- The Great Joan Sutherland singing Violetta's Act I Finale in Amazing Voice at her 53!! She is even sings the 9 High Cs in staccatto!!! Hope to enjoy!!
She has such control of her voice . No screeching, no wavering, soft and loud tones brilliant! Miss her so much!
Best. Soprano ever in my opinion! Miss her!
Three weeks from her 53rd birthday, and she sailed fearlessly through this fiendish bit of singing better than anyone else at the time.
Now that was a PERFECT thrill !
Amazing the greatest singer EVER & her DEAR FRIEND MARILYN HORNE 👏🌹⚘
She is utterly, utterly divine....I write this literally wiping the tears from my eyes at hearing her gorgeous, limpid, silvery voice and remembering her - happens to me every time!!
Every year that she performed at the Met from 1976 to 1991 (the years that I had subscribed to the Met) I attended her performances. During the years of her dispute with James Levine, when she did not perform at the Met, I attended her concert performances here in NYC, at Avery Fisher Theater and at Brooklyn College. After the 1979 performance at Avery Fisher Theater I had the cherished privilege of meeting her personally. That is a night that I will never forget.
Could listen to her for ever. Brilliant!
fantastica........................
I'd like to see today's sopranos sing like this.......
Crazy organist EXACTLY!
Nobody could sing like this even back then...
@@ivanatodorovic8073 nope
@@dramaticsoprano5168 Enjoy your truth, that's fine with me.
😄❤
Marito e Moglie bravissimi e mitici! Grazie, Divino Maestro Giuseppe Verdi
Runs and trills were masterfully executed with brilliance throughout the entire aria and such drama in her expression. Pure joy to experience. Divas of this caliber are very few.
A voice like this comes once in a century! Let alone her superb vocal technique which allowed her to sing admirably to the very end!
I looooove her! 🐾
My first recording of Traviata had her in it. Still a favorite of mine with a very strong cast. With Bergonzi and Merrill
Bravaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
La Voz mas hermosa de la lirica!!!!
She's amazing. Her voice sounds full, radiant and expressive in this rendition. It must have been amazing to be there and be enveloped by the warmth of her sound. I love this part: 7:19 she opens up her chest voice on "Nasca il giorno, o il giorno muoia" and then she stretches her spine, lifts her chest and emits that incredible and focused high note "Sempre lieta ne’ ritrovi". Goosebumps
Wow, what a privilege to have met her and corresponded with her, I’m quite pleased that you had such a privilege. I would have loved to met her!
A model of technique. I first heard her live at Covent Garden the next year in 1980. Her Lucrezia Borgia was astonishing and well acted in an old fashioned operatic way. Her singing during the 1980s provided some of the most exciting operatic experiences of my life. Sadly this world has long gone. Producers these days seem intent on destroying most operas, even ridiculing them and most singers don’t have a clue about technique. There are a few exceptions but not many!
Non parliamo poi dei registi 😢😢😢
Every time I listen to Joan Sutherland I have goosepimpel 2:36
the best singer i have her i have her autografe twice
Lucky thing. I would have loved to have met her!
@@catherineandrewartha8913 She was a wonderful woman, no diva antics, just perfect signing. Very down to earth. Met her several times and corresponded with her as well. A beautiful soul....
It was in 1979 but her voice was still fresh and clear as in youth.
The miracle of Belcanto
She remains without peer except maybe Ruthann Swenson
Admirável!!!
She said in an interview that her nickname was "big mouth" and she laughed. She liked it! She must have had a great sense of humor.
She once visited June Anderson in her dressing room and remarked on their similar bone structures, “I’m told the E flats are in that jaw!”
I love her big mouth !!!
Необыкновенная Джоан!
A fine document that represents the waning years of what was great operatic tradition. The drama, pathos and musicality that she can deliver in one phrase surpasses what most singers today can do with the entire scena and tacked on histrionics.
magnifica es poco....................................mas ..................pero mucho mas.................grandiosa......................
In the recitative, the first thing that strikes me is how clear her diction is without losing that roundness of sound. Afterwards a little less... That eleven second trill at the end of the cavatina, and the TWELVE staccato high Cs... impressive for any age.
Sutherland clear diction ? You must be dreaming 😂
@@wakandakimana601 In this recordings her diction is clear.
Even at 85% - Joan Sutherland was still the GREATEST.
After Callas of course
I must agree with you 100%.
@@wakandakimana601 🤣 now that’s funny
@@wakandakimana601 Jesus God both women are dead and you queens are still fighting over "who's better"? They were very different kinds of singers...both were amazing. Sutherland's career was longer and more stable....Callas was a shooting star...both changed the world of singing for the better. Now get over yourselves!
The GREATEST STUPID in the history of opera you mean. Smallest E flats in history and absolutely no sense of style or voice placement. Muted voice, super back throated..I could go on and on..so, yeah, the greatest STUPIDA in the history of opera.
The greatest
She trilled for over 8 seconds at 05:26. This is, besides some of Sills trills, the best i've ever heard of.
And she was at 53!!
@@OperaMyWorld I just wished she would've sung Turandot at 60 instead of Lucia by the time she was planning to retire. She had the voice and better sensibility than before.
Even years after this performance....three years, her trill was a source of wonder. Listen to this trill at the end of "When William at Eve"...@8:05 czcams.com/video/4EPrb-Nfu9E/video.html
Or this one @44:41 at the end of Casta Diva...same concert. czcams.com/video/Ew2WysbQfyE/video.html
lo mas de lo mas.......................
It's not 9 but 12 high C in staccato , immediately followed by a D flat in in the vocalize.
Bravooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo......................
Its the trill for me 5:25
Was she the only one who ever did a trill at the end of Ah forse lui?
una pasda...........vocal.................
She had one posture and one voice color. I get tired of looking and listening to her after a couple of minutes.
Then 👏🏼why👏🏼 are 👏🏼you👏🏼 here?
posture is not so important as voice
Oh, you mean because she didn't hunch her shoulders together, wave from side to side, and endlessly hug herself, the way another "great" singer did? What did THAT tell you about the character? Nothing.
