I. Borkh & J. Thomas "O namenlose Freude!" from Fidelio

[Baccalaureus79]

The tenor is great, but I don't like the girl. She is too hysterical.

@Baccalaureus79 - (Borkh) - Not hysterical, at all, IMO. Her type of soprano deserves more attention; it's very sincere but, does NOT fly off, in the higher notes. In this, particular aria ... I think Cheryl Studer, Gundula Janowitz and a few others, did the best of all, except for one other. .... The young Birgit Nilsson, w/Hans Hopf, is exceptional, and Hopf might have his BEST work, in this short aria.

Great singers!! You can't find voices like these nowadays. Modern singers seem made of light plastic, too politically correct...
