SHE WAS WONDERFUL!

I've followed/studied "great voices" for much of 40 years. Have never even heard the name of Pia Tassinari until this video. How is she NOT one of the elite voices that one even oblivious to opera would have bumped into...?

There are a lot of great singers that most people are not aware of. I first heard her sing the La Boheme arias. I made this for you. I prefer her voice to her husbands. Her voice is more open and balanced. kzread.info/dash/bejne/eGSfmrywZNO9fZs.html

Because nowadays a lot of people, especially younger generations attracted towards opera, find info and videos on the internet ( myself included). So, when a great artist is seldom seen on the net, it's more difficult to bump into his/her name. Plus, a certain critics school labelled the way of singing of these great artists as old fashoned or aged. I clearly remeber hearing a popular opera radio broadcast calling "great, but nowadays almost unacceptable" the way of singing of Italo Tajo, for example. Thankfully, many KZread users started to make those voices popular again. The owner of this channel, and others. I discovered more singers these past two years than the previous 7. Thanks to you guys for these precious uploads.

This is beautiful. Thank you!

I was introduced to Tassinari by a friend, many years ago. He claimed she didn't know what type of voice she had. The fact that she moved from soprano to mezzosoprano makes much more sense to me. Thanks.

She had many Tebaldi quality in her voice

I was thinking the same in her Adriana Lecouvreur. She is a soprano for me with ability to sing mezzo roles as well
