Magnificent! Arkhipova is the prima assoluta in this repertoire! Although with a different kind of voice, she equals Kirsten Flagstad in dramatic power - and vocal longevity!
Goodness gracious! She is 63 here and listen to how steady her voice is. She made her Met debut 7 or 8 years after this concert as Filipyevna in Eugene Onegin. We sometimes forget how BEAUTIFUL this voice was! She wiped out all competition when she sang the Marina/Dmitri duet from Boris. God bless you dear Irina. I wish you many more years of health and happiness.
Una Esplendida Artista, Una Gran Cantante. Su Fama Era Real, como real, era
su Rango de Gran Personalidad y de Altisima Gran Jerarquia, dentro, de los
mas Grandes Cantantes Liricos.

She is something special, along with Ferrier, Klose, Sinevskaya, Irina belongs to the top 5.
