Joan Sutherland: Monday YouTube Fix

Here is a BBC documentary on the late, great soprano, Joan Sutherland titled The Reluctant Prima Donna. It is a fascinating look at her career and features a lot of clips of her singing different pieces from throughout her career.

All that any of us instrumentalists are ever trying to do is sound like vocalists like Joan Sutherland.

Joan Sutherland: Monday YouTube Fix

Here is a clip of one of the all-time great sopranos, Joan Sutherland, performing the "Vissi d'arte" aria from the Act 2 of Puccini's opera "Tosca".

The tone and control she maintains when singing in the extreme high register, all while turning a beautiful phrase, is what all instrumentalists strive for. Truly incredible stuff.

And I love the subtlety of her vibrato. (At least subtle compared to a lot of other sopranos singing in that register!)

Enjoy!

Harry Connick Jr: Monday YouTube Fix

Harry Connick Jr. is a genius. This is a famous clip for a reason. He is performing for a live studio audience in France. The crowd is really enjoying it and clapping along.

The problem is they are enthusiastically clapping on 1 and 3 with no end in sight.

But Harry has a plan. He slips a 5/4 bar in at the 0:39 mark so smoothly that no one even notices.

Brilliant.
