Jones_Gwyneth.jpgAuch engelstrompeten müssen authentisch sein: Die australische Sängerin Joan Sutherland feiert am Dienstag 80. Geburtstag, und Gwyneth Jones, ihre Kollegein aus Wales, wird 70 Jahre alt.

Von Manuel Brug [Die Welt, 7 November 2006]

Beide waren sie stupend - jede auf ihre Weise. Doch nur eine bekam auch den Ehrentitel "La Stupenda" verliehen: Joan Sutherland, die Australierin, die auf den Spuren ihrer Landsfrau Nellie Melba, vor allem aber der Callas (mit der sie 1953 als Anfängerin in Covent Garden bei "Norma" auf der Bühne stand) mit einer Perlenschnur von Raritäten den Belcanto zu einer im 20. Jahrhundert nie gekannten Blüte führte. Die Waliserin Gwyneth Jones war in ihrer Glanzzeit in lyrisch-dramatischen Rollen eine Menschendarstellerin von eindrücklicher Statur.
