This lady is before my time, and somehow I seemed to have missed her when learning about opera and studying (in the 1980's). What a technique! Just listening to her feels like you're having a throat massage!

[@kurtganzl4290]

Not before mine :-) She was superb. But I stick to my old love, Oralia Dominguez' Amneris.

Questa donna è fenomenale e la sua interpretazione è un monumento al canto verdiano!

Best mezzosoprano in italian roles.Great singer.Splendid singing.First class.

[@WeicheWotan]

Simply spellbinding. A great performance.

[@operaclassicc]

i think that she is the most amazing Amneris that I have ever heard

[@zimnaya]

She is Amneris - such power. I first heard Fiorenza sing this on the LP with Monserrat Caballe as Aida. That was 30 years ago. She is still the very best Amneris...ever...

Sublime donna, sublime voce

[@michelelupo3862]

Fiorenza, great singer, great actress. Amo te.

I am a
superfan of obraztsova ,i think she has one of the rarest voice on earth ,but i think that she i s a wonderful Eboli,Ulrica,Azucena,Dalila ,Carmen etc but her amneris is very heavy for my taste .I think that the queen of amneris role s fiorenza cossotto .Anyway i love obraztsova ,I had the pleausre to hear her in pique dame Russia in 2008.i was speechless ,70 years old singing like that she was amazing

Fantastic! Thanks for posting it.
Re: the 1978 "soprano" album, the Rossini arias were conducted by Gabriele Ferro and the Verdi arias by Nello Santi. Excellent album...just very hard to find. The fact that she could sing these arias beautifully at 43 pretty much proves she could have taken on soprano roles during the 60's and 70's had
she chosen to do so.

La signora Cossotto la meglio voce di mezo Soprano verdiano di tutti i tempi ho pottuto ascoltarla da diecto impresionante e anche mi pare per quelli eruditi o chi pensanno di serlo de la lirica che la vita della opera sta proprio nella capacitá di ogni cantanti poter cantar con la sua voce unica e irepetibile. il repertório dei grandi compositori come Verdi in questo caso .

Muito bom! Emocionante!

[@chrishot10]

hm... what about elena obraztsova as Amneris? Personally, I think she is top-motch in this role.

[@Shahrdad]

What a ham!!!

[@Puppyizzy]

she is so amazing. I have to say i slightly like the other version of her better from the Met 3 years before this one. But maybe thats because the subtitles are in english in that one.

[@dodotassi]

MA ESISTE SU YOU TUBE QUESTA AIDA COMPLETA?

[@bojan34]

She separates every frase badly!

[@jbut1208]

She was and is the greatest Amneris!
