Wonderful. She virtually spanned my late mother's life who was such a wonderful singer ( found some recording recently), although not on the same scale. So sad that generation, dying off.
Kiri Te Kanawa said she felt in awe of Sutherland's talents after appearing on stage several times alongside her. As time passed, the New Zealand soprano said she "felt that I didn't deserve a place beside her at all." La Stupenda, RIP
I have no idea why this recording hasn't received wider accolade. I've adored it since the day it was issued. Except for James Morris' hopelessly tepid version of MacHeath, the entire performance is a string of jewels.
In complete agreement with domi2020 below: it is wonderful to hear my two most favourite sopranos of the last decades in a recording together and to appreciate how their voices complement each other in this score - crystal and amber!

@raigekimaru Such an admirable and humble attitude from Kiri, dont you think? I also admire her as a great singer and human being.

I would feel the same way. singing with a goddess like sutherland would make me feel unworthy too

This opera is a hoot if you can get past the slurpy orchestrations. Angela Landsbury is great and Regina Resnik is is superb in a "old lady role."
