      5 out of 5 stars A document.......2005-02-13

      What a joy! A shining example of great singing. This is dramatic singing at its finest. The voice is a phenomenon - I only wish I heard her live in the opera house. A voice of breadth, power and beauty, like a doric column - even from top to bottom, a true soprano dramitica agilita. (This is a woman that sang Bach cantata arias constantly as a member of the famous Bach Aria Group as well as the great dramatic parts).

      I feel there are several definitive interpretations here, 'Ozean der Ungerheur' - the cantilena and coloratura are mind boggling for a voice of this size - Nilsson cannot even compare in this regard. Also the Menotti aria, what drama, what sound, what DICTION!

      This recording is a document against which every serious, professional singer should test their 'mettle'. The collaboration with Thomas Schippers is very fine.

      5 out of 5 stars A magnificent artist.......2005-01-10

      Eileen Farrell sings amazingly on this CD. She is superb in the opera arias; I especially like her in "Suicidio!", "Adieu, forêts!", Il est doux, il est bon", and "L'année en vain-Azaël! pourquoi mas-tu quittée". In the "La Gioconda", she sings with much passion and pours out glorious torrents of sound. Her singing of the phrase "un dì leggiadre volavan l'ore" is exquisite. She shows remarkable delicacy in the French opera arias, as well as her huge sound during the climaxes. I really am not as impressed with her "Ozean, du Ungeheuer". She doesn't do it for me in this aria the way Birgit Nilsson does. Also, the engineers scale back the sound during the cabaletta. This lessens the impact of Farrell's immense voice, which is really an incredible instrument. I love her singing of the aria from "The Consul", "To this we've come". She displays extraordinary emotion and fire in this aria, all the while singing in very clear English.

      In the English-language songs, she sings with emotional warmth, sincerity, and great restraint. Her voice displays a timeless beauty in the song "Down by the Sally Gardens". Her rendition of "Danny Boy" is heartfelt and very touching. Her English diction is exemplary, every word clearly enunciated with care and clarity.

      One thing I admire tremendously about Eileen Farrell is her seemingly natural way with any type of music she sings. She always adapts her voice to the demands of the piece. Also, her sincerity and utter guilelessness is very refreshing to hear. She never fakes emotions, overemotes, or wallows in her own sound. Listen up, Renée Fleming!

      Farrell demonstrates on this CD why she is such a legendary singer.

      5 out of 5 stars Stunning vocalism.......2004-02-26

      This recital is a great tribute to a sadly underrated singer. Some of the less familiar items are stunningly sung (e.g. the Debussy and Massenet arias), but the highlight for me is the "Suicidio." This just might be the best recording of this area ever (with nods to Ponselle, Callas, Tebaldi, et al). I think it blows the sox off the competition, much the same way the "In questa reggia" from the Puccini album does. Hopefully, Columbia will see fit to reissue the Puccini someday.

      5 out of 5 stars After they revived me...........2003-08-26

      Nevermind the technical merit and attention to detail that a review should have, this is purely and simply a rave review. Nothing more, nothing less. I love opera, am hard to please, and generally don't like albums of arias, preferring the complete works to the fancy bits. But, God in heaven, what a voice. I've listened to it twice in the first day, and I can still hardly believe it's true. Don't wait. For heaven's sake, buy the thing NOW! THIS MINUTE! MOVE! Now I'm going to lie down to recover... Thank you.

      5 out of 5 stars One of the most impressive dramatic sopranos i've heard.......2001-06-20

      I heard this recording many years ago (the operatic arias only), and it was high time for it to be reissued. Farrell is one of the most impressive dramatic sopranos i've ever heard. It's also probably her best recording, in full command of (majestic) voice and style.

      5 out of 5 stars Magnificant Singing in Every Way.......2007-01-12

      These are all terrific performances, and it would be difficult to single out any one in particular, but if I had to, I would say "Una furtiva lagrima". I've heard a few different performances of this aria by Joseph Schmidt (he liked to record his favorite arias more than once), and this one, for me, is by far the best. His vocal production was perfect through even the most demanding phrases, his interpretation was beautiful, with one inspired moment after another, and even his added embellisments on one of the last runs near the close of the aria, had everything in the way of coloratura that any bel-canto lover could ever wish for. It's probably the single best version of this aria I've ever heard ANY singer do. I don't wish to slight the rest of the program, as it all is pretty spectacular, too. 'One of those unique examples of a legendary singer where the actual singing is, if possible, even more beautiful than the voice itself.

