DESCRIPTION:
A quartet of performances of Mozart's "Alleluia," from "Exsultate, jubilate"
Two performances from Dame Joan Sutherland, demonstrating the change in the voice over time:
1958, rare live broadcast, Cologne
1978,National Philharmonic
Renee Fleming, 2001, London, Proms -- adds own embellishment at 7:40
Cecilia Bartoli, 2006, conducted by Muti -- by far the better coloratura rendition, and sheer joy throughout her performance
