Joan and Maria are two very different singers, SO what's all this fuss about comparing these two remarkable singers? Maria had contributed something to bel canto and so did Joan. High notes, low notes, diction or no diction, You shouldn't be comparing these two! Just Enjoy what they gave us and stop comparing!

@Eiswirth1 There's a little something to what you're saying. I think Callas a more superior artist than Sutherland, Callas's Tosca is undeniably the standard of today. But in this scene here, Sutherland understood full well Tosca's vulnerability, her fragility, whereas Callas sounded PO'd up the ying yang. Sutherland is so breathtaking here. Her diction is atrocious, but I never bought that she was not much of an actress. She certainly was convincing here... & yes, all she had to do was sit!

heavenly..I never understood why she didn't sing or just record more Puccini than the Turandot recording, great as it is

Watching Dame Joan sing Tosca is friggin' trippy.

@Sebastian94338 Go listen to Ghena Dimitrova singing this aria, and Anna Shafajinskaia, they sound like altos in lower register, but have stratospheric heights!!!

I love her voice, but my god! it's so hard understand what she says.

A lower octave? What are you talking about?

@timsuffolk and hitting the high note is really astouning. Of course it is sometimes unsteady but that is what she makes her unique apart from being a unique artist which i really do not see with Sutherland!
@simisimi9 Callas had to act well with that voice of hers... All Joan had to do was sing. No one could touch her.
