Synopsis

Amazon.com
This mother and daughter indulgence is most successful when singing folk duets from their native Spain. Their voices, two different cuts from the same vocal beef, blend magically, creating the unequalled pleasure of two singing as one. Caballe impresses with her delicacy and beauty during high, legato passages, and dramatic power everywhere else. Marti's vocal technique is solid, a pleasant and even sound when it's not occasionally bordering on edgy and grating. Her artistry is in its nascent stage, a little more charm and musicality is necessary to develop into a world class singer. A special treat is Caballe's rendition of "Dopo l'oscuro nembo," an earlier version of Bellini's "O quante volte," but every bit as beautiful and compelling. --Barbara Eisner Bayer

One of my favorite Caballe albums,Caballe duets with her dau
Viva Caballe | 12/23/2005
(5 out of 5 stars)

"I love this cd so much it brings me great joy.When Caballe recorded this digital album with her daughter she was 62.She still possessed the most beautiful soprano voice in the world,even though she had to sing easier music then.Montserrat Marti also has a beautiful voice and often sounds alot like Caballe.Ms.Marti performs a lovely O mio babbino caro.,with a superb pianissiamo.Caballe sings the most incredible O ma lyre immortelle-from Sapho I have ever heard.She sings it better than sopranos or mezzos half her age,with both frightening power and soft sweet singing,ending the aria with powerful and dramatic high notes.This aria is about contemplating death and is the heavest piece on the entire album.Most of the rest of the cd is made up of lighter music.Caballe has proven she can still sing well,and has also given her daughter alot of exposure,making this unique and beautiful album a real treasure."
