Luciana D'Intino sings O don fatale! from Verdi's "Don Carlo" at the 2007 Richard Tucker Music Foundation Gala. Asher Fisch, Conductor and member of the Metropolitan Opera Orchestra.
It's probably the MOST beautiful voice I have ever heard in my entire life! I had the enormous pleasure to see and listen to Luciana as Amneris a couple of years ago ❤
Mezzos like Luciana D'Intino and Stephanie Blythe....they just make take your breath away, make your heart stop and then bring you back to life, again and again!! She is phenomenal! Check out her recording of 'La Gioconda', with Violetta Urmana in the lead role and Placido Domingo. It is such a high calibre of singing all round that you simply wont believe it! But of her own merit, I feel a part of a GREAT LEGEND, being alive when she's at the height of her career. Eviva Luciana!! Bravissima!!
I'm not quite sure what point you're trying to make here ... however, I think you'll find that Ms D'Intino has indeed 'made her mark' on the opera world despite the fact that she has not become a household-ish name such as Garanca or Kasarova. While many enjoy her 'style' of singing, there are some who deem it too 'traditional' and think that this is not what the public want to hear - oh, how they are wrong!
Simply lovely. I read somewhere that this aria (which I was not familiar with at all) was technically demanding so I came to UA-cam straight away to find a clip. I'm so glad this was the example I found. Just splendid!
Tebaldi is the Elsa. I wish she could have done this at the Met. With the right moves I bet her reps could have gotten the Met to put this on even in Italian. The whole cast in the complete performance, puts on a tremendous performance.
My first contact with d'Intino was her Laura Adorno on EMI with Urmana and Domingo. I was really struck by how even all three registers were, with a warm creamy sound to top it all off!! This was my second, and I became more interested in seeing her other performances. A worthy successor to the empty throne that Simionato and Cossotto left in Italy
I agree - the 2001 Parma version is astounding! This is not a bad account of 'O don fatale' but the earlier version is a real showstopper, as it should be! Why d'Intino has never made it right to the forefront of today's singers is beyond me. She hails from that traditional Italian school of mezzos (Simionato, Barbieri, etc), with phenomenal voices, ranges and a great sense of drama. I have watched her clips here countless times but never tire of them. Brava!
To: arpeggio 1358 If you are trying to compare this performance w/Simionato and say that this one is better, than I have nothing to add, as you do not hear the real evenness due to the quality of older recording of Simionato, but I am sure that if you heard Simionato live, you would not even compare them....that is why opera dies, very few people understand the difference.
@arpeggio1358 Wow! What a pleasant surprise! She is really brilliant! Where do you keep finding such great talents?! I've never heard of her. Wonderful lower register! I really appreciate your taste:-). Thanks for sending this video to me. Thank God that not all the female mezzos sing like Bartoli! LOL
Beautiful voice, but her singing is rather monotonous, without any change of color for the shifting moods of the aria, and despite being Italian, she doesn't really seem to bite into or use the words for expressive effects. But the singing is quite lovely.
Very monotonous. Also I could add that her choices for chest use is unusual compared to everyone else. She adds chest where there is no need...and you get an odd sound where we are used to hearing head tones. That bothered me.
I have listened this this several times, and it's not the model of perfection, but it is FAR from being a disaster. I ask, who is an excellent Eboli these days? Olga Borodina? Violeta Urmana? Wrong, and wrong. Anyway, I like D'intino's chest voice. If she had been THAT bad, she would sounded very wobbly and opaque.
Singers w / great instruments don't need to distract w / those standard hand & arm movements. They all seem to do it, even when recording. A great singer w / a great voice should let the voice speak for itself. They don't have to be a statues, but they don't have to use the same-old-same-old everyone else uses. I have seen singers "stand & deliver" in concerts w / o trying to fly off-stage ; I have also seen a soprano, in concert, do a somersault after an aria -- the other extreme. What's-Her-Face ( "I know what I'm doing". ) likes to dance while singing in concerts to distract us from the horrors she has put her once-beautiful voice.
Great singer! interestingly, I saw her laura in paris last year and the voice did not sound as huge and dramatic, I even got the impression she even was underpowered at times, weird huh? she sounds so massive in recordings... by comparison Violeta Urmana sounded better projected, partly because of all the screeching, but you could hear her clearly
In a way she reminds me of Dolora Zajick - fabulous voice but total lack of an ability to come out of herself and no idea whatsoever of how to move on stage.
It's not enough that singers like DiDonato and Fleming sing, record, etc....They even take over presenters' jobs...Does it ever end...It's a monopoly!!!! More power to the powerful! Basta!!!!!
@@rafaelbanusirusta5430 negli anni 1958-68 questo repertorio lo interpretavano i contralti e i mezzosoprani drammatici veri . D'Intino se continua di ''gonfiare'' il medium della sua voce del soprano drammatico pagherà caro con la sua voce . il vecchio
Hi bodiloto! Yes, she might be a Soprano, but I don’t care, I like her 😉. Check this channel you would probably like it ua-cam.com/channels/ZmPxGnYwbE-mrhuI0UivHQ.html
This is how it should be sung!!! This mezzo chest voice is soooooooo warming and fantastic!
True mezzo with real chest voice. Wonderful singing in every way. Bravissima.
It's probably the MOST beautiful voice I have ever heard in my entire life! I had the enormous pleasure to see and listen to Luciana as Amneris a couple of years ago ❤
She makes my day better every time I watch this jewell!!!

