What a wonderful opera singer...and what a very versatile singer. I just listened to Farrell singing jazz and blues...and came here to listen to her as she is best known, as an opera singer. She was one singer who could do it all!
I had never heard of Mrs Farrell, then one afternoon in the car I heard her sing Verdi. I was stupefied by her voice, so unbelievably beautiful, solid, clear and stirring, natural - I cried because of so much purity and sincerity, so much giving! Thank you, thank you so much.

I would say, without hesitation, Eileen Farrell had no technical issues. In fact, she was such a skilled technician that she is literally the ONE classical singer that recorded jazz and standards as impressively and appealingly as opera. It's true that she doesn't have the world renown of Maria Callas or Renata Tebaldi, but she hosted her own radio program in the early 1940s for five years where she performed both classical and popular tunes. She did not begin her stage career in opera until her mid 30s, and she was married to a policeman and lived on Staten Island with their two children. It's clear her desire to balance home life with celebrity is why less people are familiar with her (although she did perform internationally, she did that less than most major opera stars). NPR noted, "She possessed one of the largest and most radiant operatic voices of the 20th century." The Daily Telegraph stated that she "was one of the finest American sopranos of the 20th century; she had a voice of magnificent proportions which she used with both acumen and artistry in a wide variety of roles." She has been described as having a voice "like some unparalleled phenomenon of nature. She is to singers what Niagara is to waterfalls." ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-1TS1Yi80H-s.html
The first soprano to captivate me and the greatest! She was perfectly beautiful, as a singer and a human being. She sang only because she loved to sing (thank God)as an avocation. She put her family first. ❤
She was marveleus as a dramatic soprano as well as a jazz and great american singer.What a versatulity one of the best american and underrated sopranos.
A criminally underrated soprano of her own doing....I'm pretty sure Tebaldi & Callas may have taken a backseat to this woman had she wanted top billing bad enough.
She apparently just wasn't interested in big-time, hectic international career. I agree--she was one of the great sopranos of the twentieth century. Thanks heavens we have her recordings.
she was a housewife and mother from connecticut and preferred the domestic life. nonetheless she performed and recorded enough to leave us a most generous legacy
Thanks for explaining that,I was quite mystified.Yes,we must be grateful that this glorious voice was recorded. The UK newspaper the Daily Telegraph,said of her "She is to singers what Niagara is to waterfalls" What a wonderful description!

@@xjAlbert Immaginavo che fosse al Festival dei Due Mondi a Spoleto. Anche io conoscevo un po'di più il suo lato jazz, ma che magnificenza la cantante lirica 🎶😉Grande Thomas Schippers, animatore di quel Festival‼️
What do you mean it’s not the same recording? I believe this was taken from a Ed Sullivan telecast and it was a remote feed. Neither Farrell or Thomas Schippers took short cuts; they were the real McCoy. That’s her voice and his playing. The arena needs refurbishment before they open but those two Americans ARE GREAT!! please get her complete box set from Sony/Columbia.
@@johnpickford4222 This is Teatro Romano di Spoleto, Festival dei Due Mondi 1959 in which she sang Verdi's Messa di Requiem (with Schippers) and gave a recital. Then they recorded this aria on a very sunny day.
@@giando5564: Grazie mille per quest' informazione. Lo credevo essere cosí ma non ero certo che me ne ricordavo bene. Sorry, I assumed you were Italian and if you are, excuse my italian, per favore. Thank you for confirming my query. Enjoy your music over Christmas and good luck to you from Ireland. 🎵🎶
