...my neighbours know this opera too !!! :-) !!! LES (UNIQUE VOICE !)

[clayvessel]

The brilliance of this piece is the coagulation of an immensely deep melody out of the pit of confusion and randomness. Singing like this makes me thank God I was not born a psychopath...

[minotauresse]

Stunning.

I love you. we should be together. - Miss. N

[alexuniverse]

Magnificent.

[fastborzoi]

thrilling to see live stage best best best

do we know when/where recorded?

[rumpwrestler]

Heard her first Isolde in Vienna and at Bayreuth.....then the MET...San Francisco....and throw in those Turandots... Nilsson: no one can touch her brilliance!

[langleywil]

Wow! But I prefer Jessye. Not to take away from this glorious voice one bit :)

[venetianformula]

Gives me goose bumps! Nilsson owned this role, and I don't expect anyone to surpass her in my lifetime, maybe never. If there really is a God, I thank him for sharing this magnificent voice with us!

[SirenSongWoman]

@venetianformula Did you hear Christa Ludwigs take? It's even better in the lower register. Had the hair standing up on my arms.

[DivaDeb1234]

She makes is seem so easy ....:)

[rayacs1]

[MGDANCEMG]

this was a goddess--heard her last RING at the Met in the 70s-----------am still shaken

[MGDANCEMG]

es gibt kein anders--Nilsson!

[vocalpianist]

What I would have given to hear her sing live!!!!

[medicinewoman1at]

@vocalpianist I have heard her so many times and it was a magnificent pleasure. She was a voicewonder - she never will be reached !

[isabelle070209]

La meilleure Isolde. Elle a tué le rôle.

[braunebuch]

Who has a copy without this annoying time code? This is the greatest Wagner soprano of the last 50 years singing one of the most beautiful things ever written!

[fernandofernandezgar]

Varnay, Nilsson y Flagstadt , en ese orden, fueron son y ¿seran? las mejores interpretes de los roles femeninos wagnerianos.

[Lohengrin]

Unbelievably beautiful scenography...all the loneliness and desert of Isolde's love...

I would have liked to have seen Birgit Nilsson perform Tristan live. This is an excellent video. Thank you.
