    "Fantastic!" I can get enough of her voice! She sings with such feeling and ease! She is was underrated! I'm a singer myself and I just heard her recently and I can't understand why I haven't heard of her before this! I have become addicted to her voice.

    Esta es la técnica que ahora difícilmente se puede escuchar en los teatros del mundo, pero no hay otra forma para cantar: Buen apoyo profundo, buen punto de emisión y puro aliento bien dirigido y conectado desde el diafragma. No es de otra manera. El que pueda entender que entienda.

    An important point: the inclusion of the preceding recitative, which is so necessary to make us feel the pure C major of the aria as really tragic. The grief is too great for a minor key, nothing but the major will do. When the aria is given alone, one can miss this effect.

    Miscast and terrible. This is not any good performance by Nan, and its a shame because she has sung other roles far better. She needs to leave the masculine roles to the men who can perform them like Ivan Kozlovsky, Tito Schipa, and Luciano Pavarotti.

    Since Gluck wrote tthis for a castrato to have a man sing this music it has to be altered. Do you feel that way about Cherubin, Komponist (Ariadne auf Naos) and Hansel other travest roles? I've herd the Schipa and felt that he hadn't the slightes idea of how to sing Gluck who did rewrite the music for a tenor when he wrote the French version which lies very high.
