IN MY WHOLE LIFE, I HAVE LOVED MANY GREAT SOPRANOS AS A FAN. IT MATTERS LITTLE BY CRITERIA ONE COMPARES ONE WITH ANOTHER. I LOVED THE VOICE OF GALLI-CURCI AND OF LILY PONS OF MADO ROBAN AND LUISA TETRAZZINI AND CERTAINLY JOAN SUTHERLAND, BUT THERE WAS SOMETHING SO AMERICAN AND SPECIAL ABOUT BEVERLY SILLS, NOT ONLY AS A SINGER BUT AS A PERSON. I SIMPLY LOVE HER VOICE.

I didn't know she played the piano... wow.
She is amazing, indeed! IS not WAS- we're still hearing her sing, aren't we? Her musicianship remains with us.

Oh wow, I just love her voice so much. I could listen to her recordings all day long and never tire of them. <3!

This performance was magnificent in every way: a great aria sung by a great singer. It was technically and artistically beautiful. I think this vid was from a TV special Bubbles did in the 1970's. Also this opera is rarely performed which is a terrible shame. I saw it a few years ago at NYC Opera with Elizabeth Futral and Mark Delevan, and it was terrific.

Do you notice how she doesn't have any of the usual singer mannerisms? Her body is so calm. She's telling us a little story. Her voice does all the work and her body can relax. She just has to stand there and sing pretty; but somehow, her voice and singing is immensely interpretive. And I really respect how she doesn't need to scoop these big intervals. Her legato's just perfect -- thanks to her amazing, AMAZING breath control!

Beverly Sills with her god-given voice was
such a joy to hear, and Baby Doe belongs to her. Who else combined their love of singing so passionately with their love of the audience? She gave us so much of herself-- a treasure we will always cherish.
