Ponselle, Rosa. (1897-1981)
Signed Photograph as Carmen
Signed and inscribed vintage 8 x 10 inch doubleweight photograph of the great Soprano in an unusual photograph as Carmen. Small crease in right margin, else fine."Ponselle’s voice is generally regarded as one of the most beautiful of the century. She was universally lauded for opulence of tone, evenness of scale, breadth of range, perfection of technique and communicative warmth. Many of these attributes are convincingly documented on recordings. In 1954 she made a few private song recordings, later released commercially, revealing a still opulent voice of darkened timbre and more limited range." (Grove Online) (6088)
