Dame Joan Sutherland gives a thrilling, nuanced performance as the heroine in this lyrical and exotic tale of a doomed romance between an Indian priest's daughter and a British army officer. 'a great talent at its height, enthralling by the sheer beauty of that stupendous voice' (The Sun). Recorded in 1976
