Grazie Jose per Maria Stuarda. Qualche anno fa l’ho vista alla Scala e mi era piaciuta

Che mezzo che divinità che bellezza, I have already chosen my music to leave this world. Verrett, Freni Schwarzkopf, Kraus, Renata Tebaldi e Scotto, voglio andare via con gioia e qualità

On a distracted first listen, I didn't even recognize her voice in the 3rd performance. And the last one (amateur recording w terrible sound) was my favorite because of the way she played with the musical line. The audience must have been beside themselves. I guess at that point she felt she owned the role and could let her hair down with it. Great idea to collect all these recordings- thank you!

Divinità cantano your voice marked for ever Macbeth. Thank you for even been born. Like as knive coming in your body
