Rosa Ponselle, Lennartz (cello), Giovanni Martinelli (tenor), Ezio Pinza (bass) & Marion Telva (contralto) Metropolitan Opera Chorus, Giulio Setti & Rosario Bourdon With the revival of Bellini’s Norma in the Met’s 1927-28 season Ponselle achieved perhaps the greatest triumph of her career. After the first performance on 16th November, Olin Downes, writing in The New York Times, remarked that the opera’s success was due to Ponselle, ‘probably the most beautiful voice of any soprano of her generation.’ | | | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days. |

Rosa Ponselle & Giovanni Martinelli (tenor) “She was called “the voice of the century”. And with the opening notes of Aida’s “O patria mia”, heard full and clear through the crackle and needle-hiss of the 1923 recording, you realise why. Not only the voice itself, rich and seamless throughout the compass, but the life force pulsing through it. The soft, sustained high B flat of Leonora’s “Invan la pace”, from La forza del destino, thrills you to the marrow, as does the duet from the Nile scene of Aida, with Martinelli. Most of the disc is Verdi; some are alternative takes, one or two even better than the published versions.” The Sunday Times | | | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days. |
