8/21/33. One of the most haunting

voices imaginable.I am so sorry I 

never got to hear her live. My loss!!

   Tribute to the dear people of Barcelona

after this terrible tragedy.

  Es imposible expresar en palabras

   lo que siento!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  If you asked me what my all-time favorite commercial recording by a diva is, I would tell you that the Lotte Lehmann Wunder der Heliane aria is to me SUPREME!!!!

The lady had this "veiled and haunting" tone that thrills me no end!!!!

  The great ones never lose it. He is 67.

Ferruccio Tagliavini had an incredibly beautiful

"Gigli-like" voice. Here is an aria from a rare

Refice work, "Chopin."  He did not even have

a recording of it, saw my catalogue, sent me a 

request and I sent it to him!!!

   8/14/1913.  More to come.

  I saw this marvelous baritone

in Macbeth and I wish to show you

this clip on his birthday, Aug.12 (1966.)

                    FUNNY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Imagine attending a performance with your four

favorite singers in their respective voice categories.

   The matinee 1956 for me was something never to forget.

Zinka,my all-time favorite singer, is absolutely at her

PRIME!!!!  The B flat pp on "Invan la pace" is

UNREAL and the last "Maledizione" is sensational.

I was standing all the way down across the orchestra

pit.  Yes, I live in the past!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sweetest nicest guy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

8/8/79    Happy Birthday!!! Wonderful voice.

GREAT HIGHS!!!!!!!!

Lovable in person also!!!!!!!!!!!!
