É possibile sentire l’opera al completo.Leyla Bravíssima!

Grandissima!!!

Cossotto una de las más grandes Amneris…. Me deja sin palabras su interpretación Brava Fiorenza Bravo Verdi. Gracias por compartir esta joya de música, un verdadero regalo para los oídos y los sentidos …..esta música nos alimenta el alma ❤❤❤

IT WAS DURING THIS PERIOD 1985..6....I SAW COSSOTTO AS AMNERIS AND THE PRINCIPESSA IN ADRIANNA...AT THE LICEO BARCELONA...AND I CAN VOUCH THAT SOMETIMES THE HIGHEST NOTES MAY STRAY SLIGHTLY FROM PITCH.....BUT OTHER TIMES AS IN THE TRIUMPHAL SCENE IN AIDA....WITH A BIG SMILE ON HER FACE.....SHE SANG THOSE CLIMACTIC BFLATS...DROWNING OUT CHORUS ORCHESTRA AND SOLOISTS ON STAGE WITH HER VOICE.....I WILL NEVER FORGET THAT.....ALSO THE SAME EVENING THEY UNFURLED A HUGE POSTER OF HER FROM THE GODS AND PROCEEDED TO GIVE HER THE HIGHEST HONOR THE GOLDEN ROSE OR SOMETHING MEDAL.....IF YOU LISTEN.....THEY ARE STILL APPLAUDING NOW!!!!

I was fortunate to hear this extraordinary Cossotto at the Baths of Caracalla in Rome in 1988. Her magnificent voice rode over the orchestra and reached out to an audience enthralled by not only the pump but the beauty of her singing

Heavenly sung. Rich chest voice and stable beautiful high notes. Amazing!

FLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT.

Fantastica! Adoro!!! 💖💖💖

The greatest Amneris ever!!!

Cossotto was an amazing electrical voice , temperamental and generous great voice !!

ОСВЕН ГЛАС ИМА ХАРИЗМА И СЦЕНИЧНО ПРИСЪСТВИЕ. ДОБРА АКТРИСА!

She was a great singer and amazing Amneris. However, she wasn't a good colleague to work with. I sang with a conductor who worked with her and said it wasn't a pleasant experience. Constantly upstaging (or trying to upstage) other artists all the time.

This is the great Cossotto! I see some of the critics don't agree! Some believe that finding fault in the great gives them status! It doesn't! In fact mere words from me cannot do this marvelous performance justice!

A fine performance.....but I like the version by Dolora Zaijck way better..... but this one is a very good runner up.

La UNICA Amneris!!!

Interpretazione magistrale, da brividi!!! Grandissima e difficilmente superabile! 🎩🎩🎩🌷

she's the most overrated opera singer ever and nobody's mezzo.

Who was the conductor? In my opinion, the tempi are a bit slow.

Someone on youtube edited together from this tape the complete aria "Cortigiani, vil razza dannata" from Callas, but I can't find it now.

The greatest Amneris ever.

She is clearly NOT a real dramatic mezzo. She is a resonant lyric mezzo. I hear some struggles with notes here and wobbles too.

Awful camera work. Too close to catch the flash of Cossotto's cape as she reacts to the priests' judgment.

FIORENZE = FANTASTIC.

An addendum: listen to the applause after Fiorenza's closing "Anatema su voi": she stopped the show and some in the audience were literally banging on the walls. It was more than memorable and everyone that night knew it. At the end this great artist was showered with confetti and thanked with a large number of bouquets.

I had the opportunity to see her in Ballo, Trovatore, Adriana, and La Favorita and in all I was astonished with her performance. Fabulous!

Una de las grandes escenas de la lírica, interpretada magistralmente por la Cossotto. Cuando el maestro Verdi compuso esta obra debió esperar una interpretación como ésta, que combina de manera insuperable la actuación, la presencia escénica y la voz de Fiorenza. Ya han pasado más de 30 años de verla en este rol y mantengo vivo cada momento de su sublime arte.

2:09 WOW

the moment when blood gets frozen in the veins, so great and unconventional opera!

Omfg the acting.

What year was this?

La piu' grande Amneris di tutte.

Florencia la UNICA Y GRANDE AMNERIS!

My god , what a performance.... Cosotto is one of the "sacred monsters"of the stage :)

She eats up the stage at those last chords!!!!

To those still peddling the "Cossotto upstaging Callas" story, I invite you to listen to her collaborations with Sutherland and Caballe in Norma. A side-by-side comparison will show you that Cossotto held back during her duets with Callas. Just listen to how she went all out in her singing with Caballe and Joan Sutherland (both in good vocal health at that time) and you'll realize how much she held back when she sang with Callas who was in poor vocal health at that time. So far from being inconsiderate, she was actually VERY thoughtful and giving to her partners. Only when she knows that her partner is in good vocal health does she really go all out (she does get competitive). One can honestly say that her tendency to go all out with some singers sounds quite compelling at times, and at times just sounds tacky and detracts from the singing. Nevertheless, one cannot fault her for being inconsiderate.

es Magnifica!!!!!!!...por Dios...qué interpretación!!!....Única la Cossotto!!!!!!!!!!!!!!...

belles voix, Hymel a une voix superbe, la voix du rôle d' Énée.

date?

happy birthday!!!

Évidemment, on ne comprend rien, et le ténor hurle d'une voix puissante, somme toute fort belle. Est-ce un duo d'amour, ou sommes nous dans Cavalleria Rusticana ?

I was at Cossotto's debut at the Met in which she sang Amneris, and heard her in the part several times afterwards. She was fabulous. At her debut she stole the show. If I had to pick, she is the best Amneris I have seen. I also saw Obratzova sing the part at the Met and she was also fabulous, with a bigger and deeper voice than Cossotto, but Cossotto's voice pierced straight to the note whereas Obratzova's, magnificent though it was, lacked that directness, plus there was a latin quality she did not posses. I am sorry I never saw Simionato in this part. By the way, Cossotto was also the best Santuzza I ever saw, bar none, soprano or mezzo.

Semplicemente gigantesca!

GRANDE!

La voz pertenece a W. Mateuzzi...

She gave "Norma Desmond" at the end!! Fabulous!!

Gee, thought that was Italian!

Again sadly another great soprano who just cannot pronounce the German properly.

Non sono mai stato un suo Fan ma devo ammetterlo : STRAORDINARIA !

Concordo con Usted totalmente. La voz de Cossotto es una voz de Mezzo Soprano pero muy femenina, en Amneris es genial, como dice usted es nacida para ella, me gusta mucho Maria Chiara y tengo su disco en Decca que es muy bueno, pero que tambien tengo la de EMI donde Riccardo Muti dirige a Cossoto junto a Caballé y Domingo, y otros cantantes de primera linea, y solo puedo decir que la historia esta tan bien interpretada que es creible, Cossotto no es hija del Faraon, es una mujer enamorada...
