jaimeeduardo 21st Feb 2014		Set title and set catalogue number from container. Automatic sequence (Disc 1 contains sides 1 and 4, A and D; Disc 2 contains sides 2 and 3, B and C). Includes insert (8 p.) with photos and notes on celebrated sopranos identified with the selections recorded here. On track D1, Delibes is incorrect on label as "Dilibes;" on D3, "Obeau" is joined. It should be "O beau ..." Issued also in stereo: OSA 1214. This 2-disc set was one of a series of fine boxed sets featuring Joan Sutherland issued in the 1960s. These sets followed her successful debut (1959) at Covent Garden in the difficult title role of Lucia di Lammermoor, a time when opera audiences were eagerly awaiting these spectacular recordings. Though her debut as a singer at Covent Garden was in the 1952/53 season, stardom took some years to achieve. Her husband, conductor Richard Bonynge, soon took over as conductor for her subsequent recordings.
