  • Muy bueno, pero yo no lo hubiera cortado justo antes del final.

  • @gaucho4004 Pues nada, su Youtube te permite más de 10 minutos y medio, ¡cuélgalo!

  • This tenor is one of the best Tannhausers I've heard yet. Excellent. And of course Jones gives a great performance as Venus.

  • Yes, what a body! Have you ever seen a dramatic soprano looking like that? It is all a mountain of flab everywhere else (sorry).

    This is to prove that a big voice does not have to live in an oversized body.

    Are there other healthy-looking big voices out there? I would be keen to know.

  • NO NO NO NO NO NO NONOONONONNONONOONONOON DON'T LEAVEEEEEE WTF TANNHAUSER UGH

  • The "Wagner Soprano" is a separate entity in the world of the classic/opera singers. They are a reason of their own. Special voice which afficionado' s immediately recognise as the "Wagner" - a sound that differs so much from the regular classic soprano's. It' s a voice that must contain power, reach, dramatism etc. In the world of opera they are a class of its own.

  • @nclysander Agree especially re: Wenkoff. Has tremendous diaphragm support, No wonder he lasted so long. Looks very fit, too,

  • @beacoloratura I am inclined to agree with you. there are some singers out there that look just downright unhealthy and in the case of Jane Eaglen she got so big you coudl tell it hindered her singing. that being said i dont consider jones a petite woman and i think youll be hard pressed to find someone among the scrawny yawners of today who put out glorious sounds like those big matrons of old.

  • most beautiful woman in the world right here. This is healthy fullness in form. sad thing is, most my generation would call her fat and drool over twiggy women like Natalie Portman!

  • Don't like her costume-but atleast they are not makin love in a penthouse ala Chereau!!

  • @croscream Jeah, that's where the audience shouted for more veils...

  • She IS built but this is NOT a staby produced voice. I like the instrument but one can already hear the problems that became worse over time.
