Grace Bumbry In Questa Reggia 1976 TRUE MONO
Grace Bumbry, accompanied by Rolando Nicolosi at Viareggio, 1976, inaugurazione Bussoladomani.
This video has been around and it's quite fantastic, but in the original the sound only comes from the left channel. May not be noticeable in mobile platforms but with speakers it's very distracting. So I got fed up and converted the pseudo-stereo audio to true mono. Exact same thing, but it now comes out through both channels, making it MUCH easier to listen to.

Extremely beautiful. Such clear vowels and consistent tone. The top is enormous!!!
I tend to not be a fan of offer recital recordings. But this was an absolute thrill!
Fantástic interpretation, wonderful técnic, great dramátic soprano!
mille grazie! for uploading this video... it's clear that bumbry sang this role too late in her career (in the 90's), when her top notes were less reliable and the voice wasn't as light and pliable...

I don't think she sounds strained, but, one would had had to have been her to know. And, often, one can't arrive at such an understanding by one's self analysis. That aside, I believe she maitained access to her vocal expressivity for quite sometime after this. Her stage performances of Turandot were quite effective and memorable.
What a fascinating introduction! And thank you for posting such a rare performance!
Thrilling!
That was amazing. Too bad she never recorded the role.
