I love how they captured the sound of the environment, not jus like the mic is in their throat. I get the sense that im sitting somewhere in the balcony.
Perhaps not the same approach as Sills, but she does have high D6 and Eb6. Sills sang coloratura ornaments at very fast tempos. That was kind of her trademark
two of my absolute favorites...but sometimes you have to have some Sutherland, Price and Moffo! and while Beverly will always be this role for me - Sondra does a great Tosca and both Leonoras.
Two things: Callas never sang this role (although she should have) and Sills’ voice type was wrong for this role and she wrecked it with her self-absorbed, pushed, ‘gee aren’t I great’ performances. Sills was a leggiera (a very good one), not an assoluta.
HER ROLE. I love how she acknowledges the applause in character, such a bold and wise choice!
too true!
You shouldn't do that. It's extremely unprofessional
Love her acting as well.

I love recordings like that! You can hear the voice bounce off the walls!
Bravo bravo bravo
Now there's a queen!
I'm still mourning Montserrat Caballé and Maria Callas. But there is hope. My goodness is she good. Hope to see her live one day
MARAVILLOSA
At times she sounds like Sills on steroids.
Love both of course.
Sills owns this role. Sills understood the role fully. This is just screeching
Who knew they had hula hoops back then?
Brava, Sondra!
Interesting production design. Where/when is this?
I love how the ladies in waiting have frisbees underneath their skirts.
Not Donizetti voice
According to you what is a Donizetti voice?
She doesn't have the high notes of Sills...

Her earrings look like the ones Mike Todd have Elizabeth Taylor. Only gold instead of silver.
Not chest voice? Why? Does she only know how to sing high?
Because LAZY and uneducated
Her vibrato is incredibly intrusive, but her acting is spot on
No me gusta en absoluto como ejecuta el aria. Devia por ejemplo lo ha cantado de maravilla.
A lesson in how to murder a great aria!
This is problem with Radvsnofsky , she just wobbles and screeches through arias
Absolutely!
Horror!!!
Two names. Callas. Sills. That's it. Everybody else is unimportant.

They're both dead. You know that, right?

False. She’s already out sung Callas. Sills is great too, but she didn’t do 3 queens with the ease and resonance as Sandy Rad.
