![]() Verdi - La Traviata / Rudel, Sills, Price, Fredricks, Wolf Trap Festival $39.95 Although the quality of this DVD is not the best - it is a remake of a VHS from the 70s - it is still fantastic. Beverly Sills is heavenly, and If she indeed was 50 at the time, she was still beautiful. Henry Price as Alfredo is amazing, his buttery voice just flows. Richard Fredricks is second to none. I have not seen or heard a better Germont. One of the best Traviatas. ![]() Donizetti - The Three Queens (Anna Bolena / Maria Stuarda / Roberto Devereux) $90.98 Sills was my complete introduction to the 3 Queens! What an introduction it was! I will not compare Sills to any of the other recordings, for I believe, that they all have their own place. That would include Gruberova(an all time favourite) and the Dame! I am no purist! The voice must tell me something! I feel the music through the voice. Anna Bolena How many times can one listen to the final "Coppia iniqua.." ?!! Sills is brilliant and so is one of my very favourite singers, Verret.(Just acquired her Norma!) Maria Stuarda Firstly, Eileen Farell is brilliant!! But Sills is probably the best Maria on recording! Roberto Devereux One of the greatest recordings ever. This will remain always one of my favourite recordings! Sills really sets the standard here. I adore Gruberova's recording and Gencer's live as well. In years to come will this remain as pieces of art and interpretation!! ![]() Great Recordings $17.98 This is an outstanding collection of Beverly Sills's arias and moving performances.

A sublime voice in an outstanding collection. ![]() The Very Best of Beverly Sills $16.98 A sublime voice in an outstanding collection.
