you call that singing???? *I* sang this so much better. i could sing the countess, susanna, marcellina, barbarina and cherubino all by myself in the same performance. and better than all these ullulating cows… just ask captain haddock.
Hey, hands off Tozzi. He is a wonderful Figaro.
and hands off della casa and gueden
I had never heard Resnik sing Mozart. Thanks Cieca for the treat.
i heard nothing but guys talking hungarian….oh well, here is our version
Sweetheart, act one os over and for some reason they are going on and on and on and on instead pf playing act 2.
OMG I hope you didn’t hit anyone!
Youtube sensation.
You just mde my day. Thank you!
Ah, that’s Elizabeth Caballero! No wonder she’s so damn good…gorgeous voice. Wenarto, you hang out with some fine company.
OK, here we go with act 2. After an eternity and a half
As if La Cieca weren’t enough of a sage and a delight in every way… Thanks so much for this tip! This broadcast is totally counteracting the miserable weather and giving me something lovely to do without having to venture out. I wouldn’t have known about it if I hadn’t seen your post. You rock.

Within the context of this cast Resnik is perfectly placed as Marcellina
