La Stupenda indeed - no one like her, although Caballe is almost equal! A once in a lifetime singer - a voice in a trillion - no one like her today. And a most charming, warm humane human being. Just a lovely, natural, beautiful person.
The greatest soprano I have ever experienced since my love of opera began some five years ago. Now in 2024, I listen to her ALWAYS and have, I think, come to know her fully through all the operas she has recorded, the recital discs and, thankfully, the many videos of opera performances and documentaries on Dame Joan like this one. Thank You.
This one is fantastic. I love the way she corrected herself when she made a mistake and the way her husband supported her seconds later. ruclips.net/video/8fryUJPrZIE/видео.html&pp=ygUWam9hbiBzdXRoZXJsYW5kIGNhbmFkYQ%3D%3D
When I was very young and only a chorus singer I sang a production of Steven Sondheim's passion where the doctor in the production sang with Dame Joan in the late 1980s when he was very young and only a chorus singer. He described her as a "big girl scout"...and very approachable and kind.
Brings back fantastic memories of hearing and meeting her in 1980s. Some of the greatest evenings of music I ever enjoyed. We shall not see her like again. Many thanks.
Esta inigualable y fantástica Soprano para estará por siempre en el gran libro de las mejores y absolutas voces del mundo de la opera poseía algo que la destacará por encima de todas un color y una forma de abordar los sonidos con maestría y destreza pidiendo generar un color y proyección deslumbrante no pude disfrutarla en vivo pero todo lo que veo y escucho es impresionante sin dejar de destacar que poseía una presencia en escena muy glamurosa y de Diva para mí es Madame Sutherland por esa postura elegancia que daba en el escenario desde Madrid deseo agradecer a la persona que ha hecho posible poder ver este lindo reportaje de una figura tan querida y aclamada en el mundo operístico solo puedo agradecer y dar un afectuoso saludo de este admirador
Precioso vídeo Madan Sutherland que bien escogía el repertorio para los conciertos sabía buscar obras de gran sutileza vocal y musical sin dejar de mencionar que el director Richar Bony hacia lucir el piano como una gran orquesta para mí hacían un dúo artístico perfecto había en ambos mucha elegancia y virtuosismo el vídeo es muy lindo una pena el no poder entender los parlamentos hablados y narrados porque en mi caso hablo solo Español pero quiero agradecer el publicar esta joya artística de una de las más grandes cantantes que ha tenido y tendrá el mundo de la ópera única inigualable lo poseía todo por eso hizo feliz a muchos admiradores que la seguiremos admirando Desdé un inmenso saludo a quienes hacen posible conocer a esta gran artista
She was certainly one of my favorites. An absolutely unique voice, never to be heard again. I saw her onstage in Hoffmann, Esclarmonde, Giovanni, Lucia, Puritans, Trovatore, and a few others. Some of those 1970s performances were before the advent of subtitles so, to be honest, I didn’t really understand what was going on. But I enjoyed it anyway. I also saw her recitals in Brooklyn and Buffalo, of all places, and had the opportunity to meet them twice backstage. To my surprise, and contrary to their PR, Bonynge was way more pleasant and friendly in conversation. Dame Joan seemed a little impatient with the public.
@@ahogbin2644 she probably was tired. I caught her after a mid 80's Norma at the Liceo....she went and sat in the car and her hubby proceded to sign autographs for half an hour keeping her waiting!
What a treat to watch!! Documents like this become very rare. Anyone know the name of the “cuckoo” aria at 35:15? I don’t think it’s in the description
While I love this video for the insights it gives us into Joan's life and career, I have to say that from a production point of view, it comes across as very roughly cobbled together in a disjointed fashion. For instance, we go from Joan's 1965 Australian tour straight back to London where she's recording a Wagner aria. I'm happy to see any footage about Joan but from an objective point of view, this is a very sloppy doco.

At last, a documentary that really explains the Sutherland phenomenon and the sheer hugeness of her voice.

46:56 "Please put out any cigarettes..." says the flight attendant. Wow! Those were the days!
Indeed. I miss the random 2nd hand I could enjoy😂
This was beautiful ❤

Gracias por mostrar este video de la MEJOR SOPRANO DEL MUNDO!!!!!
La voz más hermosa de la lirica
If I remember correctly this was shown by the BBC. Most enjoyable. Thank you very much.
51:17 I just died of laughter Richard: Remember you're the trumpet Joan: I don't feel very much like a trumpet today! That was Joan.....to a T
OMG She's singing The Cuckoo song!!!!!!!! I love her doing this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wonderful couple!
Beautiful in and out GREAT Joan Sutherland! She is the music itself!

Yes, I thought Joan was rather imperious towards the end. All part of a carefully-cultivated image I suppose and she was La Stupenda after all.

Es natural, después de cada presentación uno quiere no hablar, descansar, y encima tener que atender un río de gente.
Joan was shy . Richard was at ease in company . He also had better health .
❤️ Dame Joan Sutherland ❤️
Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for posting this. I love Joan. The BEST!
Thank you so much for loading this up!!! I adore Joan since I am 12 years old......
Oh I totally enjoyed every darned minute of that. Thank you SO much for uploading the whole thing. Absolutely WONDERFUL!
Thank you so much for uploading!!! 💜💜💜💜
Thank you! What year was this filmed?
Nevermind, I see it was said 1979
What a treat to watch!! Documents like this become very rare. Anyone know the name of the “cuckoo” aria at 35:15? I don’t think it’s in the description
Abt: Kukuk, wie alt?
@@lastupendajoansutherland Thank you 🙏 ❤️
GOOD LORD all that tacky bric a brac her camp husband littered the home with.
As Joan says 18:37 "a lot of it I can frankly do without!" 😂
What year was this again?!
It was released in 1979
1h09 a little house
I bet all that recording equipment could be replaced with a coupla macbooks today...

Greatest singer ever. I hate the Sidney opera house as a building. It's awful
