This is the most beautiful Mozart I have heard, ever. What a wonderful sound to hear in this difficult music. She was the greatest and yes, still a beautiful beautiful sound. Yes, the Met and the NY audience were really blessed. Thank heaven for the joy of hearing this. THANK YOU for putting it up! c
She was without a doubt one of the greatest singers of Mozart the world has ever known- even if this is recorded on the late side. A stunning soprano whose desire to party all the time perhaps hid her many insecurities and melancholy. The Metropolitan were lucky to have her services for so many seasons. Listen to her recording of Berlioz Nuits d'ete with Mitropoulos conducting - in many ways i consider it superior to Crespin's.
Genio e sregolatezza, peccato, la voce è ancora sicura ma come sarebbe stato tutto l'insieme,se non avesse apprezzato tanto l'alcool? Chi ha il pane non ha i denti....
I have always been nuts about this lady her, voice, ( so dark and yet so agile).. Wonderful singing at any age.. she sounds young and fresh. ( comes from good technique.).
@madisonelectronic OH yeah...she could put a drink down faster than anyone I ever knew...and I knew her. Drinking ruined her career.

A friend of mine worked with her when she would come and sing for the Cincinnati Zoo Opera (MANY moons ago!) and he told me she loved to party
