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

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?
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.
