Absolutely Perfect,,,beautiful!!!!

What's with the unusual orchestral arrangement?

tonanthony - Her voice WAS HUGE! A Dramatic Colloratura! BUT!!! She kept it down, undersang, to protect the voice and lengthen her career. And it worked! Her QUEEN OF THE NIGHT is the ONE that fits the role!!! Not Roberta Peters or other mosquito voices... my opinion....

There is a remarkable sense of ease and mastery about Joan's singing here. I sometimes wonder if this is part of the reason that some people found her "undramatic". With more effortful singers, there can be an extra tension in the voice which translates as drama for an audience, and which results in part from us wondering whether they will get through what they are singing. An example for me is Domingo's Otello in which he undoubtedly triumphed, but partly through the vocal effort required.

Loved this version! Thanks for sharing :)!

Too many odd trills and scales and a cadenza almost as ridiculous as her look.

1:45 - Joan doing her two favorite things: needlepoint and singing opera!
She should have made a studio recording of this role. *Sigh*
it seems like she's talking an not singing, that's what makes her great. she reached those high notes without any difficulty, or so it appears. that's what makes great singers.

Physical attractiveness nor dramaturgy was never Joan's strength ... but she produced the most amazing sounds ever in opera even at the expense of those consonants she was constantly criticized ... to hell with diction - a very small price to pay for those gorgeous notes!!! Viva LA STUPENDA
