Waltraud Meier closes a performance of Richard Wagner's Tristan und Isolde with Isolde's transfiguration (though more commonly referred to as Liebestod - Love-Death).

  • can't stand lip-synching

  • @tklogan111809 She wasn't. If the audio is out of sync that's a youtube player glitch. The performance was live.

  • OMG.... I am breathless, speechless, almost dizzy with awe. Waltraud Meier's rendition of this incredible aria is about as close to total perfection as the human voice can achieve. Nothing can follow it. Nothing. [*I need several minutes of silence before even attempting to listen to anything else.*] Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!

  • wwwwwwooooooooooowwwwwwwwwwwww­

  • THE BEST of the BEST!!! I LOVE HER! She is so much warmer, emotional, LUSH but strong, with never any harshness and shrillness as ***all*** the others had. Thank you for posting. INCREDIBLE.

  • @AlexanderBritain I was at the opening night performance. My wife and i really enjoyed ourselves. Debbie Voigt did a good job. But Waltraud Meier was great.  Bear in mind though, that Waltraud has a small part, and could really cut loose. Also, I don't think she is willing to sing Brunhilde, so how well she would have done as Brunhilde is a moot point..

  • incredible performance of this powerfully moving piece by wagner - it's beyond words really - definitely a keeper - thanks sdc!

  • This is the greatest Isolde available to us at the present - she is singing Waltraute in the Met's new "Goetterdaemmerung" while the incapable Debbie Voigt gives us another underwhelming Wagner Portrayal of Bbruennhilde!!!

  • @Emsyphine Herrlich!

  • 3 dislikes ? i would like to hear what scholars/experts opinions of this performance and my personal gold standard..kirsten flagstad w/ w. furtwangler conducting the philharmonia.are.
