...York City Opera's prima donna and clearly ranks as one of the two or three finest coloraturas in the world. At the New York Phil harmonic Promenade Concert, she sings a selection of Viennese arias and songs by Kalman, Korngold, Mozart and Richard Strauss, displaying a faultless voice that sweeps with elaborate embellishments to feathery, accurate high notes. The audience goes wild and demands an encore. From Santiago, Buenos Aires, Vienna and London come frantic pleas for concerts.

With his retentive memory and faultless ear, he was soon whistling Paganini caprices in the original key while riding his bike or playing cricket...
