Joan Sutherland & Huguette Tourangeau - Lakme - Flower Duet (1976)



Uploaded on Feb 1, 2012


The luscious Flower Duet (Viens, Mallika) from Léo Delibes' Lakme - sung ravishingly by Joan Sutherland and Huguette Tourangeau. The piece has been used in many movies and TV programs to great effect - lush, lyrical and exotic. Of Dame Joan's performance one reviewer wrote: "The superlatives are extended when describing Sutherland's performance; a great talent at its height, enthralling by the sheer beauty of that stupendous voice." - The Sydney Sun
