Her trills were AMAZING. It's something few sings do anymore, though it's written lots. I suppose it's "just that hard" to learn that they don't lol.

Ok, so that sound at 2:14 is unparalleled. I can't believe that, having heard that, ANYONE could dislike this.

@rnettell Ah, Rienzi! I'm singing in it next year (under my real name, which this isn't)....I believe it sounds a lot like Meyebeer...

I'm guessing that this is probably from 1962. Sutherland recorded this aria in French in 1960 for The Art of the Prima Donna and probably didn't learn it in Italian until the La Scala production in 1962. Her voice also sounds more like it did 1962.

Sutherland's best role--the other Marguerite of French opera.

Joan Sutherland singing Les Huguenots is WONDERFUL. I love her in this opera. She is to the date the only one who recorded a full, uncut version of the opera as well, or unless I miss my guess, so did June Anderson. But Sutherland truly did sing the best Meyerbeer and mid-19th century French opera repertoire.

Flawless!

Perfect.
Nice choice, coloraturafan! Meyerbeer is my FAVORITE......and Huguenots the absolute best of course! Ever listen to Rienzi by Wagner?(LOL.....not many 27 year olds say THAT often I bet! :-)
