I see Rise in that silver

outfit coming down the

stairs!!!! This is also

a fine video with 2

great stars.

Great Sophie and a marvelous

voice. There are so many

one cannot keep up!!!!!

   I caught up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I love the Waltraute scene

and Dunn is superb. The

other lady is fairly well-known.

Early techniques were

not kind to divas. Gadski

and others cannot really

be heard in a LIVE recording.
Ladies suffered from the

inability to capture what

they really were.

WILD soprano Maria gay

and husband Giovanni

Zenatello.She was a

dynamo!!!!

Scary!!!!!!! Caruso did

not sing much with this

man,whose voice was

gigantic!!!!!!

Another diva from the golden

age of supposedly "lesser-known"

singers. I hope I turn you all

on to what is available!

YouTube allows you to

discover so many

superb stars,like

Burzio.

Marton had a fabulous voice 

and was one of our great

divas;the voice eventually

got rough,but in her prime

she was extraordinary.

   I am catching up on my podcasts!!!!

  To all of you at a tragic

period in the world, may

I wish you all my love and hope

we can combat with courage

this dreaded virus.

             Love to All!  Charlie

Pretty and beloved 6/18/07

but Nelson had to hold

his ears.Am I mean?

Blame the virus!!!!!

Snobbish Bing fired her

because she sang with Jimmie

Durante,my ma's friend. Top

notes were short, but a

great voice and lots offun.

 6/16/88.

Elizabeth Schumann

6.13.88  A voice from

HEAVEN!!!!

So sad he killed himself.

A darling person and a

wonderful tenor.

Rest in Peace.!

Spoiled forever by her Carmen

She died in the curtain. My

beloved Rise.Made it to 99.

I will treasure her all my life.

Sorry to have missed some birthdays.

First singer I met and in her

club.My adored Rise Stevens.
