The Operas 1959-1970 Box Set - Complete Collection of Classic Opera Recordings | Perfect for Opera Enthusiasts & Music Collectors | Great Gift for Classical Music Lovers

The complete opera recordings made by Joan Sutherland are offered as two volumes. The first encompasses recordings from 1959 to 1970 includes an early example of her Mozart, singing Donna Anna in Don Giovanni (with Giulini, 1959), a ‘live’ Alcina recorded the same year with Fritz Wunderlich, the first of two recordings of Lucia di Lammermoor (Pritchard), as well as Faust, Norma, Semiramide, Lakmé and Les Huguenots (all conducted by Bonynge). No Sutherland offering would be complete without rarities, and this volume includes highlights from Graun’s Montezuma and Bononcini’s Griselda.  Accompanying each edition are insightful notes from Raymond McGill, an introduction by Richard Bonynge, and an audio documentary by Jon Tolansky. The booklets accompanying each set are lavishly illustrated with photographs, some from the Richard Bonynge archive which have not previously been published.
