@SirEdgardo Frak of nature sounds harsh, but she was !! In the best sense of the word
-
What a great interview showing how down-to-earth Joan Sutherland was. Thanks for posting this.
-
@cmorgan22 She recorded the duet from the last act with Pavarotti in 1976.

I started saying "what sacrelege" after watching this interview =P

I feel the same way about lucrezia borgia. the music makes lucrezia sound like this heroic, majestic heroin (especially with Dame Joan singing) and seems out of place with the character. I suppose almost everything in opera is done heroically tho. even the villains have heroic sounding arias
-
What about the musical items - please post :)

Its funny that he questioned her about performing Wagnerian roles over bel canto. Because early in her career before she met her husband she was singing that kind of repertoire, but under the radar rather. They didn't propel her to overnight stardom. But when her husband really encouraged her to modify her repertoire, she became a sensation.

Dame Joan was a freak of nature and not all of us can understand and appreciate what that means. Brava and Stupenda indeed
-
Let's hope so ;) I mean, really...a critic would not even bother to mention "Elettra" - it is just not that well-known compared to "Elektra".

"What sacrilege!"

In Mr. Levin's defense, I don't think he was being rude, he was, as he said, being frank. The musical establishment of the time believed that history had handed down her verdict on the Bel Canto and found it wanting. I know from other, much later interviews that Levin was quite restrained here in his expressions of opinion of the "lesser" roles that Joan sang. What Joan really seemed to bristled at was the slap at Bonynge. 35 years later, We all know and appreciate Richard's importance.
