Haha, you think they have time with all the pressure by their labels?! There is no real opera singers anymore, no stars with charisma, everything is shouting, screaming and pretending.
Beautiful, clean, evocative performance! PPP Bb was more P, but, we can't expect everyone to be Caballe, or Scotto 😊 "Maledizione"'s --- Absofreakinglutely Excellent !!!
@@pinacatalano5774 I didn't forget - I don't agree. Love Tebaldi as Santuzza Anything above a Bb was a total crapshoot with Tebaldi -- tough to be a soprano without a reliable B or C 😎😎😎

It’s interesting because for me it doesn’t sound lean at all (just a very connected, healthy and unique voice)…But I also don’t listen to singers these days, and after your comment I’m really not going to start either 😅😅
@@AuroraRoz should you hear the thick, heavy, often wobbly, often under pitch sound of so many of today's singers, you would know what I mean. Nilsson was powerful and yet still sounds like youth, and its fire of enthusiasm.
@@Twisterjoe I guess that happens when people are taught such awful techniques, try to imitate other singers without the actual understanding of the instrument, and being pressured and pushed by music directors and directors to create sounds that are not natural to them (or just take inadequate roles). There are other factors, obviously. But I do agree with you about Nilsson. I wish we could hear today more of the quality of that age- Zinka Milanov, Rosa Ponselle, Eileen Farrell, Renata Tevaldi, Callas, Helen Traubel, Gundula Janowitz, Tetrazzini, Claudia Muzio, Elisabeth Grummer and many many others…
I feel like I’m one of these leaner voices and people accuse me of having minimal vibrato on recording but tell me my voice is resonating everywhere in a large space
@@Adam-Daniel2004 Are you trying to tell me you're fourteen years old? Why do you even bother to listen? Pace, pace, mio Dio means Peace, peace my God. Leonora has retired to a life of prayer.

@@WelshHomo87 Nilsson is better here than in a previous 1961 "live" Pace mio Dio where she is so stiff. Here in this video in color she is very fine, anyway she lacks a bel canto technique for italian opera
@@rugby8-Philadelphia You are rude, it’s a matter of taste. Everybody can’t sound and act like Callas could. Every voice should stay in their nisch. There they can be good interpreter of the music.

Her fearless voce di petto fills me with glee!
This is incredibly valuable! I wish young sopranos today will learn from this clipping !
Facts will do
Haha, you think they have time with all the pressure by their labels?! There is no real opera singers anymore, no stars with charisma, everything is shouting, screaming and pretending.
We’re trying!
Beautiful legato and high note like a laser beam. She was one dramatic sprano that actually had a beautiful voice as well as powerful!
Impecable breathing technique!
3:40 that's how you do a pianissimo / 4:53 and that's how you do a fortissimo
Faces in the crowd had me dying 😂
lmfao 😂
Say cheese!
😂Truth.
Sublime
😪 pace mio dio! 🕊🌿 🕯
Beautiful, clean, evocative performance!

Hai dimenticato la più grande in questo ruolo Renata Tebaldi❤

Love Tebaldi as Santuzza

Зачем ставить в пример Кабалье или Скотто- ни та ни другая не были драматическим сопрано. У Биргит огромный драматический голос .

A PPP in a dramatic voice is going to be anyone else’s p or even mp. I think that was pretty ppp for the size of her voice
❤❤❤
Só nas primeiras notas, ela destruiu carreiras.
The ending of this aria can be so big and dramatic, but I feel like she's not making it as big as she is capable of?
Not very well placed video link windows popping up over Birgit in the end :(
A lean sound like that would probably never be welcomed today by the gatekeepers of opera houses and conservatories.

Это был не лучший выбор для неё . Абсолютно лучшей она была в Турандот.
Sounds like something a Ferrari F1 team manager would say to its driver...
Is that your hobby to put that joke under every video of Pace, pace, mio dio you can find?
@@j.criquette3334 he's telling you the truth. first few seconds of the video, my damn poor ears

To much stoccato.
Do shut up. This is how it's supposed to be sung
