Sutherland,Joan Voice Of The Century CD

To celebrate the life of legendary Australian soprano Dame Joan Sutherland, known by her legions of fans as 'La Stupenda', who has died at the age of 83. Although most admired in the bel canto operas of Donizetti and Bellini, the sheer breadth and variety of recordings Joan Sutherland made over more than 30 years recording for Decca is impressive by any standard. They include 40 recordings of 33 different operas, as well as operatic highlights, anthologies and specially conceived collections of music ranging from baroque rarities to selections from operetta and songs by Noel Coward who was a personal friend. As well as representing Joan Sutherland's greatest operatic stage roles, the track list also includes rarely heard arias and songs from her many recital albums, and duets with her frequent recording partner Luciano Pavarotti. This two disc compendium includes arias from Lucia di Lammermoor, La sonnambula, Norma, Lakme, Semiramide, La Fille du Regiment, Turandot, and many more.
