Beverly Sills - 'Prendi, per me sei libero' - 1968

[MrAndredekock]

The Sills recording I have of L'elisir d'amore is an older voice than this and although beautiful, it doesn't quite compare to this stunning recording. This really does win hands down, as Beau Tenor said below a year ago. I thought I had everything there is of her, but it appears I don't and I will have to search. Thanks so much for uploading this. Grazie.

This is so first rate. I own this recording and there's no other like it. My fave rendition of this aria hands down.

Could you please tell me from which recording this exquisite performance is taken? Sills never ceases to take my breath away. She was a simply amazing artist!

It's a live recording from Cologne, 1968. I found it a long time ago on an Arkadia disc....GI 804.1 It also includes an INCREDIBLE rendition of Lucia's Mad Scene from Paris 1971.
