I still miss her. No soprano can sing better than Sutherland. That’s what I dare to say !!! Of course, I like Callas,Tebaldi, Netrepko, Bartoli,Etc.,very much,too.
This music and performance has me in tears. The tone of the finest silver is married to a supreme technique and a musical bond with the music. Joan is one of Operas Glories. Thanks for posting. Regards-John
32 añitos.......y la mejor voz del mundo.......INCREIBLE.......la delicadeza vocal...junto al romanticismo....y la contenida potencia....para ser princesa.....que luego la llevaria a ser la REINA.......por 30 años y para siempre...para gloria de la opera.......
Wow- her intonation is amazing and her diction so clear. This me at the same time she made her debut in Don Giovanni as Donna Anna. Is there more?? Please let there be....It is glorious!
@sutherland4l Thank you so much for uploading this! What a special -- and rare -- treat to hear a young Sutherland. And one of my favorite arias, to boot. Thank you for sharing! It is much appreciated -
This would have been so perfect for her to have sung at her farewell in Australia - equally fitting as "No Place Like Home" - and more musically interesting.
Yes, it is a magnificent voice. But I am surprised by the amount of portamento she uses (carrying the voice between notes). Her husband, coach, and later conductor Richard Bonynge was very much a performance historian, and I wonder if he thought of this as the authentic style for songs like this of this period?
No one, but no one, quite like Dame Joan in this utterly beautiful 200-year-old love song!
There are no words to describe how beautiful her voice was or how brilliantly this was sung. She was incomparable.
:)
I still miss her.

Greatest voice in the history of the world...unparalleled beauty, superb technique, excellent diction. No other voice has ever thrilled me like hers.
Joan at the beginning of her magnificent career. Pure notes and precise articulation, wonderful music
Haunting...so beautifully sung. Thanks

Superb, Joan Sutherland at her very best. R.I.P. great lady.
I always loved this aria, dreams of a common person about a more elegant life and, of course, love.
Laurel and Hard's Bohemian Girl introduced me to this masterpiece. I loved it since I was about 6, almost 65 years ago!
One of my favourite songs ❤
I cry every time I hear this song.
me too
I don’t blame you.
Indeed.
Joan Sutherland is superb in the rendition I dreamt I dwelt in marble halls
This music and performance has me in tears. The tone of the finest silver is married to a supreme technique and a musical bond with the music.

O beautiful! O Balfe! O Dame Joan! And the thanks and the glory of all it be the LORD's.
Amen
Beautiful words cannot describe it.
A real treat, absolutely lovely thank you for uploading this early Sutherland treasure
So beautiful. And i came to this via Laurel & Hardy !
Da Vida And I so remembered it thus as well!! How lovely that an another had the same strange start to loving this aria ... thank you for sharing

Perfect visuals for this stunning, stunning performance. Thank you so much for uploading.
Simply beautiful xx
Thank you so much for this! This almost became her theme song, along with Songs my Mother Taught Me. It's beautiful even though a bit scratchy.
An ideal showcase for Dame Joan's artistry.
Such a noble & elegantly charismatic voice 😍
beautiful woman and voice
The ornamentation is divine
Every version I have heard I have loved, this one is the best
Chef Vegán ... it pleased you most:-)

Roberta Peters's 1952 recording of this Balfe standard was the best I had heard until now.Thank-you Dame Joan.
Amazing, I have never heard this. Thank you so much.
오래전에 라디오에서
이 음악을 처음 이 목소리로 들었을때, 그때부터 이 음악과 이 목소리에 매료되었습니다
카스타 디바도 이분것만 듣습니다
제일 좋아요
How beautiful!
I cannot remember last time I heard this on radio...shame!
R.I.P love you always
The inimitable Joan Sutherland.
Is there more material from this recital? Recordings of Sutherland's recitals before 1960 are quite rare.
This would have been so perfect for her to have sung at her farewell in Australia - equally fitting as "No Place Like Home" - and more musically interesting.
The one soprano voice that I could listen to all day ; there is no debating personal preference.
Thanks Don Hertzfeldt
Fine.
Singing styles sure have changed!
CON UNA FACILIDAD PASMODICA PARA TODAS LAS FACETAS DEL CANTO MAS EMBAUCADORAS........LA DE LA BELLEZA DE LA IMPOSTACION VOCAL COMO ENCANTO DEL CANTO
the audio can reach that high noooo
ESTRATOSFERICA.....

Joan before she became a hasbeen.
