AVE MARIA (Bach/Gounod) -- Anna Moffo: Dazzling!
Vložit
- čas přidán 23. 12. 2007
- This exquisite rendition of the technically challenging Gounod "Ave Maria" is simply the best. Anna Moffo, justly known as 'La Splendissima,' was never better! It took years of searching to find this recording. Having heard scores of other versions (while searching for this one), I can state that this is simply the best.
Exquisite low notes,perfect high notes! Anna Moffo was a great talent
You must have exquisite taste, Anna Moffo one of the finest sopranos of all time does Ave Maria, thank you so verymuch.
Robert Howes I agree...........................................................
Thank you for those kind words, AM was an operatic gem, at times underappreciated.
So much for self-congratulation Robert & Billy ... not done where I grew up. At least not so obvious. ;)
Thank you for your lovely words she was always the best , liked her very much also my mother was a great fan of her , thank you good night .!!
Amazing! Brava.
Superb! Anna is so lyrical and gives this song the gravitas it needs. I have practiced this song myself and cannot tolerate anyone singing this badly or flippantly or prettily without the pathos it needs. Anna does this. Her voice curls around notes like a tendril of a vine. What a lovely voice and such mastery of high notes. Thank you for this treat!
It is heart-warming for me to read the lovely comments regarding the GREAT ANNA MOFFO! It's been many, many years since I was fortunate to see and hear her in person!!! She was/is AMAZING in every respect! A great musician was SHE! Oh how wonderful was ANNA MOFFO!
Awesome control!!!!! Such a rich and beautiful voice....I love her vibrato. Just amazing!!!
Dont like the vibrato
Utterly magnificent. Cannot listen without tears in my eyes.
Che meraviglia sentir cantare Anna
Ero a Torino per motivi di lavoro nel 1971,ed al Teatro Regio vidi la Madama Butterfly con lei.Esperienza indimenticabile.
What an amazing voice but her technique is out of this world - that first phrase is done in one breath intake - incredible. I wish she had sung some of my favorite operas.
I am a big Amira Willighagen fan...AND a big Anna Moffo fan...this version is a sublime rendering, absolutely exquisite.
My Mother heard her sing live and was the best Soprano she ever heard. Her voice was pure crystal, faultless and she acted her socks off during it all, a consummate professional. Her upper registrar was exquisite and appeared so effortless and natural, never forced. They should play her more often on the radio and television to show perfection and teach young singers her technique
If the angels sing, it must be like her! What a splendid voice!
An achingly beautiful piece to get lost in. I think I have just found what I want to be played at my funeral,
She is amazing. Favourite singer ever. Thank you for posting x
Совершенно восхитительная Анна Моффо! Неподражаемая!
The most beautifull so far! Thank you for sharing!
listened to several versions here on CZcams, this one remains head and shoulders the most magnificent and truly transcendent. gave me all sorts of reasons to consider renouncing agnosticism.
Lovely. I will never stop loving my hometown diva.
they have mined a lot of talent out of PA.
I can't find words of praise high enough because there are none. I was blown to ashes . . . nope. Not good enough. Thank you Anna Moffo.
Fabulous rendition..........thanks for posting
Why this is my favorite rendition of this song.... at 2:45..NO ONE does it like Anna!
P.S. Anybody know what Cathie is babbling on about? Maybe someone can suggest to her a good doctor for the removal of that hair up her ass?
+I haven't the foggiest notion. Let me see if I can scratch her comment
A friend of mine once had his hair migrate from his head to his ass, and he never sang better!
This is from a GOODYEAR xmas record circa 1970. I was the arranger-conductor. TZS
Mr. Shepard - it's a pleasure to see you here! I was a student of Joseph Machlis at Juilliard and I later worked for him and arranged his musical parties back in the mid-1980s. I always knew your name as a very high-level classical music record producer, but I did not know you also served as a conductor and arranger. I have always admired Anna Moffo's recordings, so it's a real pleasure to know that you produced this one!
VERY interesting, TZS, and congratulations for your involvement in this exquisite rendition. The LP in my possession was NOT the 1970 disk you mention but rather a True Value Hardware collection of Xmas tunes -- unbelievable that such a classy recording was to be found on so commonplace a venue. I recalled the purchase as being late '60's but, that being almost 50 years ago I'm happy to admit to a couple of years of timeline error.The real question here is: Can you explain why this recording was not listed among AM's oficial discography? This recording seems to have been totally unknown before In pposted it on CZcams some years ago. Thx. for any insight you can offer and again congratulations for this superb recording. - Bill
This made me cry.
Wowwww! She can bring Bach and Gounod back to life.
Celeste Anna! A simply stunning rendition.
Her beautiful rich voice is magnificent. I love her!
The best interpretation of this Ave Maria Bach/Gounod
I think her singing IS filled with passion and pathos, but a sublime one!
Beautiful!
Brava!
Absolutely beautiful.
Wow what a VOICE sounds and emotion very beautiful version
Una voce davvero meravigliosa! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
O my god , this is so beautiful ...
Two more, equally exquisite Moffo renditions: the Rachmaninoff "Vocalise" and "Ach, ich fühl’s” from Mozart’s Die Zauberflöte.
