One of my all-time favorite

recordings. At Rise Steven's

home at one of our club

gatherings,Rise spoke of the

Eva of Lehmann,when she

was a young student.Rise was

"in a trance." Amazing that

they ended up together in Met

Rosenkavalier!!!!!

Over the years,the top

got very flat,but in her

prime,she was amazing.

The tenor is not too bad

either!!!!!

You may get to this.  I sang

in a company with the worst

singer EVER...and needed

RAID since he took a bath

every one year. I hope you

get this.

I was at this Gioconda with

my favorite singer,Zinka,

and friend of over 50 yrs.

Regina Resnik. Bing hardly

gave Regina dramatic roles

and she had to fight her way.

Category:general -- posted at: 12:19pm EDT

Exciting Gulin with Baglioni

in Gioconda duet.Cigna and

Elmo also to be remembered.

Category:general -- posted at: 12:16pm EDT

We have no really dramatic

tenors..Remember,I saw

Corelli and Del Monaco

each 40 times. Good to have

one at least in recent past.

Incredible courage after

paralysis.I met her at

closing old Met.

If he sounded like this

live,I would go nuts!!!!

  Jussi was a legendary singer, but live

I found the voice smallish.I do not

think I missed great years.

Category:general -- posted at: 12:12pm EDT

Did I ever post anything

from the (in)famous old

La Puma Opera. I needed

diapers...but we had fun!

Note the GREAT tenor and

his approach to the top.

We had such fun, until

they threw us out.

Her return to the Met.

I called her every birthday

and let me tell you,

she was the most beloved

person to all of us.

Category:general -- posted at: 4:13pm EDT

She slowly rose from the

chair,came forward, and

when she got to " E mio,"

the roof fell in.NO OTHER

soprano ever had the volume

coupled with the beauty.

I will treasure her forever.

Last B flat is the closest

to what we heard live.

It was AWESOME!!!!

The "second madre" of

my life..my darling friend

Renata Tebaldi. Hard to

find words to express

what she meant to us!!!!!

Category:general -- posted at: 3:55pm EDT

I know Magda's caretaker

and he said she sang around

the house at 100 Plus. She

was a miracle!!!!!!
