Product Description

From Amazon.com

Sutherland's second recording of I Puritani is a substantial step beyond her first, thanks largely to the excellent cast assembled around her and to Richard Bonynge's growth in power and subtlety as a conductor. Her voice was still at or near its peak when she made this recording, and her verbal (as contrasted with purely vocal) skills had grown. Still, her mad scene, heard immediately after Callas's, comes cross as more pretty than dramatic. On the other hand, the ensemble singing in this performance is superb. --Joe McLellan

4.0 out of 5 stars A deal on this excellent recording, April 14 2004
By GaryAve "GaryAve" (Sanity Monica, CA) - See all my reviews
I originally had this performance on LP (and saw a very similar performance at the Met). Having recently acquired it again on CD, the only complaint I'm going to mention is with the recording, balance is occasionally off and there are fortissimo sections seemingly recorded at too high a level (the music seems to flare, or blare -- sorry if my terminology is askew). For those who have complained about the high price, I too put off this purchase due to cost. However (and I don't know if I can get away with stating this here), the recording is more widely available in Europe and you can acquire it via the web through European sellers whose prices are a good deal more reasonable. The service I used is a classical distributor out of Birmingham, England called Crotchet (the English term for a quarter-note); their service was impeccable and the price was approximately $43 U.S. Crotchet can be contacted through www.crotchet.co.uk.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sutherland at her mature best!, Feb 2 2004
By Emma de Soleil "I moved to the UK for another... (On a holiday In Ibiza, then back to the UK for studies) - See all my reviews
This is one of the greatest recordings of Bellini's masterpiece featuring Joan Sutherland not only as a most brilliant singer but also as a mature performer. A very complete recording with a stellar cast, a MUST BUY for every belcanto-fan.

4.0 out of 5 stars Wow, wow and wow!!!, Jan 19 2004
By John C. Kane (Houston, Texas) - See all my reviews
This really is the primo rendition of I Puritani. Pavoratti, Ghiaurov and Sutherland are all in peak form. Truly a must-have for the bel canto lovers!

5.0 out of 5 stars wonderful Puritani
Sutherland recorded two fantastic Puritani. The first one with Duval has a girlish, opulent, open sound, with bigger voice and more spectacular high notes. Read more
