BEST SINGLE CD FROM A GREAT SOPRANO

"In the 1960s these recordings were only available on two LP vinyl records at a cost of $20 each, used. Sena Jurinac was little known in the USA, and it is good to have the recordings on CD digitally restored. In 1953 when these recordings were made Jurinac had not yet started to sing heavy roles which took a toll on her voice. Her dramatic ambitions and abilities had a tendency to exceed her vocal stamina. Here everything is wonderful. Her ability to let the text guide every phrase is almost unique. I dare say no finer recordings of these works are available. The mono sound is clear airy and clean."

"Since this product is out of print I had to pay alot to get it. It was worth every penny and more. The quality of artistry here is very high. We are not likely to find this quality of singing today."
