One of the brightest phenomena in the realm of belcanto.......2006-04-05
Born in 1893 in Aragon, Spain, in a humble srurroundings. In his youth he was a shepherd, later he worked in a factory. Finally, his vocal talent was discovered and he was awarded a scholarship to the Barcelona Conservatory.
Fleta made his debut in 1919 at the Civic Theater in Trieste. After several years of extremely successful activity in Italy and Spain, he was called upon to join New York's Metropolitan Opera Company where he made his debut in 1922 in the rô^le of Cavaradossi. The virtuosity of his voice-control and his superb vocal-technique brought about his recognition as The Lord High Keeper...

Customer Reviews:
A GREAT SINGER-Underapprciated.......2006-07-13
The reviewer from Australia is quite right. Ms. Austral had a large warm voice with a great top register and wonderful musicality in music from Mozart through Verdi to Wagner and songs. Her High C at the end of the Gotterdamerung is defiantly easy, some other great Wgnerian sopranos either avoid the note or have a rough time with it. It is though she opens her mouth and the note appears- no slipping and sliding to it.
No better version of the Oberon aria has passed my ears. The Inflammtus will give you goose bumps. The songs are sung with great sensitivity and line.
ANOTHER GREAT AUSSIE SINGER
"One of the wonder voices of the World" (Nellie Melba).......2003-06-05
Melba recognised the greatness of Australia's prima dramatic soprano of the 1920's and 1930's whose career was cut short by MS. Sutherland also was inspired by Austral before she became a singer. She has been denied the fame she should have had, as proven by her recordings. She was more than favourably compared with Frida Leider, with whom she shared Brunnhilde on the first complete recording of The Ring, and Kirsten Flagstad.
Listen to her "Ocean thou mighty monster" with its great plunge downwards which other sopranos fudge. The Inflammatus has a driving energy and high notes which make your hair stand on end. Austral also sang less dramatic music, with fine legato.
A soprano who should have been an international star.
