Gioachino Rossini - La cambiale di matrimonio - "Come tacer" (Joan Sutherland)

One of the most peculiar things in Dame Joan Sutherland's career, for me at least, was the fact that she has sang so few Rossini parts, except, of course, for Semiramide. It really is a pity that she hasn't recorded, for example, "La donna del lago", "Elisabetta" or any similar parts. I am sure that they would have suited her wonderfully. Still, I am happy with what Joan Sutherland has recorded (and that's quite a lot :-)). This early recording is a small clue on what may have been. "La cambiale di matrimonio" is one of Rossini's earliest operas and, as usual, it is quite delightful :-)! Presented here is the aria of the heroine, Fanny, as sung by Sutherland. Hope you enjoy (comments are most welcome :-))!

Joan Sutherland is wonderful... but Luciana Serra is the best!

why didn't she sing more Rossini!

[WQ673]

Sutherlands voice was one of the best in her well time. Clear, she is not compatible with the voices of Patti, Dal Monte, Terrazinni etc., but this voices, sad to say, are coming only in the distance of hundred jears. I ask : "When is coming a new Caruso?". We can compair Sutherland only with the well singers in her well time, because the men is only a child of his time.

Sutherland was one of vocal phenomenons of all time, and incomparable in Meyerbeer and Handel; I cannot abide her droopy, mooning around, scooping, and indistinct vowels and diction, which is poison in the music of Rossini. Also, she is always better in music that is energetic and fast moving, as this does not allow her time for her mannerisms.
