ADAMS, BRIAN La Stupenda: A Biography of Joan Sutherland
Australia, Hutchinson. 1980, First Edition. (ISBN: 0091374103) Hard Cover, 8vo. Publishers original blue cloth with gilt lettering to spine. Minor bumping to lower corner. Dustwrapper: unclipped, light shelf wear to edges, now protected in Brodart. Light blue endpapers, previous owners inscription on half title page. Allan & Peter Xmas 1980 - for everything Doug. 329pp including index, plus 16pp colour plates. Profusely illustrated with b/w photographs throughout text. Pages clean and bright in firm binding. The story of the Sydney secretary with a passion for singing who eventually became one of the greatest opera stars in the world could read as a catalogue of triumphs. But Sutherlands success and her modest acceptance of it, has been set against a background of ill health and personal challenge that makes her seemingly effortless art on stage and recordings seem all the more remarkable. Very Good/Very Good.
