I don't like Caballe, but her Stuarda was nothing short of amazing. And she had better control over her breath than I will ever have over aby aspect of my life (old joke, and rather dry, but also quite occurate)
What did you not like ? In french we say : ce qui se conçoit bien s'énonce clairement. So you should be able to explain it otherwise it has no consistency.
Disregarding the geographic fact that “Catalan” is perfectly compatible with “Spanish”, the truth is that Caballé considered herself 100% Spanish, so it’s pretty fair to say “Spanish” queen ;)
This is one of my favorite videos on TH-cam. Absolutely stunning. Very few sopranos are capable of singing this amazing aria as it was written, with that long breath, but Caballe does it with such beautiful tone and amazing legato line. True bel canto. And notice how she includes the chorus during the applause. Unsurpassed.
Yes! Even as a child, I was completely enthralled with her. I didn’t even know why I thought young age. She not only sings the beautiful melody, she was the melody. That makes all the difference.
God give her heavenly joy, since she has brought so much beauty and joy to our lives. Such voices and such singing save lives, restore hope and rekindle confidence in human capabilities! How can we ever thank you, Montserrat?!❤🙏🏻
The sad thing is that Goverments of Catalonia ,after her death never did any tribute to commemorate her unic gift,because she wasn't independentist.Part of catalonians never forgot her ,because once she said that she was proud to be Spanish.... and then catalana!
Someone else below has commented on it, but what is especially astounding is that she was kneeling! If you don't know, much of our balance comes from our diaphragm, especially when we aren't planted firmly on our feet. Wonderful!
I have a hard enough time getting up and down on my knees. Not only having the diaphragm for singing that well in that position, but she gets up and down quite gracefully.
Contaba en una ocasión, Monserrat Caballe, qué cuando empezó a estudiar canto compañeras suyas dejaron de ir quejándose de que "aquello eran clases de gimnasia y no de canto". Entonces ,les enseñaban a trabajar mucho más que ahora todo el aparato respiratorio.
I am weeping God bless Monserrate and God blessed us to witness the closest thing to God Himself with the voice of this angel...I am eternally grateful to have experienced the rare pure beauty of this most gifted talented woman's vocal abilities...unparralelled, perfection!⚘⚘⚘⚘⚘⚘⚘😙
Lohengrin O Theo, It gives me great Joy every time I hear this. A friend was just sent me a u tube piece, pop singer sustain 32 second last yelled out note. So I sent him this. He was truly impressed. TY again Arnold Bourbon Amaral
Yes they do.But believe it or not, some do not seek careers. Singing opera professionally is overwhelming! Beautiful voices are plentiful but very few have the money and patience for the training, the travel, the sacrifices one must make. It can be a grueling life. And never forget about the constant flow of operatic egos one must work with! You really must devote your life to show case your gift. More than most are willing to do. MMB
I was listening by chance to DiDonato singing this scene the other day, and whilst her crescendo was gradually disrupted by a strange, rattling vibrato, Caballe ascends unfettered over the orchestration. Breath control of the gods.
Well Simionato was a dramatic voice so this was natural for her. But DiDonato, as soon as she started singing remotely heavier rep than her Mozart/Baroque she seems to have lost her voice. And when I say lost her voice, I'm not talking notes but the QUALITY of her voice. This is an important distinction. For example, Leontyne Price never lost her voice in terms of notes, but she lost the quality of her voice in the middle especially and everything became distorted and mushy tonally.
well DiDonato for some reason sends me completely off dont know why... I cant stand that thing she does that she thinks it is acting :D... (she pretends to be an actress) and did she really say recently that if u dont have trills like Joan Sutherland u better not trill at all? (if she said that and she is allowed to teach!! ...)
You had the chance (or opportunity) to get to know her in person, and she was a true diva -- not from this planet. What stunned (😳) you about her the most?
LELA YOU ARE SO BEAUTIFUL ADORABLE SEDUCTIVE RAVISHING SEXY CAPTIVATING AND PASSIONATE YOUR BEAUTY IS PHENOMENAL IF MOZART WERE ALIVE TODAY YOU WOULD BE HIS MUSE ❤
Beyond the pianissimo, she also deserves huge props for the Contre-Contre-Do (I don't know anglophones identify notes) at the end. That note is sung beautifully.
Caballé has the most control on that long note, and at quite a slow tempo. My favorite in this scene is still Beverly Sills, and after holding the G, she goes up to the written B-flat, takes a breath and then comes back in on it for six bars! But she and Sutherland take the scene a bit faster which makes it lose some of that regal quality that Caballé's has.
Cabille May have had her faults but she was never short of glorious most of the time. She bloomed with Freddy in the arenas not Operatic . What other great singer can say that?
Isley Claymore Exacatly People and singer/ students schould listen to this everyday instead of this modern crap!!!! Oh please it’s noice nothing to do with music!!!!
It's truly a wonderful performance, sustaining that pianissimo is hard, but for our queen it's nothing but a piece of cake,, brava 👏🏻👏🏻
What a pure voice, and what dignity!!
Kneeling no less. What a gift to our century.
2:50. Wow!
Yeah, she's wonderful!
While kneeling. Meaning part of her diaphragm is impinged. WTF. That’s an insane amount of power and control. 👏👏👏
Yep. A true monster --in the best possible sense of the word.
*_3:58_**_ This was pure divinity from Caballé. That melody was perfectly executed. My God..._*
Madam Caballe is a goddess.
Chills, just goose flesh, she was very much her nickname SUPERBA

