Summary: In the late 1980s, the late Philadelphiaradio host Lucas Ernst conducted an interview with American mezzo-soprano Nell Rankin. They discuss her early studies, her audition for the Zurich Opera at the age of 23, her debuts at the Vienna State Opera, La Scala and the Metropolitan Opera, her career that spanned two eras of conductors, her working with coach and accompanist Conrad von Bose and her duet recitals with her sister Ruth. The listener will hear an aria from La forza del destino and a song by Brahms, In stiller Nacht (Part 1 of 2).
