  • I still remember the day I bought the LP (*LOL) of this recording, put it on, and was BLOWN AWAY. Sybil Sanderson (the originator of the role) could never have had a voice anything like 'La Stupenda.' After listening to this opera, it became my favorite among French Grand Operas - and, precisely because it is so difficult, no one (of any worth) has done it since Sutherland. Thank God we have her recording!!! RIP, Dame Joan.

  • Joan Sutherland thought this her finest role and who could disagree?

  • No role ever suited Joan's prodigious vocal armoury than Esclarmonde.

  • this is terribly hard to perform...brava joan sutherland

  • I would love to be able to see the looks on the members of the orchestra's faces when she began to sing this in the recording :)

  • @esclarmonde1 Oh I can think of someone on youtube.....not me though!!!!! I think this role was perfect for her voice - no one has or will ever be able to sing it as well as she did!

  • @raigekimaru

  • verdi wrote this after listening to dame joan sutherland via a crystal ball that could see and hear into the future =D

  • This role was perfect for Joan's voice.

  • Sempre "La Stupenda"! Mille Grazi Dame Joan!
