  • Babs was tha shiznit, her coloratura is fantastic and so accurate.

  • Sounds like she just backed away from the note for a sec!! But, geez...give her a break!! I would like to see 1/2 of the people critiquing her do that as flawlessly as she did!!

  • A MELHOR DE TODAS!!!!

  • @fourniturev Yeah, but clearly YOU COULDN'T!!

  • @SouthernBethany I feel like that might be the audio cutting out for a sec

  • @Republicrat74 Pardon me sir! Beverly Sills did indeed record "Ernani, involvami"!Aldo Ceccato conducted. Its from an unfinished recording of Verdi aria but these were released in the 1980's by EMI on Beverly Sills sings Verdi CDC - 7 47383 2.You can by it used on Amazon. BTW all those Verdi arias were recylced a dozen times on various DG compilations.These are not RARE by any means. BTW I wish the Moffo Verdi recital were released on CD.Maybe TESTAMENT from the UK who have released other Moffo

  • @MastersoftheOpera Baby Doe was premiered with Dolores Wilson. When it was brought to the NY City Opera, Beverly got the role. IT WAS NOT WRITTEN FOR BEVERLY!

  • perfect, yet not so perfect.

  • THis is in a higher key isn't it.....It sound a lot higher than what I am used to hearing sopranos do today

  • @songsofscarlet How i wish i could have made her millions on such a flawed technique

  • Unfortunately there is no recording of Ms Sills singing the very challenging aria "Involami" from the opera Ernani, which she sang on German Radio in the early 1970's. I friend of mine made a tape recording of the transcription as she was being interviewed on FM Radio in NYC, and sent a copy to me which I love. The closest thing to Sills singing Involami which you can find on You Tube is from a recording as sung by the young Anna Moffo.

  • I can't believe all of the arm-chair critics who set themselves up as vocal or operatic experts. Why can't people just enjoy the beauty of her voice, the excitement of the moment, and let the little bauble at the end be just that? She went on to sing for many, many years and sang lots of brilliant performances after that. Sometimes the internet is a dangerous thing...
