This is a HUGE thank you present for everyone that has supported my channel! Many people consider this to be one of the quintessential Verdi aria's with a very tricky vocal line.
This contest represents a first, I have included selections that I normally would have omitted. I am interested in seeing how this works out. Once again a score of 1-5 for singing/characterization:

  • the exposed high D or Dflat i think is written as an alternative in the score.

  • I could be wrong, but I thought the orignal score had the high D?

  • Sopranos half her age couldn't produce these sounds. It's nice to hear the aria as written, with perfect trills, and that exposed D almost always avoided by others. Beautifully done. 5/5

  • I saw this production as for the comments of lack of richness in the low notes obviously these people never heard sutherland live or are just use to the more dramatic sopranos hammering the low notes for dramatic effect this was and is beautifully sung leonora

  • @Hako2004 sure she does... she sings everything trasspose... maybe if you lend me your hearing aid then i'll be able to hear what you do.

  • @NEBESHIKU

    Your absurd comments are actually painful. Sutherland sings down to the low G, and this music goes no where near that low. She has no trouble at all with the low notes, and it is certainly not true that she "can't reach them".

  • Joan never disappoints with singing anything, even towards the end of her career when you put into perspective how long she'd been using her voice. the acting on the other hand . . . at first, i did not care for it at all. but now, i find it enjoyable and comical because she has the same head-tilted back, wide-eyed surprised look whenever she's supposed to be expressive :) love my Joan!

  • @lydiaguarro

    Thanks, but we have already heard them. If you think this is horrible....please have your hearing checked .

  • Horrible. Escuchar a Calla o Caballé.

  • sublime! grandiosa! senza parole!!!

  • How on earth could you miss out Plowright in this !!

  • Painful to watch her try to go to the low notes and can't reach them, over stretching the thrills, 1/5
