    Wow! Overwhelmed with her powerful singing. I know she is fully respected but I don't think she is mentioned and praised enough today.

      One of the greatest mezzo-sopranos of the 20th c. I saw/heard her twice in London, a concert performance of Samson & Delilah (RFH) and Don Carlos (ROH). She totally dominated the stage with her presence and voice. A long time ago but the memories remain as clear as day.

      Obratsova surpasses it in power but Verett has more nuance. It is a toss up between the two. But Cossotto and Baltsa are even better acted.

    My first contact with Miss Verrett's voice was in Sinaïde's cabaletta, at 3 meters from her. My first contact with her recorded voice was this aria, in the EMI studio conducted by Giulini. I could not stop listening to her, exactly like with Callas 3 years before. I don't know why. Sutherland and Price gave me great joy, mesmerized me with their consistent ease and vocal glamour, Caballé brought me a mysterious magic with a timbre full of jewels and Fleming with her creamy fruity timbre, easy technique. But there is an inner anger and freedom of the emission that is visceral and addictive, at least to me. This woman has a sharp, cutting sound, burning like lava, relentless, and yet capable of tenderness and vulnerability.

    Electrifying! I have played this video countless times in the past and again in this re-incarnation. Ms. Verrett's Eboli never loses her power! This and her simmering Delilah must be counted among my Desert Island videos.

    Maravillosa. Como es habitual en ella. En la primera sección firme y creíble. La segunda parte con una interpretación exquisita y a la par resuelta. La lectura del documento creíble por completo (lo que no es habitual). Gracias por el aporte Onegin 65. Lo disfruté sobremanera y otras muchas veces lo haré.

      Eboli was made for her…for me she owns the role. I’ve never heard her bettered in it. A very great singer…her Lady Macbeth was kind of epic too. 🥰

    She was never given the same recognition and stature as other great singers like Troyanos and Cossotto, and we all know why. She was better than everyone and she wasn’t a narcissist.

      Verrett had a very beautiful voice, but Cossotto had a better middle register and better diction.
      Also Verrett made a fach switch.

      She is amazing! Her technique is pretty flawless. In some of her other recordings she ends the phrases even more beautifully than here. I am in awe … people of the diaspora will get it… imagine how hard she had to work as a Black women to even get to this level and be broadcast in a TV recording at the time! It is so hard to be come an opera pro already … imagine the world making it even harder because of your skin. She has my deepest respect.

    Ms. Verrett was a wonderful artist and a lovely human being. I met her quite by accident in Siena Italy while she was teaching at the Chigiana. I was in Siena for a summer music festival and saw that she would be coaching a masterclass. We spoke briefly after her session, and she was so warm and friendly. She wrote an autobiography that is well worth reading. Lovely woman!

    Interesting that I was only in my teens when I saw/heard her Eboli in London. That was many years ago yet her performance remains in my memory to this day. Abbado, at his best, was conducting, so I guess that also made a lasting impression. Over the years I’ve been to many opera performances, however only a few really stand out in the memory and that was certainly one of them.

    Thanks, Don Carlos is one of my favorite operas and Shirley Verret is one of my favorite Eboli. I believe this video was filmed in King Philip II's office at the Escorial Palace. Do you know if it is excerpt from a whole film opera and who the other participants are?
