  • I like, how Leonie's screams end exactly on 22:22:22 :D

    btw: She sings gorgeous!

  • @SteveBell1942 Thank you! I too am tired of these "aficionados" who know nothing...

  • Saw Rysanek from her early years at the Vienna State Opera to her last Klytemnestra in Houston and had lunch with her at that time. Always surprised that she is not a tall woman, but WHAT a gigantic and amazing voice. The intensity was extraordinary.

  • @tenorismo You mean, "cracking & forcing"!!! He still needs to add Boris to his ever-growing megalomaniacal repertory!

  • This was glorious. Domingo's heroic and lyric Lohengrin is superb. His Wagner repertoire is very enjoyable & I've loved his Parsifal, Tristan & Siegfried. Leonie Rysanek is a thrilling soprano with a huge voice and this scene was wonderful. Thanks for sharing.

  • Of course Leonie's screams are incomparable and highly dramatic, but the woman very rarely sang in tune in her life. She, Renata Tebaldi and Zinka Milanov have sung more off-tunes than Madonna, they never learned how to tune their voice according to the pitch and I dont think this ever mattered to them

    Nevertheless she is a formidable Ortrud (who cares let alone who understands! bad intonation in our days - not even musicians themselves most of the times)

  • Huh?

  • @dziady1 Ridiculous statement. What you mean is you prefer Vickers voice. Arrogant nonsense like that keeps people away from opera because of self-styled 'aficionados' like you. Vickers never sang Lohengrin so your 'knowledge' rather comes apart at the seams doesn't it?

  • @dziady1 yes now hes following in the steps of Cappucille singing Simone Boccanegra. Like Nixon he will have toi be dragged screaming and kicking.

  • Not too bad by Domingo's standards.
