  • Absolutely beautiful! It makes the hairs on the back of your neck stand up!

  • Sehr Schon! Danke. Kevin

  • To the staging criticism I say 'nonsense'. They are lost in thought, each reflecting on Marzelline's love for Fidelio (Leonora in disguise), and each with differing emotions - and it matters nothing where they stand. In criticising Peter Hall you are like the young Weber dismissing the mature Beethoven. The greatest composer ever of the most powerful opera ever.

  • @fhebbert I totally agree with you.

  • My favorite piece from this opera.

  • beautiful... beautiful... beautiful....

  • o gawd this is amazing! Never heard bofore, but been recommended Sodestrom for almost everything duet/ensemble involving a mezzo.

  • A great carrier has come to an end!

    Rest in Peace- Mme Soderstrom

  • Wonderful

  • This quartet is the most beautiful music! I bow down to you, sir, and respect its beauty.

  • PERHAPS THE MOST TOUCHING PART OF THE ENTIRE OPERA

    By it's simplicity, it take us to the very depths of the majesty of Beethoven's deepest thoughts and feelings.

  • i so agree! wonderful wonderful quartett

  • Yesterday, I performed the Beethoven Moonlight and Pathétique Sonata at our community concert fund raising. There is a REASON why people who study Beethoven simply call him "The Master." There are no words in any language that are "sufficient" for Beethoven. sanjosemike

  • 1.09 min - my favourite moment, when fidelio looks up, great quartet

  • This is lovely singing of this quartet. Thank you for posting!

  • Love the voices, but the staging makes no sense. They should be standing far apart, lost in thought.

  • @KatherineXIX This is one of many stagings for this scene. In many of the stage adaptations actors pause where they are and sing the whole quartet in a statue like pose. Personally I think this staging still gets the point across without putting strain on the singers, (and it makes for handy camera closeups of the whole quartet).

  • Another Fidelio! Thank you.
