  • @RobNYNY1957 - Agree, about the scoops. The young Birgit Nilsson, 1960 w/Hopf, could hit those high A's REALLY well.

  • One of the most joyful and at the same time painful duets ever written in opera.

  • Nice job and a nice looking couple too =P

    She sounds a wee bit out of tune in spots but nice enthusiastic reading of this joyous duet, one of my favorites. You might listen to James Kings' renditions he was a great Florestan.

  • Generally very good. I wish that she would hit some of the high A's on pitch instead of scooping half an octave up to them -- she could take a lesson from him on this.

  • Amazing---years ahead of the opera film revolution, Jess Thomas consistently brought words, voice and physical expression all together! What a soulful sound!

  • Jess Thomas, you are THE MAN! The greatest Lohengrin and Walter von Stolzing of all time! So nice to see Jess' Florestan too.

  • YES!YES!YES!!!!!!!!!!

    I flippin love her!!!!!

  • She's such an amazing singer - what a voice! Love her! She's a fantastic Sieglinde on the 1952 Bayreuth Die Walkure, conducted by Josef Keilberth.
