She was always a great faller!

her 1959 tone is so much more youthful than any other recordings or other performances i’ve ever heard from her, it sounds ... stupendous... (hehe)

Her husband says she Artificially lightend her voice in the beginning. I don't think so I think she colored it for the more youthful characters she played until her voice fully developed. What a long and glorious career she had.

Melbourne 65 , WOW 💪😍

Haven't got to that one, yet - but the '61 Met just blew my head off -OMG! (Edit - oh yes, see what you mean! )

I love LA STUPENDA ❤❤❤💐

Love this type of post. I learn so much through the comparative performances.

Great fun. I suppose the primary point is that she had the role in her repertoire for almost 30 years - with unbeatable results.

Toll! Besser ist nicht möglich! Ein Engel singt!

Wow! - Thank you.

fantastic video! thanks

Where/How on earth did you get access to all these clips?

Sutherland had an imposing voice, but without the sound like a bell that the true coloratura sopranos had, such as Amelita Galli-Curci, Selma Kurz and Roberta Peters had. Also her final E-flat in this mad scene is very short in comparison with the more ample fiato that many coloratura sopranos that we may hear. For example, Amerita Galli-Curci, Selma Kurz and Roberta Peters had a very long and spectacular fiato that Sutherland could not reach in his highers notes. However, this vocal limitations in Sutherland´s coloratura voice are less important that his greatness as one of the best singers of the XX century. Greetings,

She held them longer when she was younger. On one as long as lily pons however. Also I find that her high notes from high D and higher have the bell like tone of which you speak.

@@jimbuxton2187 Sutherland's bell-like tone on the high notes was frequently mentioned in her career...particularly her early career. I would invite anyone doubting it to listen to her staccato Eb in this piece, @5:32 kzread.info/dash/bejne/ioyMsrGmXay8o9I.htmlsi=etlxUZYLfyeEiJ9k

1st track tape is running fast.

This is playing fast. Her vibrato was not this fast. It is amazing.

The Chicago tape is fast - but the others are not. In the late 50s-early 60s, in the upper register, particularly in alt, the vibrato was quite fast.

Est-ce qu'on peut faire mieux? La performance est certes là mais ce n'est pas au détriment de la recherche du plaisir de notre écoute.
