I was in the audience on that day of 1985. June was incrdedible ! So were Sam Ramey and Rocky Blake. But June's voice was so BIG ! We thought she could sing Salome, Elektra, Turandot and so on. She did not, eventually. But her rendition of that aria by Meyerbeer was fantastic. I'll never forget it. Thanks Miss June ! You're the best ! Love you. David.
Never appreciated June Anderson until I got the complete recording of Robert Le Diable. Her performance of this aria is phenomenal. The coloratura is intrinsically linked to the drama of the moment rather than an attractive decoration. Pure operatic expression of the highest order.
Never has this been sung better ... Perfection! Absolutely amazing, breathtaking. Brava, June! ~ You reigned supreme the last decades of the past century; I'm so glad I was there often to witness such exquisite singing .. Belcanto and I appreciate you and your immense gifts, THANK YOU~
CE SPECTACLE ETAIT SOMPTUEUX DECORS DE IONESCO ETC.. MAGNIFIQUES ET JUNE ANDERSON SURNATURELLE.LA VOIX ETAIT D UNE BEAUTEE INCROYABLE CELA RESTE UN DE MES PLUS BEAUX SOUVENIRS D OPERA.......
Chills on my spine!! SHE SHOULD HAVE RECORDED THE STUDIO VERSION. DAMMIT EMI, DECCA, SONY, OPERA RARA, TELARC, DEUTSCHE GRAMMOPHON, FOR NOT CALLING UPON HER TO RECORD THIS MARVELLOUS OPERA.
Brava! Miss Anderson; a tragically underappreciated soprano who should have been given many more recording contracts;why was this not so?Was it because at her peak Miss Anderson had to compete with many other wonderful sopranos,Scotto,Sutherland,Sills,Freni,Gruberova,Cotrubas,Moffo etc.etc.I saw Miss Anderson sing a magnificent "Elvira"("I Puritani") at Covent Garden;by chance we talked to her in the street after the performance and she was somewhat surprised that we had enjoyed her performance so much as we were from Joan Suterland's neck- of- the woods!It was a tragedy that her MAGNIFICENT performance was not captured on film or at least recorded.
I agree it is a great pity there are not more recordings of her work, I have gathered as many as I can find, commercial and otherwise. Chronologically she came "after" many of the sopranos you list, so I don't believe it was due to direct competition with them. Most frustrating of all to me is the lack of a commercial release of her Lucia, a role she performed so many times to great acclaim.

Brilliant the greatest soprano
Chills on my spine!! SHE SHOULD HAVE RECORDED THE STUDIO VERSION. DAMMIT EMI, DECCA, SONY, OPERA RARA, TELARC, DEUTSCHE GRAMMOPHON, FOR NOT CALLING UPON HER TO RECORD THIS MARVELLOUS OPERA.
In addition to the live CD recording, she also recorded this aria on her FRENCH OPERA ARIAS cd.
Brilliant stuff
Avec de superbes bijoux et costumes!
Elle chante sur un fil d'argent, du pur génie.
JUNE I LOVE YOU
Beautiful, thanks for sharing. I just discovered a recording of Beverly Sills doing this as well - absolutely marvelous.
Version scénique historique à l’opéra Garnier en 1985 , June bouleversante je m’en souviens encore. Le plus beau souvenir d’opéra de ma vie !

this is the only video recording i have. there is also a live cd recording which is a fairly good quality.

Historique !
Quel dommage que l'on ne trouve pas d'enregistrement video ...
bravissima divissima. Would that I could join in that rhythmic clapping.
Lovely singing. The tempo is too slow though.
I've heard June, Pavarotti and nucci at the Met doing Rigoletto . I think her voice is lovely but not huge. Great Gilda !
Agree she was a splendid Gilda

Comment peut-on se le procurer ?