I love Caballe in Donizetti's centrale roles. especially in her prime (until 1969) she could spin her voice so beautifully
What did you not like ? In french we say : ce qui se conçoit bien s'énonce clairement. So you should be able to explain it otherwise it has no consistency.
For anyone wondering where the sustained note comes in, it's at 2:50 (but really, why not listen to the entire piece - it's glorious).
Thank you. That was mighty difficult & simply impressive.
Angels gathered when Montserrat sang. A Spanish Queen in her own right.

E. Silva Indeed! Thankful for recordings and video!
What a voice! Eternal Caballe will always last forever. This is one of my favorite videos and prayer aria.
She always thought of the other people around her. She was an Angel on earth!
May she find peace now, what a wonderful gift she was to this world!! La Superba will forever live through her music! ♥
Amen! Beautifully put! Bravo!
La Superba , how fitting.
The crescendo in the end of the long note is surreal...
It is something admirable and unrepeatable
Cuando Dios creó en mundo, ya pensó en la voz de la Caballé. La belleza y la dulzura de esa voz difícilmente se repita.
She is the loveliest of them all. Always touching heart, not just the ears.
she is the Balm of the Soul... caresses the soul and heals it up.. a Gift from God she was
😥😥😥
Yes! Even as a child, I was completely enthralled with her. I didn’t even know why I thought young age. She not only sings the beautiful melody, she was the melody. That makes all the difference.
She is the best ever. She is touching our heart. Montserrat is the best soprano of the century. Love here so much!!

Pianissimi.

the greek communists were planning to murder Callas like they murdered Helen Papadakis...
Lol as if Caballé needed tributes from losers
Her breath control was fantastic. And such a lovely voice. There is no one like her today.
Good here to see mentioned the breath control.
Its nothing to have to be underestimated !
Those pianissimi always kept me breathless for almost as long as she was able to hold them. What a silky voice, and what a grande dame she was !
conte hoffman oiseau
I was privileged to hear her a couple of times in San Francisco.Callas was before my time, but I heard Caballe. Amazing memories!
I'm so happy for you, Ms. Daphne that you got to see the great Caballe'! Congratulations. What great memories you must have!
WOW JUST WOW!!! I'm no opera buff, but that was out of this world.
Someone else below has commented on it, but what is especially astounding is that she was kneeling! If you don't know, much of our balance comes from our diaphragm, especially when we aren't planted firmly on our feet. Wonderful!
I was just thinking the same thing. To have that much control while kneeling must have required a lot of focus.
That was the first thing I thought of .
I have a hard enough time getting up and down on my knees. Not only having the diaphragm for singing that well in that position, but she gets up and down quite gracefully.

DiDonato developed Simionato's vibratto/tremolo in top notes, strange isnt it?

You sure were lucky and smart! What wonderful memories you must have!
What is amazing is that she makes it all sound effortless. Fantastic singer.
Another favorite of mine is her rendition of Signore Ascolta. th-cam.com/video/OIIDnoxQr74/w-d-xo.html The audience reaction is frightening! 🙂
Beyond the pianissimo, she also deserves huge props for the Contre-Contre-Do (I don't know anglophones identify notes) at the end. That note is sung beautifully.
Solo un calificativo le hace justicia: Es Montserrat Caballé.
RIP Prima Donna
ce serait super le même extrait avec un son écoutable...merci

Caballé has the most control on that long note, and at quite a slow tempo. My favorite in this scene is still Beverly Sills, and after holding the G, she goes up to the written B-flat, takes a breath and then comes back in on it for six bars! But she and Sutherland take the scene a bit faster which makes it lose some of that regal quality that Caballé's has.
I totally agree..Beverly Sills was insanely good.
I think I pass out at six seconds. :)
Crowns cast down too to Donizetti. The power of those modulations of key is the bedrock of why this is so stunningly moving
The Superba!!!!!
I’m not a big opera fan, but that is some impressive singing!
La belleza y dulzura de su voz ninca será igualada, pero su técnica respiratoria difícilmente se superará. Gracias Monse...
Qué increíblemente hermosa era, por dentro y por fuera. Por eso cantaba así 😚
Troppo brava👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
