She was 54 at the time and in excellent voice. Her last performance took place in the Catalan town of Cambrills in August of 2014. No singer in memory, with the exception of perhaps Lilli Lehmann and Callas, has sung such an all-encompassing amount of the soprano repertory, progressing through virtually the entire range of Italian light lyric, lirico-spinto and dramatic roles, including all the pinnacles of the bel canto, Verdi and verismo repertories, whilst simultaneously being a remarkable interpreter of Salome, Sieglinde, Turandot and Isolde. A very gracious gesture after Casta Diva, joining hands with the chorus. I was pleasantly surprised when she announced she would sing something not on the program, Dolça Catalunya pàtria del meu cor. Gorgeous. She is incandescent as Salome, thrilling in "Sie sagen, dass die Liebe bitter schmecke… Allein, was tut’s? Was tut’s? Ich habe deinen Mund geküsst, Jochanaan, Ich habe ihn geküsst, deinen Mund." I wondered if she was going to sing "La paloma," after the Salome. What a beautiful sight holding the dove. 25 years later, she celebrated her 50th anniversary at the Liceu. María de Montserrat Bibiana Concepción Caballé i Folch died at the age of 85 in 2018. Bravissima!
Ihresgleichen findet sich auf der Heutigen Operbühne, nein . Ihre Menschlicheit, ihre Einlgartigkeit, ihr Humor, Ihr Lachen. Eines noch, ihre Natürlichkeit. Sie war einfach Monserat Cabelle, ohne sich als was besonderes zu sehen. Sie bereicherte die Opernbühne und, vor allem für jene, das auch diese Musik schön sein kann❤🙏
Alle sollten es immer beherzigen und dieses Andenken bewahren das es Moncerat Cabelle war ,die , die Oper liebenswert gemacht hat und für neue Lliebhaber bereicherte und dazu beitrug❤❤❤❤
Ни Каллас, ни Леман не спели такого огромного репертуара, как Величайшая Королева оперы Монтсеррат Кабалье! Её Небесный голос завораживает, очищает, исцеляет, облагоражиавет и поднимает на своих крылах в Божии Небеса! Ей не было и нет равных!!! Наши Любовь всегда с Монтсеррат!!!
I was there ! Really amazing and after all the concert, she concludes with last scene of Salomé terrifying and with her maestry in Strauss gots all the theatre stand up and a great ovation came !!!! Wow !!!
@@judyjones2475 , yes i was really shocked when she had finiished last scene of Salome ( pkease take a look in a private video from NY with Zubin Mehta in 1977 on the same Strauss moment!) she causes a pandemonium ! Another magic moment was the duetto of Otello with José Carreras !! It was a magic night of tribute to an exceptional woman !!!
Her videos should be restored. (There must be some computer geek out there who could do it.) She gave the world her ethereal voice and performances, they should last forever.
Do you know they were friends and that Montsy was a total admirer of Callas. When she was asked for singing "Norma", she went again to Callas to have her approval. There is an interview about that; Montserrat told:" Maria, do you think I can now sing Norma ? _ Yes, why not, with much work ...". And she laughed.
@@brunopicaude3092 Montserrat has trouble with the role, when she was recording the RCA album. For me, it was not one of her better roles and the RCA recording is evidence of that.
Nee natuurlijk niet maar wat heeft het hier mee te maken?? T zelfde Caballe never have the high note,s like DIVINA! Dus!?! Ik wil je alleen maar iets bijbrengen dat het nergens op slaat waar jij over begin.
@@DavidAsset78 did you see her performance of Norma in Orange, France in 1974? She was never in trouble with the role of Norma!!!. She was supreme in that role, especially that one in Orange in 1974!!!

