Remarkable!!

Shirley Verrett was a true great in my book. A favorite for a long time. Musical and technically flawless, warm and agile. I had the privilege of hearing her live at the Met when she sang with Beverly Sills in The Siege of Corinth by Rossini ... and I thought Shirley stole the show ... she was so solid. Thanks for sharing these recordings!

One of the best singers ever from the USA.

@robertdonkers No, one of the best singers ever from anywhere!! One of the very, very rare truly great singers.

without equal in some roles--- especially her scorching Lady Macbeth and Eboli. I love the way she looked in the Dalilah referenced above. None of the usual Hollywood/Ten Commandments campy silver lame dress, wigs and cartoon makeup. Her own short hair, looking like a goddess. Magnificent.

@kenavo2103 But in terms of quality of voice Verrett was superior.
