BTW, there is a video of Ms Jones and Catherine Malfitano singing Mahagonny that is very worthwhile for fans. Jones' voice is much diminished but still very expressive and suitable to the role.

this was wonderful thanks much.

@gordonlennox1 I have heard both ladies in Turandot live and GJ was by no means rivaled by the great GD...
each one held her own with the part... In pure decibel force (for whatever value this might have) Jones was somewhat stronger throughout in the performances I saw...
-
I had the great luck to hear her live many times in the late eighties and throughout the nineties when the voice could still pull out some performances with stability of tone and the tour-de-force quality that made her legendary....
I feel blessed I had this opportunity......
I have never experienced something similar ever since...

quel grido!

great performance indeed. I saw her in the 80th in a variety of Wagnerian and Strauss roles. But the one that rivaled her as Turandot " was Gena Dimitrova who I saw live in the arena di Verona. The arena was a hard place to fill with one voice and I have never since heard a Turandot quite like her. Monumental. You should check her out online. There is a youtube clip with her from that time and place and role.

@albafango no i'm for real. hehe no one's called me 'honey' before
-
@belcunto honey are you for real ? rather taking the p..s
-
@belcunto Perhaps not for a man singing in falsetto, but for a woman singing full voice, this aria is basically riding the upper passagio almost the entire time. THAT is why it is so taxing - not the volume, but just the tessitura is godawful hard.

Gwyneth Jones surely is one of the leading dramatic sopranos of the last century - this is an excellent rendition. Her voice needs a big auditorium to be truly appreciated, I saw her life once in Fellbach in 2005 and will never forget the sheer force and beauty of her voice - the deep register had mostly faded away, but wow! What dramatic power in the top register!!

Really incomparable live performance of this most taxing of arias! And she sings Calaf's phrase every time, a feat that cannot be replicated by any singer who's less gifted and endowed in terms of stamina, volume and vocal control. Definitely the best of the best, as shown clearly from this live clip.
