Un timbre sympathique,même si la voix s'égare parfois,la faute à un vibrato un peu aléatoire;il en ressort néanmoins une fraîcheur et une spontanéité...
Ah This is the version of this aria that most melts my heart!. I love the Grace Moore,Steber, Tebaldi, Price and Battle versions of this aria but Maynor just nails this young girls passsion and abbandon in love . It is sung so well and so sincerely.This is a gorgeous recording and a stellar artist
Her voice and version are the closest to the original intent of this aria. She doesn't come on with the big guns so to speak but a simple and tender emotion, straight from the heart, and we feel it too. Many thanks for posting this of Dorothy Maynor. I can't recall hearing her before. So glad to know of this recording.
J'ai connu Mme Maynor sur Cd en 2001 depuis ce temps elle est ma préféré ! Merci de me la faire découvrir en francais ! Elle me fait pensé a un oiseau qui chante ! oufff Merci Beaucoup Dieu vous bénisse !
I saw Maynor in 1949 at the Robinhood Dell in Philadelphia. She sang Hear Ye, Israel, and this 16-year-old music student was overwhelmed by her. It wasn't just the beauty of her voice but the nobility and purity she projected. She made a lifelong impression on me.
I wish someone would post Miss Maynor's recording of "Song to the Moon" from the Dvorak opera Rusalka. It's a stunningly beautiful performance. I wish it had used in motion picture Driving Miss Daisy instead of the one they did use. The thought occurred to me as I watched the movie (the first time). It would have been poignantly appropriate. Renee Fleming made the same point in her book.

Ms Maynor's voice and story make you cry. A terrible shame she didn't have the career she could have due to predjudice.
