)Well, now you're talking. I don't need to close my eyes, and on top of that, there is no need to transpose down the music either. 
No, but you have to tap your ears - pieta', pieta'! She could only get away with that because she was Callas...hectorm wrote:I don't need to close my eyes
However, she could sing beautifully, so beautifully, as well: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rnkhtjpZ ... re=related
Incredible that it's the same piece from the same voice!
I think this is a feature of the genius, I have noticed it in actors, too: GOOD actors or singers work hard, keep a constant quality of their performance and are able to sustain it at the same level from beginning to end; bravo to them, admirable. A GENIUS performer, however, lacks that consistency, they will perform poorly most of the time, they would have lots of bad days, they would make unacceptable mistakes - but, BUT!... they will have a few SUBLIME moments, sending shivers down your spine or leaving you breathless, of which the GOOD performer is not capable. And for that, we can forgive anything.
Some more good advice from Bartoli: "Leave the thorn, take the rose!"
OK, cover your eyes... here goes the rose, thorns and all: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A1Pbhc68YeM

Or, while speaking of roses - take the horn, like the nightingale did...

Ah...Lucia Popp. What a lieder singer! Thank you, Costi.
IMO she is as close to perfection as it is possible in this world.
Would you include her in your list of "consistent" performing artists or in the "genius" performers?
For me she's "consistently sublime".

I am most happy to agree, hectorm... consistently sublime - the third kind

Evening, a rosy, slow and transparent cloud
Over the space dreamy and beautiful
The Moon sweetly appears in the horizon,
Decorating the afternoon like a nice damsel
Who rushes and dreamy adorns herself
With an anxious soul to become beautiful
Shout all Nature to the Sky and to the Earth!
All birds become silent to the Moon's complains
And the Sea reflects its great splendor
Softly, the shining Moon just awakes
The cruel missing that laughs and cries
Evening, a rosy, slow and transparent cloud
Over the space dreamy and beautiful
Evening, a rosy, slow and transparent cloud
Over the space dreamy and beautiful
The Moon sweetly appears in the horizon,
Decorating the afternoon like a nice damsel
Who rushes and dreamy adorns herself
With an anxious soul to become beautiful
Shout all Nature to the Sky and to the Earth!
All birds become silent to the Moon's complains
And the Sea reflects its great splendor
Softly, the shining Moon just awakes
The cruel missing that laughs and cries
Evening, a rosy, slow and transparent cloud
Over the space dreamy and beautiful

Da anni sono qui
For years I've been here
incatenato a questa scrivania
chained to this desk
mentre laggiù, oltre la nebbia,
while down there, beyond the fog
si allarga l'orizzonte, e sono qui.
the horizon widens, and I am here.
Non è festa, però
It's not a national holiday, but
in ufficio non andrò.
I won't go to the office.
Ogni giorno sempre li,
Always there everyday
ma perchè, ah, ma per chi.
but why, for whom?
Stamattina non mi va,
This morning I am in a bad mood
voglio dare un calcio a tutta la cittá.
I want to give a kick to the whole city
Amore mio, vieni anche tu,
Love of mine, come along you too
il capufficio lasciamolo su.
Let's leave the head of the office up.
Lasciamolo su.
Let's leave him up [in the air].
Che hanno fatto di me,
What have they done out of me
sono un semplice lacchè
I am just a lackey
che da anni dice si,
that for years and years has been saying "yes"
sempre si, si sono qui.
always yes, yes I am here.
Stamattina nei polmoni
This morning, in my lungs
no, non voglio l'aria dei termosifoni.
no, I don't want the air coming from the radiators
Amore mio, vieni anche tu,
Love of mine, come along you too
il capufficio lasciamolo su.
Let's leave the head of the office up.
Lasciamolo su.
Let's leave him up
La campagna dov'è,
Where's the countryside
voglio il verde intorno a me,
I want the greenery around me
il profumo della sera
the scent of the evening
quando torna primavera.
when spring comes again.
Questa volta faccio senza
This time I'll do without
della pastasciutta stanca della mensa.
the old pasta from the canteen
Amore mio, vieni anche tu,
Love of mine, come along you too
il capufficio lasciamolo su.
Let's leave the head of the office up.
Lasciamolo su.
Let's leave him up
Ma che facciamo,
But what do we do
ma dove andiamo tutti incolonnati
where do we go all standing in line
in queste nostre maledette macchinette.
in [front of] these damned machines of ours.
Oggi c'è il sole.
Today the sun is up.
Non lo timbrate il cartellino,
Don't clock in (don't stamp the time sheet)
non la firmate la presenza.
don't sign in (don't sign the presence sheet)
Ma da quanti anni
But for how many years now
non vi arrampicate su un albero.
Haven't you climbed on a tree?
Tutti in campagna
Everybody at the countryside
a cogliere margherite.
picking up dasies.
Libertà, libertá.
Freedom, freedom.
Libertà.
Freedom.
La la la la la la la......
