mcgovern and beverly sills. at one point, mcgovern was talking about her 4
or 5 octave range and then, five minutes later, was talking about how a
conductor had to lower some of the songs in 'three penny opera' because they
were to high for her. the look on sills' face was priceless. >>
well, I have MM's Gershwin CD and she has a high G above high C on the riff
she does in the middle of "By Strauss" (she's interpolated the FLEDERMAUS
waltz) and I was pretty amazed. Don't know just when that recording was
made, though.
