Bravissima!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!, May 24, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: The Bell Telephone Hour - Opera: Two to Six (Great Operatic Ensembles) [VHS] (VHS Tape)
Recorded in Sutherland's absolute prime when she was the greatest coloratura soprano of our time, Sutherland was without peers. Hear her as the only true DRAMATIC coloratura of this century as she attack all the notes in this tape with complete certainty and perfection. You will love this recording. Very interesting were the Tosca scene with Gobbi. It was said that Gobbi tried to get Joan to sing Tosca!!! Imagine that. Bravissima!!!

The Queen of opera shows why she has no rivals. Certainly not Callas or Sills. She remains Prima Donna Assoluta...Absolute First Lady.
Listen to her rendition of the arias and ensembles here is to listen to the golden age.
