There was only one, Dame Joan Sutherland.
Phenomenal voice always.

Never will I, or hopefully the world, tire of hearing Dame Joan Sutherland. This is STUPENDOUS. Thank you.

The Rolls Royce of voices

[@timfincham3756]

The sheer size of that opulent voice is rightly stupendous

[@MrStpendouslvforjo]

What a treasure this is!! In 1970, Joan's voice was so full and opulent - yet still had that youthful gleam! Thank you so much for posting this!

[@crisha721]

I have never heard this recitl. This is the first time I hear her sing Plaisir D'amour. Lovely!!!! Thank you so much

[@ahogbin2644]

Glorious! It’s the superb musicianship that strikes me almost above the quality of the unique voice. No one sings with this kind of joy today. Thanks so much.

[@christiaandhooghe]

When hearing her sing Delius and also the Grieg lieder.....wish she'd sung MORE lieder.
It is SO good and she could have put herself more out there as a lieder singer.
English, German repertoire etc.
Thank you for sharing this beautiful recording!

This set list is full of surprises!

This recital would have probably been organized by the Opera Company and it’s director Irving Guttman. He almost always recorded operas and concerts he was involved in.
I listened to many of those recordings in his home in Vancouver.
Wonderful memories. This recording is new to me.
Thank you for sharing.

Joan's prodigious tone rides on a phenomenal column of air and the phrasing arches like the Sydney Harbour Bridge.

[@crazyorganist1609]

So beautiful. Her interpretation of the Scottish folk songs is particularly moving
