    I have always loved Caballe and she has been my idea of the perfect voice. People will compare her to Sutherland who's sound was like singing through a tunnel with words that were difficult to understand (although I love her voice). They compare her to Callas which is ridiculous as Callas had an almost unreal quality when she was at her best but it was not always beautiful and she all too often did not deliver when the time came. Caballe was sure and steady and her performances were precise but glittering. She sounded like a girl singing softly but then had a volume that was beyond reach. Her voice was truly angelic and no one could surpass her.

    Unmistakable Caballé! But this is otherworldly. She's weaving lace out of gossamer. If you so much as breathe, you break it. Her human throat and chest may be dust and ashes, but this perfection exists on, like a promise of never-ending eternity.

      If she was not the best then who in the world was? She could go from the gossamer lace to full-throated emotion; to the highest, softest pianissimi to the strongest mezzo chest voice. Whatever the music demanded. There are and have been many immensely talented sopranos. But Montserrat Caballe just leaves them all behind. Brava Maestra Caballe. We will have her thrilling voice forever.

    Why people are comparing her to Southerland here is beyond me. They were such individual voices. But I think Montserrat had the edge over the other greats of the day with the exception of Callas. Her ability to sing a pianissimo that was heard to the top gallery was amazing.
    When she caressed a note, it spun out like gold, her ear was absolutely impeccable. Her lower notes were dark, rich and yet sparkling with vivacity. Always. I am sorry discovered her so late in life, but recordings like this make up for it. Thank You!!!

I don’t know if she signed this particular cover, or she signed a cover and they printed copies of it. I like to think it was the former , but not sure. I want to get in in a shadow box to display. It’s too thick to put in a regular frame. It is so beautiful and in mint condition. Can’t believe my luck in this purchase.

    Ihanan notkea ja huilumainen Sra Caballe. tenori on näyttämöllä/levytyksessä lähinnä mikrofonia, jonka vuoksi hänen äänensä kuuluu päällimmäisenä. Caballen korkea ja notkea ääni on ihana. Harmillista, että siinä ei ole sellaista voimaa, joka antaisi vastusta tenorille. Sra Caballe ei missään tapauksessa ole dramaattinen sopraano, joka ylittäisi orkesterin, mutta hänen vaivattomasti ja helposti soljuva hopeainen äänensä soi ihanasti.

      Georg M This is a criticism? Sutherland had probably the most natural upper register of all time, and here Caballe displays almost the same freedom on the high tones.
      Caballe in her prime was never 'flawed' in an ugly sense of the world. Yes she lacked range and sometimes her agility was off, but never flawed in a vulgar or crass sort of way. The sound was always beautiful.

Caballe was a quasi-assoluta singer who lacked the extreme ranges of a true assoluta (Callaa), but could adapt her voice to heavy dramatic roles like Norma, as well as quintessential lyric roles like Mimi and the Mozart countess. She was the opposite of Sutherland, who had those upper 6th octave notes, but lacked the middle and lower register.
