- Washington Post obit ("Mrs. Lear" is technically correct but she was married to the late baritone Thomas Stewart for 51 years, to her first husband for maybe four or five. The Times's choice of Miss Lear is much better.)

Evelyn Lear
Evelyn Lear, a great singer of both contemporary and older opera, died Sunday in Maryland. She was 86.
Sorry to read this. She and thomas Stewart did a wonderful recording of the songs of Charles Ives back in the 70s. I shall have to listen to it soon, in homage.
