i just wanna know whose idea it was to cast Cossotto in mezzo roles when she sounds lighter than most of her contemporary spinto sopranos.
peace and love but using your chest voice doesn't automatically make you a mezzo <33333
#brought to you by: im listening to that don carlo recording with bastianini (duh) and stella and. indeed. cossotto#and next to stella cossotto literally sounds like a soubrette#and this is always my issue with her.#whenever she's an azucena she sounds lighter than the leonora. her amneris is ligter than aida. etc etc#to be fair i dont think she was a bad singer. i actually think she was quite good but for the love of god she was a lyric soprano#a spinto at best but imo that's a stretch#honestly stella should have sung eboli in that recording#anyway it sucks. the conductor is on drugs and i could strangle him with my bare hands.#and they're cutting SO MUCH. not only io vengo a domandar or carlo ch'é sol because that ive come to expect from older recordings#they literally cut the giustizia giustizia sire scene??!???!?!????! ridiculous#and i swear to god there is no per me giunto in that recording. yes you read that right. NO PER ME GIUNTO.#maybe it's just. somehow spotify's fault??? maybe it was there in the original and spotify just fucking forgot to put it there#because it is hard for me to believe the conductor would make such a stupid fucking choice#but it literally goes straight from 'convien qui dirci addio. o mio carlo....' to 'che parli tu di morte?'#which is RIDICULOUS because he says nothing about dying in the recitative before the aria?????? hello?????#so yes i hate that recording with a passion even though it's Stella's only recorded elisabetta. but. with love. she kinda sucks here too#anyway 3/10 (because bastianini. and the tenor is nice. it would be 0/10 otherwise) dont recommend. it sucks.#opera tag#anyway. cossotto. you're not a mezzo. stop pissing me off.#it's great that you use your chest voice. you get a star from me. but it's just not enough sweetheart.#also i read somewhere that she was a real bitch to her colleagues on stage so. no hard feelings but yeah i dont fucking like her lol
