@LacrimaLunaMortua I've always loved this piece, it haunts me like a benign spirit.

@hypnosimos No Problem! This song single-handedly brought me to love Opera. And Mildred Pierce was an amazing Mini-Series. It's a great book too :) xXx

@Chutson353 I agree; I would rather listen to her performance of this aria than anyone else's.

@oliban78 This song is in the show Mildred Pierce. It's the first time Mildred hears Veda's voice on the radio. Amazing!
As a general rule I don't think Pons was the best coluratura (as compared to, say, Tetrazzini, Galli-Curci, Battle etc.) but I do think that her interpretation of this piece IS the best - how that works out I don't know but that's my opinion and I'm stickin' to it.

oh. my.gosh! that's amazing! I'm a singer, so i know how hard this song is. she skips all over the place and her voice doesn't break between registers once. she really sounds like a bell. i'm still in awe. 0_0
