On the other hand, Google

So now Google offers a video sharing service too — a little more trouble to upload, but the playback seems to be somewhat smoother than YouTube. This is a Google video; let La Cieca know what you think.

    Speaking of Troyanos, does anyone know who sings opposite her in the Podcast of Samson et Dalila that was posted here a while back?

  • Baritenor says:

    Wait….Sills in Norma? Are you serious, Callasorphan? Who did she sing, Clothilde?

  • CALLASORPHAN says:

    Yes. baritenor Sills did Norma often during tha 1970s. I heard her in (I think) 1976 or 1977 in San Diego. She was (to me) a rather weak Norma (see my name) Beleive me, I adore dear Beverly but NOT as Norma!

  • paddypig says:

    sills also sang Norma in boston with Sarah Caldwell., she also recorded it for ABC with Verrett and Enrico Di Guiseppe. she was not my ideal norma either.i believe the samson was guy chauvet, only saw him once at the met as Radames, opposite Cruz Romo and Mignon Dunn. don’t really remember if he was very good or not in AIDA

    I love the shit out of Tatiana Troyanos. Wow. I think that woman could do it all, as far as mezzos go. Just wow.

  • CALLASORPHAN says:

    I totally agree with you La Divina regarding dear Tatiana. Her big dispairing scene as Didon in Les Troyens (on the Met video) ALWAYS brings me to my knees. It is stupendous!!! When Didon realizes that HE’S REALLY GONE divine Tatiana pulls ALL of the “stops” out and sings the hell out of it!
