Joan Sutherland as Elettra - Idomeneo: Tutte nel cor • Idol mio ♫ Torrent of golden sound!

The unique Joan Sutherland sings two of Elettra's arias with a wonderful combination of sheer power and musical refinement. This recordings is from one of her 1979 Sydney performances of Mozart's Idomeneo, the only production of this opera that she ever performed in. 1 - Recitative: Estinto è Idomeneo? [0:00] 2 - Aria: Tutte nel cor vi sento [2:44] 3 - Recitative: Chi mai del mio provò piacer più [5:53] 4 - Aria: Aria: Idol mio, se ritroso [7:57] Here Sutherland shows once again a Wagnerian-like dramatic singing miraculously coupled with all the flexibility and sweetness of a coloratura soprano. She also sounds particularly committed to the drama of her character, the impassioned and suicidal Elettra.
