Joan Sutherland sings "Ah sento, o mio bel angiolo" from I Puritani (Bellini)
From: VAI DVD 4206 Joan Sutherland: Complete Bell Telephone Hour Performances
In the early 1960s, the Australian soprano Joan Sutherland emerged as an opera star of the first magnitude, setting new standards of vocal excellence in the bel canto repertoire that have yet to be matched. Fortunately, Miss Sutherland's American career included numerous television appearances, prominent among them her performances on the Bell Telephone Hour, from 1961to 1968. The earliest of these telecasts marked Miss Sutherland's American television debut, less than a month after her New York debut (in a concertperformance of Bellini's Beatrice di Tenda) and well before her Metropolitan Opera debut (as Lucia, on November 26, 1961). Video Artists International isproud to present Dame Joan's complete Bell Telephone Hour performances on one DVD.

I wanna cry listening to the last (several) note(s). Should I thank Bellini or Suherland? I dunno.

[goranandersson]

Joan Sutherland is the best - still.

[Paddy818]

She generated so much excitement and joy! I saw audiences whipped into a frenzy by the power, speed and her amazing agility! Once you heard her live you understood. It was a huge miracle of a voice!

[4piglite]

WOW ... !! The ending blew me out of my seat!!

[jjmmcc1949]

I don't recall anyone but Sutherland sing it - and so well - but I will stand corrected.

[jjmmcc1949]

I miss Joan; but that said they're so many clips here on You Tube and on disc, none better than the 'Art of the Prima the Donna'. Listen to, for example, Bel raggio lusinghier and Handel's 'Let the bright Seraphim & l'm sure you'll be won over.

Thanks for all your records " La Stupenda"'

(1926-2010)

La Stupenda la voz de la Centuria, una de las mejores de la historia de la Opera.

[Webarton]

You can also thank Bonynge, who discovered the original manuscript. Over 40 years later sopranos still sing this final aria thanks to them.
