Absolutely exquisite! Just another performance to justify my belief she was the greatest soprano of all time.

What a pitty she did not leave us with a complete recording of Boheme. This is most beautiful!!!

Sutherland is not a verismo singer. It's just not compatible with her inclinations for a consistently high tessitura. Her middle voice sounds muddy.

[Claude Michaud]

Middle voice not too beautiful - but it is not bad, but not for her.

Sound not very clear.

When London/Decca announced Joan's recording of TURANDOT it raised plenty of eyebrows, but it turned out to be a wonderful performance. I don't think she ever tried it on stage, though.

She will be sorely missed. RIP Joan.

Well, she did sing live and in studio the role of Suor Angelica, arguably one of Puccini's most demanding heroines, and it was a very successful role for her. Of course that doesn't mean Sutherland would fare even better or as well in Puccini repertoire than on her "traditional" repertoire, but she had everything required to sing some Puccini heroines with plenty of intensity, squillo and good taste.

I think she did as a student...
