I wanted to use this contest to explain something about what these "contests" mean. I hope that people don't view these as a real contest, so to speak. I wanted them to be a collection of videos where differnt performers sing the same music. I find it interesting to view and listen to a variety of performances. Some people seem to think I want to portray certain artists in a poor light, this couldn't be further from the truth. Even the "worst" singer can provide new insights on a role. This contest is being uploaded in request, again a score of 1-5 for singing/characterization:

  • What a hauntingly beautiful voice! And Soile Isokoski doesn't act half as bad as some think. Not everyone needs to be a poser. She certainly is not, but she is a good actress too. Most important for her is the music, something I really like.

  • LOVELY!! Her high register is something to be jealous of :) 4.5/5

  • after freni and a real great lyric/ dramatic in the opera house in Wuerzburg Germany, she's the 3rd best soprano I heard in this role. btw thanks for these contests

  • Both the Freni and Isokoski performances are the same productions from Paris 26 years apart. I saw this wonderful singer in Der Rosenkavalier at the ROH last year and she was fantastic. Such a great Straussian voice. Hopefully an Elsa to come?

  • you mite not belive this but she is my cousin if i would be lieing i would be stupid i hate to lie

    my name is aino isokoski

    if you dount belive me its your fault please dount say anything bad about her

    she is the onley fameos cosin i have

    but my dad is a singer

    but its not a big thing and i am religios so god curs me if i am lieing

  • Soile is so classy! But goodness gracious, why did they give her such a small mirror? It looks like a compact! Hahaha

    Nevertheless, watched all of them with my Bose headphones. Depends on the sound quality, but I like this and (although generally can't stand her) Gheorghiu the best besides SCOTTO who was just stunningly beautiful in this beyond words!

  • Not bad, but would like more "amused" and less "bat shit crazy". ^_^

  • Is this 2001 production the same as the 1975 Mirella Freni one? Same city?

  • Very pure sounds!

  • taitaa olla joku katkera urallaan epäonnistunut sopraano äänessä...
