  • @neneorganico Sad, but all true for Callas. If only she managed that voice better .... Sutherland still would've likely kicked her ass. ;)

  • @donniecatalano I agree with you!

  • No doubt, the best ever!!!!, Joan Sutherland proved not only to be a great artist, but a wonderful person, that gaves over all this years, the great joy to share her art and talent. may The Lord keep her there at His side, leading his ensamble of Divine voices in heaven...BRAVAAAA!!!!, Viva Joan Sutherland forever!!!!

  • @angryjalapeno No!!! Many 'pretend coloratura's'--ala Netrebko and co.

  • @ok260474, yeah I agree. But love the little bell player at 5:30 .

  • @windstorm1000 does the MET currently have any sopranos that have these high notes?

  • Sutherland was great. Callas was great. Both were unique, very gifted sopranos.

  • @neneorganico And your point is? Sutherland is great because Callas was not great? How about something like "both of them were fantastic singers in different ways and different repertoires"?

  • The voice is beautiful, but the interpretation is boring.

  • @simisimi9 Maria Callas italian diction was dark, she was an american born in New York.Maria Callas efforts to sing Puccini are anemic singing with a too flawed and wretched voice .Joan Sutherland had a 40 years career with Eflat for over 30 years and poor Maria Eflat lasted only around 7 years and alwayas with problems.Joan Sutherland voice was huge. Callas voice was only big in the early '50s but poor Maria since middle '50sher voice became thinner and smaller each year, by 1960 she was mute
