Angela Gheorghiu - `Pace. pace. mio Dio`(Act IV) from La forza del destino video free download

Lola Salasian

PACE, PACE, MIO DIO   Aria de Leonora, de la ópera LA FUERZA DEL DESTINO, de GIUSEPPE VERDI (Italia,1813-1901, basada en el drama de Ángel de Saavedra, Don Alvaro o la fuerza del sino. En esta obra destaca la orquestación sobre obras precedentes de Verdi, la buena caracterización de los personajes y la configuración de un nuevo estilo. En pleno apogeo del canto di bravura, todavía hay en ella ecos del belcantismo, con números memorables.   La forza del destino tuvo fama de "gafe" ya que su composición y estreno estuvieron marcadas por las desgracias y los contratiempos... Angela Gheorghiu... excelente

Her stance bothers me. It calls attention to itself because with her hands down at her hips rather continuously, she looks stiff. Anything which calls attention to itself and distracts from the singing is a no-no. Vocally very good, but she doesn't move into the realm of great for me.

superbe performance, i loved how she could act the words she was singing, truly amazing.. i saw her years ago at la scala when she was playing violetta, i think her performance was superior to diana damrau's, diana (in my opinion) lacks personality and her acting is terrible sometimes, i wanted to go see her in lucia but i don't think i will, callas ruined it for me and now i can't stand anyone else performing it

Esto tal vez no resuelva nada en México, pero es muy catártico.LA FORZA DEL DESTINO. Así parece gritar y cantar la vida misma.

The "final maledizione" y'all keep referring to is not in the score... just wanted to point that out. Somehow it has become performance practice - Callas is the first I can think of who did it with a 5th repetition of the word. Hate to break it to y'all, but the ending sung here is what Verdi actually wrote...

the comments here are hilarious to say the least but I guess we are all entitled to our opinions. I actually love Angelas tone and diction. Didnt like however how she left out the final maledizione...be that as it may, the queen of this aria, and many others will always be Leontyne Price. Her diction, control, tone and quality of sound are unsurpassed. And that my friends...is fact! ;)
