  • @hardtimesincountry he had something with the German U vowel: waroom instead of warum. However when he sang Amfortas in concert in 1993 in Herkulessaal in Munich it was magnificent a glorious sound and very powerful. He walked down the stairs from the rear to the front of the stage and looked like a Zulu King with his majestic height and elegant persona. His Holländer was also something I will never forget in 1997.

  • @hardtimesincountry Oh, don't get me wrong. His sound is glorious! I heard him some years ago in Leipzig and he filled the theater with the most beautiful sound you could imagine!

  • @Prickler32 They sound like 'ü' to me too - I have to admit I find it rather annoying. But he is a very fine singer.

  • 2 years ( or more ) later I see again these two videos and the situation seems not so agressive as the first time...However some faces made mby Jones seem to me, still, to be a bit astonioshed at Rysanek's frontal objections. A person told me Miss Jones is quite competitive and maybe Rysanek took revenge. I really do not know. 2 years ago it was a battle. Now, the same video...And it does not. Human perceptions are so variable...

  • I never understood what Estes does with his 'u' vowels. They always sound like 'ü' to me. Strange

  • i like leonie's confrontational style, gwyneth holds her own though. two major opera bitches. i love them

  • Oh, Simon Estes...what a great artist and gentleman.

  • is that Simon Estes??

  • LR say that Elektra needs her brother as in Greek mythology it´s always the man who kills and that she doesn´t love him as she doesn´t even know him

    GJ replies that she does love her brother and that you feel it in the music when she sees him

    LR doesn´t agree, but says that life would be boring if we all agreed.

    They obviously have different readings of that relationship between Elektra and her brother, but it´s rather dramatic to say that either is being prima donnaish about it.

  • without looking at comments first ... I must admit I was a bit surpsised at how contradicting (etc) Rysanek was towards Jones ... then I read the comments and I tatally agree with "Greatfan" s response saying : "Basically Rysanek makes ..."
