Dame Joan Alston Sutherland OM, AC, DBE (7 November 1926 – 10 October 2010) was an Australian dramatic coloratura soprano noted for her contribution to the renaissance of the bel canto repertoire from the late 1950s through to the 1980s. One of the most remarkable female opera singers of the 20th century, she was dubbed La Stupenda by a La Fenice audience in 1960 after a performance of the title role in Handel's Alcina. The song is also featured on the album Charlotte Church. Fritz Kreisler transcribed the song for violin and piano and performed it frequently. His transcription was first published in 1914. Artists who have recorded instrumental versions of the song include Glenn Miller, Fritz Kreisler, Julian Lloyd Webber, Yo-Yo Ma, Joshua Bell, and Tine Thing Helseth.

In fact the songs his mother taught him meant a very great deal to this enigmatic and prolific actor. His sexual encounter with a female in the desert was noteworthy but that was the strangest one I recall. The book is written as if he was sitting there telling you everything. Loved this book, it amazed me how deep his thought process, understood his interpretation of life itself. Showed all his vulnerabilities and walked you through his thought process. Book was written so vividly that I felt I was living vicariously through him.
