What a fasinating life of singing she had. With such an instrument I wouldn't think that she would have faced so many obsticles to sing. But if she were a peer of Maria Callas I can imagine that she would have stayed in the shadows. If she had been European would it have been easier for her to become a household name....?Pimp My Voicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02854520872495693904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5880166.post-6252333495513615832015-05-18T19:47:16.868+01:002015-05-18T19:47:16.868+01:00I have just discovered the 1967 Norma on youtube, ...I have just discovered the 1967 Norma on youtube, and I was blown away by Elinor Ross' voice. The whole production is awesome. I really hope somebody will brush the recording (encode) and put it on a DVD. This Norma is much better than what we have from more illustrious sopranos. I love Monserrat, but though she was awesome in Norma she did not have such a good Polione or Adalgisa...Poor Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5880166.post-66685555796301037592014-06-19T13:53:20.401+01:002014-06-19T13:53:20.401+01:00I heard Elinor Ross from 1961 at Grant Park in Chi...I heard Elinor Ross from 1961 at Grant Park in Chicago until her retirement. She remains one of the very few real dramatic sopranos. I can think of no other soprano who has given me greater pleasure than she.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5880166.post-83029487150460200982014-01-12T23:48:53.895+00:002014-01-12T23:48:53.895+00:00What a pleasure to hear the 1967 "Norma"...What a pleasure to hear the 1967 "Norma" and to hear Elinor's own words in the interview. The greatest singers are real people, facing real struggles.
