In many ways, this was Sutherland's return to form, for the much criticised mooning is largely absent. The voice is firm, rich, and she's fully in control of it. And for me that's the first problem: There's just no getting away from the fact that here is a very mature, matronly heroine, who sounds in the pink of health. Violetta is supposed to be young and desperately ill...
Some singers allow little vocal frailties into their singing to bring the character alive (Cotrubas, Gheorghiu, Callas). Sutherland never does, and her attempts at being expressive strike me as...manufactured. She sounds like a not-so-young diva enjoying a big sing. But in a role she's grown out of. The artful drawing on the cover, which attempts to take back ... Read More:

If you are looking for a purely musical Traviata, then this is the one to go for. It captures Sutherland, Pavarotti and Manuguerra in exciting form. Of course, no one makes any attempt at conveying the drama, but that is part of the fun. A bargain at Amazon's price, well recorded, superbly sung, and with an extensive essay and a libretto with full translations.

Being something of a Traviata-holic I can only say that in my opinion this is the very best, the definitive "La Traviata". The main attraction is of course a young but exciting Pavarotti. His singing is breathtaking and spell binding. Not only does he make the hairs on your neck stand up, he reduced me to shivers of pleasure. What I also got and didn't expect is the sheer joy and beauty of Joan Sutherland's haunting voice. This recording is so stunning that I can only take it in small doses. It moves me to tears.

Joan Sutherland has often been critiscised as "swalloing her vowel sounds and slurring her consonants". Whilst she does seemingly do this, her diction is not nearly as bad as some people make it out to be. Diction aside, her singing, espeically in this recording of "La Traviata" is fautless, each not is hit with ear splitting precision, however not only is this recording (especially Sempre Libera) a superb showcase for the human voice, embodied by both stars, but it is also a perfect example of the amazing results produced by a conductor attentive not only to the score but to the differing stlyes of the singers. Perhaps being married to the star is an unfair advantage, but the result justifies this!
