I love how she has a voice the size of a house, and yet she has such control over the sound. There's no one like Joan!

THE BEST!!!!

Such perfection, colaratura, ornamentation, range. So proud she is/was Australian. She made our Prime Minister (Paul Keating) weep in her farewell performance in Melbourne. This is such a joyous piece. I smile all the way through it just marvelling at her achievement.

Does anyone have any idea who designed the dress she is wearing in this video? I am simply taken with it and would love to know. Thanks!

The Tetrazzini 13 high Cs!

[Espritsdelair]

@CaptFitzbattleaxe Stupendous - I have come to expect the 13 now and am usually disappointed! Must confess I have only just counted them after your comment :)

[CaptFitzbattleaxe]

@Espritsdelair She said she added them spontaneously one night when she was feeling "a bit devilish." Blew Richard away, who didn't think she was even listening when he had played the Tetrazzini record years before.
