  • She is not up there for an opera contest. She does not care to compete. Why people can't get that? Who cares about technicalities when at this age she sings better and stronger and more correct than some in their 30's. Appreciate what you watch. No need for negative comments.

  • The scooping is annoying, but this school of singing tells you to stretch rather than push. If you stretch very fast, it is fine, but if you take your time, it sounds like a scoop.

    I love Gwyneth whatever she does. I will never forget hearing her Fidelio live, getting enveloped in sound larger than life... The rest of the cast sounded merely human and we were kind of embarrassed for them... She was the voice from heaven, not human at all. Overwhelming. Faults are forgiven at such moments.

  • Grandissima cantante e grandissima interprete!

  • @Rospaint Oh my, I could have said that :-)

  • @beacoloratura I absolutely agree. I remember her performances which belong to those I will always treasure. Once in Berlin her Senta made the adience applaud through the end of act 2 even though the music went on. We all know about her little troubles with intonation, lisp and whatever. I miss her deeply and haven`t found a "replacement" yet.

  • Bravissima, non c'è che dire!

  • Scoops and all, this is still good singing,, with wonderful tone.. and atmosphere... She feels like Lady MacBeth to me.. BRAVA

  • Poor thing she can't sing it like Verdi wanted! Cero coloratura, cero chest voice, cero passion. She is a garish clown trying to sing an assoluta role.

  • she does not sound like neither Callas nor Verrett or Sass. It sounds like she is skiing beetween the notes instead of singing them correctly

  • Incredible...and she's beautiful too!

  • O___O uh...

  • @AmericanEvita Rysanek's upper register is a myth... God listen to her Medea, she has to transpose whole arias and sections down a whole step.
