  • LOVE the way they're singing TOGETHER instead of trying to out-do each other!! Makes the whole thing SO much more beautiful...two excellent performers, two consumate professionals - love this piece!

  • I really don't care whether Horne could or could not take the high C in the passage referred to since her singing is magnificent regardless. The same applies to Sutherland. Insofar as Bellini's music is concerned, they are both peerless.

  • Unforgetable! God bless the memory of Dame Joan.

  • Wonderful entertainment by great and consummate singers and performers par excellence! Bravi!

  • Many thanks for this. Luciano, Marilyn and Joan were in my opinion the best cast for Norma by far!!!!

  • what's wrong with Horne's falsh lashes? or do I need bigger glasses?

  • R.I.P La Stupenda!!!

  • You know it's good when you shut up and watch start to finish with your jaw dropped, and then start to finish again...jaw still dropped.

  • Gee this is nice.

  • Marilyn Horne - a most magnificent mezzo, a truly glorious voice. And Joan Sutherland, a Norma beyond compare. As an opera goer of that long ago 1960's I suffered through another soprano with the initials of MC until I found Joan Sutherland. No comparison, except for the next decades superb soprano Montserrat Caballe.

    But, enjoy the legacy of recordings of Horne and Sutherland; they are a treasure.

  • Now, that's just silly. Why would you even want to compare Flagstad and Sutherland? Different generations, different repertoire. Why don't you give us an aria or a scene that they both sang so that we can compare them on common ground?
