Listen to a Sample:

 

Pros:

  • No matter how serious the role, Beverly Sills always brought a sense of fun and daring, tipping her hat to the traditions of bel canto while also finding ways to bring a new point of view to cadenzas and interpretation.
  • Pierre Duval had a hard task standing next to a legend like Sills, but he still manages to impress with his pristine baritonal tenor.

Cons:

  • The sound is decent for Acts I & III and wretched for Act II. Still, it is worth it, in my opinion, for Sills in her prime.
