I adore her, and not just because of the voice. She's so "normal" while being so extraordinary. And intelligent, and funny, and likable. I was drawn to Pavarotti first, in the early 70s, who opened my ears to Sutherland (the greatest voice/singer in all of operative history) who opened my ears to Horne. I cannot overstate how much joy these three have given me.

I heard her sing a recital in summer of 1994 at Ravinia, as part of the MH Foundation, and she was simply amazing. I got to attend a masterclass, and she knew EXACTLY what each person needed....best famous singer teacher I've seen! As a younger vocal student, I particularly remember in her recital the different voices she used in "Death and the Maiden", each a distinct character but still actual singing, not cartoonish or caricature. I cried continually through the concert as she kept moving me with her art, and when I met her, I couldn't really speak....I was still crying!

I sat in the front row at the Kennedy Center to hear Marilyn Horne. I've loved music, especially opera since I was a little girl, and I could not get over her breath control ~ I actually saw her diaphragm move. She was wonderful and I really enjoyed this documentary.

At 11'30" she talks about her duet-singing skills, and you absolutely hear and see her doing those things in all those wonderful duets with Sutherland. Also, all those skills she possessed of imitation, and technical facility, were assisted by great intelligence, because you just can't do what she did without it.

The TRIFECTA as i like too call them. Marilyn, Joan, and Pavarotti. They ALL were the very best of their era and beyond for quite some time. But when Joan and Marilyn sung they had something very special together.

Sutherland Gone. Ramey Gone. Levine gone. And Horne will be 90 next year. Jackie's was the first opera singer I saw, live, as a young singer in high school. (Met Carmen, on tour 1970's) Sad to learn this film was released already over 25 years ago. And sad to realize as I now myself have sung professionally for over 30 years, I no longer care for that swallowed, muscled tone, as I once did. And not a mention of Vennard, who she studied with, before Lewis messed it up. Live and learn.

@@zauberfee2492 Personal charm is not the same as proper vocal technique. I love some of my colleagues, but cannot stand how they have ruined students' voices- esp. when they then come to me, and expect me to 'fix' what is wrong, which never should have happened in the first place. Apples vs. kumquats.

Marilyn Horne has always been one of my favourite singers. She was able to sing popular songs, operetta, dramatic mezzo/contralto and bel canto so, so beautifully - just superb. If you get a chance, try and find her opera arias album from 1981 with Claudio Scimone. I know it by heart.
