This shows why she was and always will be the Queen. She KNEW how to sing. . .free flowing breath, unlocked jaw. . if anyone wants to learn how to do it right, watch this lady. God Bless you always Joan!

Je l'adore et spécialement quand elle chante Les Puritains, un de mes opéras préférés.

Merci

la cadenza virtuosistica a 0:31, non è proprio scritta così a dire il vero

I don't why but I have a feeling that the old singers like her were pretty good in what they did but I don't feel the same hearing "new" singers

[GliOminiVerdi]

[bubbilius]

Her technical ease is just breathtaking. Sheer joy!

[thomastmwc]

@bubbilius ya, technical ease, exactly

[dutchtallguy]

Dame Joan in her days of glory. Brava.

[MrChrya]

@dutchtallguy Happily the rest of the performance can be experienced on a dvd called "Joan Sutherland - The Complete Bell Telephone Hour Performances 1961-1968" on VAI. It is astonishing stuff. Seek it out and you'll be soooo well rewarded!

[Iareto]

Truly wonderful. She's just a freak of nature vocally and you can't help but feel happy listening to the ease of her vocals. The drama's important, but it shouldn't be placed in front of the music.

[iosonmedea]

Is that so? So she could be singing anything...I think she betrays the essence of melodramma.
