London, April 30, 1965 w/ Donald Smith
Amy Shuard studied with Eva Turner and was widely regarded as her successor. She had a beautiful voice that could rival Corelli's in size and ring (in-house recording of Turandot from Covent Garden from 1966) but was a somewhat unreliable performer. Here, she is superb - but in Naples she got booed so brutally that she quit after act II.
Donald Smith was an excellent Calaf.
