Love it. She sang it her whole life and was so beautiful, so fitting for this. The angeliccoloraturas surpas the big voices in this aria.

I've just been comparing this with the clip of Sumi Jo singing the same aria. Lily sings the bells faster, which makes them a little more sprightly, but Sumi Jo has a bigger, richer voice. I never thought I'd hear anyone sing the Bell Song better than Pons, but I think Sumi Jo does. I love them both!

I heard this sung by her in Washington, D.C. at Constitution Hall when I was a child and I still remember how beautiful it was. I am now in my 70's. A real delight to hear it again!!

I completely understand what a vibrato is. I can even completely spell it correctly. No one thinks it's a piece of cake to sing The Bell Song, and though Lily Pons sings the hell out of it here, I've never heard anyone do those trills quite as rapidly. Completely. |
