Sadly, Sutherland had lost it by 1979, the voice had developed a beat and sounded mushy and matronly in the middle register - a far cry from the brilliant voice of 1959 when she stunned the world with a Lucia di Lamermoor that will probably never be equaled.

This was 1979 ! I've seen and heard better quality from broadcasts of 1949!!

Se non fossero comparse queste due favolose artiste,molto del belcanto ottocentesco nel nostro secolo non avrebbe avuto la giusta quadratura e connotazione.

Bonynge is one of the worse conductor ever seen and heard... It seems he doesn't know what is his doing. His fortune was to be her husband. I have his version of Coppelia (a very rich and elegant score)... just terrible!
