Dispite the poor sound, her voice still shines through. The way she hits the top notes without screaming is truly amazing.
Tolstow.

Die Emma ist gut,, aber an Natalie Dessay kann sie mit "Lakme" noch nicht anknüpfen.

I have had the immense pleasure of watching Emma Matthews perform many roles for Opera Australia. She's wonderful--and I agree that there is too little of her on YouTube or DVD. Opera Australia productions and singers are better than any I have seen in the UK or Europe.

A really wonderful voice. One of the best. Pure, and bell-like with superb diction. Charming stage presence. She will be one of the 'the greats'
-
Hopefully she wont end up with the same plum in the throat sound Joan had in the end
-
Me too steinwaygrande1 ! I wrote down her name straight away - she has a beautiful voice!
I'm 99% certain this is Emma Matthews, not Leanne Kenneally. They shared the role: Emma sang it in Melbourne, Leanne in Sydney. This looks and sounds a whole lot more like Emma than Leanne.

I was told this was from Sydney, and this is the name that was listed in the cast. Of course, using a tape like this, I am not certain. I would like to know for sure.
