Ms. Farrell was one of the greats. My gosh, what an incredible voice and stage presence that this woman had!! Unbelievably flexible register--no break in it! And it goes without saying--amazing breath control. She's a cross between Horne and Flagstad. To label Ms Farrell a mezzo would only be partly true--she had such incredible range and ringing tone. One is reminded of the term "Golden". Why wasn't she at the MET more often??

Absolutely glorious singing from one of the greatest American artists. As kraftpr has said- where is great music on TV now- commercial television has become a cesspool of trash- to think that the A&E channel- which stood for Arts and Entertainment is all "reality Crime" shows. And worse- but it will not improve unless the public demands it, and that is very unlikely.

goddess, I love the technique of her time, as well as her gorgeous voice. High and easy, no damaging push as too often now..
A joy to hear.
Thank you very much for the gift of this.

Amazingly, this is a color videotape from a *1959* broadcast!! Remarkable sharpness and clarity. And Ms. Farrell is a perfect interpreter for the Wagnerian. This aria is gorgeous!! Thank both NBC for "Bell Telephone," and vainmusic for putting this all on DVD!!

Whatever happened to this GLORIOUS programming on Commercial television stations? Corporate giants like Ma Bell & Firestone supported symphony orchestras and brought artists of this calibre into our homes! So sad what's become of television today. Aside from the handful of "Live From Lincoln Center" & "Live From the Met" productions, 95% or more of what's on the BOOB TUBE today is GARBAGE!! FILTH! GUTTER-TALK! INANE DRIVEL aimed at the lowest common denominator. BRING BACK QUALITY PROGRAMMING!
