Every year that she performed at the Met from 1976 to 1991 (the years that I had subscribed to the Met) I attended her performances. During the years of her dispute with James Levine, when she did not perform at the Met, I attended her concert performances here in NYC, at Avery Fisher Theater and at Brooklyn College. After the 1979 performance at Avery Fisher Theater I had the cherished privilege of meeting her personally. That is a night that I will never forget.

She's amazing. Her voice sounds full, radiant and expressive in this rendition. It must have been amazing to be there and be enveloped by the warmth of her sound. I love this part: 7:19 she opens up her chest voice on "Nasca il giorno, o il giorno muoia" and then she stretches her spine, lifts her chest and emits that incredible and focused high note "Sempre lieta ne’ ritrovi". Goosebumps

A model of technique. I first heard her live at Covent Garden the next year in 1980. Her Lucrezia Borgia was astonishing and well acted in an old fashioned operatic way. Her singing during the 1980s provided some of the most exciting operatic experiences of my life. Sadly this world has long gone. Producers these days seem intent on destroying most operas, even ridiculing them and most singers don’t have a clue about technique. There are a few exceptions but not many!

A fine document that represents the waning years of what was great operatic tradition. The drama, pathos and musicality that she can deliver in one phrase surpasses what most singers today can do with the entire scena and tacked on histrionics.

In the recitative, the first thing that strikes me is how clear her diction is without losing that roundness of sound. Afterwards a little less... That eleven second trill at the end of the cavatina, and the TWELVE staccato high Cs... impressive for any age.
