We have to remember that this, her only performance of the opera, was the same week she had sent her beloved son, Bucky, to a home for the mentally challenged for the rest of his life. This rendition of the aria drips pathos and heartfelt pain.
I don't think Miss Sills gets the recognition she deserves as one of our greatest sopranos of the twentieth century. Thank you for this rarity. It reveals Sills at her best ...always bringing true emotion to the character thru the color of the voice and thru the music.
