  • I love Bumbry as a mezzo but I'm sorry to say that she is bad in this one... Flat high notes, she just doesn't say the right words... It's a bit of a mess! Too bad she wanted to do the same thing as Verrett (i.e singing soprano roles) but without being really able of doing it

  • The times I heard her she seemed more at ease in the mezzo roles but I could be wrong.

  • @Sebastian740 She had successful careers both a s a mezzo and a soprano... in fact I think her soprano career was more successful than mezzo. At one point she played both Aida and Amneris and sang both roles. one for mezzo and the other for soprano and nailed them both.

  • Wow, great sound!

  • I'm so proud to say i met this man, and shook his hand. He is such a wonderful person.

  • Wonderful. The best Amonasro ever!

  • She sang a great EBOLI in DON CARLO.

  • She tried to be a soprano of which she was very ordinary. But as a mezzo she was great.

  • I don't really buy her as anything save Amneris. I think that was her greatest role...

  • @Sebastian740 Yes. He sang a wonderful Wotan as well as other heldenbaritone roles.
