Shirley Verrett "Ave Maria" Otello

[julianabenvenutti]

Magnífica!!!!!

[intelegentable]

There are singers and then there are singers of greatness who defy categorization and labels Madam Verrett was one of the latter. Those who insist she was a Mezzo can do so but she sang very successfully the Soprano repertoire and excelled artistically as Norma, Lady MacBeth, Tosca,no easy roles to essay. Let the work she did speak for her.

This is amazing!

I love her voice!

I can't get past her nails? What is up with this?

Is it just on my screen or are her nails scary?

Sublime! I love Shirley Verrett's pianissimo at the end, such pure beauty. Renee, Kiri, Verrett, all have something special to lend to this aria.
