    Her voice spoke to me like no other soprano when I was in college in the early 1970s... I was in a world of Sutherland, Scotto (early), Nilsen, Schwarzkopf... all through recordings, of course. But Moffo spoke to my soul like no one else. To this day, her early healthy singing is unmatched, in my humble opinion. And don't get me wrong, I love a number of sopranos old and new!

    I adore Ms. Moffo. She was a small town Italian girl from Penn. who made great. She was a great actress in addition to being a great singer---I think this is what people respond to also----You can't fake the acting, though there are some great singers who really didn't care about the acting part of the job (we won't mention who)

      I heard about this piece a while ago, and right after that I sought to find the best version I could. I heard many, Netrebko's, Callas', etc., and while they were all good none really stood out.
      And then I came across Anna Moffo's version. I'd never heard of her, but I decided to give it a listen.
      It only took about ten seconds of hearing her sing for me to realize that her interpretation was something else. It also occurred to me that in the other interpretations none of the singers sounded like they were asleep, but Anna's definitely did.
      In all of the versions I listen to now, I'm curious to know how 3:44 - 3:53 is interpreted, and Anna's version here is probably my favorite.

  • @WQ673

    At first, Mdm. Moffo was not dramatic, she was lyric, so its not to compair with Callas, because both are very different actors, but her voice was better she was more nice, she made no scandals and did always her duty by singing, so she was in her time for me the real Primadonna assoluta of the both ! She had sung very mutch operas and also operettes. Very sad, she is gon too early.

    i think if she had great natural technique but like so many singers didn't know when to say no, or failed to keep working on her technique daily to keep it pure. her sound is gorgeous. perhaps she is the female distefano in being natural but losing her voice early for lack of study, i dont know but i love her and her sound, its too bad she had trouble. i have yet to hear a poor recording of her but it seems to be common knowledge that her voice suffered. perhaps the music she sang was too much.
