  • Certainly the greatest rendition of this aria ever recorded....I heard her in 1979 perform this as her opening aria in a recital in Ann Arbor MI...she forgot the words and had to start over!!! Richard brought the music and plunked it down in front of her. She was charming and funny and then proceeded to blow the roof off the auditorium with her performance. There will never ever be another one like her.

  • un peu vieillot... mauvais enregistrement ....

  • This gives a decent idea of what her singing of this aria was like in the sixties - the TV clips are too aggressively recorded. But you had to be in the house for the full impact. At the extraordinary Zeffirelli production at Covent Garden, at the end of a long evening, she sang it as an encore to the whole show. You left walking on air.

  • Siento muchísimo su muerte,la conozco desde hace unos 35 años y siempre me ha acompañado su voz.Ahora también su recuerdo.Espero verte allá donde vayas.

  • semplicemente meravigliosa! una regina, una dea... come la canta lei NESSUNA. BRAAAAAAVISSIMA!

  • I have heard nothing since Richard statements regarding heart trouble. I will hope and pray that all is well with dear Joannie.

  • Thanks so much for this. Every piece of news helps.

  • Someone replied to a post of mine recently to say Richard Bonynge had mentioned DJS had heart problems and may require surgery, but I also have searched and been able to find nothing on this. I think from news articles on google RB was in London this week to receive an award. Were DJS gravely ill it does seem unlikely he would have travelled, although London to Geneva is only a 90 minute flight!

  • Hi Hako2004 - I know you are a great admirer of Joan, as I am. Yahoo Groups[Joan Sutherland] is reporting that Joan is "gravely ill" again. I can find nothing on the net about this. Have you heard anything about our dear Joan?

  • Great piece of singing, and interestingly enough, a rare picture of Sutherland with her "original" teeth......before the porcelain caps.
