RECORDING INFORMATION Decca’s recorded legacy is dominated by the huge number of complete opera recordings and vocal recitals. While a vast number of these recordings have seen CD release in the past 20 years, many of the original LP recitals have been reissued with other material in order to increase the overall playing time due to the longer time available on CD and modern covers have replaced the originals. This new mini-series is unashamedly nostalgic and presents original recitals as they were first published during the 1950s and 1960s. Original LP cover art is reproduced and the original back of the LP is used as the inside of the digipack. A clear tray is used with a detail from the original LP sleeve as a background, and the back of the digipack gives the tracklist and artist details in a uniform, current style. This is the second group of Classic Recitals. The name of Joan Sutherland, “La Stupenda”, is synonymous with Decca. She achieved overnight international fame when, having been a member of the Covent Garden Company in the early 1950s, she sang the title-role in what was at that time still a Donizetti rarity, Lucia di Lammermoor, in February 1959. This recital which includes scenes from Lucia was recorded just a few weeks after those triumphal performances at Covent Garden and marked the beginning of Joan Sutherland’s association with Decca, an association which lasted until her retirement from the operatic stage on New Year’s Eve 1990. |
