This IMPECCABLY transfer recording is absolutely delightful, and her voice is unforgettable....And yet she had not "descended" into the low notes that she so memorably developed in the 70's and 80's with much less famous material.But the emulation that she had started out with in the 50's was gone (her least successful recordings, to my taste), and she had already found her own voice.Anyone with a taste for Carmen will be delighted, and those that are to discover her can perhaps find no better introduction to the ART of Ms.McRae.
