Eleanor Steber sings Sieczynski’s Wien, du Stadt meiner Träume live at the Continental Baths (April 10, 1973)
I cannot help imagining the great soprano, then aged 57, surrounded by scantily clad gay men as she sang an exacting program that included Fiordiligi’s Come Scoglio and Tosca’s Vissi d’arte.
Eleanor Steber sings La Forza del Destino (1952)
Eleanor Steber sings Alban Berg's Sieben Frühe Lieder (1962)
The fourth song, "Traumgekrönt," is a setting of a poem by Rainer Maria Rilke, who was born on this day in 1875.
Hjördis Schymberg and Eleanor Steber sing Le Nozze di Figaro, conducted by Fritz Busch (1947)
The amazing Eleanor Steber sings Tosca (1949)
Eleanor Steber and Carlo Bergonzi sing Tosca (1959)
Deeply attached as I am to Bergonzi's studio Tosca with Callas and Gobbi, I consider this 1959 version (also starring George London as Scarpia) as one of the best recordings of the opera ever made.
The indomitable Eleanor Steber actually sings the notoriously unsingable Star-Spangled Banner (1960).