@@brunopicaude3092 True, but Callas also went flat and sharp and often had a wide wobble in her top notes. Montserrat did not have those imperfections. I'm just not a huge Callas fan, although I can see why people liked her voice was in good shape.
Callas mentored Caballe. She is the one who convinced her to sing Norma and so on. They loved each other and had tremendous respect towards each other!
Yes, and Montsy questioned Maria when she was offered new roles. "Lady Macbeth ? _ Forget it !" "Abigaille ? Don't even think about it ". And Montsy , laughing, added: "And she was right, of course."

Esplêndido momento... A música que eleva e forma a alma...
Thank you. She was extraordinary. All the riches of that unique voice and a lady of a rare humanity in a humbled style poignantly generous.🌹
I have great love and respect for Callas, but she did not have the repertoire of La Superba.
@@BellaFirenze thank you so much for taking the time to translate .
@@lynnefisher8583Un piacere. Prego.
The most beautiful voice on earth and the greatest soprano ever existed.

Maravilhosa Montserrat...Eterna! Voz divina! Ser humano majestoso!
Non esistono parole sufficienti né commenti bastanti a descrivere un " miracolo umano " come la voce di Montserrat Caballé
Quienes amamos la belleza de la voz cantada encontraremos siempre en ella su máxima expresión. Sublime!
So wonderful....the greatest Montserrat Caballé 💞💞💞💞💞💞
Ни Каллас, ни Леман не спели такого огромного репертуара, как Величайшая Королева оперы Монтсеррат Кабалье! Её Небесный голос завораживает, очищает, исцеляет, облагоражиавет и поднимает на своих крылах в Божии Небеса! Ей не было и нет равных!!! Наши Любовь всегда с Монтсеррат!!!
Imagine standing on the stage absorbing that outpouring of love. I’m surprised her heart didn’t burst.
With Maestro José Carreras....amazing👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Just started watching and am overwhelmed. I defy any one to sing Mozart more beautifully than that
Or Verdi. etc. etc. etc.! Just stupendous. Thank you for posting.
Maravilhosa...Uma Diva....A maior soprano do séc xx , impossível não se encantar com ela numa Opera!
In dem war Monserat Vorreierin und es sollen alle Nackommen in der Opernwelt nie vergessen❤
I was there ! Really amazing and after all the concert, she concludes with last scene of Salomé terrifying and with her maestry in Strauss gots all the theatre stand up and a great ovation came !!!! Wow !!!
I love seeing this concertCaballe is fantastic. However, it has always caught my attention that she, the honoree, had to sing everything
Please tell us more 🙏

TV station who made a transmission must have it in the archive.
Maravillosa,unica,e inigualable
Ihr Mann als Überraschung war bestimmt stolz aus seine Monzy❤
Maravilhosa... Encanta sempre! Que voz abençoada...
Incredibile come la sua voce si è resa viva con la sua fantastica esperienza
Grandioso concerto

I always loved Monserrat Caballe. Callas was a better actress, but her vocal equipment and technique could never match Caballe's. No one could float a pianissimo like Caballe. Some of my most memorable nights at the Met were spent listening to Montserrat.
True, but Callas had huge top notes and a dark low register that Montsy didn't possess.
(I do specify that I'm an absolute fan of Montserrat 🥰).
@@brunopicaude3092 True, but Callas also went flat and sharp and often had a wide wobble in her top notes. Montserrat did not have those imperfections. I'm just not a huge Callas fan, although I can see why people liked her voice was in good shape.
Vervelen die wijsneuzen zich zo dat zij over totaal verschillende sopranen gaan zitten vitten !?!
Callas mentored Caballe. She is the one who convinced her to sing Norma and so on. They loved each other and had tremendous respect towards each other!
Yes, and Montsy questioned Maria when she was offered new roles. "Lady Macbeth ? _ Forget it !" "Abigaille ? Don't even think about it ". And Montsy , laughing, added: "And she was right, of course."
It would be so good if someone could translate her speech…
I would be eternally grateful , if some kind person , could possibly tell me what she is saying in this last speech pleaseeeee🥰
Untertitel in Deutsch ginge das, wäre schön. Danke😊
