Joan Sutherland's "the Art of the Primadonna" is certainly well known to opera lovers. Sutherland was always a most wonderful singer, but this was one of her best (if not THE best) recordings. Presented here, is the aria of Queen Semiramide from Rossini's "Semiramide". There are numerous versions of this aria, but, for me this will always be the best.
