Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars La Stupenda at her best.......2007-05-06

This 2 CD set is entitled "La Stupenda," which creates extremely high expectations. Joan Sutherland meets those expectations on this CD; she is, indeed, "La Stupenda." One of the interesting aspects of this set is Dame Joan's singing some non operatic works (such as "Home Sweet Home" or "Where Are the Songs We Sung?" or "Falling in Love with Love"). In the end, this is a wonderful compilation of the art of Joan Sutherland.

First, let's consider a sampling of the cuts on these CDs.

"O Zittre Nicht" is from Mozart's "Magic Flute" and it is a challenge to sopranos, with its series of staccato high notes. Sutherland essays this well. There are some nice trills; she hits the high notes well. The series of (treacherous) high notes toward the end is handled very nicely by Sutherland. In short, she scintillates, with a closing high note well hit.

From Donizetti's "Linda di Chamounix," she sings "O luce di questi'anima." Her voice and technique are well suited for Donizetti (and Bellini). The cantabile is smoothly sung. The cabaletta is rollicking. Her coloratura technique is on target; the ornamentation is compelling. There are trills, runs, high notes and other ornamentation well done. The close is nice (although there may be a bit of a scoop on the final high note).

From "Beatrice di Tenda" (by Bellini), we hear ""Eccomi pronta. . .Deh, se un'urna." The cantabile is sung well. She hits notes clearly. The spirited cabaletta follows. Sutherland exhibits somewhat less ornamentation than usual, but trills are well done and, overall, the piece is nicely sung. The close features clean high notes.

"Home Sweet Home." This kind of illustrates Joan Sutherland's work nicely. I can hardly make out the words (and it is sung in English). But it is an interesting version. She sings the song straight, without overpowering the song with operatic technique (an occasional trill actually works out well).

Elsewhere, I have commented on her 1959 version of the "Mad Scene" from "Lucia di Lammermoor" (from her album "The Greatest Hits").

"Falling in Love with Love" is an interesting cut. This is a classic Rodgers and Hart song. Sutherland sings it pretty well, and one can pick up the words cleanly. However, one might compare this with Anna Moffo's version, which is more musical. Sutherland's version is a bit too operatic for what the song is about.

Finally, "Ah non giunge" from Bellini's "La Sonnambula," a great coloratura tune! This is taken at a sprightly pace. Sutherland exhibits good coloratura technique. There is nice ornamentation. She precisely nails high notes. In the repeat, the florid singing ramps up. This is a compelling version, with series of staccato high notes to close the work out.

Thus, this 2 CD set is a welcome entrée to the body of work of Dame Joan Sutherland. Sometimes (as with "Home Sweet Home") one has a hard time picking out the words. But with Sutherland, the skills and techniques create a compelling oeuvre that is well worth attending to.

5 out of 5 stars this is the one to buy.......2007-04-18

I'm not an opera expert I just enjoy it. La Stupenda has the best of Joan Sutherland in a two CD set and it's amazing. She looked like a nice, quiet housewife but an indescribalbe voice. Her aria from Norma gave me chills and her version of "I Dreamed I Dwelt in Marble Halls" is flat out one of the prettiest things I've ever heard.

5 out of 5 stars La Stupenda lives up to her name.......2006-11-12

Joan Sutherland was undeniably one of the greatest operatic sopranos of the 20th century. This comprehensive two-CD retrospective of her long career will delight her many fans, and serve as a fitting introduction for those unfamiliar with her artistry. The two CDs span a period of nearly thirty years, from 1959 to 1988, with the majority of the 27 tracks recorded during the 1960s and 1970s, when her voice was at its' astounding best. Sutherland was renowned first and foremost as a dramatic coloratura, and her supple technique is brilliantly illustrated in selections such as the Mad Scene from Lucia di Lammermoor; Doll Song from The Tales of Hoffmann; Queen of the Night aria from The Magic Flute; and the seldom-performed Concerto for Coloratura Soprano by Gliere. As her career progressed, her voice became larger and more powerful, as demonstrated by the Liebestod from Wagner's Tristan and Isolde, and In Questa Reggia from Puccini's Turandot. Lastly, Sutherland was a diva who was not afraid to let her hair down once in a while, and we are treated to lighter selections such as Where are the songs we sung? by Noel Coward, and Falling in love with love, by Rogers and Hart. Highly recommended for all lovers of great singing.

5 out of 5 stars La Stupenda, Amore, amore, amore.......2006-01-28

I adore this woman's voice. And I love this cd. I was really happy to find an aria of "Esclarmonde" which is virtually impossible to find as well as some of the more lesser known works of hers such as Mozart's Queen of Night, although I wish she had done a recording of the revenge aria (Der Holle Roche) The whole cd was wonderful to hear but if I had to make on complaint it's that I didn't buy her Isolde's Liebestod but the woman can sing Lucia better than just about anyone so I'll forgive her for not sticking with the Wagner. In fact I am thrilled that she chose Lucia over Isolde because frankly acting and interperation was never her strong suit, it was the pure beauty of her voice. It's always a grand pleasure to listen to Joan kick butt in any coloratura arias but of course she set the bar so high that there is yet a coloratura since her that can do those arias half as well. She has spoiled me for life and that's why she is La Stupenda.

