Dame Kiri Te Kanawa - Da geht er hin - Der Rosenkavalier

[RossiniSoprano]

After seeing this, I simply cannot understand how anyone could say that Te Kanawa couldn't act or was cold. She is "in" every moment....it's all there in the face, the eyes, and the voice. Sublime!

The loveliest of all of the Marschallins, as sweet and gracious in person as she has always been on the stage..

[squishy1403]

Oh my God that C! I'm gonna dream about that damn thing...

[saxamaphoneguy1]

It's amusing: as much as kiri gets controversial comments for her Puccini, her Mozart and Strauss are all voted unanimously: AMAZING! I don't care what anyone else says: she will probably be my favorite singing any composer! She has such a good sense of what she can bring justice to!

Thaak you very much Dame and Barbara for this so unforgettable video!!!. Cheers!!!, ~Sergio.

A perfect Marschallin!

She was one of the singers, who were able to walk in the big footsteps of Lotte Lehmann in this role.

[domi2020]

Totally agree- this is one of Kiri's best. She's always good in aristocratic roles!! Beautiful voice, stage presence and looks!!!! Very surprising there is not much of her in her famous roles on video eg Pamina, Fiordiligi

[LizN90]

She is fabulous in this role. I just purchased the ROH version which, I think, is much later. She OWNS this role!

[thecelticinme]

You just made my day. I was dying to see Der Rosenkavalier, i've heard that Kiri's Marschallin is one of her best roles. Thank you. Can you most more? Please...

[LaBelleHelene]

I'm speechless...

='D Thaaaaaaaaaannnnnnnnnnnnks!
