This is pretty incredible at any age, let alone at age 78! What a wonderful SINGER she is. Listen to the clip of With One Look!

This is a "video" lip-synced to the Solti studio recording. It is Solti, it is Solti, it is not Boehm, it is Solti, Solti. Nilsson's C on the live Boehm is not held this long. This is the famous Decca recording from 1962. STOP SAYING THIS IS LIVE WITH BOEHM. It is not.

What a great film. Her accompanist, Joseph Villa was a mega-talent who died very young. Who would have thought her career would continue for another dozen years after this?

She studied singing with Estelle Liebling who was a Marchesi pupil, and who was Beverly Sills' only teacher! Don't let anyone fool you...Meryl is a trained singer for sure.

Although you can't expect an 80 year old voice to maintain all of the bloom it had at age 20, the age of her first recordings, I find her voice still amazingly beautiful and moving. She is now in her 100th year, and as of October 2011 still up and about, enjoying life to its fullest! God bless y...

The great, great Victoria in top form--a few months short of her 69th (!!!!) birthday. She continued to SPELLBIND audiences in recital for another 6 years. What an artist. What a human being. What a gorgeous voice. There is not a soprano alive, at any age, who can even come close to this tona...

All kidding about pizza aside, Mr. Haitink definitely gets the tempo of this finale all wrong. What a shame. Do you see his line-up of soloists???? Shheeesh!!! Just imagine the climax they could have given him if he had not dragged the tempo so badly. These grand Mahlerian finales (like the...

To all the young "divas" of the world: Here is our great, great Judith, a few weeks short of her 72nd birthday (!!!) still singing wonderfully well. She doesn't sound like she did when she was 30, anymore than our 68 year old Barbra sounded like she was 30 at her Grammy performance this year ("...

@fabrizzzio48 So did she!!! She was almost 50 years old here, and sounds like she's 35. She's certainly still in her absolute prime..

@manishafan Wasn't Lorengar also in that Berlin cast? I think she was.

@assindiastignani Mattia Battistini sang this top Ab in his 1906 recording and baritones have been singing it ever since, LONG before Warren.

What a great (and HANDSOME) singer you are, Mr. Wager. I'm so glad this excerpt has been posted, so now people can actually HEAR and SEE the performance that I have been ranting and raving about like a lunatic for over a year! The performance which I attended was in a different venue, but this ...

The Delaware concert seemed to be a huge success. The audience ROARED their applause at the end. Of course there were miking problems with the chorus. In Denmark, every chorus member had a mic, but here they had 1 for every 3 and some of the mixing suffered. Gary, Geoff and the rest of the ba...

The GREAT Devia sounding truly spectacular in a piece not generally associated with her. Once again, her great technique and musicality proves that there can indeed be much vocal life after age 60. She's 61 or 62 here, I believe, but who's counting? I am simply stupified by the Devia bashers. ...
