BUT. The post is about Caballe and here she did an absolutely excellent job, it is sheer joy listening to her rendition of the aria. Plus Tebaldi's last Leonora was in 1960, I can't remember if she sang the aria during a concert after that, she may have done but the voice was no longer just plush and velvet, she had that dramatic edge (which, from an almost technical point of view, not everyone enjoys). Is Tebaldi my no.1 soprano? - always. Was Caballe magnificent and most enjoyable? - absolutely and without any doubt. I'm just so so happy that we live post these two great ladies and can enjoy their art and voices ❤️
Great, but not Price.
Price Coukd not touch Caballe!! In her prime!!
God she was good
Voce sublime!
