  • There is absolutely no comparison between Lily's splendid Lucia and Netrebko's adequate attempt at the role.

  • @ANKHSNAMMON YES ! I never knew she was in her mid 50's in that LP from 1954 with Tucker and Frank Guarrara. I always thought she was younger until she died and her age came out. She looked, when I saw and talked to her in 1974 much younger than her right age. She was quite small with fine features, still attractive .

  • @SHICOFF1 I have the recrding,wih Guarrara as Ashton

  • Fascinante! Gracias.

  • ¡Bravo!

  • she has such a sweet voice and love the dress!

  • only miss Pons would transpose the mad scene a minor third up and hold the high Gb's like they were nothing!

  • Born ALICE PONS IN 1898 AND DIED IN 1976 . I SAW HER AND TALKED TO HER AFTER A RICHARD TUCKER RECITAL SHE ATTENDED IN PALM SPRINGS CALIF. NEAR HER HOME, IT WAS ON MARCH 2 1974 AND SHE LOOKED EXACTLY LIKE SHE DID HERE. SHE ENJOYED TUCKER'S SINGING AND TOLD ME HE HAD GREAT CONTROL OF HIS VOICE AND BACK IN 1954 SHE RECORDED LUCIA WITH HIM ON COLUMBIA COMPLETE, RE ISSUED ON CD, AN OFF BRAND NAME.

  • @8Goldie Agreed...

  • @jameswardable You forgot to mention Callas..."After World War II, a small number of technically able sopranos, the most notable of whom were first Maria Callas (with performances from 1952 and especially those at La Scala and Berlin in 1954/55 under Herbert von Karajan" :)
