The Milanese soprano Clara Petrella was a superb singer with a beautiful voice, looks to match and an explosive dramatic temperament that earned her the title "The Duse of singers". Her portrayal of Manon Lescaut has a vividness I don't always find in her recordings and" In quelle trine morbide" is well nigh flawless, suggesting that a great international career would have been hers for the asking. To quote Harold Rosenthal, "She is that rare thing, a completely convincing singing actress."
