This album is one of her favorite collections of recordings, the long unavailable \"Romantic French Arias,\" with the addition of a collection of arias recorded in the same Geneva setting (first released in 2004) with piano accompaniment by her husband Richard Boning. 2 CD set. It was recorded in 1969, just before Sutherland's 43rd birthday, almost halfway through her life. Richard Bonning, her husband and mentor, said of the recording: \"I have seen the Bel Canto operas. Critics told us that the audience who comes to see bel canto opera comes to see a circus of voices. The singers walk on high wires, doing vocal gymnastics. But if they are great singers, they do it beautifully. It's very exciting. Few vocal recital albums express that thrill so vividly. The songs from Aubert's \"Fra Diavolo,\" Offenbach's \"Robinson Crusoe,\" and especially Maierbeer's \"Polaris\" display a remarkable lightness of touch, deftness, range stability, and character delicacy.Sutherland is at the pinnacle of his superb power in spectacular fashion, effortlessly and consistently beautifully unfurling every cadenza, arpeggio, and high note in some of the most elaborate and technically demanding French arias ever written. Includes a booklet with rare photos and new liner notes.
