One of the greatest sopranos ever. Wonderful rendition with perfect technique and marvelous voice. She knew exactly what bel canto singing is about. Modern sopranos should listen carefully to this lesson on singing properly.
She looks so much like dear Joan.......her approach is so different....but she has a very clear PRECISE ability with the fast stuff......She's fascinating to me
Yes, she physically resembles Joan Sutherland. But June Anderson is no Sutherland, vocally speaking, and those of us who remember Sutherland on stage in the role of Lucia--both vocally and visually--know that she OWNED the role, primarily but not only due to the incredible agility and richness of her voice, particularly in the upper register. (I know you are a great admirer of Sutherland's as well.) Certainly, June Anderson is a very fine singer and artist (compared to the caliber of singers we have nowadays), but still not possessing the phenomenal quality of voice and technique that was Sutherland's.
Yes, she's definitely a dramatic coloratura. She does have a protruding chin and cheekbones like Sutherland, and they both specialize in Bel Canto repertoire. But they have very distinctive approaches.
I agree (and my favorite of this fach). She has enough fullness to be taken seriously, but there's nothing really dramatic there. Her singing is florid, lyrical, always feminine. There is no weight, force, reclamation.

Sutherland and Anderson certainly have different instruments but I disagree strongly with the suggestion that hers was a lesser technique
A tono... brava!!!

she is a lyric colorature

She is not a lyric coloratura. She's a dramatic coloratura.
