I remember the telecast of Verdi's Requiem. It was on Saint Vitus in our biggest church in Prague. She sang the mezzo-soprano part. when she was supposed to be shot, the director chose to shoot in Prague. Nobody understood what was going on. Around her neck was a cross with rubies. Totally unacceptable for communists. But she was not a believer, she said it was a provocation. But I don't know for sure. Hard to judge... KGB agent for sure.. I don't like her, but I definitely do like her voice.
Who cares if she was a KGB agent or not, I am here for her voice. Who knows what she would say about the Russian invasion of Ukraine, but I like to think she would be against Putin's "special operation".
Her timber remains original and her great performances will never be forgotten.
Molto brava, che voce!
Fantastica
Brava!
Truly a magnificent and instantly recognisable instrument.
I remember seeing this production. Sutherland was lead role. Obrasova brought the house down
If only Sutherland and Pavarotti also recorded the studio recording with her as the Azucena.
Magnifique…
Una Diosa Obratzova!!
Amazing! Thank you!

Difficult to listen to a KGB agent in these times.
Hahahahahaha

We heard a ghost from the KGB

Apparently, I am wrong, a month before her death she signed a letter of approval of Putin's policy in Crimea. Oh, well...
