A wonderful performance from Joan who makes some ravishing sounds across her impressive range. I love the way Richard looks like he is paddling the keyboard!
This is new to me. Wonderful song! Beautifully sung. Joan's standards were so high, she always gave the best performance she could, 100% always. There is no one who so enjoyed singing to us, who loved us as much as we loved her.
You all, fools, may say what you like, but another one like her, and the others of her generation, we'll never hear again...This is what singing used to be: GREAT!
yes, great great singing - i heard/saw her in 1973 in 'Lucia' in London at Covent Garden - i saw all performances in the run - there are not words to say how wonderful it was.
This concert is available on DVD, "The Art of Joan Sutherland", from the CBC archives. You can find it on Amazon. It's a wonderful concert and great dvd.
At least she sings in Russian (btw, do you speak Russian to know if she speaks it correctly or not?), while the vast majority of non-Slavic singers record this song in other languages, like French. Besides, come on, at least half of this song is pure vocalise, there are no words in it. ;-)
This performance is not bad but to really masterpiece is very far. Please compere with Bogna's Sokorska Nightingale. Bogna performed this song much, much better. It's easy to find Ms Sokorska recording in the UA-cam. Divine!
Wonderful singing, but the accent somehow throws me off, and I’m a Russian (who understands the lyrics)..... She could have done some pronunciations differently. I love and respect her though! Such a great singer!!
Может и хорошо для того, кто не слышал наших русских певиц. Технично, но колоратуры исполнены непривычно, не в том темпе. Непохож на нашего русского" Соловья".
@@user-so2tj5bl7o сказала бы, что это совершенство, возведённое в абсолют. Евгения Семёновна - мое самое любимое колоратурное сопрано, уникальная певица, с природной постановкой голоса.
@@atr46 Уважаемая Ирина Атрощенко. Простите меня, пожалуйста, но я удалила свой комментарий, и Ваш ответ остался висеть в "воздухе". Приятно было поговорить с человеком, любящим Евгению Мирошниченко. Еще раз прошу у Вас прощения.
Although Joan is a superb singer this is just too far away from her forte, the diction is ok for a non-Russian speaker, but is clearly a struggle that is pulling things down, the tempo and phrasing is strange and off, probably due to Mr.Bonynge's interpretation/direction. Probably should not have been done, so many other options to showcase Mdm.Sutherland's gifts.
@@liedersanger1 I ADORE Leontyne - one of the ultimate greats! (However I don't think Leontyne had the courage to use her above High C range in public like Joan Sutherland did as a matter of course..but then Joan WAS a "coloratura" ...lol..it's fun to compare and comment though isn't it?)
Typical Joan Sutherland...I was beginning to nod off halfway through. Mechanical, wooden. Much prefer the rendition of Albina Shagimuratova. This gal puts some Life and Joy into it. Sounds like a different piece altogether. And what language is Joan singing in? I can never tell, Sounds a bit French to me, a mushy French at that.
Albana has a small ugly voice and less than acceptable technique, that's why she has to scream high Fs ,make weird faces and hand movements while singing. Dame Joan expressess everything with one single note
You clearly don't like Sutherland, so of course you won't like her interpretation. I don't know why some opera fans are so masochist. However, your perception on this is very controversial. I much prefer this slower, more lyrical and fierce approach to the song than the feisty canary-like singing of most interpreters of this song, especially the "tin-pot" coloraturas that often sing it. And there is a good reason for that: if you read the translation of the complete Russian lyrics of "Solovey", it's clearly a poetic and melancholy song, not a song to be sung as a happy peasantress cheerfully mimicking the birds, not even with a lot of "joy".
too many lows in her voice, her timbre is somewhat thick and dark for this, so the voice should be thinner, higher-pitched, lighter to sing it better. Nightingale (Solovey) is for coloratura soprano, but she is just a common soprano
@@annette175 Not a coloratura? Five years AFTER the performance in this video, she recorded The Doll Song...including trills on high C and perfect staccati on the Eb. Only a high soprano, with coloratura, could sing Olympia's music with such ease. ua-cam.com/video/BAyktaGI8pw/v-deo.html
Coloratura and soprano arent conflicting terms. Any voice type can have an ability to sing coloratura. Even that being said, Sutherland IS a coloratura; probably the or one of the greatest coloratura voices in recording history. She is a soprano... a coloratura soprano

I dont know what people are going on about. I can make out every single word in this performance. EVERY WORD.
There are none so deaf as those who will not hear.

Truer words
Stunningly beautiful singing and wonderful interpretation. BRAVA JOAN
Gorgeous performance and Joan looked really really beautiful in pink.

Battle is good too, but a different voice and time.
Magnificent.Sutherland at her peak!😊💞

Прекрасное пение, не смотря на то, что практически нет правильного произношения, но это совсем неважно, суть песни соловья сохранилась полностью
So glad to hear this...didn't know she sang it. Is it available on a recording anywhere? Joan looks wonderful in that pink dress, too. :-)
@Sutherland2 So true! She always said her goal was to make us listeners happy. I think she succeeded.
27 years before I was born
She sings a contralto version. I mean literally. The original is in D minor.
Великолепно

Это написано для колоратурного сопрано, а не для меццо-контральто

Australian Diva Vocalising Russian, diction compromises are necessary otherwise the instrument may be compromised trying to speak diction.

@@user-so2tj5bl7o я ее слушала вживую на гастролях в Лючии Ди Ламмермур, Эдгард был Анатолий Соловьяненко. Это ее коронная партия.
Старательно спела. Но, этот романс более воздушным должен быть..
Здесь более приземленно.
No soprano, living or dead, could touch her.
Sutherland is magnificent always, beautiful sound, but where are the words ? never mind, it is the same in whatever language she sings
Я привыкла к другой манере пения этого произведения. Какие- то непонятные акценты. По технике все исполнение прекрасно.
Don't like her on this. Go and see Bogna Sokorska. That is the way to sing this.
Alas, no.
but much better and natural is Bogna Sokorska's performance.

Wasn't all that!
Too lazy to learn the music by heart.
I don't think a woman with over 50 operas in her repertoire was lazy.
I think she was intimidated by foreign languages.
I didn’t say she was lazy overall, just lazy about her recitals. Too busy, if you prefer. Caballe also read from music in concert.

Charles Henry She is singing in Russian.
she's singing in Russian there with an accent, a Russian song Solovey
Charles Henry who are you. On a mission. Too late. She is already a legend. Try destroying someone else.

Анаит Гдлян you need to do some homework.

Joan sutherland, a Common soprano?
@@misanthropelife not coloratura, l meant. Rather dark-toned voice

bad interpretation, she do not understand the essence of song

MrQwerty88 and one of two true dramatic coloratura sopranos of the last 100 years. People are truly idiots posting here
not for spinto dramatic surely. And also not even full lyric one
