  • @phil2u I ENVY YOU

  • @thelex001 And so it is.....Soem ketchup on the side?

    

  • @nedingen Moron, every lyric singer had to learn very much to do it efficiently... I completely disagree your statement about La Divina, but I match with you in the sense that Callas was not a soprano for this composition style, she was a more Verdi/Puccini/Bellini and so on PrimaDonna than a Wagnerian one (yes, this is Strauss but the point is the same: each composer has styles very different one from the other)

    La Nilsson is just perfect in this aria and I guess in the whole play...

  • Birgit is outstanding in this Salome-role also ! You can not compare La Nilsson with other sopranos, she has everything from fortefortissimo to pianissimo !She is also a fantastic  actress , with carisma as no one else ! Callas had much to learn ,Callas had just one expression " I hope my voice will survive this aria "!!!!!!!

  • 1966--18 years old--Salome. Birgit Nilsson--my first opera performance ever--the old Met just before they tore it down--box seats--guest of a rich, gay, Cuban refugee--he fell in love with me; I fell in love with opera.

  • That head looks like a pot roast...

  • immensa nilsson ,nunc et semper

  • @andreslrds73 quizá. Pero no tiene comparaacion con LA NILSSON

  • she gets what she can't eally have.where does this story come from. Bible is a crazy book but is it there or some other source. Woman's sexuality :this idea is still frightening.Rhasodizing with the highest member of the body the capitale! Strauss was smart to do this story .Made for pretty exciting risque stuff more so maybe than Wagner's mythologies. Salome is a teen back in the day that mattered little ,not sure about middle east 1st century?

  • The entrance of the scene is not included in this recording? (Es ist kein laut...) it is enormous
