I still miss her. No soprano can sing better than Sutherland. That’s what I dare to say !!! Of course, I like Callas,Tebaldi, Netrepko, Bartoli,Etc.,very much,too.
This music and performance has me in tears. The tone of the finest silver is married to a supreme technique and a musical bond with the music. Joan is one of Operas Glories. Thanks for posting. Regards-John
32 añitos.......y la mejor voz del mundo.......INCREIBLE.......la delicadeza vocal...junto al romanticismo....y la contenida potencia....para ser princesa.....que luego la llevaria a ser la REINA.......por 30 años y para siempre...para gloria de la opera.......
@sutherland4l Thank you so much for uploading this! What a special -- and rare -- treat to hear a young Sutherland. And one of my favorite arias, to boot. Thank you for sharing! It is much appreciated -
Wow- her intonation is amazing and her diction so clear. This me at the same time she made her debut in Don Giovanni as Donna Anna. Is there more?? Please let there be....It is glorious!
This would have been so perfect for her to have sung at her farewell in Australia - equally fitting as "No Place Like Home" - and more musically interesting.
Yes, it is a magnificent voice. But I am surprised by the amount of portamento she uses (carrying the voice between notes). Her husband, coach, and later conductor Richard Bonynge was very much a performance historian, and I wonder if he thought of this as the authentic style for songs like this of this period?
