GENCER, Leyla, Norma
Leyla GENCER, Turkish soprano (1928-2008).
A refined, instinctive and intese soprano whose répertoire was immense, tackling ancient music, melody, lyric, dramatic and verismo roles. Here portrayed as Norma, a role in which she conveyed great intensity and pathos, despite a rather diminutive sound ... A noted recitalist and a beloved artistic figure in Milan where she lived lavishly.
