Utter perfection! Not only is the voice beyond splendid, but the phrasing and musical accuracy are a model for other sopranos who use this aria as a showcase and destroy the music in the process.

If she had never sung another note, this rendition would cement her reputation as having one of the most beautiful voices of her generation of singers. No one has ever sung this aria any better.

Her voice is gorgeous, no one else had such a consistently angelic, lush, joyous, glamorous and serene quality to their voice in the 1980s as Dame Kiri. It’s less dramatic or grand than some other voices but when it came to Puccini or Mozart, no one could match her for pure honey-infused wonderfullness

Yes, thank you, I knew that. The movie opens with "O mio babbino caro" from Puccini's "Gianni Schicchi", and the score is sprinkled with Puccini and generous helpings of Victor Herbert as well, both of whom were active during the time of the story.

I agree with TenorTalker… Her very best performance of this. Not many people seem to perform this one - I wonder why with all these continuous long high notes!. I saw Angela Gheorgieu in La Rondine in London many years ago, but few people seem to do this now. The opera itself is middle of the road. Wonderful Kiri!

@Prinz Eugen, I guess You are not italian, are You? You made a mistake in the lyrics: "Come mai finì" has an accent mark over the last "i" in the word "finì". "finì" with the accent mark means "it finished", "it ended" while "fini" without it may mean "the goals" and so on. Please, correct it for sake of accuracy REFERENCE: www.wordreference.com/

I know he’s supposed to be one of the greatest bases of all time, but every time I listen to him, I think he has such a weird voice. He does all this strange stuff that no other bass singers do. And he did not have really good notes. Listen to Siepi and Ghiaurov if you want to hear a really great basses singing this aria.
