I had never heard of Mrs Farrell, then one afternoon in the car I heard her sing Verdi. I was stupefied by her voice, so unbelievably beautiful, solid, clear and stirring, natural - I cried because of so much purity and sincerity, so much giving! Thank you, thank you so much.

What a wonderful opera singer...and what a very versatile singer. I just listened to Farrell singing jazz and blues...and came here to listen to her as she is best known, as an opera singer. She was one singer who could do it all!
Terrific singer and human being, extraordinary conductor and pianist. These seemingly effortless performances are an inspiration. What an era that used to be!
One of the best. Pace,pace mio. Dio recorded in the history of this Great and difficult area for a. Soprano voice. Eileen. Farrell was A truly dramatic soprano from top To bottom,no doubt about it. A Sincere a serious artist. I like This version of this area with Only the piano and the empty Anfiteatro. Eileen in a dramatic Black dress,very focused,very Concentrated in this dramatic Area!! Bravi a tutti!!
Absolutely brilliant. Emotional singing but refined and solid technique. She was one hell of a soprano! Wish she had sung even more opera but she could not be categorized or contained you go girl!
The first soprano to captivate me and the greatest! She was perfectly beautiful, as a singer and a human being. She sang only because she loved to sing (thank God)as an avocation. She put her family first. ❤
She was marveleus as a dramatic soprano as well as a jazz and great american singer.What a versatulity one of the best american and underrated sopranos.
This could be almost anywhere in the south of Europe, France, Italy, even in the north of Africa. Magnificent, isn't it? There are thousands of these sorts of these places in the south of Europe. Won't you please come and visit the south of Europe and the North of Africa? You'll be astounded at the beauty and the talent of the local artists who are there to serve you.
A criminally underrated soprano of her own doing....I'm pretty sure Tebaldi & Callas may have taken a backseat to this woman had she wanted top billing bad enough.
She apparently just wasn't interested in big-time, hectic international career. I agree--she was one of the great sopranos of the twentieth century. Thanks heavens we have her recordings.
she was a housewife and mother from connecticut and preferred the domestic life. nonetheless she performed and recorded enough to leave us a most generous legacy
Thanks for explaining that,I was quite mystified.Yes,we must be grateful that this glorious voice was recorded. The UK newspaper the Daily Telegraph,said of her "She is to singers what Niagara is to waterfalls" What a wonderful description!

I would say, without hesitation, Eileen Farrell had no technical issues. In fact, she was such a skilled technician that she is literally the ONE classical singer that recorded jazz and standards as impressively and appealingly as opera. It's true that she doesn't have the world renown of Maria Callas or Renata Tebaldi, but she hosted her own radio program in the early 1940s for five years where she performed both classical and popular tunes. She did not begin her stage career in opera until her mid 30s, and she was married to a policeman and lived on Staten Island with their two children. It's clear her desire to balance home life with celebrity is why less people are familiar with her (although she did perform internationally, she did that less than most major opera stars). NPR noted, "She possessed one of the largest and most radiant operatic voices of the 20th century." The Daily Telegraph stated that she "was one of the finest American sopranos of the 20th century; she had a voice of magnificent proportions which she used with both acumen and artistry in a wide variety of roles." She has been described as having a voice "like some unparalleled phenomenon of nature. She is to singers what Niagara is to waterfalls." th-cam.com/video/1TS1Yi80H-s/w-d-xo.html

What do you mean it’s not the same recording? I believe this was taken from a Ed Sullivan telecast and it was a remote feed. Neither Farrell or Thomas Schippers took short cuts; they were the real McCoy. That’s her voice and his playing. The arena needs refurbishment before they open but those two Americans ARE GREAT!! please get her complete box set from Sony/Columbia.

Yes! If there is enough musicality and the right technique you can sing modern and opera;-) her Gershwin songs are wonderful...
Eileen is one of my all time greatest sopranos. Yes; she was underrated of her own doing

I just discovered probably the soprano voice that I have been missing all my life. Sooo beautiful ❤️❤️❤️❤️
She sings with such great passion. Amazing voice.
Her voice is pure magic!
Magnificent! One of my favourites and a constant inspiration to learn to sing better.
Sublime ! sometimes things just come together and create perfection for people to marvel at forever, thanks for uploading this delight.
This a real treasure, thank you!

Probably the 1st soprano to captivate me. The standard I measured other Sopranos to.
the best version of this song!

Looks like Sicily to me.
this is the teatro romano in spoleto, italy
@@wotansingsThanks. I thought it was the Greek theatre in Taormina.
probably the greatest american soprano since ponselle!
And she sang with Ponselle (in private).
Yes she did!
I consider she is greater than Callas who liked her.
One of my three favorite TRUE dramatic sopranos, The two others are Milanov and Varnay.
A criminally underrated soprano of her own doing....I'm pretty sure Tebaldi & Callas may have taken a backseat to this woman had she wanted top billing bad enough.
What did she do wrong?
She apparently just wasn't interested in big-time, hectic international career. I agree--she was one of the great sopranos of the twentieth century. Thanks heavens we have her recordings.
she was a housewife and mother from connecticut and preferred the domestic life. nonetheless she performed and recorded enough to leave us a most generous legacy
Callas was quite a fan of Farrell.

The UK newspaper the Daily Telegraph,said of her "She is to singers what Niagara is to waterfalls" What a wonderful description!
what a beauty! magic in the middle of nowhere
GREAT!!! una grande del pasado.
She was a real dramatic soprano. She was a natural talent who perhaps didn't work on her technique as others did, but boy she could let loose!
Do tell… What do you think she is missing technically?
Not sure this is true. I have known quite a few people who studied with her, and they all said she knew what she was doing technically.

A Spoleto...a mezzogiorno...sotto il sole...in luglio....Farrell e Schippers....la prodezza prossima era lo sbarco sulla luna.
Bravissimo.
Bravi a tutti!!
Divina
Possibly -- Spoleto's Teatro Romano in 1959 with Thomas Schippers, piano
Schippers accompanied Miss Farrell on several occasions notably on a tour of South America before he began his conducting career.
Indeed. Teatro Romano di Spoleto, Festival dei Due Mondi 1959 in which she sang Verdi's Messa di Requiem (with Schippers) and gave a recital.
Incredible!!! If only the lens was half as good as her voice. :)
che bello
My singing teacher had taught Eileen, in St. Louis, MO.
Mar Lu Mind telling me the name of your teacher?
Are you confusing Farrell with Helen Traubel? I don't believe Farrell ever trained in St. Louis.
She lived and studied in Mediden, Connecticut

Oh, grow up! Mad dogs and Englishmen do it. And if they do it, and birds and bees do it, well . . .
this is the most sublime recording of this aria i have ever heard; she surpasses even leontyne (if such a thing is possible)

“Not at her best?” I’ll take Eileen Farrell at her worst before anyone else’s ‘best’ such as you.
