@andreernestgretry You are quite right! It is such a pity that the American public took such a long time to finally acknowledge Beverly's spectacular talent. thank goodness we have some wonderful live recordings of her early days to enjoy! Great comment thank you.

Beverly sills andò incontro ad un'innegabile declino a partire dal 1974, a causa dei ruoli forse un po' pesanti per la sua voce (si pensi, ad esempio, ad Anna Bolena ed Elisabetta nel Devereux). Qualcuno sostiene anche che cantasse con i centri un po' aperti. C'è da tenere conto che la Sills divenne famosa a livello internazionale solo nel '69, molto dopo i suoi inizi. CI siamo persi forse gli anni migliori, a livello di registrazioni, come, in fondo, testimonia questo audio.

@leprincebeaumont Mah, veramente capisco benissimo. Il declino di cui tu parli io non lo vedo.
She is still the best Elvira ever! I wish I could have sung Riccardo opposite her!

@petelovesbevsills Lol Pete! Thank you that is a very sweet thing to say even though you've never heard me sing! (A BIG smile).

@MrAndredekock Ah! Andre. I know that anyone who had a mediocre voice would NEVER have wished to have sung with our Beverly. See? Big smile back to you!! ( Strange to think she only sang with one South African....you'd have been number 2 !!) ;-)

@petelovesbevsills Yes Christo du Plessis is about 8 years older than me and was recorded on one of the 3 Queens, but I don't recall which one. What a waste of a glorious bass voice as he stopped singing and went more into the antiques trade.

@MrAndredekock I agree Andre! It was Maria Stuarda that he recorded with our Beverly!
