Also, I think Luciano had the clearest voice of the three.

Marilyn Horne is using the same techinque as Joan Sutherland is. The Bel Canto techinque. The problem may be that Joan Sutherland was known to not be as clear in her phrasing of the words themselves and that her voice is so immense - being a dramatic coloratura soprano. While Marilyn Horne was, ironically, formerly a soprano whose voice slipped naturally into a mezzo-soprano range.

I feel like Horne has the best technique out of the 3 lol. Definitely better than Sutherland.

My attitude--IT's ALL GOOD!!!!!!!!!The "compare and contrast" crowd who put down one to elevate the other are timewasters. You need a variety of voices and styles IN ORDER TO COMPARE. If they were all the same, it would be very dull indeed, and, well, SUCK. It's ALL GOOD, again I say!

it's meaningless to compare Callas and Sutherland, both had magnificent voices and had won the world wide reputation!

sometimes i wonder what you people are listening to, when you hear this music. belcanto-bellini,is a period approach to opera for the well heeled afficianato. it can only be judged on a personal level, with your whole soul involved in the totality of the experience. spoken by a musician who has sat in the pit for years, and experienced it all "live" many times...just enjoy bellini for what it is...belcanto...

sorry your right, u did say Onassis. May I'm the one who is a bit dramatic, yes. :p

I never said she was EXTREMELY famous before Meneghini I said she was extremely famous before Onassis. ;)

oh please that's a bit dramatic don't you think. She was not "extremely famous" before she met Meneghini. She met her future husband in Italy after leaving New York because it was so loaded with singers from Italy at that time the competition was so heavy she couldn't get consistant work. I do agree that her voice was incredible, at least to my ears but, her technique was always suspect among classical purest.

Callas was extremely famous far before she even met Onassis, learn your facts- she was famous for her booming high soprano voice. The strength of a lower voice with the range of a higher voice. |
