Music Reviews of Donizetti's Lucia di Lammermoor: Complete Opera (with full libretto and translation)Music Review: A redescovered masterpiece Rating: 5 Stars
I had been waiting for it for years,my uncle had the album wich basically fell apart.Probably no other Donizetti role was so perfect for Sills than Lucia and we are very fortunate that she recorded it with such an amazing cast.The treasures hiddin in this recording are far too many too fit in a 1000 word review but how can I not mention her "mad scene" where she uses her masterfull technique combined with her incredible drammatic talent and suddenly time stops and our spirit is able to fly.Thank you Beverly!!! A.Lorenzetti.
Music Review: bravo,Beverly Rating: 5 Stars
Bravro, Beverly. God must be in heaven with you there now . Oh, of course, God is already in Heaven---You just made it better !
Tears just flowed at your Mad Scene---And then there was Carlo Bergonzi ! Does it get any better ??? Maybe, but I don't think so--Magnificent !
Thank you Beverly Sills for all you gave us with your Beauty and tenacity

Music Review: Brilliant Rating: 5 Stars
I usually don't write reviews but this is a worthy recording. I have heard about eight different recordings of Lucia Di Lammermoor (including popular Callas and Sutherland ones) and this is by far my favourite. Sills' voice is beautiful, melodic, and dances right on the edge of chaos as every good Lucia should. This is THE performance of Lucia di Lammermoor.
Music Review: A standard Lucia Rating: 5 Stars
This version of Lucia is so good I strongly feel it's the standard to which future Lucias ought to be measured to. Miss Sills is very dramatically gripping. Her singing could not be better, with such fluency in coloratura. The others back up Sills well and the tempi are ideal making this recording the greatest of all.
Music Review: opera Rating: 5 Stars
I bought this as a present for my husband who is an "opera maven". It is considered to be a rare recording as it is not only the complete (unabridged) opera but features Beverly Sills and a glass harmonica (rarely used). He loves the recording
