This review is from: Verdi: La Traviata (Highlights) (Audio CD)
The previous reviewer is such a Moffo groupie that she can't see past her prejudices. First, Anna Moffo was not robbed. She had a long and glorious career and well deserved fame. Her performancesof Violetta are among the greatest on record.However, Callas and Sutherland do hold the palm for this role. Callas' great dramatic interpretation and Sutherland's glorious golden voice simply cannot be bested by any other artist, no matter how great, and Moffo was great. So Joan and Maria get five stars and Anna gets four. And the remark about "the opera buffs-a bunch of queens". THAT is a totally biased and totally uncalled for comment. SHAME ON YOU!

She could have done it!!!,
By Mary (Texas) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Verdi: La Traviata (Highlights) (Audio CD)
She had the golden voice, the acting ability, the looks of a movie star...why did she failed? Think she was robbed. If Sutherland and Callas did not show up, she would have been the Queen of Opera, bar none. She can sing Sonnambula, Traviata, any of Puccini's heroines, and she had the voice, the most gorgeous face and figure of all opera singers, bar none, and she did have the top notes also, to F altissimo, though her voice is perhaps not as gorgeous as Sutherland's, but who does? But she never quite got there , due to the snob fans...you know how the opera buffs are, they are all a bunch of queens... You have to check out her Violetta and her Lucia although, it's is the compromise between the perfect voice of Sutherland and the heartbreak of Callas, brava, La Divina, in Violetta, Callas is Violetta, by far in this signature role I and all others think, BRAVA, BRAVA!!!!!. Why Moffo never achieved the legendary status I don't know, but maybe it is all in the press.
