Featuring Joan Sutherland
London/Decca
This is a fantastic compilation cd of Dame Joan. The best thing for an established fan or a new comer! She really shines throughout the entire disc and every song is a gem. The recording quality is super and very nicely remastered. As the finale they have included the Mad Scene from Dame Joan's very first recording of Lucia di Lammermoor. Personally, my favorite song (and one of my all-time favorite Joan Sutherland numbers) is Let the Bright Seraphim, which is absolutely stupendous! All in all, highly recommended! This was one of the very first opera cds that I purchased and is still my favorite!
Handel: Let the Bright Seraphim from Samson
Arditi: Il Bacio
Lehar: Vilja from The Merry Widow
Strauss: Nuns' Chorus from Casanova
Donizetti: Salut a la France! from La Fille du Regiment
Delibes: Bell Song from Lakme
Bellini: Casta Diva from Norma
Gounod: Jewel Song from Faust
Donizetti: Mad Scene from Lucia Di Lammermoor
