I am hearbroken with the passing of one of the greatest singers and actreess of all time., contralto absoluta. But the memories of seeing her on stage, those I will carry with me for the rest of my days..
Just browsing in a cd store many years ago. I like Rossini and his magnificent mezzo-sopranos and contraltos. He really understood the depth of their power. I saw the cd :: _Ewa Podles. Rossini Arias for Mezzo-soprano._ [ NAXOS ] I never heard of her, but it was Rossini and a mezzo-soprano ... so I took a chance & purchased it. When I got home and heard her voice, I imagined the wonderful and powerful music Handel, Vivaldi and Rossini would have composed, even greater arias. I never really appreciated this aria she sings here ... I never heard her sing it until tonight (August 12, 2024). It is painfully sad and ironic ... _Remember Me !_ I finally get the message of this heartbreaking music. (She will never be forgotten.) There are millions of people in the future who are waiting to hear this eighth wonder ! 1. The Colosseum 2. The Petra 3. Chichen Itza 4. Christ The Redeemer 5. Machu Picchau 6. Taj Mahal 7. The Great Wall of China 8. Ewa Podles
Dear Jorge, Thank you very much for such touching tribute to our beloved singer. It made me cry and I needed this in such sad moment. I feel better now. Kazik
I discovered Ewa Podles about 12 years ago when I started music school and I remember there was a before and an after. It completely changed my perception of music. A unique voice whose intensity could bring me to tears, just with a single note. Sadness
Very fortunate to have seen her in recital and on the opera stage. Regarding the latter, I saw her sing the title role of Handel's "Giulio Cesare". She was outstanding!
Seeing the beautiful pictures of this artist in the bloom of youth onward profiles ever more powerfully what an extraordinary artist she was. Memory Eternal +!+!+!
Ewa était un miracle de musicalité, ses trois octaves, elle les mettait au service des personnages qu'elle incarnait. Ses kindertotenlieder sont à pleurer. De Vivaldi à Haendel et Strauss, rien ne démentait son pur génie. Adieu , donc et Requistat in pace aux cotés des anges
I thought maybe this one was one the reasons that caused her to... be passed away. He was 17 older than her and had lived a very long life. They used to perform together since 80s... It's very hard to lose a spouse after so many years together especially when you're old... I think Ewa just couldn't live all alone so...
Not only the best and greatest Contralto in any living memory, but the death of Eva Podles was the death, the end of an era, Finis. Lasr of the legendary 20th Century divas. Extinction of the breed, Somehow for some reason, singing teachers and opera houses lost the recipe, or understanding or motivation, but this breed of singer died when PODLES died. Nellie Melba's advice is taken In mamy European opera houses now: "Sing 'em muck," because they pay and applaud anyway. Even Russian-trained singers lost the wobbling ploi May Ewa Podles rest in eternal oeace,
What a fantastic voice and singer. ❤

Thank you for posting this fitting piece. Such a lovely voice.
Paz sua Alma.
Thank you Jorge, it's very émotion. Kim
So terribly sad that her husband died not even two months before her own death.
I thought maybe this one was one the reasons that caused her to... be passed away. He was 17 older than her and had lived a very long life. They used to perform together since 80s... It's very hard to lose a spouse after so many years together especially when you're old... I think Ewa just couldn't live all alone so...
У нас говорят про счастливые пары: "Они жили долго и счастливо, и умерли в один день".
Great voice RIP
