The "Una voce poco fa" Contest - Anna Moffo
Uploaded by: LindoroRossini
Video Description:
Not many arias become legendary: "Di quella pira", "Largo al factorium", "Sempre libera", "La donna e mobile", "Laschia ch'io pianga" are only a few examples. Rossini's most famous piece for the human voice surely was "Una voce poco fa". The great "divalegacy.com" website lists about 30 versions of the aria, but the list goes on forever, so famous the song has become. Recently I have checked my opera collection and found out that I have 20+ versions of the air, so I decided that it was high time I hosted a contest/survey. I give you ten renditions of the aria, and you, the viewer, vote (the system is quite simple: the marks range from 1 to 5; there are two categories: singing/characterization; so your mark (+ comment :-) ) should look like this: */*). First up is the stunning Anna Moffo.
P.S. I decided to put up only some of the renditions, I will try to download more versions in the next month.

it's just become my second favorite performance on "una voce poco fa", after Maria Callas La Divina of course!!!
I'm not saying that bad singing doesn't deserve criticism, and maybe the lower F would've sounded better... I just hate to see people rip apart great singers. I just can't stand it when everything turns into an "I know more about singing than you do" contest. Sorry if I sounded snotty before to you guys.
Qui nel cor mi risuonò;
Il mio cor ferito è già,
E lindor fu che il piagò.
Sì, lindoro mio sarà;
Lo giurai, la vincerò.
Il tutor ricuserà,
Io l'ingegno aguzzerò.
Alla fin s'accheterà
E contenta io resterò.
Lo giurai, la vincerò.
Io sono docile,
Son rispettosa,
Sono obbediente,
Dolce, amorosa;
Mi lascio reggere,
Mi fo guidar.
Ma se mi toccano
Dov'è il mio debole
Sarò una vipera
E cento trappole
Prima di cedere
Farò giocar.
