I feel sure, that God, when Birgit arrived in heaven, will have been ever so satisfied with her administration of his light.
-
Can anyone please tell me when and where was this performance? Thanks
-
And she always said Turandot was her "vacation role"..!!!
-
She considered this her holiday role in opera!
-
That was one of the most exceptional pieces of singing I have ever heard. Amazing.
-
@MrNeilsy She said she learned how to sing over a cold because her head was all stopped up.
I have been using this method of vocalising while pinching my nose and it really does wonders!!

Read her book. You can learn a lot about singing from hearing her talk about how she learned to sing and over come the vocal problems she had when she was starting out. She had teachers who nearly ruined her voice but she figured it out from listening to other singers she admired and from being on the stage. She didn't always have those incredible high notes. They were a problem for her when she first started out and she had no stamina. Thank God she figured it all out!

@tenor220 it is the latter part of "In questa reggia" .... starting late and missing some of the best parts out for some reason!
-
This is an extremely demanding soprano role. I haven't heard anyone do it better. Check out Turandot with Nilsson and Bjorling RCA Victor re-mastered. Staggeringly good.
-
She sang Turnadot with Jussi Bjorling - a masterful and staggeringly good recording available in RCA Victor. This is, I believe, the best Turnadot I have ever heard.
And yes - she could project her voice miles!
can anyone tell me the name of this aria? i can't remember it and it's driving me insane!!

It's a rendition of 'In Questa Reggia' that doesn't contain the tenor duet.
