Yes, definite. This is from the 1989 Melbourne concert. Amazing, wasn't she? Joan was such a disciplined artist who protected her voice with common sense, a careful life-style and a real sense of needing to serve her art. This ensured that her voice remained fresh throughout her career. Some of the performances she gave in her last two or three years - especially that wonderful Lucrezia in Paris - were phenomenal for a woman of her age.

@vocalissimo1 That's amazing! She almost sounds identical to her studio recording of this from (I think) 1968. And that's even impressive for Joan! Btw, do you know where I can find the '89 Paris Lucrezia? I only have the Era desso from it, but I'd love to hear much more! :D

Are you positive this is the Melbourne concert mentioned above from '89? Her voice sounds almost too perfect to be 63 here.
