Sorry, but this is how Wagner is sung. People enjoy bashing La Stupenda today, because she is the greatest and it is easy to throw stones at a mountain thinking you can bring it down, but this is a breathtaking performance. The love, spirit, pain, suffering... it is everything that is and was Wagner.
Sutehrland could sing anything and everything that the all composers of this planet have ever created. The richness of her voice and her musicianship will always be unmatched.

seriously, light sopranos don't sing Turandot and Wagner and have voices that fill the halls of the world's biggest opera houses. people sure are imbeciles lol

I think Sutherland went the way she should have gone. Great career. Great singer, but this is definietly not for her, even in the studio.

This is Sutherland.. Not a role for her, but she was magnificent for me whatever she sung.. God bless.
Thank You.

@FeelinMinnesota Absolutely! And the voice was big, even in the most astonishing and dazzling coloratura roles, she could effortlessly fill the bigger auditoriums. Thanks for sharing.

@GoldenAgeSunshine A Light soprano that probably had a voice 10 times bigger than their favorites lol.
wonderful - we all know how superb she is in bel canto rep, but it is a real treat to hear her in Wagner. At first I thought "is this Flagstad?" - but it is the inimitable Dame Joan. I love how she approaches "Heller" on the beautiful g sharp. Thanks so much.

Indeed we are gifted!
She wasnt a Wagnerian soprano in her later carreer.
But who knew...what if she would have gone THAT way instead of belcanto?
A Rolls Roys of a voice!!!!!!
My favorite on this album is Isolde and Elsa.
Hail our Queen, Hail dame Joan.
