Besides the sheer size of her voice and her electrifying - albeit not exactly subtle - approach to singing, she possessed one of the most instantly recognizable timbres ever recorded. The Verdian mezzo roles fit her like a glove.
@@correasilvio2010 ...according to her biography she has sung mezzo and contralto roles. No Brunhildas or Turandots.... the fullness and power in her middle voice is the tell tale sign....
@@correasilvio2010.....I can see why you would say that but she's just a high dramatic mezzo. She's almost a soprano though.....dramatic sopranos are Flagstad, Farrell, Rysanek, Nielson, ponselle, and probably Dimitrova..... although she calls herself a spinto......
Когда слышишь такое - трудно поверить в то, что это поет человек. Она извлекает звуки не земного происхождения, она величайшая из всех, кого я когда-либо слышал в этой партии
No one sounds in this aria like her! The voice is so free and effortless in all the registers, so rich in timbre and emotion, nothing is too much and yet, just enough!
Ms Obraztsova was in excellent form during this concert!!! I had the privilege to see and hear her directly in Ostrava, Czech republic, in the eighties. It was also wonderful.
Elle est folle ! Mais quelle voix extraordinaire de vraie mezzo comme il n'en existent plus. Et quelle interprêtation électrique, c'est le moins que l'on puisse dire.
@@arnoldamaral3814 sorry, but while she does have some issues with the higher notes, they were still very thrilling and massive, especially in her prime
Contralto di razza, voce incontenibile, temperamento insuperabile. La miglior Eboli in assoluto. I soprani corti di oggi che fanno il downgrade per trovare un po' di spazio a teatro dovrebbero nascondersi.
So many times in the 70s and 80s can enjoy her on Russian television channels and live….She had the LOUDEST and most beautiful voice I ever heard "live" Her voice was TITANIC. But Eboli is such a difficult role. Baltsa, Bumbry, Verrett and Stignani also sang great Ebolis.
,terrific! the real thing Brilliant frontal attack. the voice resonating in the mask and what a passionate and dynamic performer. You truly get your money's worth!
VOCE STUPENDA!!!! VERY CLEAR VOCE DI PETTO. BEAUTIFUL AND RICH BLOOMING FALSETTO COORDINATION IN THE HEADVOICE WITH A RICH CALL OUT ON THE TOP NOTE. RICH VOICE!!!! VOCE BELLISSIMO!!!!.😍😍😍😍😍😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘❤❤❤❤❤❤❤👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌
Пару раз в неделю пересматриваю и у меня возникает вопрос - родится ли когда-нибудь певица, которая сможет ее перепеть? Мне кажется, что эту "иерихонскую трубу" превзойти невозможно ни по силе голоса, ни по силе темперамента, ни по силе драматизма. Она все делает не так, как другие и ей подражать невозможно. В этом и есть ее совершенство. Великая и непревзойденная! Ну и Великий Верди, что тут скажешь.
@@lesindorf-835videos да, она хороша, но не цепляет, темперамент не тот. Хотя, это дело вкуса. Для меня Образцова была и есть непревзойдённая. Есть более глубокие и густые тембры, с прекрасной техникой, но слушать скучно, нет страсти. И каждый раз лезешь в интернет и сравниваешь с эталоном, которым для меня является именно Образцова, рядом с которой стоят только Каллас и Кабалье, хотя они обе сопрано.
[Eboli] O don fatale, o don crudel che in suo furor mi fece il cielo! Tu che ci fai sì vane, altere, ti maledico, ti maledico, o mia beltà. [Эболи] О дар роковой, о дар жестокий, что мне вручили разгневанные небеса! Ты делаешь нас столь тщеславными и гордыми, тебя я проклинаю, проклинаю, о моя красота! Versar, versar sol posso il pianto, speme non ho, soffrir dovrò! Il mio delitto è orribil tanto che cancellar mai non potrò! Ti maledico, ti maledico, o mia beltà, ah, ti maledico, o mia beltà! Лишь проливать дано мне слёзы, надежды нет, должна страдать я буду! Моё злодейство столь ужасно, что искупить его я никогда не смогу! Тебя я проклинаю, проклинаю, моя красота! Ах, тебя я проклинаю, о моя красота! O mia Regina, io t'immolai al folle error di questo cor. Solo in un chiostro al mondo ormai dovrò celar il mio dolor! Ohimè! Ohimè! O mia Regina… О моя королева, я принесла тебя в жертву из-за безумной ошибки моего сердца. Впредь лишь в монастыре должна сокрыть от мира я своё горе! Увы! Увы! О моя королева… Oh ciel! E Carlo? A morte domani… Gran Dio! A morte andar vedrò! Ah! Un dì mi resta, la speme m'arride, sia benedetto il ciel! Lo salverò! О небеса! А Карлос? Завтра его казнь… Великий Боже! Увижу, как его ведут на казнь! Ах! День у меня остался, надежда мне мерцает, да будут небеса благословенны! Его спасу я!
The beginning was too quick - but who can deny she was phenomenal???? She's one of the only beyond the golden age that sings this dark and yet doesn't have a wobble and knows exactly how to work the lower end of the voice.
high notes here a bit problematic, but she was a phenomenal singer! We all have our best times of voice and it may not be forever. In our modern 'singing' times its still balsam for an artists ear and heart. May she rest peace and may her lessions never be forgotten!
@@correasilvio2010 I'm sorry for saying that, but at the end of the Aria she cant hold the high end note long enough- i sang this aria by my self, studdied well, so believe me, I know. It simply smallers the dramatic in the end, if you sing the important high note to short! She might lost a bit power there, i can see she was a bit in a hurry and tried to made best of it- but its also art if you can short the note clean instead of let collapsing the voice( like one time Aida, Renata Tebaldi)! I saw many collegues who simply can't help in moments of voice problems. So Elena acted well here, best she could have done. But Elena was a very good singer and so I also rate her according to her own high standards - I'm sure she would have thought the same about her performance afterwards, because she was self-critical enough and always took small things seriously, like every good singer in generally -even with her students in masterclasses she hear and saw small things that could be improved.
Once upon a time... Singers were amazing like Obraztsova.
Besides the sheer size of her voice and her electrifying - albeit not exactly subtle - approach to singing, she possessed one of the most instantly recognizable timbres ever recorded.
The Verdian mezzo roles fit her like a glove.
One of the greatest mezzos in history...listen to the eveness in power in all her registers! Amazing!

How utterly thrilling it must have been to see her sing that night. Brava Maestra Obraztsova!

Tornata a riascoltare questa magnificenza uscendo due giorni fa dalla Scala di Milano...

Спасибо вам, все верно..

Es la mejor mezosoprano que interpreta el aria : O don fatale, tenia una proyección de voz unica, descansa en paz; Elena Obraztsova.
Dramátic soprano
La voz extraordinaria, pero prefiero a Verret que la interpreta mejor.

Since you love Obratzova you might also love Cernei..
