Beverly Sills - 1977- Let the Bright Seraphim

[inf1nity]

Bb Doc? Come on!

[kistrombitas]

Brave trumpet player.... :D

[Urcheon]

I love how she just beams while singing.  So beautiful!

[MastersoftheOpera]

Brava Beverly! This Baroque aria was a favorite of many sopranos like Kiri Te Kanawa who sang it @Princess Diana's wedding, Kathleen Battle and in Sill's own time - Joan Sutherland . Sills sings it with a bright gleam and child like excitement. Note how shealso looks with curiosity at the trumpet player before singing. Any other soprano (even today) would not turn back to look at the musician. She has a professional, beautiful warm down-to-earth glow. Shame she doesnt sing the WHOLE ARIA

La Prima Stupenda! BRAVA, Miss Sills!!!! And now, the angels REALLY sing!!

[MandyJMaddison]

Oh this is just great fun!

[Laramie1224]

She is adorable and amazing!!

[songbirdwatcher]

Even with the voice starting to fray and wobble here, she could move it so fast and with such dexterity. And she had her own glorious style. She had concert gowns made with pockets in the front, or asked designers add them, so she had some place to put her hands! Too funny.

[kangadillo]

Now she sings with the angels.

Why Doc picked a Bb trumpet, the world will never know.

[AmericanEvita]

Beverly Sills was a wonderful human being and singer! She got me into opera! I love how humble she is..notice how she looks at the trumpet player first! Love this...I'm glad Beverly Sills "lives" on Youtube, because she is no longer among the living here on earth...if only she could somehow see her youtube videos from heaven!

Dear Bubbles, how could anyone not love you! Rest in peace!!

[7inga7]

Dear Bubbles, who cannot love you?! Brava!

[leoperarm]

for some reason, I hate the trumpetist, but the final result was very good!

[Houndentenor1998]

Simply the best!!!

[castodivo]

NO ONE sings like her! She just waltzes out there and sings with such joy and bounciness. She's just care-free and happy to be doing this. I just love her whole attitude. She has the technique, she's been doing this for years and years, she no longer has anything to prove. It's like, she's done all the work and practice and now she just gets to sit back and what will be will be. And what was -- was wonderful!

[DivaDeb1234]

This looks like Johnny Carson show..!

She is so good at what she does!

[SerbianSoprano]

Godess of bel canto!!!!!

[Xerexda]

is she singing opera ... so effortless and cheerful

[AleRoma1968]

I love her! She was a real great opera singer. Not just a false diva. I miss her so much.

[boomchuckaboom]

Joy! Thanks for posting!

[Iareto]

Brava!! What a wonderful singer!

[RossiniSoprano]

Thank you, thank you, thank you for posting this!!! I didn't know she even sang this. I wish I had heard this before I sang it last Friday night! :-)

[TreblesBasses]

AWESOME BEVERLY!

[skippycarol]

Boy, I miss her! She had so much fun, didn't she? And brought everyone into the fun with her. And, unless I'm sorely mistaken, that's Doc Severinson on the trumpet?!?! Who knew he could play like that?

[beverlycat]

Thank you!  Lovely.

[petelovesbevsills]

Is there ANYONE who can be as professional and talented as Beloved Beverly? No, I don't think so, she is without doubt, the Incomparable Prima donna assoluta supremo! Amen!

[fourniturev]

wonderful as always!

[MusicalArtists]

Wonderful! And on late night television. You don't see that these days.
