A rare audio recording of Dame Joan Sutherland singing Puccini's Suor Angelica. Dame Joan only sang the role on the stage in Australia. Of her performance, the Bulletin wrote: "Sutherland handles all the demands magnificently. As the ordinary nun of the opening scene tending her garden with much horticultural devotion, she is for once unrecognisable as Sutherland. The interplay with her sister-nuns is ensemble work as its most sensitive. The explosive meeting with her aunt is played out with all the newfound dramatic power of her lower registers. And in the closing scene, the more familiar Sutherland soars heavenwards as only she can...She has restored to this opera the greatness which Puccini until his dying day believed it possessed, despite the public mockery. And Puccini has given to Sutherland one of the most dramatically satisfying and moving roles of her long career." Oh to have witnessed this performance! Brava! Cast: Joan Sutherland, Rosina Raisbeck, Isobel Buchanan, Heather Begg, Elizabeth Fretwell, Lesley Stender, Cynthia Johnston. Richard Bonynge, conductor.. + Informações

Here's a rarity for you: Sutherland's only assumption of Madame Herz. This video includes only the numbers in which Sutherland sings. Originally, the excellent Rita Streich was set to sing the top notes in the trio, but withdrew due to illness, thus giving us the only recorded live Sutherland F6. I'm inordinately proud of this one, as I was able to remove a distracting whirring sound from the recording without damaging the music. Be sure to check out the utterly delightful trio. Well, the whole thing is delightful. Here's the track listing: 0:00 No. 1 Aria - Da schlägt die Abschiedsstunde 4:30 No. 3 Trio - Ich bin die erste Sängerin 10:31 No. 4 Finale - Jeder Künstler strebt nach Ehre Der Schauspieldirektor by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart Madame Herz ...