      5 out of 5 stars Impressive singing by a wonderful spinto.......2004-05-23

      Antonietta Stella was a wonderful soprano with a large, full spinto voice, a voice type that is quite rare on today's opera stages. During her short time with the Met, she was overshadowed by Tebaldi, Milanov, and Callas. In retrospect, her relative neglect was not deserved. She had a major voice. It was creamy, focused, and quite large. Her forte top register was excellent and she could hit a high D-flat securely. However, she lacked Tebaldi's and Milanov's ravishing pianissimos, and her tone when singing softly was not as ravishing as Tebaldi's. Her voice, while pleasant, is not strikingly beautiful, nor is it as distinctive as Tebaldi's, Milanov's, or Callas'. It was unfortunate that she started out very early in opera. This led to her having a short vocal prime and experiencing vocal decline by her mid-thirties. If she had made her Met d?but in the early 1960s, when Callas was in vocal decline, Milanov was winding down her career, and Tebaldi was experiencing major vocal difficulties, instead of the year 1956, she probably would have lengthened her vocal prime and become a major star at the Met.

      This CD consists of two recitals she recorded for EMI when she was at the height of her vocal prime, 1955. The Verdi selections were recorded in Italy in mono and the Puccini selections were recorded in London in stereo. Needless to say, the Puccini selections have better sound than the Verdi selections do. Stella sings exceptionally well on this CD. The listener immediately notices her full, round, steady spinto tone and crystal-clear Italian diction. She is expressive in all the arias on this CD. She has a strong chest register and uses it to nice effect on this CD. I will pick out a couple of arias on the CD to discuss.

      Stella sings "Tacea la notte" wonderfully. I immediately noticed a story-telling aspect in her singing of this aria that is not evident in many other versions of this aria. It's too bad that she did not record "D'amor sull'ali rosee" for this recital. In the cabaletta, she hits a forte high D-flat. Her agility is pretty good, but she lacks the trills that make "Di tale amor" so wonderful to listen to. She deals with all the vocal difficulties in "Ecco l'orrido campo" excellently, and manages the climatic high C beautifully. She has the flexibility to sing the Bolero from "I vespri siciliani". All the grace notes are clearly articulated and she sings the runs at the end cleanly. She even hits a staccato high D-flat in this aria. However, she does not have a trill to give in this aria. The same goes for the "Ernani" aria. Her sense of fun while singing the Bolero is wonderful. In "Pace, pace, mio Dio", she could be a bit more dramatic. At the end, she nails the high B-flat, actually singing it rather than screeching it as so many other sopranos do.

      The Puccini selections on this CD are just as good as the Verdi selections, maybe even better. Her "Sola, perduta, abbandonata" is heart-wrenching. I find it more intense, and therefore, more affecting than Renata Scotto's studio recording with Gavazzeni. Dramatically, her "Vissi d'arte" is not as good as Callas', but her high B-flat is rock solid and full. Stella sings a definitive version of "Laggi? nel Soledad". Both Dorothy Kirsten and Eleanor Steber come close in their live recordings of this aria, but Stella has a bigger voice than the both of them and she is a true spinto; the other two are lyric sopranos. Stella sings Minnie's aria with wonderful character and sincerity. The high C she nails at the climax is a gorgeous, full, absolutely steady note. In the three "Madama Butterfly" arias, she comes into her own. "Che tua madre" is sung with intense passion, "Un bel d?" with all the right dramatic shadings, and the Death Scene with intense, believable drama.

      This CD is a great memento of a neglected soprano. I highly recommend it.

      5 out of 5 stars Her Great Expectations!!!.......2001-08-22

      Antonietta Stella was a lyric-soprano in the best days of Callas-Tebaldi and their rivalry, that is in the fifties and sixties. Although she got less popularity than the Two Divas did, hidden behind their shadow, she also was the first class opera singer as much as the Two were. Her voice is quite similar to that of Tebaldi, Milanov or Tucci, but more lyrical. The DG studio recording of "Trovatore" conducted by maestro Tullio Serafin with a fully luxurious casting -Bergonzi, Cossotto, Bastianini, La Scala Orchestra and chorus-is one of the greatest recordings of the work. Unfortunately, in her two "Don Carlo"(EMI, mono-DG, stereo) and "Un Ballo in Maschera"(DG), she didn't meet nice tenors. But these sets are worth being listened thanks to great opera stars such as Bastianini, Cossotto, Gobbi, Christoff etc. Here, this TESTAMENT compilation album, now ranked at amazon.com, is her only recital album despite her dazzling operatic carrier that becomes a nice stimulus because nowadays very famous and popular singer's albums are made several times from the previously recorded materials. Every arias in this disk gives us a perfect gratification through the well-balanced sound quality and a good recording state from the 1st track till the last. Particularly, "Ernani, involami", "Laggiu nel Soledad" and "Senza Mamma" are the best singing ever. As a whole, she makes high level characterizations and her diction is absolutely examplary. Due to the CD's time limit, I feel the lack of Elisabetta's "Tu che le vanita..." & Violetta's "Addio del passato". In addition, I want to recommend a live recording "Attila" with Ruggero Raimondi. .... This is a "REAL MUST BUY".
