Do not stand at my grave and weep I am not there; I do not sleep. I am a thousand winds that blow, I am the diamond glints on snow, I am the sun on ripened grain, I am the gentle autumn rain. When you awaken in the morning's hush I am the swift uplifting rush Of quiet birds in circling flight. I am the soft starlight at night. Do not stand at my grave and cry, I am not there; I did not die.

Extraordinary...
La Stupenda o The incomparable...
Her secret...
Effortless, warm, vibrant...
Freely, powerfully, intensely...
Clarity and finesse...
Her voice was so naturally glorious...
Una diva

RIP Dame Joan Sutherland, and god bless you.
In the 1950's Maria Callas reopened the doors for the belcanto reportoire, but you sustained it for the next 30 years. Trills, scales, a soaring range, evenness of tone and a perfect legato line - your ubiquitous voice with it's agility and pearl timbre was perhaps not the most versatile - but where you stayed within your dramatic coloratura court you were incomparable; you were La Stupenda, the stupendous one.

@Homoclassicus You go, HC! Bonynge said he preferred her voice in later career, and I agree with him. Still opulent and rapturous but with more facets. The 1980 Covent Garden Lucrezia is absolutely one of best achievements, as was the 1984 Anna. The 1981 Lincoln Center Concert is, to my ear, without parallel.
What a load of rubbish you talk !
