  • Really majestic and without affectation.

  • @Caligula0078

    I don't hear the "scooping" at all . Just a beautiful legato and wholly free tone. Compelling and wonderful vocalism.

  • Gorgeous sound, not too many German words in there though.

    Sorry.

  • My date & I heard her sing this in San Francisco in 1957. I cried (trying to supress sobbing) & made an ass of myself. Years later I wondered if that's why she fell in love with me--because I was "sensative".

  • Incredible voice, but for me this performance is marred by that awful affectation she has of 'scooping' up to to notes instead of hitting them cleanly. Really annoying.

  • Glorious timbre, emotion, everything.

  • fan-tas-tic.

  • wunderschön!

    

  • Totally underrated, not only as an opera singer but in her ability to interpret the pop genres. She's as cool as the other side of a pillow. There's only a handful of singers who can make the Liebestod achingly beautiful.  Go girl!

  • My God! I had forgotten how wonderful she was. WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
