Teresa Zylis-Gara
I will never forget the first time I heard Teresa Zylis-Gara. It was a recording from the Rudolf Bing Gala in 1972 when she sang the love duet from Otello with Franco Corelli. I had gravitated towards that excerpt for Corelli, but found myself totally mesmerized by the angelic beauty of Teresa Zylis-Gara. Zylis-Gara possessed a voice that was both pure and powerful which afforded her enormous versatility in her career. She was able to bring an added dramatic impact to the Mozart roles she sang as well as a purity of tone to Puccini, Verdi and even Wagner. This compilation features arias and excerpts from Don Giovanni, Il Giuramento, Guglielmo Tell, Anna Bolena, Der Rosenkavalier, Otello and Don Carlo.

Superlative gathering of representative selections by one who was NOT recorded nearly enough!
What a wonderful example of an truly under recorded artist! These selections present Zylis-Gara in prime voice throughout. I particularly enjoy Desdemona's Willow Song and Ave Maria which I heard on a MET Opera tour in1972 with co-stars James McCracken and Sherrill Milnes! In the mid-1980's with New Orleans Opera, Zylis-Gara performed Cilea's "Adriana Lecouvreur" with the wonderful Bianca Berini and the stalwart Ermanno Mauro. The two ladies brought down the house! I regret, though, that I never heard Zylis-Gara in Mozart. The recording features a couple of Dona Elvira's arias. It's also interesting to hear Zylis-Gara as Octavian in the astounding trio from "Der Rosenkavalier." The Princess is Caballe! Wow!
