Bel Canto Singer Pushes Sixty

Did you listen to the idiosyncratic bel canto baby Lilli Lehmann on Youtube after reading my last post?

For the curious among you, here's Lilli singing "Martern Aller Arten" from Mozart's Die Entführung aus dem Serail. For one heck of a difficult aria, Lilli doesn't miss a lick. The coloratura is amazing, and the head voice I wrote about in my previous post? Clear as a bell. I know of only one soprano who sang like this when she was 60. Her name is Benita Valente
