  • The whole thing is stunning, but the fluid run up to a dazzling high C ( 2:22 to 2:25 ) is supernatural. Thanks very much for the post.

  • no wonder she blew Covent Garden apart!! I just listened to this and then followed it by watching the YouTube video of her doing it at the Met in 1982 - nearly a quarter of a century later and the technique is still rock solid. What an artist...

  • Magnifiquement chanté, merci pour le post ...

  • esta voz no tiene control humano .....es simplemente abrumadora......que clase....vocal abbbbbbbbsoluta...............­imensamente gratificante......lo llena todo hasta dejarte o tirado por los suelos o elevado a las mas altas esferas..........incomprensibl­e.........un sonido fantastico...............incom­parable

  • @ChrisStockslager Oh, buy the whole album. Everything on it is this divine. Decca's Sutherland "Grandi voci" CD shouldn't cost more than a couple dollars; it includes the 1959 LP, two Art of the Prima donna excerpts and the 1963 Santo di patria.

  • Singing of the most limpid, expansive and spectacular kind. And what a finish - the mother of all high E flats!!!

  • She had a TERRIBLE sinus condition and her sinuses were literally OPENED UP surgically!

  • @gustopheles no problem

  • @tneprescintr Thanks for the info, I had no idea

  • @gustopheles she had a sinus operation to remove some sort of excess mucus, I believe. After that her voice began to sound darker and darker, which some people link to the procedure, as, I admit, I did.

  • @tneprescintr surgery? she had an operation to change her voice?

  • MUSICA DEL OLIMPO........................­..........DE FARAONES............CALIFAS...­.....Y EMPERADORES................COM­O SUS JARDINES Y PALACIOS..........COMO LO SPODERES Y MISTICISMOS CHINOS.........TODA UNA ORGIA DE COLOR VOCAL...............IMPRESIONA­NTE.Y GRATIFICANTE PARA EL ALMA..............VIVA EL ARTE....Y LAS CUALIDADES HUMANAS...COMO ESTA DE CANTAR......TODO UN UNIVERSO DE BELLEZA.....COMO DEMUESTRA ESTA VOZ DE JOAN SUTHERLAND
