@calaftheeast i had my doubts about your level of stupidity, but once you quoted La Stupida: who was know for her extreme stupidity, singing everything trasposed, queen of unwritten pauses, etc., etc., , it was done! I will not waste my time with filth like you.
-
She's Behrens nonetheless, and was not 35 when she was singing this. She sounded great, and neither she, or I, deserve your belittling and belligerent attitude. I think the 'poor thing' in question here is you, since you're the one who happens to act like a complete imbecile regarding a woman who was a real musician.
As Sutherland said; sometimes the audience expects way too much, and they should know their place. You should listen to that. So beat it.

@calaftheeast poor thing, if you can't fathom why the stacatti are important then i can't help you with that, I can't make you intelligent. I'm sure that you will also say that who cares when she breaks the line and makes it sound like it is a verismo aria. Since it is obvious you can't read the score...
-
Who cares? That performance is ravishing from top to bottom.
-
Everyone has said it already - Behrens had a strange technique that didn't always serve her voice. But she is such a compelling musician and actress that all that nonsense can be forgotten. The important thing is to communicate something to the audience, and Behrens always gave 100% commitment to her portrayals.
-
She delivered.
-
I think she sounds better singing Mozart than Wagner. Mozart tends to get the voice more connected.
-
Poor thing she can't do the stacatti!

extraordinaire la plus grande interprétation sur scène par une grande voix du siècle!

Non ho colpaby terezqa10,993 views
I get so sick of hearing the argument about Behrens and her non-Mozartean voice versus other singers. Of course she is not a Mozart singer in the traditional sense or perhaps even the sense most are accustomed to, but this is grand opera and theatrics at its finest! Every time I see this clip I am mesmerized from beginning to end. It is consumate madness. That she is a great Wagnerian and not a superb Mozartean hardly is the issue and certainly does not detract from a damn thing. Brava!!!
