She is so commanding in the recitative with intense chest tones. The casta diva is mesmerizing. Her coloraturas are dazzling and capped with a wonderful high C in Ah bello a me ritorna.

She was 52, wasn´t she? This is extraordinary. The way the last note resonates. Even the coloratura drowns the orchestra.

She perfectly navigates the high notes as always, but I really like her chest voice at 3:00 and 3:23 . I think in this performance she successfully struck a balance between legato and diction. 15:26 huge note by the way!!!

Completely agreed. Her diction sounds very clear here, but legato and fioritura are still paramount. I also like the fact that her voice sounds in excellent vocal shape from the ringing dramatic top to the low chest notes, including a middle voice that sounds thicker and more metallic, but not yet "worn out". Possibly one of her best recorded renditions of this scene, and to think she was 52 years old by this time and had been singing Norma more than 100 times for 15 years before this performance! It''s really impressive.

I really enjoy the 1978 voice - it has the traces of the youthful sound and also the darker more mature sound together in one voice. She was such a fascinating artist! Her trill ALONE makes her the greatest singer on the planet in my opinion! The coloratura passages are as always - perfect. The scale up to the high D and back always impresses me so much. She really was something.

Unfortunately italian wasn't her strong point as the legato was concerned... great voice thought.

Intriguing comment, I actually think her diction sounds remarkably clear and sharp in this performance in comparison with other performances of hers in this role and with your average Norma interpreter, too.
