Nina Stemme is the best Isolde of our present time. Not since the 20th century's Kirsten Flagstad, Birgit Nilsson & Astrid Varnay has there been such a perfect voice for Isolde. Her Wagner repertoire is excellent. Nothing more to say. If you get a chance, go see Nina Stemme perform opera live. The best Wagnerian soprano currently singing!
last weekend (14. 03. 10.) my friend and i were in the staatsoper in vienna listening to her (as we are great fans of stemme) as senta in der fliegende holländer and we had to state that her timbre became somewhat darker. my friend stated that she would better be an isolde rather than senta... i had no objections.
Okay, most of you guys must love nilsson as isolde (just as i do) but you also have to admit, this was not inferior, either...
I've been privileged to hear Nina Stemme perform this wonderful piece live at the Royal Opera in Stockholm. It was an absolutely fantastic experience!
She is the best dramatic sopran of nowadays! She sung the role of Isolde on the Bayeuth Ferstival, and too on the CD with Placido Domingo. On the youtube can you to hear she also as Aida, Senta, Marschallin, and Desdemona.
I think the same Dear Zoltán!:) She is amazing! And she is so kind and family centered woman, I saw her 7 times in Vienna and I will travel to see her Isolde in Zürich and Salome in Barcelona!

Yes this is great (Stemme, I think Pappano is not equal), but live she is better. Her Isolde in Bayreuth was unbelieveble!

Beautiful.
I think these chord progressions were used in Paul Lansky's computer music version, which was then used in Radiohead's song Idioteque.
