STUNNING !! Historical recording !
I have never see such dramatic acting/singing although I have been opera fan for over 35 years. Everything is coming together here, the play, the music, the stage and MARIA EWING über alles.
Thanks for posting jaason53.

How can I describe my fascination ? Mrs. Ewing IS Salomé. I am a great Nilsson fan and I saw her in the role when I was 13, and she was thrilling, but THIS is impressive, what a HUGE artist ! One can only THANK her for her intensity and the hours of work she invested in this MAGNIFICENT rendition of the role. On the technical part she is also a master. Sometimes she abuses reaching notes with a portamento, but that is little price to pay for this fantastic prowess ! Brava !

Beautfiul singing. Even more beautiful theatrical bravery, which is very rare. This is one of those performances which will go down in history.

enorme como siempre esta mujer!
I first watched this many years ago on British TV. This was when you could regularly see opera, Sondheim musicals, foreign films and ballet on BBC2 and Ch4. Such a shame, if they spent a little less on DIY and cooking programmes, maybe we could see a little more. Not all change is for the better! Sorry, had to get it off my chest.

I think her performance as a whole was fantastic. She truly seems crazy and consumed by lust.
