@Hako2004 Indeed. She recorded this piece for her 1959 Baroque Arias LP and in 1963 for the Age of Bel Canto (this recording). There is a high D in the earlier version, but I prefer her interpretation in this version. Both are exceptional bits of her work.
Thank you Dame Joan Sutherland!

What a career this woman had, thrilling so many people for so long! This just shows why she was named La Stupenda!

I believe there is an earlier version, with an interpolated high D just touched at the end.

Weird, I've never heard this one. It's different from the Art of Joan Sutherland version. What year was this?
