And the conductor, Hans Swarowsky, built the tension magnificently, and released it at the end explosively, leaving me stunned. Kouba shows here as a superb singer, who was also gorgeous top-to-bottom, a rare combination and very appropriate for the role. Patzak has a distinctive nasal voice, also a great contribution to this excerpt.
Perfect! I enjoyed this video very much. I must admit I prefer Maria Kouba in this role to sopranos such as Leonie Rysanek and even Birgit Nilsson herself.
me too. If Maria Kouba was singing today, she would have the world at her feet. How things have changed. It's also mostly a question of marketing. Sometimes the best singers are not as well known as the "stars".
