Most lovely. Sometimes the Countess seems self-pitying, like a bleating victim, but this soprano seems much more dignified and poised. (Not to mention the beautiful voice, of course.)
After all, it is an excellent barbarism to make a loud preface on the bars of the introduction to the aria! Ranting to Mozart is like signing on Raphael...
We love Eleanor. Fortunately I heard her many times.
I love the open throated quality of her voice, plus her soprano is so bright and spinning, too. And she's consummately musical as well.
Her tonal quality is outstanding!! It's even throughout the entire aria and very pure!
When callas said, mozart should only be sung by big voices in either a mezzo forte or a piano but never with small voices… this must be it ❤️

One of the greatest voices ever - in my opinion - pure beauty. Wonderful ease and control. 💛
Fantastically done. How does she compare with Kiri, or Schwarzkopf?
Any god of love would grant ber pleas.
The LOST ART of SINGING
Not lost yet! Very rare, but we will fight it back!
Fantastica! Stupenda! Sublime!
She sounds glorious. Truly one of the greatest singers ever.
Exquisite in every way possible.
Gosto de assistir os vídeos da Eleanor. Além da voz maravilhosa, é possível perceber quando ela apoia.
Perfetta
Rest in peace, Eleanor.
Ya no quedan voces así de clásicas pero hay parecidas.. Conformarse.. 😊😊
Personal fave...
***** Agree 100%

And? Amor and amore mean the same thing in italian.
Find me a better Contessa in the whole history of recorded music!
