This CAN be a conductor's nightmare!....(am speaking as a conductor)...holding the "reigns" on each singer trying to"out sing each other" all about 'balance' and maintaining a steady tempo. This is marvelous! And no one to this day, can master the art of bel canto, the way Dame Joan Sutherland did.Thanks so much for sharing this precious clip!
I truely enjoyed this so much. This is a delight to my eyes and ears. To see this wonderful performance preserved here for all time with these great performers is a treat, indeed! Thank you so much Ms. Sue Ann Nevins for sharing this with us.
esta mujer siempre tiene la tesitura adecuada..............entra y sale del aria como si ella la huviera diseñado...............es increibleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee..............................su oido es de lo mas exquisitoooooooooooo
thrilling rendition. for all the dated lack of sets, etc. the Bell Telephone Hour introduced me to many of the war horses such as this. Bravi Bell Telephone. Brava Ms. Nivens for the posting
Fascinating bit of trivia. Thanks for sharing it. And thanks, too, to the poster for this gem. When I was a kid, The Telephone House was on Monday nights at 9, following the Firestone Hour. I repeatedly asked Mom why these programs were called HOURS since both aired only 30 minutes!
Me too. Looney toons. I forgot about the stoves. Now I remember Curly dressed as a woman singing the soprano part. Hysterical. This is one insane piece of music. I love it.
aparte de que su presencia en el escenario lo llena todo .............es......como.......si fuera de otro mundo......................su cara.su expresion...........su divismo sencillo........pero atronadorrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr........sus facciones dedicadas al aria.....emotivas y sentidas a lo maximo.....y al mismo tiempo de manera facilll y elocuente..............es que me vuelve loco.........me chifla esta mujer..................ella cantaba y lo demas le importaba un pito..............eso es joa
Jerome Hines is singing to the left of Sutherland. A cavernous bass, who did the first American Boris Godunov in Russia, I believe, and who was still singing at 80, in 2001. And yes, Gobbi sang flat on occasion- it was not his voice that thrilled but his PRESENCE and acting ability. I saw his Scarpia in Tosca in Chicago in '73 or '74 (so long ago) and his entrance sent chills down your spine. The singing? -Eh. The Normanno and the mezzo I cannot place. But WOW, to have seen this. Thanks!!!
El "standard" para mi, desde los años 50 de esta bellisima aria fue justamente estos seis cantantes que yo desconocia quienes eran . El aria se repetia casi todos los sabados por la Radio de la Universidad de Costa Rica ,junto con otras arias que se convirtieron-tambien-en mis standards para esas obras. Asi que cada vez que escucho a otros cantantes interpretandolas-inconscientemente- comparaciones que no son justas...
I love love love this bit, but as with any choral song, it gets a bit muddy and hard to follow. I gave up trying to follow along with the libretto and now I just sit back and enjoy the artistry of 6 people singing 3 different songs with the same melody. It's EPIC!
How many cartoons have used the Hungarian Rhapsody nr 2, the Hungarian Dance nr 5, LARGO AL FACTOTUM, and this Sextet? Liszt, Brahms, Rossini, and Donizetti want to know!
Thanks for your reply. In fact, as far as I know we don't have larks in Australia (tho I am no ornithologist). 'Lark' can be used in Eng to trivialise something, so I wanted to clarify that this wasn't your intention. Many thanks - we are on the same wavelength.
ME HAN LLAMADO IGNORANTE......ME HAN DICHO DE TODO MENOS BONITO......Y YO JAMAS HE INSULTADO A NADIE.......QUE NO TENGO NI PUÑETERA IDEA.......PERO MI AMOR POR LA VIDA SOLO HA SIDO AMAR A MARIA CALLAS Y A JOAN SUTHERLAND...APARTE DE MIS COSAS PARTICULARES..A MI EDIT PIAF .Y A MI MIREILLE MATHIEU..A MI SHIRLEY BASSEY..Y MUCHOS ESTILOS MAS.....Y TODOS SIEMPRE ESTAN DISCUTIENDO DE QUIEN ES MEJOR QUE QUIEN..Y ESO ES UNA TONTERIA.....PERO LA SUPREMACIA ES UN SONIDO....ALGO MAS QUE LA INTELECTUALIDAD
lo que siento mucho en otros que han puesto videos es que anulen mis comentarios..en cuanto a callas y joan sutherland....creo qu emi libertad....es democratica...y mis gustos tambien...jamas permitire que nadie hable mejor de la callas que yo...pero jamas permitire...que se me anule cuando hablo de la mejor cantante de todos los tiempos..JOAN SUTHERLAND.....Y ALGUNOS EN ESTAS LIDES PARECE QUE SON FASCISTAS......Y YO SOLO SOY UN SER HUMANO QUE AMA...LO MEJOR....AMO A LA CALLAS COMO EL QUE MAS..
they've got loads of calibre between them alright... this is a classic schoolboy case of neglecting to warm up(or possibly rehearse sufficiently?) before the actual thing.

Joan Sutherland and Callas were Bel Canto masters
RIP Joan Sutherland - an amazing singer who had a wonderful career.
Thanks Sue Ann..... Dame Joan in her prime is always a treat.
What a treasure for all lovers of opera.

Wonderful cast.

Just saw this on the PUBLIC CLASSIC FINE ARTS station in Chicago.
I am so glad to find it on CZcams!
Powerful. 3 Operatic GIANTS.
Please don't forget Jerome Hines !
Great stuff !
Thanks for posting.

So that's Joan Sutherland, Nicolai Gedda, Tito Gobbi, and Jerome Hines. Luxury casting. Who are the other two?

MSU, we love thy shadows when twilight silence falls...
At last I can watch a live performance with Nicolai Gedda and Tito Gobbi.
SOLO SE LA OYE A ELLA...............................

I gained my love of classical music fro cartoons when I was a kid! Too bad cartoons nowadays are all garbage!
I miss the cymbals! Muy importante the cymbals. Bell Telephone to conductor: "No cymbals for you!"
Did they sing any other aria in this programme?
I have no problem understanding her...perhaps you have your feet in your ears.
Yep, I'd like to know what is meant by the lark reference to Joan, too.
How flat was the bass from 0:45 to 1:00??
TITO GODBI dios total
When exacrtly is it performed - if you know? Lovely piece no matter
The Sextet is performed in the Second Act of Lucia di Lammermoor, maybe its second scene.

@meltzerboy
G-r-e-a-t !!!!!
Many thanks to SueAnnNivens (love your handle!), and to Nate for sharing!
All i can see is Moe Larry and Curly as Senorita Lacucaracha...
this is Gerome Himes?
yes
Whenever I hear Sextet from Lucia, All I can think of is Looney Tunes and the Three Stooges.
Also The Money Pit.
Is this from TV?

Who else is here 'cause of the 3 Stooges?!
I came here cause of Willie the Whale
She's good, but she is no Senorita Cucaracha!
It would be hilarious if someone was drunk while singing this song!
gosh, I never loved Tito Gobbi, and he's sure a bit flat here. but look - Jerome Hines!!!
not sure about the calibre of the male voices,,,,,,,,,
they've got loads of calibre between them alright... this is a classic schoolboy case of neglecting to warm up(or possibly rehearse sufficiently?) before the actual thing.
bock bock bock
bock bock bock bock bockl
bock bock bock ~ bock bock bock bock bock bock......
Joan Sutherland sings as if she has food in her mouth- can't understand a word she says- opera must communicate- it is not just music
That is why she had no career. Poor thing.
