I agree with your ... ( 1 year ago by meltzerboy)

I agree with your comment about comparisons although they are fun and informative anyway; each was great in her own way. I also agree about the porn ad's being insulting to the memory of Beverly Sills. And I didn't think your initial comment referred to me, unless you were one of those real fanatics who cannot tolerate any criticism of their favorite singer!

meltzer boy, if I respected your opinion before, now even more so with what you say about Beverly´s Manon, Cleopatra and "O quante volte", you are truly unbiased and my hat´s off to you for that. Best regards.

CoreyLeig, thank you for the compliment. I try to call them as I hear them. The role of Baby Doe is yet another that I believe Beverly owns.

I too almost never weep at the passing of the rich and famous. But I have shed a tear for Beverly and reading your comment today I find I shed another. Thank goodness there are people like her who can touch people like us!

You're right. ... ( 1 year ago by rauzino)

You're right. Beverly Sills DID own Baby Doe. I, for one, am incredibly sad that she is really one of the last of the singers with fabulous techniques and real understanding of the roles. She never indulged in the tasteless scooping which so many singers indulge in when their voices are not quite what they used to be. The music ALWAYS came first.

Thanx for stating ... ( 1 year ago by coopandre)

Thanx for stating the facts about Callas. She did tons of recordings, some excellent and some awful. I hope you are not judging her coloratura from bad recordings. It's like judging Horowitz from his Japan performance. He is a great artist, but he stank during that performance.

I love Sills' voice ... ( 1 year ago by coopandre)

I love Sills' voice. She was very dramatic and a coloratura soprano, but not a dramatic coloratura. She also sang Aida and other roles that did not quite match her "natural" voice. I think she understood that some of the parts she sang contributed to the premature decline of her glorious voice.

Beverly Sills ... ( 1 year ago by meltzerboy)

Beverly Sills stated in fact that singing Roberto Devereaux took ten years off from her vocal career. But she also said she would rather have tried to sing a role and failed than never to have tried at all.

Beautiful. ( 1 year ago by patriciaoday)

Beautiful.

My sister had a ... ( 1 year ago by ceb2633)

My sister had a pirated recording of the only time beloved Beverly ever sang Soeur Angelica. It was soon after the birth of her second child and she cracked up on stage and never sang it again. Both her children were handicapped; to me the saddest is the one who was deaf and never heard her mother sing. Oh, I miss her, lovely lady.

Simply exquisite!! ... ( 1 year ago by REDRYDER3001)

Simply exquisite!! You literally cannot just listen to it once! I completely agree with the person who stated that the Great Sills OWNED this role, among others. Does anyone know, did anyone else of renown try to sing this? I know I tried to sing it as a young coloratura many, many years ago--it was the hardest thing I ever sang. Bubbles, may you rest in peace, but even leaving such a wonderful and extensive body of work behind, you will be sorely missed!

I loved her recording of that role.

I would love to see her perform the Letter Song "Dearest Mama"...it would be fantastic!

She is an angel. God's gift to earth.
The song is so gorgeous, not overly complex and she sings those super high notes so beautifully and effortlessly.
Rest in Peace. and sing with those angels in heaven.

I, literally, just listened to the NYCO recording of this opera with Sills.
OH, God.
There has never been an artist that puts so much "TRUTH" into the text as Sills does. And it's not just for "Baby Doe" but for every role she's ever done. She truly was one of the greatest.

wow.she is so good and wonderful i cant even start to explain it.God's work is amazing.

I have always loved ... ( 7 months ago by tosca333scarpia)

I have always loved Sills' voice and appreciated her ability to act and sing exquisitely. I saw her perform in "Ballad of Baby Doe" when the NYC Opera Co. brought 3 nights of American opera to Chicago. Sills was tall, willow & every time I have seen this opera in my mind's eye I see Beverly Sill. I still don't know why it isn't done more often. It is a beautiful opera.

Fantastic but they played one she did in great sound as a tribute on PBS TV in color when she died, thanks for this she was the greatest.

She can gain your heart in the first few notes she sings.

I am learning this aria in my voice lessons, and she is the one person my teacher recommended for me to listen to sing this aria. Absolutly beautiful! I hope I can sing it half as well.

I'm listening to Baby Doe on NPR right now! Sills sounds absolutely lovely! I love this opera.

I was in the chorus of my university's production of The Ballad of Baby Doe. I fell in love with the opera and Beverly Sills then. I listened to the the NYCO LP several times during college rehearsals. Still own and treasure it even though I purchased the CD that was finally issued. Except for NYCO and a few regional opera companies in the United States, the majors won't produce it. The preference for European repertoire at the expense of a classic like this remains. That's
snobbery and stupid.

Sill's silvery tone is PERFECT in this..she always did have the ability to sing and act a part in a way that touches you..and as for the high D..beautiful :-)

Most often in these ... ( 1 week ago by McKunda77)

Most often in these videos they have a pre-recorded track and ask the singer to sing "prettily". The calm appearence is just because they only have to mark instead of singing full out.
However, she might actually be singing without a recording. In which case, blame it on her sheer professionalism and proper training.
