Petrucci Library (the most awesome site in the world, barring La Cieca and Manga Fox) finally has a copy of the score for Bellini's last gift to humanity: I Puritani. Granted, the copy is a little bit blurry but nevertheless one must be thankful. Merry Christmas!
And while I do think the late and lamented Dame Sutherland's version of the polonaise in The Art of The Prima Donna album is basically the most ideal, Mme. Sills (another recent major loss to coloratura-dom) comes close with her infectious voce ridente, intelligent variations and that! - that beautiful trill. You flaunt it, girl!
