Marita Solberg - SOLVEIG'S SONG [ Edvard Grieg ] Peer Gynt

[slitor]

God damnit...WHY DON'T WE HAVE MORE NORWEGIAN OPERA!

[maximilianlindner]

I won't write a comment, because I am not able to express my feelings in words. We have to invent a new kind of language...

[MaxxUS08]

This is good, she has a great voice. But for this particular piece, I still think Sylvia Mcnair (Jeffrey Tate/Berliner) is the best. The extra breath Solberg takes before the high A made the difference. Otherwise, she's flawless.

@MaxxUS08

Oh my God! Since when has listening to a song become a study of the physiology of the respiratory system? By paying attention to such trifles you are missing the profound and ineffable experience of beauty. Don't approach a thing of beauty with the heartless snobbery of a sommelier: it is harmful both to you and to beauty.

[rivertam42]

So beautiful!

[MyKashiwa]

My hart is trembling, ...

[ProfRonconi]

I've heard this performance hundreds of times. Every time it fills my soul with hope and wonder. Unlike what I would define as useless skills (and I'm sure many will disagree), like boxing or playing chess, Solberg's technique actually enriches the human experience. I'm in love (not with her, beautiful though she is, but with what she awakens in me). May she live long and enchant may grandchildren too.

MY GOD THIS IS HEAVEN !!!!! AND SHE IS THE GODDESS. PERFECT,  PERFECT, PERFECT...

Braaavvvoooo

[newFranzFerencLiszt]

I need a studio version of this beauty from heaven

[ProfRonconi]

@newFranzFerencLiszt

Seconded! I need to find a studio or theatre version of this on DVD or CD. I've found nothing on Amazon. Any suggestions? Anyone? Please?

[MaxxUS08]

@ProfRonconi A break, a breath, call it what you want. There should not be a "break" right before those final three eight notes (E-G#-B). There's a slur over all of them right before the A. Again, beautiful singing, just a poor decision. That's all.

@ProfRonconi This is from waldbuhne 2006-conductor neeme jarvi--you will find it on presto classical--the dvd is called sheherazade--and now she is singing mimi in la boheme in oslo opera house-glorious! breathtaking!such beautiful singing i didnt hear for years-i just cried

[janea57]

This is just STUNNING!

[bronsiee]

This is my favourite version, Marita's voice is beautiful.. I am practicing this piece on oboe & her emotion really inspires my performance :)

[ProfRonconi]

@LeafeonandSunshine You have no soul. People like you are hardly distinguishable from their carcasses.

[revpgesq]

@ProfRonconi a little harsh don't you think for someone who just found this boring. i agree it is sublime, but perhaps our friend has different and specific tastes. besides who among us is not "hardly distinguishable from her/his carcass"? lighten up francis.

[ProfRonconi]

@revpgesq

Yes, we can have different tastes, but this mesmerising performance does not deserve to be brushed aside with a banal and idiotic comment."Boring"? Is that all?

Some people are clearly distinguishable form their carcasses. I'm sure you are. All it takes is the ability to detect even a tiniest spark of the numinous and the sublime. I'll go even further: whoever is incapable of being moved by this song is incapable of loving.

[hihume]

Beautiful!

[Folksox]

Just lovely; thanks!

[SuperMax0401]

This is the best version ever . A wonderful video

[crococo1]

Un moment de grâce , magnifique !

[hernaniper]

There are many beautiful interpretations of this song, but this still remains as the most beautiful; perfect timing, voice, and feelings

[salgbroor]
