@florgano I count myself lucky to have heard so often during that period. Of all the operas she sang her Elvira is my personal favourite.

One of my mum's friends went to that, and the premiere of Lucia at Covent Garden in 1959........You have no idea how jealous I am!!!!

Thank you Homoclassicus, once again, for another fantastic example of JS in her glorious youth. Unspeakably beautiful, as always - but also exciting dramatically. The abandon and fearlessness in her singing matches the wildness of Elvira's fear/panic/temporary insanity.

@arturo8402 and she was more involved and exciting.

I love this period in Sutherland's vocal development! Listen to that purity of tone and consonants, even! Thank you for posting this stellar excerpt! I am kissing my computer screen.
