Eleanor Steber in Opera and Song [VHS]
Throughout her long and brilliant career in opera and on the concert stage, Eleanor Steber almost singularly defined the ideal American singer. Steber's appearances on the "Voice of Firestone" capture the soprano in her glorious prime, infusing a wide variety of music with her personal artisty. She was blessed with a naturally gorgeous tone, an unfailing technique and supreme musicianship that enabled her to move easily from style to style. In particular, Steber's pure legato and accuracy of tone made her an unparalleled interpreter of the music of Mozart.
