I was in the Ataturk Kultur Merkezi one day after she died....and they had a big ceremony.I watched AIDA on that day.Wow...everybody was crying...It was so touching...and I cried too when I watched these video clips ...-_-She was a great prima donna and a legend in the classic history of this century I think.My mommy is also a soprano singer...so I know.She was one of the leading world class singers and the pride of Turkey.

How I wish someone would take on a full length English biography of this immortal diva, ma invano io spero. Even a translation of the Italian biography in a new edition- Speranza dolce ancora, io non t'abbandono - forgive my poor Italian

Ebben, se tu te ne vai, dove andremo noi, poveri ascoltatori delusi del paesaggio dell'opera attuale... siamo una volta di più orfani di voce... Grazie ancora a te, Leyla per aver cantato la verità contro il sistema delle immagini false fatte di pubblicità e di soldi ! Addio... del presente...

This woman has been one of the best sopranos who ever have recorded! Great! Not like this boring singers today who are only officegirls in tone and technique! BRAVA! Thank you!

In case you curius about the words, a very short synopsis of the aria follows: Here the heroine wishes there was a way for her not to leave her village and stay there for ever. And it seems that the Dear God heard her prayers, because in the very next scene she is sent an avalanche to through herself in :o)

What great singing, with such beauty and character.. and her pianissimos.. And considering that almost all her recordings are live! Viva Leyla!

Je regrette de ne pas comprendre le Turc, mais je suppose que tous ces commentaires sont fantastiques. Leyla a été une unique cantatrice, pour la couleur de sa voix et ses interprétations.

Boyle sanatci dunyaya cok az gelir. Eger mütikten anlayan varsa dikkatli dinlesin. Oyle aptalca yorum yapmasinlar. Ilk önce müzik tahsilini gelistirsinler de ondan sonra tartisamaya girsinler. Leyla Gencer Türkiye icin cok bügük bir kayiptir.

işte zaten leyla gencer ve onun gibilerin farkı burada,onları gazeteden tvden öğrenemezsin.orada mankenleri öğrenirsin.ama bu senin suçun değil,kültüre değer vermeyen toplumun ve bu toplumu eğitemeyen devletin suçu.
