“full of fresh innocence, Sutherland’s coloratura virtuosity remains breathtaking, and the cast is a strong one, with a most understanding conductor” (Penguin Guide 3 stars) “Sutherland&#8217;s miraculous singing is not the only virtue of this set … There is hardly an operatic centre left which has not acclaimed Sutherland&#8217;s Lucia … (she) is without rival today in her command of the vocal arts &#8211; trills, scales and arpeggios, messa di voce, glissando. Her tone is beautiful, and each year becomes sweeter, rounder and fuller, in both gentle and brilliant passages. Her interpretation of Lucia is a fully conceived study … In this performance, passage after passage is melting, exquisite, dazzling, breathtaking … Cioni, currently Sutherland&#8217;s favoured partner, was a first-rate choice for Edgardo.” (Gramophone)               Time 146:44 ADD, 1961<br />
