Agree completely with all that JA. While I love Pavarotti and he is probably the greatest ever Tenor, Sutherland was the greatest opera singer of all time, male or female and probably by a bit...
Of course the reason I love the recital recording I originally posted is because it is raw and natural, an instrument voice and a piano
Ps. Arhem..after a few beers out at the observatory...oh yeah..I can almost convince myself
