Thank you so much for sharing! It was one of the great honors of my life to interview Maestra Bumbry before she passed away. So nice to see this recording
I watched you and your colleague interview her here on TH-cam. It was a wonderful interview, and I was particularly happy to hear the Q&A about Milanov. All the best to you!
@@courtneybaritone0136 I had to ask and I’m grateful I did, as many people believed Bumbry was a longtime student of Milanov’s before that. thank you very much, I’m glad you appreciated the interview
This is a very difficult aria, and no one sings it perfectly from beginning to end. Having said that, this is quite a very, very good performance/rendition/interpretation of this Verdi favorite. Wonderful in many ways.
Definitely the right temperament vocally, phrasing is impeccable, with wonderful instances of fear and loss expressed beautifully. I saw her in the role at The Met 9 years earlier, the voice was even bigger and more in tune than this. She was one of the top five mezzos and had mixed successes in the soprano repertoire. But she’s definitely in the Pantheon, sitting next to Shirley, Tatiana, et alia!
She was sensational, but to my ear the top notes were never completely free and I prefer her performances as a mezzo. I can understand the desire to tackle the dramatic soprano roles though.
Grace was a true dramatic soprano with a phenomenal range and an unparalleled velvet in her gorgeous, thrilling voice. Her technique was superb.
Una cantante d'opera che sta alla pari con le le grandissime di tutti i tempi.
영상 감사합니다.
그레이스 선생님도 감사합니다.
She an Tina Turner were both in the Sumner high school in St. Louis at the same time!
A compelling and truthful Leonora. Verdi would be very proud. She loved Verdi and Verdi would have loved her.
A truly lovely voice. I adore how she took her time in everything she sang.
Какая великая певица !!!

A Soprano Queen with a sonorous voice and technique.

Abgesehen von imposanter Stimme und Musikalität, so ein perfekter Umgang mit dem Registerwechsel ist in diesem Fach sehr selten!!!!

Nessuna supererà mai la Tebaldi in questo ruolo ma.devo dire che lei è sicuramente migliore di altre
Leyla Gencer is the best!
@@correasilvio2010c'è n'è sono tante brave in Forza...no solo Tebaldi e Gencer...anche Price è eccellente Leonora

She's a two
eh? she was every inch a dramatic soprano. Don't know what boat you fell off.
An ordinary soprano. She ad NO PEERS as a Mezzo!
MILANOV foi melhor a melhor Leonora !!!!
