Sutherland is highlighted here in various stages of her now legendary long career. Of course, the earlier readings are superior to the later ones. The highlights are "Let the bright seraphim", and the "Mad Scene". To truely hear this vocal phenomenal of this century. I highly, highly recommend Sutherland's "The Art of the Prima Donna". THAT, is the greatest recording of the century for a coloratura soprano. It is Sutherland's "resume"

The selections here really span the length of the great Dame's legendary career. The many incredibly difficult arias here are all sung to perfection by the diva. This recording clearly shows that Dame Joan Sutherland was the supreme bel canto singer of this century.

La Stupenda's list of aria is impressive, and the singing is definitive. One of the best choices out there.

This is spectacular. But the cd "The Art of the Prima Donna" remains the definitive last word in the art of bel canto singing. Sutherland is far more fantastic in that album.
This greatest hit is a super buy. But if you want to hear what they say is the most phenomenal coloratura display ever recorded, I recommend "The Art of the Prima Donna". ...
