Joan Sutherland - High Es & Fs (July 28, 2011)

Yet another update. This time with a brief extra E from the 1960 Semiramide excerpt and a brief E from a 1983 performance of La Fille du régiment. Here is what I hope is a complete collection of Joan Sutherland's recorded high Es and high Fs. The notes are left in their musical context to provide something of a breather between all those amazing high notes.
