The work that diaphragm is doing is amazing! What technique: Perfectly still shoulders... no throwing the arms up... no facial contortions trying to place notes... no throwing the head back. The diaphragm is working and everything else is relaxed. A masterclass technique lesson right there!
Bravo une artiste qui a compris que le chant n'était pas que la puissance ou le beuglement mais l'émotivité, le contrôle et le service du texte, j'adore que dis je, ce mot est galvaudé il faut inventer un nouveau terme. Souvent imitée jamais égalée. Merci Madame Caballé
I adore all the singers I post in my channel, it is just that Callas is my No1... but I adore them all: Elisabeth, Montsy, Christa, dame Joan, Oralia, Astrid, Birgit, Beverly, Lucia, Arleen, June, Marina, Renee, Lisette...
Ascoltandola mi invade la gioia di averla potuta applaudire in almeno dieci opere!!!Pettegolezzo; Maria Stuarda... recentemente ascoltata a Vienna....e mi vien da piangere......Donizetti sia diventato materia così vilipesa da sembrare una commedia musicale...teatro stracolmo...e applausi...tirati da una Claque che nemmeno ai tempi della Strepponi....Gesù mio, misericordia...il tetro lirico...è voce ...voce , voce...non cinema.
@2:01 begins the chills...well...and throughout.....simply ethereal angelic like no other voice on earth.....her passion dedication and commitment to perfectly execute perfection honoring the character and composer and blesses every soul listening ....her performance is always a heavenly gift bearing her very soul to her audience and the beauty of experiencing this intimate very personal sacred event is difficult to believe she is communicating to such a grand scale...every performance feels so private...one loses the sense of time location the moment she begins to sing she captures your heart and soul and sweeps you willingly on a breathtaking journey Cabelle is unmatched and always will be held in our hearts and for generations yet to be as operas finest representative a liaison between heaven and earth....simply stunning and every performance commands the highest standards which she expected of herself and those she loved working with all to honor the intent and message of each composer and every lyric...she was passionate and demanded the very best from everyone equally herself feeling a responsibility and duty to respect opera....she was very dedicated and humble...some call her a diva a demanding diva but the demands were not self serving on the contrary her demands were that every single player in the performance bring their best to honor opera and each composer..this was her primary concern and she always remained humble and her expectations from herself harsh criticism and countless hours of practice resulted in performances that touched the very soul of everyone in attendance leaving all a with a life changing experience that felt like a bit of heaven was revealed.
The only Elisabetta I can really listen to. Sill's completely trumps her in the act 1 coloratura obviously, but Caballe was the only one with the middle voice and musicianship to do this role justice, without the full scope of range needed. I never understood why they never tried to make her look even a little bit like Elizabeth I though lol.
The only reason Sills attempted this role is because it is an Assoluta role that Callas had not sung... and I dont think Callas didnt sing Elisabetta because as someone had said she took one look at the score and said: Hell no!... but because this role completely lacks melody.. This cabaletta above (Amore ti guida) is the only inspired melodic moment of the entire opera and even Caballe's dreamy voice can not make the Entrance aria sound as a classic Donizetti super aria - even Stuarda's arias are better than this
Actually, even though vocally speaking Sills should never have done this role, dramatically I felt she handled herself very much like royalty. Just my own opinion.
For me the best Elisabetta is Leyla Gencer... Caballe is really amazing like in everything she does, but her overuse of pianissimos is really tiring and besides the fact that she doesn't look at all like Queen Elizabeth, I mean they could at least put her a wig 😂, doesn't work for me... Her Maria Estuarda is full of pianissimos everywhere too
I can't listen to Gencer in Bel Canto or in general because of her constant glottal stops that completely ruin her vocal line. Also her intonation was always too variable for me to take seriously.
I'm so surprised you like this.. The voice just disappears in lower middle, and don't even get me started on the lack of chest. The pianissimo is beautiful, but where's the musical/dramatic logic?
this is indeed on the borderline of my liking... I find Roberto Devereux one of Donizetti's worst operas... either no lady managed to sing it well or it is one of Donizetti's idiotic operas where because of lack of inspiration he made it an Assoluta role that tortures the singer (on the prototype of some Baroque composers who were writing most difficult passages without the least melody or musical value)... thus, I dont really require much drama or... or... Given the fact that Donizetti's reputation as a composer was literally DESTROYED by soprano coloraturas who transformed his operas into a circus of idiotic acrobatisms, I hold some reservation whether Devereux has just not be sung well by anybody (and sounds so less)... as for Caballe's middle, she possesed one of the most impressive and gorgeous middle voices in history... the fact that we dont care about her lack of C6, D6, E6 is the unbelievable quality of her middle voice

