  • omg omg!!! La Stupenda all the way...

  • It really pleases me that you all are enjoying these excerpts .... I've been enjoying them privately for the past 29 years ... I'm delighted to be able to share them, at last.

  • And I found just the opposite. I enjoyed Sills' singing at first, but the all-purpose Girl Scout look, the sort of Eydie Gormé flirtation with the audience, the Beverly Bounce, even in the most serious moments, the thinness of the voice (at first I loved the openness of the voice, but it got way too brash) all got on my nerves after a while. She was a fun artist with great technical ability, but I found the act a bit cheap and predictable after a while.

  • Stop comparing Mado Robin with Dame Joan Sutherland! Two different voices, techniques and calibers! It's ridiculous, what a waste of time.

  • Halina Mickiewiczówna owns this aria: watch?v=FAVBC4Cgf4s

  • @ioSonoCallas C'est la véhicule de Diana Durbin en face de Bing Crosby.

  • @Richiesutherland Haha. You're very right and very funny. The first time I saw her was the "missing wine glass Traviata" in 74 which was substituted for Maralin Niska's Medea. She was an Act I Violetta, and I don't seem to remember her even suggesting that she was ailing. Act II was dull and forgettable, and "Addio del passato" was sung very cheerfully with a kind of wincing smile. It seemed like she couldn't wait to die so she could head go over to O'Neal's for pasta after curtain calls.

  • Ce n'est vraiment pas le meilleur de Dame Joan! Ce n'est qu'une exhibition de cocottes du plus mauvais goût! On est très loin du personnage de Mireille et du grand art de la coloratura auquel nous avait habitué la grande Joan Sutherland!

  • Tetrazzini es 1000 veces mejor

  • What a lady, what a singer! Who would find someone like her these days?
