In the late 1960s, 1970s and 1980s, CBS Masterworks recorded solo recital albums with a number of opera stars, many at the height of their careers, that are both important recorded documents and regularly requested for reissue. Fans of Beverly Sills will delight in this recording of French and Spanish songs by the famed American soprano. Many selections are making their first compact disc release, and some tracks are being made available for the first time ever!

"I was always so happy when I was singing in French. I remember that the opportunity to record the French songs of Plaisir d'Amour came as a wonderful change of pace for me from the loony ladies of Donizetti and Bellini. Kosty was the kind of man who had such a good time on the podium that it was infectious. I look back on everything I did with him as being an awful lot of fun. I just loved him."
