[LohengrinT]

Gorgeous singing and gorgeous E6

[mrluistena]

Just art, she was art pure art.

[MrFalconford]

The High E is the call of the Goddess.

[bellini7verdi]

RADIANTE HAST ALA MUERTE..........SIEMPRE LO MAS GRANDE DLE MUNDO VOCAL............

[MrStpendouslvforjo]

I've been away for almost year......No NOT incarcerated....just ensconsed in the "Prison of LOVE.......(a relationship) lol.......and I just wanted to say that really....as I read comments from various sites (on You Tube) I am actually qite impressed with the general level of intellegent remarks and critiques I am impressed ! I wanted to say that I am CRUSHED in regards to Joans' passing this world is a lot WORSE without her...To me she was The radient glory of VOICE in ALL THE WORLD

[bitterclevelander]

The high E at the end sounds like the high E Sutherland nailed at the end of "Da te questo a m'è concesso" from Verdi's Attila. No need to stitch it onto this performance like some second-rate communist propaganda fake photo. For shame. RIP, Sutherland, the greatest soprano of all time.

[AOG93]

@bitterclevelander I would saw like a third rate capitalist propaganda... ONE of the best sopranos...

[teatrumuzical]

what voice.....such amanzing....RIP

[Pywacket2]

Luciano is just a bambino in that photograph.

[skitzo429]

why would anyone waste their time making this fake version of this? I have the recording of elixer of love this is from, theres no high E, she comes down from the B and stays there

[spiritenorp]

this does Joan no justice. The singing is stunning but she already had descended from the b to the lower e. She had a high e at this point in her career but musically she would never had made this choice to go up after that. The woman was perfection personified. Why bothering tampering with it?

[Richiesutherland]

Okay, this is, of course, a total fake. Sutherland never sang Adina onstage EVER, so this is the Decca recording, where she (as you can hear here) takes a high B and then descends. Grafted onto this is a high E from some other source (Joan DID occasionally sing high Es). The applause is, of course, fake, because she never sang this aria in a live performance. Nonsense. Honestly, why do you waste your time and ours?

[GylchrisSprauve]

Fake...Joan always did that half-step turn before every high note.  Where is it in this recording? I know she had an E, but she'd never approach it this way. The sound editor gets an "A" for attempt!

[Drelnis]

For the person who's thumbing me and others down, can you please clarify your case and tell the rest of the world how you think THIS IS NOT A FAKE HIGH E???

[Drelnis]

And the owner of the video is right in his comment, it is an "impossible high E" XD

[Drelnis]

Wait, is this fake? Sounds really fake though.

It is not within tradition to sing it like this!

To sing B below soprano C then sing E below soprano C then sing B below soprano C AGAIN then sing high E is just obsurd! Sutherland would never have done such a thing.

If she wanted to take a breath before the E, she could have done so, this is just purely fake.

[Nater389]

Sounds like she went low, and then the high E overtakes the note she actually sang. Bad piece of sound editing. However, it would be fantastic if this was real. What a response from the audience. It would be like Pavarotti said though, "When I sing live, the high D is not in my throat." Just like the high E to Sutherland.

[VirnAlfakyn]

Sutherland sang plenty of high E's live.

[ChrisStockslager]

I wonder what he meant by that?

[ladivina2]

my mistake its an E!!!!!!!!!!!

[sediziosevoci]

When did she sing Adina on stage? Is this a fake?

[Jabe88]

yup it is!

[micioamilano]

it's not a fake! She sang the role only in studio with Pavarotti and Spiro Malas for DECCA as always

[Richiesutherland]

And on the recording, she goes down, as she should, at that point. Do you think nobody knows these famous recordings?

[micioamilano]

sorry for what I wrote down there...yes the final E is a fake!!

[Hako2004]

It's an E, and sounds like the E from her studio recording of the big aria from Verdi's Attila.....circa 1960.

[royalbattle]

Are you sure that she didn't sing the role in Australia while touring with Pavarotti. Also this splicing job is BAD and if this is what an E flat sounds like at the end of the aria, it should be left alone. It doesn't do the piece justice. There are tons of places through out the opera to interpolate. Plus the E flat does go well for dramatic purposes at all....just shows off a show boating soprano.

[Orbazzano]

Ma la Sutherland Adina non l'ha affrontata solo in studio?? Questa è una recita dell'opera dal vivo? o un recital?

[Jabe88]

no e un recital... e falso

[Coloraturissimo]

hahahaa!!! great job!! thanks. C.

[63Attila]

The not is not an E it is a Db or D. She could

have sung it in her sleep.

[albertogrilo]

No it's a E...

An amazing hagh E

[LaStupenda]

What opera is this from? I see the picture is from "Fille du Regiment".

[Coloraturissimo]

It' s rom L'Elisir d'Amore! First Adina'a arietta, when she's reading about Isolda's magic potion. :))

[andreasscholl]

OMG this is sooooo WOOOOOW!!!!!

Let any other singer do this.

NONE...I tell you that!

Hail La Stupenda.

[tklogan11809]

Sutherland really didn't sing the E at the end of this, it has been edited to include the note at the end, I was fooled too. As nectenorboi09 pointed out, she never sang this in public. Whoever edited this however, should've left at lest 2 seconds between notes. This sounds impossible even for the great Joan.

[aragall77]

Agree

[spsp2sp3sp3dsp3d2]

The audio was also edited to make this sound live.

[nectenorboi09]

Lol, that's quite the splicing job you did there... I've often wished Sutherland had in fact thrown in a high E natural at the end of this number in the studio recording of the opera, but she was at this point not too fond of notes above E flat. Too bad she never did the role on stage... would have made for some fun real live recordings.

[tklogan11809]

brava LA STUPENDA!
