A sad day for us Australians for we have lost a great ambassador. May the memories of your great performances live long on our heart. RIP Dame Joan.

[JasonDavis1969]

@steinwaygrande1 Not just Australia but the World.

We will all miss her.

[steinwaygrande1]

@JasonDavis1969 Yes indeed for she made friends where ever she went

[colino72]

I just love this. This and the Lucia sextet are my favourites, and in both cases, Pavarotti and Sutherland are just phenomenal. This is such a full on sing for the tenor, and many make a real hash of it.

[tneprescintr]

pavarotti's breath support is unbelievable...

[xklamation]

thank you Patrick for this wonderful share

[fastermx]

We'll never again hear this quartet as exquisitely performed as it is in this recording.

Just doesn't get better than this. A flawless performance by some of the greatest singers, ever. Every voice, and the blend, perfect.

There are some people, some talents (in a multitude of forms) who simply should NEVER DIE, or even get old!

I can listen to this every day and it'd never fail to give me goosebumps and a tingle in the scalp that feels like it'll fly right off my head. Every single time.

[xklamation]

absolutely, I feel the same.

[luizamoony]

Amazing! Pav is great!

[patrick96321]

Absolutely! But [forgive me] it's not a Db, it's just a C# ;-)

[Diamondpup]

Just?

[mll20829]

Db and C# are the same note

[patrick96321]

Of course they are the same note. I was attempting a little joke. That's why I put the "wink" emoticon ;-) at the end of the post.

[PointAndPurpose]

lol people have no sense of humor

[silvr94]

yes... on the piano that's true... but not for the voice and other instruments

[crimsontoxic]

@mll20829 In fact for  a singer there's a difference wether it's D flat or C sharp.

[MadAuralSkills]

@mll20829 they are enharmonic equivalents, however there are slight differences between the two notes depending on the context of key. A C# in the key of D major is slightly sharper than a Db in the key of of Ab major. People with absolute perfect pitch can tell the difference. Pianos have tempered intonation which is why C# and Db sound the same on them.

@patrick96321

Hahaha!^^

[Hako2004]

The interpolated high Db is dazzling as always, and now the music seems incomplete, to me anyway, without it.
