Known for her powerful voice, impressive range, lyrical tone and stunning vocal pyrotechnics, mezzo-soprano Marilyn Horne is widely regarded as "the finest Rossini singer of her generation," and “the finest mezzo-soprano of modern times.” Her long and distinguished career has spanned more than 40 years, and her contributions to opera live on in her numerous recordings. In 2007, she was honoured by the Metropolitan Opera Guild as the first in a series of Met Legends who have left an indelible stamp on their art. As Raymond McGill notes, hers has been one of the most prodigious and remarkable careers of any classical musician in the past half century and her vocal achievements are now part of operatic history.
