The greatest dramatic mezzo soprano of all time! What a gift she had. I was fortunate enough to hear her in person and she was just mind-blowing! It was all there in her voice, the top, middle and the bottom. It doesn't get any better than Obraztsova!
My God compare this to the modern version, not mentioning singers and I want to cry of disgust. Elena, what a portent, Jesus... it makes all of my hair stand. All of her is dramatic and emotion. In love!
Listen to that full robust squillo. Chest voice is amazing. Every note is engaging and exciting; I'm never bored or tired of the voice. This is what modern opera should sound like TIO would be proud.
The sad thing is that nobody nowadays can do what she did. That passion is remarkable, breath control and as you mentioned, the chest voice. No singing in the mask which is killing everything.
I always come back to see and hear this clip, this reminds me what heart and talent together can achieve. She always breaks my heart with her incredible rendition of this most difficult aria!
I can see that I posted something here 11 and 9 years ago, little did I know then that you would end your days in my city of Leipzig, just 1,5 kilometers away from my home, and I had no idea you were here, this hurts me deeply, to this day you were so close, and at the same time so far...Nobody has ever moved me as much and with such intensity as Elena Obraztsova, in this aria in particular, evyry time I hear sing it she brings tears to me eyes, what an amaizing artist and person she was.
Wow! Everything with Obraztsova was rich and generous: so much voice, thrill and dramatic intensity! She may not have been the subtlest artist, but she had an amazing inner fire and a wonderful commitment to everything she interpreted, and the voice was a powerful and stunning force of nature. She'll be missed. RIP.
Homoclassicus Very well put! My main problem is how she distorts the vowels quite a bit in her Russian way particularly in her cavernous bottom register - - and she really cannot convey tenderness or introspection - - she has no mezza voce or pianissimo. But you're quite right about fire and commitment. The most exciting opera characterization I ever saw was one of her first Met Amnerises. She was a tigress during the judgment scene.
@@liedersanger1 I know this comment is from five years ago, but have you ever heard her sing Mozart and Handel? She sort of scales down the size of her voice if you’re looking to hear her sing mezzo-forte… there’s a really great concert of her from 1972 (here’s the link if you care to listen: th-cam.com/video/skBZi1V9N_s/w-d-xo.html)! :D
Elena, Grandissima artista dalle capacità interpretative che si possono definire assolutamente notevoli.... dotata di una voce dal colore unico e fortemente capace di coinvolgere gli animi . La sua è una interpretazione grande di questa romanza .
One of the most exciting voices, if not the most beautiful. Heavy, and über-dramatic - sometimes her chest voice reminds me of Maria Callas in its ferocity.
@@correasilvio2010 Sorry,you can think anything but it's pointless if it's not true... She has an enormous range which can fool someone into thinking she is a soprano and because her high notes are clear and strong but no,she is a dramatic mezzo,and proud one! She said so in an interview as well I'm sure you can find it on youtube somewhere,I watched it a couple of months ago :)
I need two notes, then I hear the unconditional passion with which Obraztsova sings. The control she has over her vocal range, the uninhibited use of her chest voice, all of this is unique and serves only one thing: the music. This is pure passion, it doesn´t get any better.
Изумительная! Поразительная! ПЕВИЦА!!! Она не только потрясающая меццо-сопрано, способная брать самые низкие контральтовые ноты, но у нее столь же великолепный верхний регистр, ведь Сантуцца - сопрановая партия!!! Божественная! Изумительная!! Поразительная!!! ПРИМАДОННА!!!!!
БОГИНЯ! НИКТО И НИКОГДА НЕ ЗАМЕНИТ ВАС, БОЖЕСТВЕННАЯ , НЕПОВТОРИМАЯ, ВЕЛИКОЛЕПНАЯ ЕЛЕНА!!! ТАКИЕ ПЕВИЦЫ --ДАР БОЖИЙ нам, которым повезло жить в одно время с ними....ЧУДО! ДИВА! УНИКАЛЬНАЯ!!! ❤️🤲🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Unsurpassed performance great opera singer Elena Obraztsova Santuzza's aria from the opera "Cavalleria Rusticana" by the Italian composer Pietro Mascagni. Voice of extraordinary beauty. Delight.
Chemeraviglia!!!!!ascoltata alla scala ......qui forse libera da canoni registico o recitativi e ancora più impressionante ..dagli acuti mai alleggeriti ai centri potenti e ai bassi impressionanti .....travolgente!!!!!
Пока мы есть, мы будем слушать ее пение как лучшее среди лучших, как Лучано Павароти, как Марию Каллас. Она будет всегда с нами. Пусть ярко светит ее звезда нам из далекого космоса.
@@Yondal А давайте сравним? Вы сюда ссылку на Каллас, а я ниже - ссылку на Образцову, где она исполняет это произведение сильно лучше Каллас. И Вы увидите, что почти все арии она поет лучше Вашей перераздутой Каллас.
Господи...это гениально. Я уже не смогу это забыть😢

Qué privilegio!
You guys are blessed to have lived.
Dramátic soprano
A devastating vocal tsunami that devastates my heart.
Real women with Balls. Elena was the greatest mezzo ever. Everything today is high-school, in comparison.
My God compare this to the modern version, not mentioning singers and I want to cry of disgust.

