Waltraud Meier, mezzo-soprano
Torsten Kerl, tenor
WDR Sinfonieorchester Köln
Semyon Bychkov
Waltraud Meier is La Wagnerissima, the queen of Wagners repertoire. In her very personal account I follow a voice within me, we enter her world and learn about her motivations, aspirations, and her joyful way of pursuing them. In addition to personal insights, this truly ingenious portrait presents Waltraud Meier on stage and in rehearsal in her most celebrated Wagner roles and as an interpreter of Mahlers Lieder. It becomes clear how she coined todays musical world when other great musicians such as Daniel Barenboim or Plácido Domingo speak about her and her work. This beautiful portrait of one of the greatest interpreters of our time is rounded off with a powerful recording of Mahlers Lied von der Erde.

das flackrige vibrato ist leider sehr nervig!

I can't believe they would record an opera that way, with her singing just one phrase and then pasting it in to the rest. No wonder people say that studio opera(remember when there was such a thing?) is not authentic. Love her though.

She sings Venus from opera "Tannhäuser" by Richard Wagner.
They filmed while the recording of a "Tannhäuser" production. I truely can recomend to buy the CD, if you like the music.
It's with Barenboim as conductor and Staatskapelle Berlin.

What is she singing from the beginning until 0:42? And again from 1:15?