Yes! Her "Chi il bel sogno di Doretta" is fantastic, too. I adore Anna 💞
Amazing. Awesome. My many feeble attempts in the alto range don't hold a candle to her.
a stunning, well-rounded sound - fearless and beautiful.
Que voz! Belíssima como um anjo. Tão sublime. Brava!
Uma das melhores interpretações que eu ouvi até hoje. O melhor fôlego, sem dúvida nenhuma!! obrigado a quem postou.
I recpgnize Ms. Moffo as one of the worlds greatest singers, and this is my faviorite Ave Maria
Absolutely perfect
Beautiful. There are lovely versions by Tebaldi and de Los Angeles here on CZcams as well.
Che meraviglia Bravissima Musicale molto bello Anna Moffo Signora il vicino Signore Riposo Felice! !🙏🙏🙏
удивительная, милая, восхитительная, неповторимая Анна Мофо!!
:)
I think people might have a picture what a soprano should look like--and Ms. Moffo was this look--
The perfect voice and way to sing this wonderfull aria
Une ligne de chant incroyable, tellement émouvant! Merci infiniment.
this is the way it was meant to sound
Beautiful voice, beautiful woman! She sets the standard for all sopranos that have come since.
It´s such a powerfull voice!
Incredible. I can see the score's dynamic signatures in my mind's eye that I never respected when I learnt/performed this piece myself, and I have found few singers to do.
I thought so as well. I don't think any famed singers will (wisely+intentionally) choose to end their careers in the most ridiculous way which is by plain sabotaging their own voices. Look at Callas, anyone dares to say her techniques were "wrong"; and neither were Moffo's. Salut to the two great sopranos ever and what an ethereal interpretation of Ave Maria to listen to in the morning !
Very lovely voice !!!
to see this so masterfully done at such a low part of her range is awesome! it was breathtaking.
trolls complaining about sliding should stay in school a little longer.
Grandissima Anna Moffo!!!!!!!Voce meravigliosa!!!!
Wonderful singing. ....nice voice
Gee, I thought I heard every rendition of Ave Maria by Bach, this is the best.
Breath-taking! and just beautiful! Thx for sharing this vocal treasure w/ us.
Moffo era perfecta!!! Sensual, bella, elegante, daba lo mismo verla en la Traviata o en Rigoletto o en Lucía Di Lammermoor, en todo era perfecta, bellísima!!!
Thank you. I had not heard Ms. Moffo's rendition of this beautiful composition.. I agree with others who have praised vocal talent. Thank you again for sharing your 'find' from the 1960s. :-)
Very beautiful!!!
Beautiful! ! ! ! ! !
At her best, and that period didn't last long enough, she was absolutely stunning.
Purely perfect in every way. Thanks for putting it out there
Stunning interpretation... Stunning😍
Brava Anna!
Anna Moffo is wonderful, perfect.
WOW! I can't believe that I've never heard this recording. Thank you for posting it. I have added it to my AVE MARIA playlist!
I am in love with her voice. This is fabulous. Thank you for posting it!
Just Fantastic--------Listen With Your Heart.
That was really cool I could even hear the record player motor at the end, I Love it !
SUBLIME VERSION !
BRAVO MME MOFFO !
I love her voice! An Angel’s voice!
I prefer this Ave Maria to Schubert's, and this is the best rendition of the Bach/Gounod I have heard yet.
wow... of all the renditions... this is up there...
I don't notice it--I admit I'm not a vocal expert. Her vocal gifts more than make up for those imperfections. She's the best---
i'll always remember anna moffo
Very brilliant by one of the best.
DEFINITIVAMENTE ES UNA BELLISIMA INTERPRETACIÓN!!!
always been my favourite soprano
She had a sweet personality few if any beats her Susanna or her Rosina. She had apart from her gorgeous voice and pretty looks, a sort of charm and joie de vivre that is absolutely irresistible. This is so wonderfully sung.
Your mother was fortunate to grow up and know such a talent.
ANGEL SINGING, PERFECT !!
Magnificent! Thank you for posting. Blessings.
c'est une pure merveille et quelle beauté !
You are right!
In effect, this is the curiosity I would notice.
yes, maria callas has recorded it, i found it, and i am sure it`s her voice, you can not forget her voice and change it for another one. It`s extraordinary , it`s millenium voice and soo beautiful and emotional!
Sublime!
Simply beautiful!
I agree that this is the best rendition of this piece. I would like to have heard Callas sing it, but the only "Callas" version on CZcams is a fake, and Google comes up with zip, indicating that she never recorded it. Anyone know anything to the contrary?
Anna Moffo is one of my favorites. She, Birgit Nilsson, Denyce Graves, and Renae Fleming have voices which speak to my soul. I particularly like Ms. Fleming's voice when she "flirts" with jazz sounds as in River Songs. Check her out on CZcams. In addition to studying in America, Ms. Moffo studied in Italy, and I believe that this influence can be heard in the line of her singing voice. Her voice and interpretation are sensuous and romantic. Moffo is a man's soprano!
Amazing Voice ! Bellissima
Браво!Потрясающе!Бесподобноڰۣ✿
00:56 oh man this is so in tune, omfg!
