A gorgeous voice wedded to great artistic sensitivity. To hear the voice soar with the ease and tonal refulgence is a wonderful experience only matched by Schwarzkopf

  Simply overwhelming; I have been listening to these songs for many years but they still move me as much as they did when I first heard them--sung by Schwarzkopf.

Again Kaufmann lavishes his profound artistry on what was a "warhorse" and found muances that seem to escape most tenors. This married to his supeerb Frrench make him a treasure that we are very lucky to have singing currently..

  Panis Anglicus I suppose almost bordeers on kitsch, but Dame Elizabeth lavishes all her formidable artistry and vocal talent on it as if it were a great song by Wolf or Strauss thereby making it remarkable in spite of far too many performances that should hever have seen the light of day.

  A peerless artist I am so glad that I at least saw her once in Vienna, in Rosenkavaliser, the Marschallin--not Oktavian. she was glorious.

  Teyte has been one of my favorite singers going back to the late 40's when she sang quite frequently on the Bell Telehone Hour--pre TV..

  I can only presume that this artist was not interested in an intermational career; if this sample of her artistry is accurate she certainly had the goods. Didn't she recently die?

If any thing this is more nuanced than his recording of this song (included in the CD of verismo arias.)His In fernam land from the live stage performance is even more moving than this recording. What a great artist and singer.

This is an extraordinary clip. An Italian tenor singing in German in an opera which is made up more of arioso and lacking the kind of cantilena--present excerpt excepted--Does anyone know where this performance took place and who else was in the cast?

  This performance should be made commercially available; Mattila was at her best vocally and this role is made for her; please no more attempts at Puccini; Even though Hampson is a lyric baritone he knows the music should go;plus he is so comfortable on stage--as is Mattila.

One of my favorite moments in the Ring. Dalayman is superb. I assume this was a ;product of Swedish Opera given the subtitles and the logo iin the upper right hand corner. While provincial German performances of the Ring get released, a performance of distinction is bypassed. The world is upside ...

Ariadne seems to bring out the goofy when it come to "concepts" but when you have an Ariadne with the voice of Dalayman who cares! It's hard to believe that she started out as a mezzo.

No argument about Ludwig--she was extraordinarily versatile when you look at the list of roles she sang., from Rosiina to Fidelio and Barak's wife; I suspect she enjoyed her foray into the soprano rep. Bumbry, of course, decided she wanted to be a soprano. Norman seemed to flirt with a variety, ...

  Thanks for the information; Seattle is indeed lucky to have an Erda of this quality when all the recordings have to make do with a mezzo--usually very lightweight.
