Thank you, AmorediPazzia, so much for this collection! How wonderful to have that note strung together over the years. I REALLY enjoyed it.

[AmorediPazzia]

Thanks. :-)

Lately, I got other lucia recordings of Joan.

Venice in 1961, Chicago in 1961, Met debut in 26/11/1961, New Orleans concert-mad scene in 1965, another Hamburg one in 1971, CG in 16/5/1973, Puerto Rico in 1977, Amsterdam in 1982 and MET in 4/12/1982!!

So unbelievible , our poor Dessay is far so far from all that...

[Richiesutherland]

So much fun, and quite terrifying. Think, not just of the performances here, but of the over 200 times she also sang the role complete, and the concerts in which she sang the Mad Scene, and the endless rehearsals. Think how many times this dramatic soprano voice had to face that leap, and the percentage of times it was a miracle of technique and vocal endowment. And then add in all those other roles with multiple Ebs and Ds. And these were gigantic notes, not squeakis.

[ChrisStockslager]

Does anyone have a recording of the '73 Covent Garden Mad Scene they're willing to share on Youtube? I'd love to hear all of it, and am sure others would too!

[MrSwifts31]

It STILL makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand one end,and I have stood in the wings at Covent Garden and heard it on several occasions!

una verdadera locuraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

[bellini7verdi]

la voz mas esplendida e inabarcable del mundo.......gruesa...firme...c­ontundente...pletorica rica........toda una tesis de complexion vocal para las universidades

[LaStupenda]

@arturotenor76 It probably relates to the significant sinus surgeries she had at the time. We could have lost her, vocally, as early as 1960! Thank god we had her as long as we did. Still can't believe she's gone.

@iriisblue That photo was taken in connection with a gala performance at the Met on November 29th 1964. Schwarzkopf and della Casa sang the first act of "Der Rosenkavalier", Tebaldi the first act of "La bohème" and Sutherland the first act of "La traviata".

Farewell Dame Joan, the memories here are just magical.

[OperaTenor27]

RIP, Dame Joan.

[iriisblue]

LOVED THIS. The last Eb in alt, of course, because it is so opulent, round and beautiful on the eve of her 60th birthday. I have only one question, though. WHAT is Lisa Della Casa doing in the group photo with La Stupenda, Tebaldi and Schwarzkopf?

[gimmeachallenge]

1970 MET (5:30-6:02) , for sure. Voice was mature, but not too dark or droopy. The Ebs are volcanic in power, she sustains them for quite some time, and the trill preceding the first one is unreal. The fact that they are live, even better.
