3 - Anna Russell giving a synopsis of "Das Rheingold" Posted by: LindoroRossini
Video duration: 472 seconds Anna Russell did many wonderful parodies, but her best one was surely the thorough synopsis of Wagner's Ring Cycle. Presented here is the first part of this parody, "Das Rheingold". Related: anna, das, rheingold, russell, valkyrie, wagner |

Joan Sutherland singing Rossini's "Bel raggio lusinghier" Posted by: LindoroRossini
Video duration: 400 seconds Joan Sutherland's "the Art of the Primadonna" is certainly well known to opera lovers. Sutherland was always a most wonderful singer, but this was one of her best (if not THE best) recordings. Presented here, is the aria of Queen Semiramide from Rossini's "Semiramide". There are numerous versions of this aria, but, for me this will always be the best. Related: art, bel, coloratura, joan, lusinghier, of, opera, primadonna, raggio, rossini, sutherland, the |

2 - Anna Russell singing "I love the spring" and "Da, nyet" Posted by: LindoroRossini
Video duration: 396 seconds This is my second download of Anna Russell being... Anna Russell. This time we go, as indicated by the great lady herself, into simpler repetoire, which proves to be even funnier than the coloratura air: presented here are a "gentle" pastorale and a "very Russian" folk song. Hope you enjoy (comments are required :-) )! Related: anna, anne, coloratura, comedy, folk, funny, pastorale, russell, russian, sings, song |

Joan Sutherland singing Handel's "Tornami a vagheggiar" Posted by: LindoroRossini
Video duration: 316 seconds This music clip is my answer to loganfacincy26's excellent post of Sutherland singing "Tornami a vagheggiar". This is a very early clip: about 1960. What is also interesting, is the fact that Sutherland seems to be singing the aria as Morgana, rather than Alcina! Hope you enjoy! Related: alcina, coloratura, handel, joan, opera, sutherland |
