  • There is no point comparing Sutherland and Caballe and Callas and Sills, they were all great artists. Sutherland's voice was a wonder of nature, can there be any question? More important, Sutherland said that Donna Anna did NOT have any kind of affair or attraction to Giovanni, although everyone today says there was. She said Non mi dir has the most beautiful, honest melody, not the singing of a liar. I agree with her.

  • This woman is incredible. I don't know if she was the best Donna Anna, but her singing couldn't be more perfect hear. Mozart would have written operas for her.

  • @operfanpadova Probabilmente ti devi sentire anche la Gruberova in questo pezzo... Sicuramente più "di riferimento" e miglior coloratura di questa

  • davvero incredibile, nel rondò finale è strepitosa: che nitidezza, che precisione: L'ESECUZIONE DI RIFERIMENTO PER TUTTI DI QUESTO PEZZO. Nella prima parte un legato ed un fiato pazzesco.....perfino la callas in questo pezzo passa in secondo piano rispetto a Joan: GRANDIOSA.

  • Oh, geez, she's wearing one of those dresses you could fit a circus under. Great singing, if a little stiff. I don't really sympathize with Sutherland's Anna.

  • @wotan10950 Earlier in the opera Donna Anna describes to Don Ottavio what happened in her room: a man entered her room and at first she thought it was Ottavio himself, but then he covered her mouth to keep her from screaming and she only escaped rape by struggling desperately. I like that Sutherland described "Non mi dir" as an honest melody... it's the perfect word!

  • She sings absolutely impeccably, but it is very heavy for the Mozart style in fashion nowadays.

  • This is very thrilling. Hearing a voice of that size and warmth doing the coluratura and, of course, the sustained passages, make this performance unique. She is not doing any superficial acting which is so common in modern productions. All of the drama of the piece comes out in her voice. No silly faces or forced histrionics just pure vocal drama! Brava, Dame Joan. Requiescat in pace.

  • Sontuosa, elegante, linea morbidissima, canto miracolosamente sul fiato! E che volete di più?! Joan, sei la più grande!

  • you go girl!!!!!!
