AVE MARIA (Bach/Gounod) -- Anna Moffo: Dazzling! 

Robert Howes I agree...........................................................

Thank you for those kind words, AM was an operatic gem, at times underappreciated.

So much for self-congratulation Robert & Billy ... not done where I grew up. At least not so obvious. ;)

Thank you for your lovely words she was always the best , liked her very much also my mother was a great fan of her , thank you good night .!!

Amazing! Brava.

Dont like the vibrato

I am a big Amira Willighagen fan...AND a big Anna Moffo fan...this version is a sublime rendering, absolutely exquisite.

My Mother heard her sing live and was the best Soprano she ever heard. Her voice was pure crystal, faultless and she acted her socks off during it all, a consummate professional. Her upper registrar was exquisite and appeared so effortless and natural, never forced. They should play her more often on the radio and television to show perfection and teach young singers her technique

they have mined a lot of talent out of PA.

P.S. Anybody know what Cathie is babbling on about? Maybe someone can suggest to her a good doctor for the removal of that hair up her ass?

+I haven't the foggiest notion. Let me see if I can scratch her comment

A friend of mine once had his hair migrate from his head to his ass, and he never sang better!

Mr. Shepard - it's a pleasure to see you here! I was a student of Joseph Machlis at Juilliard and I later worked for him and arranged his musical parties back in the mid-1980s. I always knew your name as a very high-level classical music record producer, but I did not know you also served as a conductor and arranger. I have always admired Anna Moffo's recordings, so it's a real pleasure to know that you produced this one!

VERY interesting, TZS, and congratulations for your involvement in this exquisite rendition. The LP in my possession was NOT the 1970 disk you mention but rather a True Value Hardware collection of Xmas tunes -- unbelievable that such a classy recording was to be found on so commonplace a venue. I recalled the purchase as being late '60's but, that being almost 50 years ago I'm happy to admit to a couple of years of timeline error.The real question here is: Can you explain why this recording was not listed among AM's oficial discography? This recording seems to have been totally unknown before In pposted it on RU-vid some years ago. Thx. for any insight you can offer and again congratulations for this superb recording. - Bill

Brava!

Yes! Her "Chi il bel sogno di Doretta" is fantastic, too. I adore Anna 💞
