One of her many trademarks. She was, from a very young age, truly a living legend. She knew how to live like a star, ultra-glamorous, exotic but never aloof or cold. She was warm, witty and could be both funny and saucy. She had the voice, she had the face, she had the body as a child Beverly SIlls pointed out to her mother, she had the belly button!
Yes! Lakme belongs to Lily Pons!! During her time she was in competition with Enrico Caruso and made more money than he. She was also a brilliant pianist as was Galli Curci, another great coloratura who retired her career just before Lily Pons.
Lily was one of the most talented and powerful coloraturas of all time. Her long career with the Met and lots of other performance endeared her to all of us. Rest in peace, angel.
Gràce à un commentaire d ' une autre chanteuse de cet air sur you tube j'ai découvert LilyPons et je suis émerveillée par son aisance vocale et sa beauté. Trop beau trop émouvant de revoir ces images du passé déjà mais où l on se rend compte qu il devait y avoir des spectacles extraordinaires et éblouissants qui n ont rien à envier à ceux de maintenant.
Great!!!! coloratura at its best!!! and what a lovely physic...looks like a star not reachable for any of the actual sopranos (I mean all of the actual ones!!!).Bravaaaaa!!!!!!!!!
Thanks for posting I haven't heard this recording for almost forty years. It sounds almost perdect, I had forgotten what a wonderful voice miss pons had. Again thank you.

The impressarios today should learn to listen to the sound of a female voice rather
than force sopranos to bellow with hooty "generic" tones which is totally against nature.

She sounds like this song was written just for her. I have heard it sang by others, but decidedly not like this. What a voice!

I'vd heard other recordings of Lily Pons and she was not the best but in roles such as Lakme she excelled with her light, lovely coloratura

If you can get the full version up, I'll take this one off. It's a very good print, if you can get the same.
