Recorded - Victoria Hall, Geneva, September 1969 "Who would have thought that Offenbach's Robinson Crusoe had such a glorious waltz song as the first item in this brilliant collection of twenty French arias? A coloratura bombshell ... the lyrical numbers cover a wide range, and it is good to hear the expansion of Sutherland's voice in such an aria as Louise's "Depuis le jour". It is good too to have favourites like that put among the many rarities ... as well as the Robinson Crusoe aria you have a stunning Auber song rather like French-styled Gilbert and Sillivan, astonishingly enough a laughing song for the heroine from his setting of Manon Lescaut. I also enjoyed enormously the rather vulgar Boléro of Lecocq ... good accompaniment and outstanding recording quality. It is good that Sutherland and her husband are prepared to use personal popularity in promoting music that would otherwise be buried ... these treasure are not all diamonds musically, but they certainly sparkle."Gramophone | | (Sorry, download not available in your country) | |

| |  | A Gala Concert with Joan Sutherland and Marilyn Horne
A 1961 concertante performance of Vincenzo Bellini's Beatrice di Tenda was of lasting importance in the careers of the two prima donnas. It was here that they met each other and performed together for the first time, and thereafter they formed a brilliant partnership who starred together in many performances and concerts of works from the bel canto repertoire. This recording of a gala concert at Sydney Opera House offers a varied programme presenting a representative cross-section from the extraordinarily broad repertoires of both these exceptional singers. Each of them performs as a soloist on a variety of songs and operatic arias, and naturally they also join voices for bravura performances of famous operatic duets. And finally the two singers show with Benedict's "The Gypsy and the Bird" and Foster's "Beautiful Dreamer" that they are not above indulging a taste for lighter musical forms. Recording Date: 1986
Place of recording: From the Sydney Opera House
Running Time: 141 min
