If netrebko ever tries to sing Brunhilde then I may have a sroke.

[Johnny1206]

Sorry, but no wagnerian contest is valid without Kirsten Flagstad!

[afonito22]

Definitivamente Nilsson..............

[s99jonte]

Birgit rules!

@blkmichaux Basically. Varnay just yelped the Bs and Cs while Nilsson really sang them.

[blkmichaux]

@bmh4d0k3n It seemed like Varnay was going up there too quick. But Nilsson ripped it up there! Right? Is that what you're saying?

@ioSonoCallas Il y a Nilsson qui impressionne et il y a Crespin qui va droit au coeur.

[dapheneo]

@mariasarda Ils nous tuent tous ces critiques.Qu'importe si elle etait ceci ou cela.Ses aigus etaient tres souvent arraches et alors ?C'etait une vraie Tosca.Tosca ce n'est pas seulement le "vissi d'arte" et ses aigus difficiles.

Pour Brunhilde c'est la meme chose : les hojotoho de Nilsson sont magnifiques mais ceux de Crespin aussi et sa Walkyrie est la plus belle du disque.Le live de Salzbourg aussi.Chaque grand chanteur est unique avec ses qualites et ses defauts

Many thanks for posting this interesting video. I wish you had given the name list of the singers.

I like Varnay the best except for the octave leaps to the Bs and Cs. For me, Nilsson's voice is a bit awkward here, though her power is undeniable.

[DonPaolissimo]

Birgit makes all the others look pathetic by comparison! Varnay makes a decent try, Crespin too smallish, but poor Modl sounds like a parody, a Looney Tumes parody at that!

Quá tuyệt ! Hojotoho thật tuyệt vời ! Nilsson no1 !