5 out of 5 stars La Stupenda - well deserved title for Joan.......2006-01-12

I am not an opera expert by any stretch of the imagination - but I love opera. I love the expertise and beautiful voices of these hardworking singers. When I first heard Joan sing, it was from a recording she made late in her career and I honestly thought, what's the big deal about her? So, I decided to get The Art of Prima Donna album, and all I have to say is WOW! In her prime, this woman was a fantastic singer! While she wasn't the dramatist like Callas was (I also love Callas), her range and the way she hit each note so precisely was amazing! So, I bought La Stupenda. I loved the piece she did from Handel's Alcia and the fantastic Rossini duet she did with Marilyn Horn. The entire album is wonderful. I particularly like how Joan's high notes are never screechy - she makes those high notes sound so effortless. I also appreciate how she had such control over her vibrato - not too trilly (I like trilly - especially by Beverly Sills - however, not every song should be all trill). Finally, I think that Joan was one of the few sopranos that didn't try to drown everyone out. When she sang a duet, she blended with the other singer - how rare! Not all singers seem to be able to accomplish that - duets shouldn't be a competition. This album is worth every penny. Joan was one of the great singers of the 20th century and she deserves her title of La Stupenda!

    5 out of 5 stars Ketelbey must have influenced the great film soundtrack composers .......2006-09-02

    I can see how this music might have been used as accompaniment to a showing of the silent film "Thief of Baghdad", or "The Sheik", or any one of those swashbucklers. Not that the exotic was all that Ketelbey indulged in, as this CD will reveal. I recommend it highly. And for those interested in historical recordings, try the 1921 Peerless Orchestra recording of "Monastery Garden", which is part of the Library of Congress archive and which is available to listen to or to download for free as a .wav file at [...]. This is the website for Birmingham, England, the composer's birthplace.

    This music helped me to be totally relaxe and completely entertained.
    Of particular interest for me was "Wedgewood Blue" and "Meditation", both performed beautifully.
    I highly recommend this imported German CD and add that, due to the rarity of some of the tracks, it is a good idea to not delay.

    5 out of 5 stars Rare French Musique..........2007-02-12

    .
    Nice reissue of some rare French piano music, at a bargan rate.

    Ciccolini is an adequate pianist who specializes in French art. His readings of Satie are questionable--but Massenet's piano pieces are otherwise unobtainable.

    Jules Massenet is not widely remembered now--aside from a couple of operas which maintain a toehold in the repetoire. In his heyday during the Second Empire, however, he was an important teacher and opera impresario. These little piano pieces reflect the pale rosy eroticism popular in art during the corrupt reign of Napoleon III.

    On this disc Italian avant-garde accordionist Teodoro Anzellotti spins out the charming, lilting, and quite familiar solo piano melodies of Erik Satie (the entire "Sports et Divertissements" and "Gnossiennes," the always popular "Three Elegant Waltzes by a Squeamish Pansy," and others). While this music was composed in perhaps Satie's most humorous period, the accordion does not emphasize that quality or turn it into kitsch. Instead Anzellotti takes Satie's mostly linear melodies and teases them out into clouds of chords, like straight hair is teased into a burr, a rat's nest. Not that the music becomes an absolute blur, but instead the crisp and sharp are changed into something more warm and enveloping. Through his techniques, the transitions faintly overlap and tempos are ever-so-slightly halted, all with the effect of rendering the very familiar less so. Beautiful. --Robin Edgerton

    5 out of 5 stars SUPERB!.......2006-11-05

    Jules Massenet breaths life into the work of Erik Satie through the senuous, surging outpourings of a spare accordion. Outstanding transciption and recording!

    4 out of 5 stars Erik Satie... on accordion..........2001-03-20

    This CD is a collection of Erik Satie solo piano pieces performed on solo accordion... it sounds like... Erik Satie... on accordion. Which is a good thing! Very tastefully done, Mr. Anzellotti sticks to the written notes without over-interpretation or campiness. Heard on accordion, the pieces take on a uniquely dreamy, nostalgic, and slightly surreal quality, especially the exotic "Gnossiennes." The familiar "Gymnopedie #1" sounds especially lovely in this setting, and the jauntier sections of "Sports and Divertissments" benefit from the playful quality of the accordion. While an hour of solo accordion is a bit much in one sitting, this is a wonderful release for those wanting to hear Satie's music in a refreshing new light. Mr. Satie himself would be pleased, no doubt! (And as usual, the Winter & Winter label outdoes itself with beautiful packaging and design!)

      5 out of 5 stars Ysaye--One of the Violin Immortals.......2000-03-22

      Eugene Ysaye is one of the great 20th century violinists. This cd contains all known Ysaye recordings. The last four tracks are tracks of him conducting the Cincinnati Symphony. His touch and sweet tone are remarkable. When you hear him play, his style is unmistakable. Isaac Stern regards Ysaye as one of the great influences on his playing. This is a cd to have if you value hearing all the great violinists. The quality is fine and very clear, considering how old all of these originally were.

        Album Description

        Beautiful music from the great masters of classical music will provide the perfect atmosphere for romance. This selection of classical masterpieces moves from festive baroque orchestra sounds to a romantic piano solo, and from a tender guitar concerto to a dreamy mandolin. These sensual classics are the musical equivalent of the French impressionist painters.
