Joan Sutherland - C'est l'histoire amoureuse

Whimsical and very fun coloratura piece from Auber's "Manon Lascaut".

Probably the best rendition that I have ever heard... and I am not a Sutherland fanatic!!!!!

Thanks for sharing,

She had the greatest voice of any soprano I've ever heard, and here's another example why.

you cannot wish better for it does not excist and never will. Joan is the greatest.

This is from the set called Romantic French Arias (in the UK) or French Opera Gala (in the US), probably the best two-record recital ever recorded by anybody. Listen to those Ds at the ends of the runs! I believe it was recorded in 69 and released in 70, but I might be off by a year.

What year is this? I'm guessing early to mid '60s?
