Saw DJS in 4 live performances in the 70’s-80’s!!!❤

I had last seen her in 1986 (Puritani) and 1987 (Trovatore), and her voice, although a little more effortful, was still splendid. Never to be forgotten experiences.

Joan forever!

What a huge opulent voice in the upper area - with perfect trills.
Such a fascinating singer - even at this point in her career.
Kraus always sounds like his younger self - even here in his 60's!
Thanks for posting this!

Even in the penultimate year of her glorious career she was singing this role superlatively well. I was lucky to hear the Covent Garden Lucrezia in 1980. It was absolutely magnificent.

Preciosa puesta en escena con unos magníficos intérpretes, una grandísima Lucrecia y el mejor Gennaro que se puede desear. Alfredo Kraus es un tenor único e inolvidable. Gracias.
