Saw DJS in 4 live performances in the 70’s-80’s!!!❤

I had last seen her in 1986 (Puritani) and 1987 (Trovatore), and her voice, although a little more effortful, was still splendid. Never to be forgotten experiences.

Joan forever!

What a huge opulent voice in the upper area - with perfect trills. Such a fascinating singer - even at this point in her career. Kraus always sounds like his younger self - even here in his 60's! Thanks for posting this!

Even in the penultimate year of her glorious career she was singing this role superlatively well. I was lucky to hear the Covent Garden Lucrezia in 1980. It was absolutely magnificent.

Unequaled even near the very end…the great one, the stupendous one

Preciosa puesta en escena con unos magníficos intérpretes, una grandísima Lucrecia y el mejor Gennaro que se puede desear. Alfredo Kraus es un tenor único e inolvidable. Gracias.
