What a contrast with the quality of today's current output. If someone says we need this or that recording from Lasagne, Rumanian Rumble Balls, Snot, Nettie or some past live capture of Hilly (fractured) BallBearings, I will die laughing.

A live Idomeneo (also Glyndebourne/Busch) was released by Symposium; it's technically out of print but copies are available (also on Amazon); it features, of course, Birgit Nilsson in her first break-out international performance as Elettra but I believe the source lacks some or all of "D'oreste d'ajace." Myto also has a gorgeous Jurinac Manon (in German of course) with Anton Dermota; there's a Pique Dame conducted by Rodzinski with Bastianini as Yeletsky (in Italian) "around"; and Youtube has excerpts from a film of "Sour Anglica" (as one of the excerpts describes it) that also features Elisabeth Hoengen as the Principessa.

If only they'd re-release it (along with some other things, like the Nazi Welitsch Salome Schlussgesang - her best recording)! Jurinac's Fiordiligi is probably the ultimate incarnation on record, alas only in excerpts (the Busch solo CD on Testament or the arias and 1st duet on that EMI References album). But there's also her complete Ilia for Pritchard, still the best there is (although Siurina runs her close), her Contessa for Gui (ravishing and more honest than Evil Incarnate), her Elvira for Moralt (not available) and her Anna for Fricsay (though the voice HAS changed from 1959 onwards). These are all complete. Particularly classic are her Octavian (THE Rosenkavalier under Kleiber pere, or the live Karajan on DGG) and Komponist (Leinsdorf, with Peters and Rysanek). There's also the Rosenkavalier film under Karajan). For a taste of late Jurinac, there's Everding's film of Hansel under Solti - she does a delightful witch. There's also a very interesting german Otello film with Windgassen, where she portrays a Desdemona with much more backbone than usual, closer to Shakespeare rather than Boito. I particularly adore this warmhearted, warm-voiced and humble artist. Thanks for the clip! The EMI References compilation is really wonderful.

She made very few recordings relative to her fame and activity level and virtually none past the 1950's. I think the last studio recording she made might have been the rather leaden Knappertsbusch "Fidelio" from Munich. I would heartily recommend the Orfeo d'Or 2-CD set of selections from live performances that spanned much of her career in addition to the EMI set that had the radio broadcast of the "Viet Letzte Lieder" along with arias from Cosi, Fidelio, Bartered Bride, etc. In the mid 50's she recorded particularly lovely performances of the Schumann Op. 39 Liederkreis and "Frauenliebe und Leben" cycles along with Respighi pieces for Westminster. Elisabeth Soderstrom tried desperately to use her clout with Decca in their Janacek series to get them to cast Jurinac as the Kostelnicka for their studio "Jenufa" but to no avail; after a couple of years of arguing, she agreed to record it with Randova (who was excellent also).

The rich middle and strong lower register tell us it is not Steber, for sure, also Steber's broadcast of Tosca came way too late to find her in such healthy voice. I still think the Bb is pushed -- but over all, it is simply gorgeous. Sena J. is finest Marschallin I ever heard (San Francisco, Silvio Varviso), and it was precisely because of what she could do with her middle and lower middle voice -- strength there is absolutely defining for the M. and Steber never had it in that rep., or any other. Early on, Steber sang some heavenly Mimis (!), but her strength was in high-lyng floating tone -- Elsa, Countess, Anna, Fiordiligi.....esp. Sophie von Faninal.
