Fantastic! She was one of the best. My favorite for sure. Her high notes and coloratura give me the chills. And it's so wonderful to see someone perform who was so obviously in love with what she was doing.
This jaw action is ...( 7 months ago by CountertenorJ)
This jaw action is caused by basal-tongue or jaw tension. With as much sub-glottal pressure as it takes for a such a large voice to sing so high, unless one maintains impeccable support this wobble of the jaw slowly creeps in over time. The slower and wider vibrato (than her earlier recordings) are a bi-product of this tension, which is one reason by Ms. Sills retired a little earlier than some opera singers did.

even if her technique or timbre isn't perfect, she makes up for it by looking like she's having fun, which is the purpose of this song

Actually, when a soprano sings it (besides Callas) it is in F most times. That is the case here as well.

that's not true. ...( 5 months ago by JuillHope17)
that's not true. the more POPULARIZED versions are in the key of F, but in actuality: it is more often performed in teh original key (E), because of the movement of most major opera houses to stick to what was originally written, so people usually try to dig up an amazing mezzo, and they have the person sing it in E. it's really not in F most times at all, also because it's hard to find a coloratura that does the piece true justice without showing off TOO much, which takes away usually.

I was saying that when a non-mezzo sings it, it is most commonly found in the key of F. Most soprano versions I've heard are in F.

I think her interpretation of the cavatina, along with Callas' and maybe Gheorghiu's or Sutherland's, are the best found. This is the first time i really LISTEN to Beverly Sills and her voice is not small, it only seems like it 'cause she was a lyric coloratura and they sound sweet, light and youthful.
