As another poster said, this is a Sherrill Milnes FEAST! Thanks for including the LUISA MILLER excerpt -- it's one of my absolute favorites in Milnes' repertory.
Fabulous compilation - even had a few excerpts I'd not seen before. Thanks so much for bringing back these priceless moments. I've always felt lucky to have been turned on to opera by Sherrill (and PD) as a kid when I wandered unsuspectingly into a performance of Otello ( Met on tour ). Felt like I had been struck by lightning. It was the start of a long and happy 'relationship'--on stage, tv, film, records,he always gave 100%. Wish there were some way to thank him for all the wonderful years.
Best baritone ever on this Planet .Good stage presence, excellent voice control, legato, piano, forte,top notes like super-baritone, just a perfect singing machine. I wish to be like him.
A truly affectionate and quite moving tribute to an operatic great. I was a little disappointed at the lack of any Tosca, his role of Scarpia in the 1976 film production is for me one of his finest hours, but it was a wonderful watch and thank you for sharing.
Saw him in Don Carlo when the Met used to tour to Cleveland. Unforgettable performance...

He has always been a "class" act. Always enjoyed his singing. Singing+ acting= Sherrill Milnes.

A complete feast to hear this much Milnes. I only wish Attila could have been included.

He is nothing short of the greatest American baritone of all time
