This is hair-raising! I saw Grace Bumbry sing Gioconda at the Met several times and Verrett in a number of roles there as well. Both incredible artists!

Thank you for posting this video recording! This is Verrett at the height of her career and greatness! May she rest in peace! We love you so much Mdm. Verrett!
Despite being iconic, I haven't found any good/high quality, stereo recording of this concert so far, I wonder if it exists hidden somewhere and when it will be eventually published or commercialized.
Se poi pensi che sei costretto ad ascoltare i mezzosoprani di oggi, del tutto sfiatati e senza un colore nella voce e per non parlare dello slancio interpretativo... e come conclude il duetto la Bumbry con un leggero e imperioso alzar di mano...
Le due nere celestiali insieme a leontine price e jessye Norman ineguagliabili!
Voci splendide tutte e 4. Anche 4 belle donne.
SIMPLY BEAUTIFUL!
RIP Shirley Verrett and Grace Bumbry 🌹🌹🌹
We have lost a very great singer. RIP Grace.
Bumbry's arm gesture at the end...priceless.
May they R.I.P.
We don’t have singers like this today. Bumbry and Verrett are perfect!
Opera's version of 'Ali vs Frazier'. Two of the greatest facing off and everybody wins!
How could it be possible to establish such a duet, nowadays ?
Is it appropriate to say, formidable? Two extraordinary performers at the top of their profession. WOW!
Is it something truly fantastic end of discussion never-to-be-repeated again on this astral plane. 💙💙😪😪🙏🙏👑👑 Arnold Bourbon Amaral
Divinità
Two gorgeous women with magnificently flamboyant voices!
Brilliant duo. Shirley Verett ( R.I.P.) and Grace Bumbry are perfect. Thanks for sharing.
Che grandissime Artiste
Wow!!!
Niente è più bello
Beyond magnificent
This is just incredibly exciting to see both off these fearless singers do what they do best!!!!!! So jealous of the audience.
Fierce 🔥

What were their voices like live?
Haven’t heard this duet sung with so much intensity ever since!! Brava La Verrett and La Bumbry!!
This was great! Also very intense were Millo and Zajick in NYC from 2000. It's on TH-cam.
😍❤️ rest in peace Ms. Shirley Verrett and long live Miss Grace Bumbry
Fantastic!!!! Viva Bumbry!!! Viva Verrett!!! Thank you so much for sharing!!!

Extraordinaria interpretación de esta hermosa aria.
I didn’t realise ,until I read the description, that Ms Verrett is 6 years older than Ms Bumbry. I always thought it was the other way around.
GRANDE VOCES.
Brilliantly singing ❤️❤️❤️ Divas!
Maravillosas!!! Que voces, bravisimo!!!
Spectacular!!!!!!!!!
It was a really exciting evening. Wish we had singers of this quality today. What has gone wrong with modern opera singing?

@@arnoldamaral7406 Indeed a fine voice originally if now over parted but her coloratura technique was only average.
horrifying switch to terrible false technique and loss of a developed chest voice.
Iconic! Period. Thanks for uploading. Ladies and gentlemen, let us admit, we are witnessing a vocal and artistic miracle here
Woof! Singing for Heaven❤
Che violenta valangata di classe
Meraviglia.
Confluenza. Di. Due. Torrenti in piena!!!!!!!!!!!!!FANTASTICHE!!!!!!!!!
Due torrenti in piena ma arginati da un grande stile e una classe infinita.
I really regret that Ms. Verrett never sang the full role of La Gioconda. I think that it would have been a pretty good vehicle for her.
SUPER
Awesome 😎 Thank you!!!

I think it was broadcast by the BBC but sound recording wasn't so good in the early 80s.
@@ahogbin2644 The 1983 Metropolitan Opera Centennial Gala sounds magnificently. It was a televised concert.

I’ve always wondered which of the two ladies had the bigger voice.
Se poi pensi che sei costretto ad ascoltare i mezzosoprani di oggi, del tutto sfiatati e senza un colore nella voce e per non parlare dello slancio interpretativo... e come conclude il duetto la Bumbry con un leggero e imperioso alzar di mano...
esatto!!!! oggi il nulla...