Wow! Such a beautiful and powerful voice! Bravissima❤👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻❤️💯
Love the chest voice. Ole' time singin'. Oh how I miss it...
Wow!! Had not heard of this singer. She's glorious, especially in the lower part of her voice - such richness. Thanks!!
beautifull dramatic mezzosoprano

Otellogv Garanca and Kasarova are lyric mezzos and of course have no business singing this role.
Excellente voice and interpretation! My preferred Eboli! Brava!
Santo cielo è così che si deve cantare: da pelle d'oca
Didn't think there were any left! Brilliant,truly exciting singing!!!Thankyou thank youthankyou!!!
what a great sound!!
I saw Signora D'Intino as Eboli in the Vienna State Opera in 2012...great performance :)
Ah yes.... the ideal voice for Eboli.... pure delight!
go girl :D she was BRILLIANT today in Paris, leaving me breathless in both her arias, god this woman is something!
Simply lovely. I read somewhere that this aria (which I was not familiar with at all) was technically demanding so I came to UA-cam straight away to find a clip. I'm so glad this was the example I found. Just splendid!
Fabulous!!!

The bottom of her voice is simply luscious!

comme d´habitude, mariasarda a raison.
Bravi Luciana et bravo Mariasarda.
I want to know who disliked this video. Seriously, WHAT is to dislike?
шикарно!
Grande!
Written for the kind of voice you DON'T have, Joyce: mezzo

Para ser algo de algo donde "hoy" en día no esta mál pero definitavamente necesita mejorar.
This is the sound Zajick was going for, but always had that closed -mouth middle and low and open weirdo spread top ....

Лирическое меццо-сопрано
@dziady1 I would love to hear anyone in a road company with a low as good as hers.
Siamo parenti

@CatalinaDM56 delicious, isn't it????

Check out Simionato instead..........no comparison!
some bozo who would have given this 10 likes if it was Bieber, I'm sure,lol!
se scandisse meglio le parole....da un'italiana almeno..che cacchio!
Lackluster bland performance.
soprano .
Beautiful voice ❤️
^Para nada. El color es totalmente de mezzo. No como "sucedáneos".
@@mariacasemyr
ma non e' vero .
questa ragazza avrà dei problemi grandi se continua di ''caricare'' il medium .
questa e' la voce del soprano vero .
