49CD on Decca

This box encompasses recordings from 1959 to 1970 includes an early example of her Mozart, singing Donna Anna in Don Giovanni (with Giulini, 1959), a live Alcina recorded the same year with Fritz Wunderlich, the first of two recordings of Lucia di Lammermoor (Pritchard), as well as Faust, Norma, Semiramide, Lakm and Les Huguenots (all conducted by Bonynge). No Sutherland offering would be complete without rarities, and this volume includes highlights from Grauns Montezuma and Bononcinis Griselda.

Included are insightful notes from Raymond McGill, an introduction by Richard Bonynge, and an audio documentary by Jon Tolansky.

The booklet is lavishly illustrated with photographs, some from the Richard Bonynge archive which have not previously been published.
