Joan Sutherland - Son vergin vezzosa

[ian1856]

Joan is, of course, splendid, but isn't it great to hear young Luciano chirping along? What a team. And, by the way, how can anyone dislike this???

[Dianaemanuel]

Splendido! What an amazing performance.

[CaptFitzbattleaxe]

One of the few truly complete "Son vergin vezzosa"s and one of the most delightfully and tastefully ornamented.

This recording just never gets old.

[TheMierdaaskerosa]

cuánto la echo de menos!

[etoiledelkirov]

[FloriaTosca90]

The best ever

[bellini7verdi]

como los pinos canarios...que crecen en las cumbres de nuestras islas....canario como nuestros pinos...arraigado a la tierra y a todo lo que es grande y hermoso.......

[operakiet]

[istreamda9te]

eww....who would "Dislike" this?!? This is absolutely brilliant = )

[dudess4rent]

For those who argue about who's better or why this is substandard to you - please post your own singing so we can see if you are any good. I dare you.

Singing is a humbling art; no good singers are cocky for a good reason. None singer critics have ruined countless careers by creating this idea of perfection. Art can not be compared, so sing or shut up.

[55patri]

Estupenda !!!!!!

[bellini7verdi]

efectivamente era una total dramatico coloratura de amplio espectro vocal.handel le huviera bajado la luna y venus para ponerselas a sus pies.y si rossini huviera escuchado su semiramide en la voz de sutherland se huviera vuelto loco

[matthieusarah]

Is this a recording with Pavarotti? Sounds like his voice in the male voices we hear?!

[OrpheuCe]

@matthieusarah yes it is Pavarotti, Capuccili and Ghiaurov´s voices...the mezzo im not sure ....

[heartstrings76]

This is so beautiful!!!

[zenzero62]

Brava!

Mi piace molto anche Amelita Galli Curci.

[thomastmwc]

this version is the best EVER. June Anderson's comes 2nd.

[jirizika1962]

Oh God, who conducted this recording? The exact worst way killing bel canto operas, shallow barrel organ aproach. And followed with canary bird singing..... Fortunately we have Serafin´s recording with several excellent and more receptive sopranos (e.g. V.Zeani), so we can enjoy this nice cabaletta.

[thisizjoey]

wow...not even callas or caballe could top this

[raigekimaru]

@thisizjoey

that's because Callas was a strange fusion of lirico spinto and mezzo and Caballe was a lyric. only Joan was a dramatic coloratura

[Lohengrin]

- costume 5/5 stars

- hair 5/5 stars

- facial expression 5/5

- gesture 5/5

- singing 5/5

- ornaments 5/5 (thats truly rare)

This is a very rare all 5/5

[JuillHope17]

ornaments aren't rare in this... they were intended by the composer although not written.

[Lohengrin]

u didnt get my point. Joan's ornaments usually are idiotic and overloaded written by her husband or some other untalented ornament writer. In this case they are beautiful ;) (rare for beauty not rare for ornaments)

[JuillHope17]

for almost every ornamentable aria she sang she has at least 3 different plans for each (if not more. for ah non giunge in sonnambula she had 5 options, all different or varied from the original) her good recordings and good performances that are noted in her history are usually the ones where she used her own. she was a very talented musician and had a great ear for ornaments.

[raigekimaru]

@JuillHope17

my favorite mini ornament is the "Lucia" ending she uses on most of her arias.. up M2, down a M2, down m2, up m2, up P4

it's kind of her signature =)

[BeatricediTenda]

@Lohengrin ... I AGREEE WITH YOU... She was incredible! FAREWELL JOAN! :)

[tetrazzini]

Reverenza Dame Joan !

[GliOminiVerdi]

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooh...

a M a Z i N g !

[clashguy]

Undoubtedly the most precise and exquisite Elvira of all.

[mijst4]

She is the best!

[mdancer01]

the voice is so clear of course when she recorded this at the 60s was even better

[kraber]

The best Elvira ever!. The way Sutherland sang this role is unique and unsurpasable. It is a real pleasure for the ears!. Thanks a lot bdl88again!

[remrom2]

BRAVO!  REMUS

[Hako2004]

A marvel of nature that voice.

[Jabe88]

Thanks a lot for sharing this recording...

Here her voice is creamier and bigger than that in the audio posted by LindoroRossini.

I prefer her here...

[nilsuthor]

This is just amazing! Thanks for sharing.

Long live La Stupenda.
