Jul 12, 2008 - Question: is this the famous performance of the aria Sayao made early in her career with the elaborate cadenza (in the middle), or was that an earlier recording? It seems to me the ornamentation was different and longer. In any case, a very personal, idiosyncratic performance but a beautiful one. Sayao and Pons, who were contemporaries and friends, respected each other's repertoire, rarely overlapping (in Il Barbiere). Sayao stated she would have lost if she had competed with Pons in coloratura.

Jul 12, 2008 - Continued--And Pons had the same feeling, preferring to leave the French lyrical role of Melisande to Sayao (as well as Manon).
