[1962 Concert] 'Son vergin vezzosa'ㅡJoan Sutherland

[binxbinxopera87]

davvero stupenda!!!

[philipc67]

Brilliant coloratura technique of course, and for a change the diction is not that bad. The conducting is, at best, amateur (is this early Bonynge?) , the tempo way too fast, the ending like listening to a park band.

[Richiesutherland]

@philipc67 The conductor of this concert is Fulvio Vernizzi, and he is on a tear throughout. The end of "Sempre Libera" in the same concert is a race to the finish!

[Eiswirth]

Without question the greatest soprano of all time. He voice was other-worldly; so beautiful, so ridiculously, technically perfect. It never fails to send shivers up my spine.

[OLIVCHEN77]

SHE IST ONE OF THE GREATEST SINGERS OF ALL THE TIME

BRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAVVVVVVVVVVVV­VAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

[ikklemikkle]

The best!

[mrantiquedealer]

The Italians get all upset because she beat'em at their own game but she's the greatest of them all from that period and without a doubt there has been no one since! Certainly time will attest to that!

[sediziosevoci]

@mrantiquedealer Upset? Of course we are upset when a form of art like opera is diminished to a circus performance. Listen the band-like effect at the end of this piece.

[iriisblue]

@sediziosevoci It's a bit brisk, but take it up with the conductor. The discussion was the supremecy of the singing, which is indisputably supreme.

[lhrlyc]

i love this - I was lucky enough to catch her onstage one time towards the end of her career [Esclarmonde at Covent Garden]

[BGSourgas]

Brava!

[petelovesbevsills]

If there is still anybody stupid enough to question why Joan was called the "Voice of the Century" this should put an end to their stupidity! Bravo Joan and Vivia diva!!!!!!!!

[Orbazzano]

Non esistono parole umane per descrivere il suo canto. Divina.

[viafilodrammatici]

Joan Sutherland at her best.

[tklogan11809]

I only have two words: LA. STUPENDA.

[64marc64]

That kind of singing is out of this world!!! Amazing!

[Klassizismus]

Only one word: WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Hako2004]

Dame Joan tosses this music off like she doesn't know it's supposed to be difficult. The high D's are beautiful and thrilling. Thanks for the post!

[Jabe88]

I love this recording...

[hisimperialmajesty]

This is flabbergastingly gorgeous. Absolutely not enough words to describe this. Thank you so much.