She looks so beautiful in this roll, not to mention her incredible in all ways voice! I think her acting as also great. She owns this role!
So beautiful! I just wonder how is it that some people gave this masterpiece thumbs down?
it is because although this is Divine, Montsy never had Elisabetta's Voice (actually none of the singers who have sung Elisabetta up to now had it)
There will never be another duet like this, ecstasy to my soul

Just unbelievable, amazing singing. RIP, dear one.
La Reina de los Pianissimos!! Brava!!!!
R.I.P. and thanks for your amazing vocal legacy!
Gott sei Dank durfte ich diese Stimme hören solange ich noch auf Erden bin! Heute bringt Sie den Engeln das Singen bei ❤️
Une voix de bronze, un contrôle absolu, une ligne de chant irréprochable : La Superba dans sa plus glorieuse période, une classe à part.
Era considerdada de bronce? No sé muy bien sobre esas calificaciones
Sublime Montserrat Caballé !
Montserrat for ever !
I wish I knew of a soprano today who I adore much as both Caballe and Callas. Both were supreme Soprano Assoluta’s!
I adore all the singers I post in my channel, it is just that Callas is my No1... but I adore them all: Elisabeth, Montsy, Christa, dame Joan, Oralia, Astrid, Birgit, Beverly, Lucia, Arleen, June, Marina, Renee, Lisette...
Rest in peace. My dear diva from heaven above.

Mi incanta ,la sua voce ti rapisce con la sua forza ed eleganza,come poche la possedevano ,quali la Tetrazzini e la Galli Curci .
Божественная певица!!!...
Rest in Peace la Divina. 06.10.2018
Semplicemente DIVINA
[unica ensus expresivos pianissimos! R.I:P.
Simplemente maravillosa..¡¡
Superba
One of my fav rendition of Roberto Devereux... Is that the one of 1977? (Vagabond from the prehistorical times of the Lifanovsky's forum)
espléndida
Gràcies !

She looks Imperial nevertheless
Probably because she was much more beautiful than Elizabeth!
Sills sang the role beautifully and acted the heck out of it. Her acting made the performance great. Caballe sings it beautifully.
Splendida , dar prea manierista !
Thank u so much for the video. Can u tell me which opera and which aria she was singing, please? :)
Donizetti. Roberto Devereux. Act 1: L’amor suo mi fe’ beata
Yes, beautiful pianissimo in this aria. I don't recognize it. Which opera is it from? Thanks!
The opera is Doniztti's Roberto Devereux
Hi, someone knows what year is this?

I feel like the only singer who really knew how to act as a royal was Callas (Anna Bolena and Don Carlos especially).
Actually, even though vocally speaking Sills should never have done this role, dramatically I felt she handled herself very much like royalty. Just my own opinion.

Sometimes I find her pianissimi tiring too but most of the times they are like a Balm for the Soul
Lohengrin O that's quite true... Have you heard Leyla Gencers pianissimos?
I can't listen to Gencer in Bel Canto or in general because of her constant glottal stops that completely ruin her vocal line. Also her intonation was always too variable for me to take seriously.
