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

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!

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?
