Joan Sutherland - Lucia di Lammermoor - 1972

I think you are absolutely right....Her physique WAS heroic....You really understand this subject

Could there be a better voice in this world? I've been listening to this incredible woman for 27 years now, and i'm still well in English we have this silly word....flabbergasted! (or should I say: "in American" we have this word lol)? I Find her fascinating; in the 50's she had a voice absolutely bright and accurate and pristine, in the 60's a voice of tremendous power and unflagging stamina (and mushy diction sorry joan! lol ) then around '71 '72 emerged MY favortite...simple perfection ...

No voice or technique is above criticism, but Sutherland's was
the most remarkable voice of the last century.  I still shake my head in amazement at what she could do....and for so long.
The instrument itself, a perfect extension of her heroic physique, was a miracle of nature.

This was the role that put Sutherland on the map! She's a singing machine! Her voice is not my favorite but in this role she is excellent.

Brava !!!

That's a big part of what made her voice so rare....beautiful brillliant tone at the very top..... with power.

I agree with that, the 70s were the best for her!!! Now, could somebody tell me please WERE CAN I GET THIS DVD???? I can't find it in the internet and this is driving me crazy!

Bravissima!

In my opinion, the 70s were the best years of her voice.

Vocalement ,Incontestablement la plus grande. Sans rivales.
