About

ZINKA MILANOV (1906-1989)

“Zinka Milanov as Aida…turned phrases so eloquently that they became not merely acceptable musical phrases, but heart- storming expressions of emotion” Cecil Smith reporting on Milanov’s debut in Chicago, 1940.

For many years one of the richest opera houses in the world, The Metropolitan Opera could afford to contract some of the greatest voices ever to be heard in any theatre. One such voice was that of Zinka Milanov. Milanov’s voice was an outstanding dramatic soprano: a relaxed and resonant lower register, beautiful, full bodied and warm middle tones, coupled with a brilliant upper extension, which she could soften at will to produce superb floated pianissimi. During performances her fans would wait anxiously for such an effect, which Paul Jackson refers to as ‘Milanov Moments’ in his excellent book Saturday Afternoons at the Old Met.

For this CD compilation Prima Voce has chosen excerpts from four operas in which she had great success, and which show the various aspects of her vocal prowess to advantage. When listening to her here, it is indeed possible to accept the truth of the assertion that audiences would not hear anything quite like her again.
