Exquisitely beautiful. IMO the greatest voice of all time.

Refined, elegant, beautiful. Where is such singing now?

I love this - Dame Joan is perfection ;)

Early Joan Sutherland like this is perfection! Thanks for posting
-
I'm sorry, Joan, I couldn't hear you over your massive headgear.

Jesse Norman is a conceited unpleasant woman. Completely self absorbed. She will never have the great career that Joan had.

@kavallan Perhaps she had no choice in jaws...

Wonderful, thank you for sharing

XXX Factor . Was she really 80 when she performed this?
'Look at my works ye mighty and despair'
Better when she was younger, but ........

Excellent, but go to Jesse Norman's rendition & compare.

Joan's ability to float such a ravishing vocal line is an object lesson to all singers in breath control and support. The ease of production, beauty of tone and shaping of line are all superlative. Notice how Richard never plays for Joan with the lid fully closed (in this case it is fully open!) as her full tone always carries effortlessly over the piano (and any sized orchestra, for that matter).

There's a huge different...
Callas can act but Sutherland can sing!!!!
I think that Callas should have learnt something from her!
