Shirley Verrett is absolutely superb, perhaps the best soprano performer of a Verdi´s Requiem that I have heard since Maria Caniglia in the 1939 recording with Stigniani, Gigli e Pinza. A wonderful surprise is very good, correct very young tenor Peter Kelen in the begining of his career. He was an excellent Deux Grieux oposite Ylona Tokody at Opera Brasil in the Theatro Municipal do Rio de Janeiro and also São Paulo.
@@luisnorbertogomez2328 vocalmente la Caballé è piu soprano, dunque eterea e di colore argente, ma la Verrett a una forza di interpretazione impressionante, profonda e salvagia. A dovuto cantare i 6 concerti del giro perché la Freni era malata...ed è un challenge per un falcon questo Requiem.
I was totally unaware of this performance. It was fantastic!!! All of the singer were excellent, but I am partial to Ms. Verrett. She soared through that soprano part.
Hááát, láttam-hallottam sok előadást és felvételt életem során, de ez mindent visz! Fantasztikus emberek, és sír a lelkem, hogy már csak Kelen Péter van köztünk!
1:26:44 now that's what I call a High C at the top of your lungs with tutta forza, as it should be. Loved the face of the tenor like thinking: "I need to see AND hear this"
Did anybody noticed that Obraztsova wares a cross? As a Soviet singer no.1, performing in a Warsaw pact "brother socialist" anti religious country and representing the USSR in front of the whole world it was a big statement to do so! Especially in 1981, Brezhnev times, years before Gorbachev and the reforms. The performance is amazing of course.
Потрясающее исполнение!Очень редко в интерпретациях Реквиема Верди можно услышать настоящую МЕССУ,ЛИТУРГИЮ,а здесь она в абсолютном воплощении!Сопрано Ширли Варретт- просто восхитительно,прекрасно,божественно!!!...
Thank you SO much for this share. After all these audio live with more or less good quality, we can now watch the "real thing"; and it is grandioso! Hope one DVD will be available one day.
It was quite a shock but being that they toured he was probably not in his best form this night so he marked the note instead of singing through the crack being that it was recorded.
Ghiaurov was not well that evening. He sang anyway because there was no one else to replace him, but he very respectfully and honorably performed as the great artist he was. You can't judge an artist because of one note.
Lots of nice things can be said about these soloists, but its interesting to see that they also can do mistakes or be in bad shape. 35:46 the tenor is in a rush -skipping one beat. 40:47: the bass misses his final high note.
Tenor is mediocre and cannot sustain a pianissimo or trill in the Hostias. Ghiaurov is clearly having an off night. The ladies superb, Shirley Verrett especially: in a state of grace, soaring effortlessly in the Libera Me.
Pésima dicción del tenor, no estudió ni practicó en profundidad el latín, el resultado es una desagradable mezcla entre un acento inglés y una fonética italiana, una cosa muy extraña y desagradable al oído.
not one of my favorite versions.except for Verrett, who is excellent, the other soloists , especially the men , just try to sing their notes and sometimes they fail.on the boring side
I totally enjoyed Verrett! Love her on this besides Leontyne Price. The mezzo I enjoyed as well! The men needed a day of rest and probably dranked some bourbon the previous night which is no Bruno! Overall it went well at least and the choir, yes, yes and yes!
Abbado, Verrett, Ghiaurov and my favorite singer Obraztsova! No words.
Yes... a dream cast...

Terrific Mezzo. And the great Shirley Verrett.
La Verrett è una benedizione del cielo ! Ciò che interpreta resta nella storia della musica! Dopo di lei nessuna!
SE OLVIDA DE CABALLE ES MUY SUPERIOR A VERRET

Suprema la Verret concordo! Ma anche la Tebaldi ci ha lasciato registrazioni supreme del Requiem.
Verrett negotiates this music with amazing power, what a revelation! Obraztsova is her equal.
They are wonderful together
Abbado is really outstanding ! Within all, i remark Helena Obratzsova ! Wow !
Meravigliosi. Che gioia ascoltare un livello così alto ❤
At capè che cast. Direzione spettacolare
All of the soloists are remarkable, but Ms. Verrett is sublime.

@nmeszi Kelen was terrible! 😏
Braviiii tutti!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! UN NIVEL ALTISIMO!!

