@bighoody0 Not quite my friend, but at 56 this is just stunning and even MORE so if she really did have a cold that evening! I agree with everything else you said even though I'm not a wild Dame Joan fan, but where praise is due let it be given.Brava Dame Joan. RIP.

STUPENDA!!!!!
-
One word... Perfection!
-
I cry for the beauty of the singing and this greatly missed singer of galactic talent. Vale Joan.
-
The rubato isn't exactly Handelian and her gown rather resembles a cabbage, but my, she's in glorious voice.
-
@bighoody0 that was incredible when she got to the end and the voice just PINGED with GLEAM to high D and then the power and amplitude of her voice just continued and the cameraman was great in that he went way out so as to show her getting smaller and smaller but the SIZE of the VOICE was just HUGE!! anyway, I had to comment....i know im a fanatic, but she is sooo incredibly AWESOME!

JoanSutherland is the best because she had all the qualities 100% 1 speed and accuracy 2.a perfect TRILL 3.Power and amplitude (never shrill) she had a soft-grained voice that filled the theatre 4.Excellent musical sense and a partner dedicated to the building and maintenece of her Instrument5.Extra Range and the voice grew in SIZE AND POWER as it went up past High C......

Sutherland is singing Morgana's aria here. That is the part that Dessay plays in the DVD from Paris, while in the 1959 recording Sutherland is Alcina not Morgana. I think Sutherland and Dessay are both brilliant in their own ways. I don't know why we love to criticise these artists and put one against the other. Why can't we just enjoy their tremendous artisry and voices and the different interpretations?

Did anyone mention that she ws in her sixties here ?? Dessay, in her - very good - rendition of the aria on stage was not even 40 !! let's listen to her in 20 years ! And go listen La Stupenda in her earlier recording of that aria in '59 - '60. No match !
