Shirley Verrett "D'ici je vois la mer" L'africaine

[27846545]

Meyerbeer goes beyond the close form of "aria" with this final of L'Africaine. Shirley Verret is superb. One of the most great singers of all time.

I remember being amazed by her in the PBS telecast of "L'Africaine" from San Francisco Opera in the late 80s. Loves me some Meyerbeer and some Verrett!

What a fantastic tone. Varied, rich and beautiful in texture and tone. Where have the voices like these gone?
