5.0 out of 5 stars Essential recital, May 21 2004
By Emma de Soleil "I moved to the UK for another... (On a holiday In Ibiza, then back to the UK for studies) - See all my reviews
Anna Moffo is one of my favourite sopranos and this early recital presents her very best moments ever. Led by the amazing Tullio Serafin Moffo delivers an absolutely incredible performance. Every aria is a jewel, absolutely gorgeous. La Bellissima indeed!

4.0 out of 5 stars Anna Moffo en un gran día., Aug 29 2003
By Annio (Spain) - See all my reviews
Nos encontramos ante un recital de la gran soprano Anna Moffo, grabado en directo en Roma en 1959. El primer punto destacable de este gran cd es el espléndido sonido del que hace gala: limpio, sin todes, sin ruídos de fondo... Se agradece.
Luego tenemos a Anna Moffo en una de sus noches gloriosas: una selección de arias (se hace algo corta, solo 45 minutos) bien pensada y muy bien interpretada (pierde la quinta estrella por su pinchazo en uno de los agudos del aria de 'Lakmé') en la que Moffo hace gala de una gran seguridad y limpieza en todo el registro. La orquesta titular del teatro acompaña muy bien a Moffo, en un registro económico que conviene tener en cualquier discoteca.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not quite as spectacular as Sutherland, nevertheless great, Jul 25 2003
By Dr. Harold (San Francisco, CA USA) - See all my reviews
I think that Moffo was the complete package on stage. With her beautiful voice, gorgeous face and figure she could have been the prima donna of her day. But she was unlucky. She was singing at the same time as Joan Sutherland. For that she could not be the greatest coloratura. She was singing at the same time as Caballe, so she could not be the greatest lyric soprano. But had she been born 30 years later, she would have been the greatest soprano in the world. Who else in today's opera world can compare to her? Renee Fleming is the only soprano I can think of. And between those two, I pick Moffo. At least when it comes to bel canto.
Her program is challenging and she pulls it off rather well. To compare her to Sutherland, the "Bel Raggio" is excellent, but not nearly as "dead on" as La Stupenda's. The "Bell Song" is not even close though. Moffo's high E just can't touch Sutherland's. But the "Shadow Song" is superb. It has a charm of its own that I prefer even to Sutherland's. The coloratura is accurate, even defined. And Moffo is much more comfortable with the high D in the Dinorah aria than she is with the E in the Lakme aria.
Nonetheless, she is a great soprano both vocally and technically. Certainly the most underrated soprano of our time. And this would have been an easy five star review had I not compare it with standard CD for coloratura singing, Sutherland's most stupendous recording... "The Art of the Prima Donna".

I'm not quite a fan of Anna Moffo but I recognize an excellent recital when I hear one, and this is of a great soprano in her absolute prime. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars At the top of her game
The so-called "beige album" was recorded near the start of Anna Moffo's career, and displays magnificently her beautifully milky lyric soprano. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars superb
Anna Moffo was one of the best (if not the best) lyric coloratura of her generation. She had a radiant, warm, sensual voice with a telling upper register and considerable agility... Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Lovely early Moffo
This is definitely a recording that will appeal to Anna Moffo fans, and a nice introduction for those unfamiliar with the deeply sensual beauty of her voice. Read more

3.0 out of 5 stars Different opinion
I disagree that Moffo is the combination of Sutherland and Callas. In fact, she has never been in the same league. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars A Combination of Callas and Sutherland
If you ever wanted the rich tonal qualities of Joan Sutherland coupled with the charcterisation and aching intensity of Maria Callas, then Anna Moffo is your singer. Read more

3.0 out of 5 stars Excellent performances
Anna Moffo had one of the loveliest soprano voices of this century. These arias from her long-overdue "Beige Album" are all performed excellently. Read more