Fantastic!
Aragall? Jaume?❤
@@aliced9372this is not Aragall
Quel trio (le ténor nettement en deçà des autres, mais Ghiaurov en méforme) et quel chef et quel choeur et quel orchestre et quel bonheur.
Oui, le tenor! 🤭

She might of just worn it for the performance for the requiem.
@@zhamiram6578 That's the point. She could ware it under her jacket in her daily life, but here it means something, doing it on a public event.
just a fashion statement, do not jump to conclusions
People say this mezzo belonged to kgb and was on Putin’s side
@@andreaguarino8207 Не пишите чушь. У нас есть поговорка: Говорят в Москве кур доят...
Meraviglia delle Meraviglie, da BRiVIDI Claudio Abbado rimarra' per sempre nei nostri cuori.
I am so moved by Abbado. Such and kind and humble genius.
What a beauty....
Genialne! Zaje@#ste! Słucham 3 raz i mam odlot. Shirley and Elena I LOVE YOU!!! So sad you are no longer with us...

1:28:15 Maestro Abbado had wished for a calm moment before the applause!!!
Exactly....
Verrett is on top form here. wow! ( the tenor is cute :)
Bravissimo
Gentle.,passionate,over humanbeeig senses. Abbado saintly talent. Thank you my Godt
Claudio. Inimitable. Elena Obratzova y Shirley Verret geniales.
Wonderfull voices & Abbado. Tenors Ingemisco sounds nice, little more exercise. ❤❤😊
Ich Liebe das Lied Wunderschön Gott segne uns alle
좋은 글과 사진들이 참 많네요. 자주 소통해요!
VERRETT !!!!!!! ❤❤❤
Un commento negativo solo per la presa del suono!!!!!! Che non rende giustizia a questa presentazione di alto valore
Nunca se ha visto un bajo (y famoso) faltar el agudo final del "Confutatis".
Increible..
Escandaloso.
It was quite a shock but being that they toured he was probably not in his best form this night so he marked the note instead of singing through the crack being that it was recorded.

❤️❤️❤️
Светлая память Аббадо и Образцовой.
Гениально Образцова Аббадо вообще улет
It surprises me that Ghiaurov is not in a good condition here.
The 80's were when he started to lose a lot of his power. He's my favorite singer and I hate to hear it.
MACBETH, con la Verrett in veste di soprano!!!🎶🎶🎶🎶
Lots of nice things can be said about these soloists, but its interesting to see that they also can do mistakes or be in bad shape. 35:46 the tenor is in a rush -skipping one beat. 40:47: the bass misses his final high note.
Ghiaurov really a master !
How did Kellen get this gig? Was he sick during this performance?
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Tenor is mediocre and cannot sustain a pianissimo or trill in the Hostias. Ghiaurov is clearly having an off night. The ladies superb, Shirley Verrett especially: in a state of grace, soaring effortlessly in the Libera Me.
What is the orchcestra?
Scala
@@jovi1715 Grazie!
Is the chorus that of La Scala also?
Ancora: il tenore è un “ temprino” sempre sommerso dalla Verrett!
Think Libera Me something slow...
This is a very draggy performance, no doubt
Draggy? I don’t think so.
42:15
Qualcuno si ricorda, sempre con Abbado, il MACBETH della Scala? 🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶
"Libera me"
Pésima dicción del tenor, no estudió ni practicó en profundidad el latín, el resultado es una desagradable mezcla entre un acento inglés y una fonética italiana, una cosa muy extraña y desagradable al oído.

True but Verrett and Abbado are outstanding
Paolo Bigi agree
I totally enjoyed Verrett! Love her on this besides Leontyne Price. The mezzo I enjoyed as well! The men needed a day of rest and probably dranked some bourbon the previous night which is no Bruno! Overall it went well at least and the choir, yes, yes and yes!
@@zhamiram6578 I think it's one or the last cities of a long tour. They are tired.
My favorite also with la Scala and Abbado is with Montserrat Caballé. In candescently beautiful.
Ghiaurov is terrible in Confutatis.
Nicolaj Ghiaurov could not act or sing at this concert ...
.......????????..
?????
Many places were just too slow (for all singers) on this evening...
You need to act a Requiem mass?
Since when is acting necessary for any mass?
Sorry but this is so slow! Soloists have to take unnecessary breaths! It doesn’t add any value! Great soloists at that
