June Anderson - LUCIA DI LAMMERMOOR (1983) - Mad scene Part 2

[CaptFitzbattleaxe]

Best E-flat I've heard from anyone who wasn't Joan Sutherland! Lovely performance.

Superb. I saw her as Lucia at the Athens Megaron in February 2002. In her 50th year then, she was excellent, singing the entire scene uncut, 2 huge E-flats, and such elegance in phrasing, the dramatic spaces, the pianissimi, the dreamy state she created!

She remains the best Lucia of our generation by far. Gruberova, Dessay, Netrebko et al could not come close.

la mejor interpretacion vocal y actoral, su voz se adapta perfecto al papel y ese mib sobreagudo increible, la mejor !

La prima volta che ascoltai June fu alla Fenice....stava male, ma nel teatro pochissimi se ne accorsero ed io pensai: che grande professionista! Brava!!!!!!!

[Caramellatta]

Perfection.

[panzhoxstyle]

a wonderful interpretation :D

[lokitrix]

She sounds like a lyric soprano, but she's a dramatic right???

I have watched this, along with part 3, so many times, but I NEVER tire of it! This is as close to operatic perfection as I can possibly imagine. Her acting, characterization, VOICE- unbelievable!

I agree operapazzo1 - that is THE most musically sensitive version of the mad scene I've heard. I love how she takes her time with each phrasewith some wonderful spaces. Natural acting as well. Anderson will be remembered thanks to true fans of great singing and this great tool, Youtube.

Thanks a lot, I just like to share what I love... to me she's the best here.

[operapazzo1]
