Gwyneth Jones and Leonie Rysanek as Desdemona (Verdi Otello)

Two of my favorite divas side by side as Desdemona from Verdi's OTELLO.

Omg Rysanek is chilling and so verismo!

In her early days, Jones could sing Verdi as beautifully as Tebaldi or Price or Caballe. I never did understand Rysanek’s appeal; the hollow middle voice and the constant search for the correct pitch. Some people love her though.
