		Born Zinka Kunç in Zagreb, Milanov began her vocal training with the Wagnerian soprano Milka Ternina (the first Tosca at Covent Garden and the Met).
		She did not come into her own vocally until she was in her forties (an age at which many singers of later generations started to fail vocally), and gave her final Met performance when she was 60.
		In addition to being a great singing artist, Milanov was a fine teacher, looking not only to train young voices and help “mend” older voices, but committed also to a rebirth of the singing art.

		Zinka Milanov is a singer I came to in my youth, but through her recordings, as I never had the occasion to hear her on stage, nor to hear her in any Metropolitan Opera Broadcasts.
		milanov, not atypical of the second golden age of opera, possessed a callas-esque temperment and a voice of astonishing depth.
		Zinka Milanov represents the type of voice current writers describe as "from the golden age", and indeed this recording offers an invaluable document from the Metropolitan's roster of the 1940's and 50's.

	Verdi Forza del destino with Milanov
		Zinka Milanov, soprano (Donna Leonora di Vargas);, Jan Peerce, tenor (Don Alvaro); Leonard Warren, baritone (Don Carlo); Nicola Moscona, bass (Padre Guardiano).
		Milanov's Leonora is documented in a complete 1958 RCA recording that also starred Giuseppe di Stefano as Alvaro, Leonard Warren as Carlo, and Giorgio Tozzi as Padre Guardiano.
		But by the time of this recording, Milanov was entering the latter phase of her career and was somewhat past her best.

		As the leading dramatic soprano at the Met during her time, she was entrusted with this great role at a time when there was no one able to sing it.
		Milanov does some very beautiful things here, and in several instances she reveals aspects of her art barely hinted at in any of her later commercial recordings made for RCA in the 1950's.
		The voice is frequently ravishing in tone, and most surprisingly, she injects a passion and venom into her interpretation (especially in the last act) that one would have not imagined her capable in her later years.

		Zinka Milanov (soprano); Kerstin Thorborg (mezzo-soprano); Helge Roswaenge (tenor); Nicola Moscona (bass)
		Zinka Milanov, heard here early in her career (she's also on the 1940 performance and she's better there), is in secure, lovely voice, particularly (as we might guess) in long, pianissimo passages.
		In 1940 she sounds more like the Milanov we know; here she can be a bit light and tentative (in middle and low passages), if bright-voiced.

		"When referring to Milanov, who was then in her fifties, the writerof the article in Time magazine many years ago centering on Tebaldi and Callasmentioned that as far as sheer beauty of voice was concerned, [Milanov’s] was still the most beautiful.
		It was luminous, had an amazing ability to blend with the strings of the orchestra, and seemed to come from no place at all, but swim around and fill every contour of the hall.The sound of this particular voice, to me the most beautiful of all voices, continues to fill me with increasing wonder.

	Biography - Zinka Milanov (Bio 1653) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		With her stately stage deportment and unflappable sense of her own greatness, Milanov was one of the last great divas, quick to tell the story of admirers who came to see her in La Gioconda just to hear her float her famous pianissimo B flat at the end of the first act.
		She was born Zinka Kunc (koontz) and used that name until she married actor Predrag Milanov in 1937.
		Her opera debut was as Leonora in Il trovatore in Ljubljana in 1927, and became a lead soprano with the Zagreb Opera, often traveling to sing in other parts of Europe.

		Milanov was especially dazzling as Gilda in a concert performance of the last act of Rigoletto at Madison Square Garden to benefit the US war effort in 1944.
		Then Milanov returned to her native Yugoslavia, which was just being liberated from the Nazis by Marshal Tito.
		After the war Milanov divorced and remarried (not Tito.) Toscanini was offended by Milanov’s divorce, something which he adamantly opposed although he saw nothing wrong with affairs.

	Zinka Milanov (soprano) Preiser 89593 [JW]: Classical CD Reviews- Dec 2004 MusicWeb-International (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		Croatian-born Milanov followed a well-trodden route from provincial opera houses to the German Theatre in Prague, in 1936, and thence to Vienna where her debut was conducted by Bruno Walter.
		Her Casta diva is beautifully done though the lower part of the voice does sound just a shade matronly but it was a voice she could scale down with perfect precision and dramatic verisimilitude, as witness Mira, o Norma.
		Apparently Milanov always reckoned Tacea la notte placida with Margaret Roggero one of her finest records and it is indeed a thriller.

		Comment: Zinka Milanov is usually praised for her "floating pianissimi." This recording shows that she could do much more than that.
		Even when she retired from the stage in 1966, Milanov still had a beautiful voice, all thanks to her excellent technique.

		Zinka Milanov's Ethiopian princess is outstanding, full of marvelous touches and ravishing pianissimos--as well as a few minor rough spots.
		Going down the cast list: Milanov, whose voice could float beautifully on top but sound somewhat base and hollow further down her range, is a surprisingly good Aida, curbing her tendency to elongate notes beyond their written length except for a couple of instances.
		Zinka Milanov, was in fact, 52 at the time of this recording, and may have lost a little of the steadiness she had a few years before, but very little else.

		As there are relatively few Milanov recordings currently available, this Preiser CD of commercial recordings made from 1945-1953 is of great importance.

		"Considering the fact that Milanov was the leading Verdi soprano at the Metropolitan Opera for over 30 years, it is puzzling how few recordings of her work exist, and how few examples there are of her best singing.
		Preiser Records has done a first-rate job of re-mastering some of her superlative achievementswhich were recorded in 1953, when her voice was at its zenith.

		This recording is sometimes stated as being of a performance given by the MET on tour in New Orleans, but this appears to be incorrect as it is not listed in the MET Annals, although both Milanov and Del Monaco were singing in La forza del destino at the MET about this time.

		A diva whose voice one day, when you are in your twilight years, you will hear-- and the tears will well up within you, and you will remember what it was like to be young and foolish and happy.
		Unlike many operaphiles I had the luck to grow up in a household permeated by opera: my musically cultivated parents take their vocal music seriously.
		The first singing that I recognized a "face" to was Baker's: "It was a lover and his lass," and then a BBC broadcast of "Erlkoenig" that held me (intuiting the precipices stretching avid before my youth?) riveted in a hotel room in London.
