[edro3638]

i kbow i was there---



[Gotthard38]

has someone this opera version en digital from 1963.????

I had many years ago this version in video what it is today defective.

[sonomabob]

Thanks for running this all the way to the end. I love the finish. so nice.

[muatlas]

With her "Ja, ja," Schwarzkopf' elegantly expresses the emotional impact of the opera like no other Marschallin before or since.

[sahalexx]

Sorry, which one is Schwarzkopf? A little confused, sorry!

[grafmandryka]

@sahalexx Elisabeth Schwarzkopf is the one on the right side with the beautiful dress, she sings the Marschallin, the wonderful Anneliese Rothenberger is Sophie and the also wonderful Sena Jurinac is Octavian.

[cantanteporsiempre]

This Jurinac is simply amazing in this role

[huahuacha]

Thanks for your post. A legend trio. And the most wonderful Octavian of all times : Sena Jurinac. I could hear this scene thousand and thousand times.

[urmorph]

To clarify the ending: the page is Mohammed, the Marschallin's servant, who is seen and his music heard in Act 1. (He is a mute role, i.e. does not sing.) He should be as small and as cute as possible. He is searching for Sophie's handkerchief, which she has let slip in her emotion. The music tells the story, and the action and the fall of the curtain are carefully detailed in Strauss' score.

[RobNYNY1957]

Schwarzkopf is a beautiful woman, and a fine actress, but from a vocal point of view there are many, many better Prinzessinen von Werdenberg. Maybe people are listening to this, but hearing other recordings in their head. With my eyes closed, her singing is highly unexceptional. The other two are quite good, much better than ES.

[cantanteporsiempre]

@RobNYNY1957 Who else do you recomend for this role of the Princess?

[sahalexx]

@RobNYNY1957 Well, she's not very young in this performance. Her technique is obviously not as elastic and virtuosic as it used to be.

[heinzeronald]

To jamesraven75: Whenever you might be able to read, it might be useful to read the the libretto before writing rubbish. They didn't left to early! And the page had his final appearance right according to Hofmannsthal's text!

[jamesraven75]

I know it is superb but the set and the acting is just SO old fashioned.

Sophie and Octavian leave the stage too early and with no finesse and we are left looking at an empty stage until a grotesque and oversized pageboy ruins the curtain.

[MrSkylark1]

@jamesraven75

Actually, the music and the singing tells the story, both do what sumptuous sets cannot do.

[voce29]

A stellar performance!! The absolute goldstandard for this great opera.

[flylooper]

Just got finished listening to Schwarzkopf singing Im Abendrot. My God, what a pipe that woman had. And No on wrote for the soprano voice like Strauss. Thanks for the clip.

[MastersoftheOpera]

O my God this is Heaven's Angels singing! Elisabeth Schwarzkopf in her iconic role of the Marschallin, Sena Jurinac & Aneliese Rothenberger. These are my favorite sopranos and to see them all together like this! There is no better versio of the Trio!!!

[Ethratian]

Well that's one of the best performances ever, but for my taste there are - at least equal versions.

I simply prefer Kleiber over Karajan as Rosenkavalier conductor.

Nevertheless a great performance for which I'm very thankful.

All the best

[mariandelochs]

Yesterday, 24 October, was Sena Jurinac's birthday ! Happy Birthday, Ms Jurinac!

She's just turned 88 years old. Wish I could view a portrait/documentary on her. Anyone know of one available anywhere?

[mariandelochs]

Lovely performance of one of my fave opera scenes! Thank you for the upload.

[schlusnus]

A fine version many memories of both artists...thank you.

However my opera lovers, there's even a #1 version

Eliz Schumann, Lotte Lehmann, richard Meyer rec:

1933 in Vienna under Heger. Have fun

[11777766]

There are no words to describe the gorgeous voices blended in this seamless tapestry that Strauss created in his timeless tribute to lovers' anguish in facing their changing future, reluctantly but courageously.

[nobisotti]

@Onegin65: Salzburg

It was the opening of the "Großes Festspielhaus". This is the audio from the perfomance, but taped afterwards...(they do this in Bayreuth still this way)

[nobisotti]

thanks amonasro.

yes, Sena Jurinac is a great person. I saw recently a portrait...very interesting and very sympathic.

