What a great singer and beautiful lady. She and Sutherland would be the only recordings I would need on a deserted island. One of the most beautiful voices ever.
Her lovely voice is, however, scarcely half the size of Sutherlands. And in Norma the size of the voice is important...Anderson here sounds delicate on top, almost fragile...
Correction, the Manon didn't happen, and I think she's been on a hiatus since october of 2012, but up until then she was regularly concertizing in reportedly fine voice
Your memory does not serve. She has been singing regularly and very successfully in France (where she lives and prefers not to leave), and she adds new roles every year.
One of the greatest Bel Canto technicians ever and a beautiful voice. She is the benchmark for any soprano. Just a tremendous woman.
Amazing! What a lovely performance.
Exquisitely sung!

In the exact lineage of the great Arleen Auger. June is my love!!!
A good performance and she was 55 at the time. She has sung very little in 2013-2014 -just a few recitals.

Stunning!
Magnifique
She was quite good. where is she now? Any more recent clips?
Yes. She sang Nixon in China last year, I believe she added Manon soon after that, and she's also recently sung her first Salome.
Thanks for the info
la voix de velours superbe!
nice to hear that. Still? Even in 2013??
Brava !!!!
beautifully limpid and dark
I think she's had a vocal decline (if memory serves)
