ROBERTA PETERS SINGS OPERATIC ARIAS (SPEC 1031)

Roberta Peters, for many years one of the top operatic stars of New York's Metropolitan, is presented here in her debut recordings from the fifties, digitally restored, and available on CD for the first time. Renowned for the brilliance of her soprano voice and most agile coloratura, she is heard here in arias that demonstrate her gift and abilities to perfection. For the many admirers of Miss Peters, this CD will be much welcomed - and not before time - while to those few who have not known the pleasure of her voice, it will come as a revelation.
