Bthank Beardslee is a catalogue typo for Bethany Beardslee (1925-2023), the American soprano closely associated with twentieth-century and contemporary music.

Beardslee worked with composers including Milton Babbitt, Igor Stravinsky and Robert Craft, and became one of the leading interpreters of demanding modern vocal repertory. In the Pristine catalogue she appears in Berg conducted by Craft.

Her singing was precise, intelligent and fearless, with the rhythmic and intervallic security required by post-war modernism. This was music that needed a singer with a compass, not merely a pretty lantern.

This page is therefore kept as a practical cross-reference under the erroneous tag. The artist behind it is Bethany Beardslee, a significant figure in modern vocal performance.
