Agnes Baltsa has the brightness and volume I prefer in singers. She doesn't swallow the sound. Then again, it's almost a theater voice in some places.

The way Balsta performs Carmen is absolutely stunning love her voice the way she acts sings and looks is wonderful 👏 the costume she wears too looks so authentic. 😁

Agnes Baltsa's use of chest voice is so satisfying to the ear. It adds such an edge and clarity to the whole performance.

7. Agnes Baltsa, she's amazing❤❤❤

Agnes Baltsa, no doubt I agree in all voice, technique, interpretation, physique du rôle, absolutely authentic and perfect Carmen in this recording

I love all of them,but Agnes Baltsa is my favourite!

1st Elina Garanca - wonderful performance

Agnes Baltsa!!!!!

Agnes Baltsa, no doubt.

Baltsa and Obraztsová undoubtedly <3

Agnes Baltsa

Baltsa,siempre Baltsa!!!! ❤️

ELINA, HANDS DOWN. Had the opportunity to see all of the opera Carmen with her as lead, not knowing who she was. I was simply, simply blown away with her voice and especially her acting. For me ELINA, HANDS DOWN.

Agnes Baltsa is the best !! 🤩

7. Agnes Baltsa, she's just perfect !!

I adore Rinat Shaham's voice. It's so rich and powerful.

Obraztsova is my favorite

OMG no one can top Elena Garança. She wins in my personal opinion. Wow!

Without doubt, in terms of singing, expression & acting my top 3 by far are 1 - Agnes Baltsa, 2 - Elena Garanca (very close sesond) and 3 - Ana Caterina Antonacci (although I find her voice a bit too bright for Carmen). My favourite Carmen - who, alas, never sang the part on stage - is Maria Callas!

Mi preferida es Elina Garanca. Es el tono de voz q más se ajusta al personaje. También me gustaron la 3, la 5 y la 8.