Che bellezza... Riesce a esprimere tutto il dolore che prova Santuzza! E la sua bellissima voce... 💖💖💖
Лучшая Сантуцца в мире, до сих пор ни одна певица не превзошла её в этой роли. Браво!!!
Madre mía…qué fuerza interpretativa….electrizante!!!Io piango….
Незнаю сколько раз послушала,но каждый раз хочу ешё раз послушать и ешё.Пуст земля будет пухом Великая Певица,Дочь Земли!
I always come back to see and hear this clip, this reminds me what heart and talent together can achieve. She always breaks my heart with her incredible rendition of this most difficult aria!
Same!!
The measure of the most beautiful singing❤
One the VERY BEST VOICES EVER!!!! Brava, Diva!!!
Нет слов да и не надо! Просто слушайте Елену Образцову!
She has the most beautiful mezzo-voice ever!!! Love
Very very exciting. Her chest notes are extraordinary and entire register completely developed, unlike so many today.
She is the one ! Incredible how much work it requires... and I know what I am talking about. Thanks for your comment ! 👍
Stupenda e commovente, da brividi!!!! Grazie infinite!

@@aceofspades8634 Thanks!
RIP. My favorite Mezzo. What a great talent.
In my humble opinion, the greatest dramatic mezzo ever!
@@ceciliagonzalez3013 I guess you´re right.
I like how the last note sounds as if sung by a tenor :)
Ничего уже не вернуть... 🎉🎉
Wow! I've never heard of this Diva until now. Fantastic!
Elena Obraztsova È Santuzza!!! Superba strepitosa unica! !!!!!!❤
Such a powerful voice mixed with grace and passion. A great combination for excellence. Probably the best mezzo ever. At least in my book.
Simply a hurricane that blows it all up on its way. MG ! I'm shaking with body chills !
How I would have liked to hear her live !
This is Opera I love this lady's voice a true dramatic mezzo-soprano and she rocks 🇫🇷💙 Arnold Bourbon Amaral
This performance is beautiful! What a voice! She has tremendous energy, tremendous power.
Super Obratzsova! I had the pleasure to hear her many tines in Liceu or Peralada Fest, a great artist fiorever
Simply STUNNING..and what a beautiful top she has..I never realised quite how beautiful before now. Thank you for posting this fascinating concert
Quite possibly the best version of this aria ever. So exquisitely sung.
Elena, Grandissima artista dalle capacità interpretative che si possono definire assolutamente notevoli.... dotata di una voce dal colore unico e fortemente capace di coinvolgere gli animi . La sua è una interpretazione grande di questa romanza .
Condivido in pieno vive la parte forse come nessuna
OMG!!! What else can you say? Amazing? Perfection? They seem so inadequate to express the excitement and passion that Obraztsova brings to this music.
Обожаю !!! С кем сравнить ?! От ее голоса... мурашки..
Несравненная.
Екатерина Семенчук похожа на нее в голосовом плане.
Да, шикарное исполнение. Мне ещё нравится Фьоренца Косотто, запись 76 года в Токио. Рекомендую, до слез!
Воистину совершенное исполнение! Спасибо!
She is the poster of true verismo, how lucky we were to have you!!!
Divine singing!
Thank you.
One of the most exciting voices, if not the most beautiful. Heavy, and über-dramatic - sometimes her chest voice reminds me of Maria Callas in its ferocity.
Deeply moving and touching, fantastic performance. Thank you and Kievest for kindly sending.
She is just so wonderful that it's beyond words.
I agree.
Something come from heaven. A miracle
Magnificent from start to finish! A legendary singer of the highest order!
Елена, вы всегда заставляют меня плакать с этой арией!
She is amazing, isn't she? Ferocity, passion, control, wow.
Bravissimo, cara ! Perfetto sei ❤❤❤
Голос столетия!!! БРАВО!!!
Superbe,quelle belle voix de mezzo!! merci Madame!!
1:56 Madre mia! Cómo suspira…grande Obraztsova!!!Cuanto dolor! Extraordinaria!

Whoa, after listening to 4 sopranos in a row sing it, what a difference!! So juicy!! Brava!!!!
Elena is the best mezzo in the world!!!!!
Was, she very sadly passed away 4.5 years ago
Dramatic soprano
@@correasilvio2010 can any soprano sing this low? Get s grip man,she's a true dramatic mezzo
@@dmg7104 no, for me Obraztsova was a dramatic soprano.

После Образцовой уже не сопрановая :(
Сантуцца - переходная партия, её поют и сопрано, и меццо
Гениально! 🎵

1:43 “L’amai”…. She sings it with such intensity it’s unbelievable.
Gorgeous.
