    It's brutal. It's heavy-opera. It's how it's supposed to be. A solid, heavy, dark, fearless voice, flooding the room and making us simply forget and forgive minor technical issues. It's absolutely real and miraculous at the same time. BRAVA! ❤👏

      @@birdlover7776 basically regaring her pronunciation of some words and vowels. They sound rather foreign at times, not Italian. But nothing that interferes or diminishes the rendition so much. As I said, she had so many other qualities that it doesn't matter if her "accent" was not perfect.

    They aren’t making opera singers like this anymore, vocal abandon, true expression, with a raw sound. This is what the opera composers sought out to hear, not timid singing.

    Easily the greatest mezzo of the last 40+ years, and one of the best voices period. The uniqueness of her timbre, the massive wall of sound that she could produce, the energy that she exuded in her performances... Truly captivating.

      @@CandyLinton Well, let's take an honest look. Did Baker take on heavy Verdi roles? Nope. Did Baker appear in title roles at La Scala, Metropolitan Opera, Grande Opera on a regular basis? Nope. Only Covent Garden, but she is English right? Baker's repertoire included Mozart, Handel and that's it - typical lyric mezzo. She had a wonderful polished voice, but great - that's an overstretch. If you ARE great, top opera houses run after you. That was not the case with Baker.

    Obraztsova's voice is not only a voice for the ears, it's a voice to feel with your body, your sternum. You can feel the vibrations going through your sternum. How can one resist to its wildness and violence ? This sure is one of the most erotic emissions I've ever heard in opera.
