the film was directed by the great ABEL GANCE.

I sure know Rosa Ponselle. I enjoy Rosa Ponselle in her live integral Carmen and Traviata. I also have some 3 LP with arias and songs, out of her acoustic time and her electric performances, some together with her sister. I think she has a beautiful voice, she looks like a movie-star, but she sometimes hav'nt got a good taste. So I don"t think she is americans greatest soprano. By the way: Callas did'nt know any singer but herself.

@qklq42 -Have you no knowledgeof the American Rosa Ponselle who Maria Callas called the best of all of them.She FYI was American born and bred.

YES THE BOOK TWILIGHT OF BEL CANTO IS VERY GOOD.
-
oh yes, don't worry they can
-
Beautiful, but the sound seems distorted during the first 45 seconds or so---then it gets much better and the voices bloom wonderfully. Is this distortion in the original format??
-
None of the opera singers today can match the brilliant singing and spontaneity of Thill and Moore

I have the complete movie. At least every month I put this video in my recorder. Grace is glamourish with her voice like a flute and Thill is so beautiful. She is the best soprano that America have given us (Callas was also an american soprano) and there is nothing that we can compare with George Thill in the french tradition. I am fond of french opera, and espescially this Louise. By the way: do you know the NAXOS CD of february 20, 1943 with Moore, the great Pinza and Raoul Jobin?

Suggest reading THE TWILIGHT OF BEL CANTO by Leonardo Ciampa. Singers today are guttural, hooty, with no vestige of chiaroscuro. That is the reason for the reference among the cognoscenti to the "GOLDEN" AGE of SINGING Gigli, Crooks, Schipa, Melchior, Lemeshev, Cortis, JSchmidt,Tetrazzini, Leider, Lehmann, Rethberg, Supervia, Berger, Branzell, Stracciari, Thomas, Gorin, Tibbett, and more. THERE are NONE today who are of that caliber.
