I have listened to this CD at a friends' and although I knew Mrs. Gencer since my childhood -I am 60 now- I was ashamed that I don't have any recordings of her in my collection! I believe she is one of the greatest sopranos of 20th century, both in voice and interpretation.

Ms .Gencer was a superlative singer who in my opinion rivaled Callas. NO, I never saw her on stage but it is through her scarce recordings that I learned of her great talent. She was not an international star of the stupendous kind.She replaced Callas in many roles. She was riveting. You will be glued to your seat if you know what exciting singing is all about.
