Without any previous experience of the operatic stage, she made her Metropolitan d?\\xaebut in Verdi's 'La forza del destino' opposite Caruso in 1918. Following her enormous success, she became the Metropolitan's leading soprano, appearing in twenty-one roles throughout her career. This first disc of Ponselle's 1923-1929 American recordings features arias from three Verdi operas, and includes a number of alternative takes unpublished on 78rpm.   'The Sunday Times' praised her voice as having \\\\richness and purity of tone, an evenness, a technical mastery and a keenness of rhythm... she combined them with a flaming intensity that made her voice unique, the embodiment of the life force, even in quiet music (8.110728)''\u003cp\u003eO Patria Mia\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eErnani!