[mariandelochs]

A portrait of Jurinac - on TV? On DVD? We are missing so much on these things over here in the US - but thanks to YouTube and the kindness and generosity of posters from other parts of the world, we are able to see and hear these rare and precious footage of such great performances.

[nobisotti]

Sorry, my mistake. it is of course Lisa della Casa...one can mix up with all these Sopranos :-)

[sdmogfl]

Schwarzkopf's mannerisms were to many of us wonderful. Her vocalism was to us grand and lovely. As was she. I saw her many times and always enjoyed her. She was a vocal goddess to us... lovely to look at, lovely to hear. And of course with Strauss' music gorgeous.

[3tristan]

Rothenberger and Jurinac were always Marvellous.

[lagnaha]

Robyn

Schwarzkopf was neither mediocre or mannered. I suspect you were too young to have heard her live. I was not.

[bendfeldtf]

One  word :Superb!

[Rapicienta]

maravilloso perfomance, la Schwarzkopf un sueño, una gran actriz, Jurinac y Rothenberger bellisimas!

[giandoroma]

please join my photographic group called die Marschallin on fb

[RobNYNY1957]

Jurinac is really a wonderful singer. This is a good role for Schwarzkopf, where her beauty and acting work well, her mediocre and mannered vocalism is not completely out of place. Rothenberger has always been a take-it-or-leave-it singer for me, but she's OK here.

[guyosborn]

"mediocre and mannered vocalism?"...Seriously, you are joking? Are you the one that says Janet Baker is a dog when she sings Dido? See the YouTube "Kylie does the pop ops" probably more your style...

[globalman]

A dream opera with a dream cast, dream sets and costumes. Herrlich. Wonderful, beautiful Elizabeth Schwarzkopf. No matter how often I hear these trios and duets it brings tears. The notes squeeze them from my soul. Thank you for this posting. My video was lost in an earthquake and I would love a dvd of this.

[3tristan]

Sehr schön!

[walkure48]

Wow! Thought I was spoiled with both of Kleiber's versions....a new one to add to my wishlist...straight out of heaven...

[yeahyeah234]

Its only me who thinks that TM will get the boy again at the end of the story? My proves: the 0/S duett is a very reconisable variation on Schuberts lied "Heidenröslein", about a tender flower destroyed by a capricious boy. The lost and found handkerchief belongs to Sophie: she will need it in a few days! If TM is warm and sexy Denoke, no proves are needed!

SCHICHI- Barcelona

[yeahyeah234]

It's only me who thinks that Strauss was quite cynical in his ending of DRkr? He was absolutely sure that TM would regain O, and told us by using a variation on Schubert's lied "Heidenröslein" in the last duett (which tells us about the brief "love" of a foolish boy for a young flower (poor Sophie). He takes it and destroys it. Just as O will do with S! In fact, she will really need her handkerchief! If TM is the sexy and commanding Denoke (the oest of todays Ms), there is no doubt! SCHICHI

[telephilia]

One of the most beautiful female duets ever! - and this production of the opera is a classic.

[voce29]

I am the happy owner of this video and I never get tired of it. It is simply superb!!!

[viverito]

I have been trying to get this one DVD forever. Why don't they release it already for God's sake !!!!!

[akitango]

THIS IS THE BEST ROSENkAVALIER OF THE LAST 50 YEARS

"In Gottes Namen!" How can anyone fail to be moved?

[nessie96]

Wow!!!!! Bloody marvelous!!!!

[olgamarga]

¡Bellísima versión,gracias Onegin.

[lagnaha]

CharlotteinWeimar There is a DVD of the 1965 Salzburg festival production of Strauss's "Ariadne auf Naxos" It is in black and white but Jurinac is splendid. I can confirm this. I was lucky enough to be there. The DVD is issued under TDK marketing Europe GMBH

[CharlotteinWeimar]

Thank you so much for posting this and the other Rosenkavalier clips. Is there anything else recorded with Sena Jurinac? She was such a fine artist but seems almost in danger of being forgotten.

[LobsngDmchoi]

Jurinac recorded a lot--much of it on German labels as I recall. Recently a live perf. was issued of Don Giovanni under Solti at Covent Garden in the 60s--Jurinac is the Elvira. Also did a recording of the same role under Jochum. I believe she often sang at Glyndebourne Fest.--perhaps one or two recordings resulted.

[loumanar]

Bellissima la musica e bellissimo il canto di questi grandi soprani
