From the Archives: Soprano Eileen Farrell.
Soprano Eileen Farrell. At the age of 75, she's had a long career: she began in radio, with her own show on CBS, in the forties. In the fifties she started singing opera, and has performed with every major opera company and symphony orchestra in the U.S., including five seasons with the Metropolitan Opera in New York. She has also been a professor of music at Indiana University and the University of Maine. Starting in the sixties, she began putting out albums of jazz standards. Terry spoke to her in 1992 after the release of her album, "It's Over." (Reference Recordings RR-46CD) Farrell's other recent album is "Here" (Elba Records.). Her newest album -- and she says her last -- is "Love is Letting Go,: (DRG Records). (REBROADCAST Originally aired 7/9/92)
