Aprile Millo sings like no one today: great interpreter, unique artistry and most gorgeous and expressive voice that has arrived as big star shinning in the world of Opera in the last 25 years!!!
This may not be perfect in terms of the specific opera and it’s school, but in terms of singing and the aria it is beyond perfect. With only a piano? Magical in every way. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
what can one say but absolutely stunning? aprile millo canNOT be surpassed...especially with the "musica proibita". she can make a grown man bawl like a baby:-).
cantorandopera I will start by wishing you a happy 2019. But you should also make a resolution to reflect on and then seek to reconcile your own hypocrisy. On the one hand, you have volunteered to become a token member of the vicious Parterre Box community. It is no honor. On the other, you whimper about "where did all the great sopranos go?" and then you go on and on and on about the so called merits of Amber Wagner or Angela Meade or Tamara Wilson or practically anyone the Met chooses to hire nowadays. And the fact is that none of them, singly or combined, could shine the shoes of sopranos such as, for example, Aprile Millo or Cheryl Studer or Carol Vaness or others of their era. Worse even, none of the former will reach footnote status when the story of our operatic times gets written, should it ever be. You may want to send the memo to your dear Netrebko Troll (JJ) or to Peter G Davis, to name but two who attempted to discredit the work of so many singers from that era. Shameful, really.
Always so original. Like I have never heard this aria ever til now, meanwhile I have heard it a gazillion times. But never by Aprile who makes it a truly unique and gorgeous experience.
nadie canta esto como aprile millo ..al piano o con orquesta..su voz es de una diva impresionante...igual que otra version de esta misma aria de pilar lorengar...todo un par de mitos vocales....una preciosidad de aria en estas dos voces..no os dejeis llevar por el video de youtube...aprile millo es una cantante de las que yo denomino....bellisima...voz...fuerza...claridad...seguridad....soberbia ..y divismo sincero..una mujer fantastica........talves la ultima de las grandes sopranos veristas.
How could I overlook this video of one of my all time favorite singers ? :( And obviously this fiery and torrential rendition is not likely to make me change my mind ! :)
Che bella voce, naturalmente "tebaldiana" per dichiarata adesione spontanea, per affinità di armonici... Peraltro, il testo della romanza da salotto di Gastaldon trova con lei legittima significanza muliebre. Peccato solo per l'ascolto alquanto disturbato e, mi ripeto!- per il look adottato dalla bravissima Aprile che la manteneva a debita distanza dallo charme innato del suo grande modello,
Wish I'd know "Song to the Moon"'s language to appreciate more wholly one of my top fave songs and her incredible rendering, maybe my favourite one vocally. Gosh!
Millo was one of the best sopranos, I agree! But this aria she sings to heavy, like verismo arias,not enough Chzech romantic as well in her singing. Please - listen to same aria performed by Teresa Zylis-Gara.
Albert Boussonville I agree. Generally, monochrome at forte (with a few lovely pianissimos). Over the top gestures at the end. Pianist too insistent. It should flow softly and quietly?

Everyone keeps asking..."Who sings like that today?" I have the answer.......NO ONE!!! She was the best!
Madame Aprile.. I have never heard of you before but now, I am breathless !,

Maravillosa. Interpretacion personalisima.

Mio ,Dio !!!che voce ,che interpretazione !!!!!!Aprile. Millo ,super ,super fantastica .......Mari
Che brava non la conoscevo. Grande soprano drammatico.
The LAST of the "great Divas" ...I soooo much agree...
Anima, voce, linea di canto , espressività, temperamento Praticamente Tutto
Восхитительно! Обожаю этот прекрасный голос, эту Восхитительную женщину. Желаю Эйприл здоровья, счастья и больших удач в жизни.
Самый лучший голос в мире. Как Франко Корелии у Мужчин !!! Так и Милло - среди сопрано у женщин. Жаль, что мало записано.
I would love to hear singing Charpentier's "Depuis le Jour." But listen to this. Pure heaven of tone and expression.
She is my singing teacher. She gives me demonstrations singing Depuis le jour, and I can tell you... It's absolutely beautiful
Who sings like that today? No one.
Fabelagtig
Millo is a POWERHOUSE of OPERA today ! gorgeous.
A happy pianist who doesn't have to ask "Am i too loud?"
What a voice and singing such a beautiful aria. I wish Ihad heard of her before now. So rich and expressive of tone. Brava Madame Millo.
Stunning~! Brava Ms. Millo~!~!

De acuerdo. Casi tan buena como Lorengar.
Incredible
Stunning.
Bravissima
Awesome singing! TY StuartLou for sharing
No one.... NO one.....NO ONE can touch her today! The last of the GREAT sopranos.
How could I overlook this video of one of my all time favorite singers ? :( And obviously this fiery and torrential rendition is not likely to make me change my mind ! :)
MIND BLOWN!!!
Only one word- incredible! Who sings like that today?
Everyone agrees how wonderful Aprile Millo is (here and everywhere else), but no one speaks of the pianist, who's fabulous! What is his name, please?
Люблю.
Magnífica

La belle et grande tradition italienne Au jour d'hui disparue
great singer......she and Bette M would make a great team.

Czech
WUNDERBAR !
OMG!!!
Ahhhhhsome!!!!! Tebaldish!!!!!!!!!!!!
Where have all the verismo Italian divas gone??? By comparison the ones after Aprile are dull, dull, DULL!
They're unemployed because they don't look like emaciated white models.
the greatest after Tebaldi
Do you have the entire recital?
Is that Eugene Kohn at the keyboard?
Stunning singing, absolutely. But...OMG, did she screw up the words :)
it's almost always either or
What year was this? She looks and sounds quite young here.
Please identify the pianist.
Probably Eugene Kohn.

please11 YOUR COMMENT IS TOO NIT PICKING
Watchinig again and noticing the efficiency of her singing. Very little, if any, unnecessary movement of any kind.
An extraordinary voice, but she is definitely not an actress and I'm not moved!
