Description: This is, in my opinion, a perfect vissi d'arte. The chosen speed is slow yet the control of her vibrato and registers is exemplary, the phrasing heartbreaking without ever loosing sense of the musical line and the tone...well, Tebaldi's tone doesn't need introductions. Enjoy! |

| AnnElliot ::: Favorites 2007-08-20 15:32:41 The slow tempo works wonders, lets the voice do the job; and the applause... worthy of the legend. __________________________________________________ | |

| meltzerboy ::: Favorites 2007-08-21 17:34:47 For the whole opera, probably Callas was the best Tosca, or perhaps Muzio. But this "Vissi d'arte" of Tebaldi's is spectacular; what year was it sung and from which performance? Thanks for posting. __________________________________________________ | |
| patjan92 ::: Favorites 2007-08-22 07:42:51 One of the best renditions I've heard. The slowness of the tempo seems to highlight the best qualities in her voice. Awesome. __________________________________________________ | |
| VivaTebaldi ::: Favorites 2007-08-22 16:00:39 What a great voice - Incredible sound, so rich and poised. Perfection on earth - Nobody singing today have this sound - powerful and so feminine. Thanks for posting this. __________________________________________________ | |
| VivaTebaldi ::: Favorites 2007-08-22 16:25:05 I think this is from The Metropolitan Opera from 1956 with Richard Tucker and Leonard Warren. __________________________________________________ | |
| sevoflurane ::: Favorites 2007-08-23 09:11:08 Mitropoulos is conducting, right? __________________________________________________ | |
| VivaTebaldi ::: Favorites 2007-08-23 11:36:49 Yes it is Mitropoulos conducting. __________________________________________________ | |
| zetetics3 ::: Favorites 2007-08-23 12:51:20 I agree. What has happened to this type of wonderful singing? Not only Tebaldi, but many other of the greats from the past possessed this warm, straight forward way of singing. I love listening to so many of them in preference to today's singers. It's a mystery to me. Maybe it's a lost art. __________________________________________________ | |
| Andante735 ::: Favorites 2007-08-23 19:44:34 This type of wonderful singing comes from a lifetime of sacrifice, and respect for music. She in fact did live for her art, as did many others. She wasn't thinking about her lastest recording of " I could have danced all night". These are people who learned from Conductors, when Conductors knew something about singing, rather then brainstorming with General Managers about who's thin enough to do the next High Defintion Telecast in Times Square. It's over. __________________________________________________ | |
| Andante735 ::: Favorites 2007-08-23 19:47:09 P.S. This is the way it's supposed to sound. Ditto for Callas. __________________________________________________ | |
| Andante735 ::: Favorites 2007-08-25 10:42:58 It's perfection-- pure gold. __________________________________________________ | |
| listentomom ::: Favorites 2007-08-25 12:40:16 Yes, this is wonderful singing. I lament the loss of this type of singing also. But surely the art of teaching this free technique must have been passed down somewhere - PLEASE!!. Why do today's singers have these thready, thin sounds or overly plummed, airy sounds or pushed, strident, wobbly sounds? Who is ruining today's voices at the basic technical level?? __________________________________________________ | |
| jicontios ::: Favorites 2007-08-25 15:42:32 listentomom: I agree with you about today singers, there are NO great voices, today singers voices are average, too covered, no edge, not greatsounding voices etc, too many flaws.BUT let's admit a voice like Tebaldi is 1 or 2 in a century.R.Zandonai told that when she auditioned with him, in Italy she was called the italian Flagstad __________________________________________________ | |
