No one has filled her chair in this repertoire, and is quite unlikely that anyone else ever will. She is as responsible for the bel canto revival as Callas and Sutherland. Callas started it, Sutherland continued, and Horne put the whipped cream on top of the cake. Her composer was Rossini, and she astonished the opera world with her fireworks. May she remain secure in the annals of opera!

@@theonlygoodlookinghabsburg2081 the extremely different is in the tissues of the voice, especially in the low registers. In general The Great Maryline Horne is an exception she can cover extremely high and low notes. But the tissues are different. Maestra Valentini Terrani remains the perfect in this role, il colore è sempre ambrata, quasi mai chiaro, gli acuti sono bronzei colorati tenuti e squillanti ambrati. Ci manchi

@@giovanniarioli2971 Ah yes, the great Terrani with her extremely warm & creamy color. I like to think of her as the mezzo/contralto sister of Leyla Gencer. I don't think there are any other singers whom I enjoy their high notes more than these two ladies (RIP). I don't particularly like Horne's high notes that much. But when she sings low, I can't resist her, I'm very happy that she decided to sing mostly as a Rossinian coloratura-mezzo. That said, I still enjoy her 1970 Norma & Anna Bolena (with Nicola Ghiaurov) very much. Especially Norma, because even though Adalgisa sings high, there are many intimate moments. And I think her duet with Tagliavini in Act 1 is my favorite.

Mostruosa! Di un'altro pianeta. Una vera tecnica inossidabile.una facilita di canto inpressionante in tutti I registri. Persino nei trilli .....un timbro di voce di un'omogeneitta disarmante.LA PIU GRANDE!!!

She belongs in the Pantheon of singers. No one like her. I once had the privilege of escorting her to her car on a rainy night in New Haven around 1988, after a recital (and a quick conversation with me).

I'd never heard this performance. thank you! One of the things I love about her is that she varies the ornamentation of works she sings repeatedly.

Señores estamos escuchando nada mas y nada menos que MARILYN HORNE.❤❤❤❤❤

A once in a century gift to humanity from the supernatural realms!

My favorite Mezzo

Amazing performance. This is a true testimony of the kind of bel canto. From Santiago of Chile October 2016

Maravilhosa!!! Gratidão por nos presentear...

En 1986, la Horne avait retrouvé son niveau habituel, qu'elle n'avait pas toujours eu entre 1983 et 85. Je l'ai vue à Pesaro dans Bianca e Faliero en 1986, où elle fut époustouflante.

That`means "Heaving V O I C E " perfectly!

Horne uses her voice as an if it were one of the metal instruments of the orchestra. Exact in tone from bottom to top. Wonderful vocal production. I loved most of her performances and recordings.

With Best I meand Singing in the real sence of the world. She know EXACTLY what she could have done with her voice. She know the "Classical" studies- trills, legato,voce bianco, Mascher- SHE KNOWS IT> SHE IS SIMPLY FANTASTIC

Grazie! Fantastica!

Marilyn Horne is- without any question- the greatest SINGER of the last 30 Years. Maybe some others where gerater actors- but she ist absolutely the best. She has all- Style, timbre, Stamina,Colour and intelligence. BRAVA a tur ANIMAL DI PALCO SCENICO When I see and hear her (and some others0 I" m shocked about the musical standard today. THIS IS A RECORDING for Centurys- like Caruso, Tetrazzini, Onegin. Brava. Thank you so much for posting!!!!!

Maravilhosa.

OLIVCHEN77 non e nessun miracolo. C'e un enorme lavoro dietro che sicuramente,da grande professionista quale e sempre stata, ha mantenuto fino alla fine della sua splendida carriera. Questa si chiama umilta . Mica come oggi che cantano in continuazione qualsiasi repertorio convinti di essere arrivati. Questa chiamasi arroganza!!! Lei invece era magnifica

grazie marylin

I love her also in the Handel repertoire.

Deep respect.

I mean, wow... !!

warever absolutamente maravillosa BRAVISIMA

Horne for President! :)

thank you so much for uploading this. so this is the calbo version (maometto II)? it differs from the neocle version (l'assedio di corinto) with many more ornamentations. there is also a concert version of the assedio aria with an extended scena, which horne performed with henry lewis, i think. does anyone know of any other singers that have performed the extended scena, i have never found another one.

And in Bellini and in Mahler and in Bizet and in showtunes and in traditional songs and in basically everything she ever sang. :)

Dopo aver ascoltato la Valentini Terrani (totalmente sopraffatta dalla difficoltà di quest'aria) e la Podles (tra il mostruoso ed il parodistico) sentire una voce omogenea e che tecnicamente domina e controlla tutte le difficoltà con naturalezza pare un miracolo. Solo alcune agilità stile yodel mi lasciano un pochino perplesso

where was this concert?

At 8:46 when's she's concluding, doesn't the conductor look positively SILLY frantically gesticulating as if he's going to the get orchestra to play faster for those few measures. Why bother? They could play that part without his waving his arms about.

Strepitosa!

Bella voce, ma la musica di chi è? ;)

DonCavagna ahahahah la mia frase era una citazione di Rossini stesso: quando Adelina Patti cantò per lui la cavatina di Rosina, la infarcì ti così tante variazioni da rendere irriconoscibile la melodia originale. Rossini allora commentò così quella esecuzione...

😅

Cecilia Bartoli is also a real humdinger. Sometimes words don't suffice to describe people like Marilyn Horne. Let's just listen instead.

Appena sentita più volte la compianta nostra veneta Valentini Terrani, l'italiana ha un vero registro da contralto e non è vero che è sopraffatta dall'esecuzione ma canta sul serio. La horne a volte cinguetta e non esprime assolutamente nulla !!

great talent but Shirley Verrett sang this so much better so much purer not like the harshness of horne's voice

Your comment is a great example of fact vs opinion. There is a reason why Ms. Horne was Sutherland's mezzo of choice. I'm not a fan of putting one singer over another.

No, we are not "entering a time of increased hostility toward people of faith." This is just a way people who make money off of religion scare you into parting with your hard earned cash and hand it to them. Because these evil posers worship at the altar of MONEY.

Marilyn has a gorgeous voice but this makes her sound like a general going to war. This song is poorly suited for her voice. She even sounds tired.

@@lucianolucci6402, era troppo tardi. A Pesaro doveva essere la prima ad essere chiamata, ma scritturarono altre insipide e dilentantesche e gli anni sono passati. Gli Abbado, i Pollini, i Gelmetti si facevano gli affari loro. Hanno sfornato decine di produzioni noiose e tutte uguali all'insegna della filologia...adesso fanno acqua da tutte le parti. Non s'e' divertito nessuno. I Ronconi, i Pizzi e company hanno ammazzato visivamente l'opera. Purtroppo indietro non ci torniamo piu'.

I used to admire Horne a lot. Now not that much. But not even when I admired her did I like this performance. She sounds horrible here: awful emission, dull interpretation, ugly variations, tiny voice, somehow clumpsy coloratura and sometimes even out of tempo.
