She is however, a legend amongst experts; her recordings are rare collector's items. She selected her repertoire with great care and mastered it utterly; her clear, brilliant tone, without any frills, is easy to recognize. These important 1953-66 recordings stand as further testament to her talent.  Price: $27.98 |
