  • Really a top-notch pairing. Swenson has it all, a lovely lyrical voice with deceptively great power. Hadley was simply amazing. How sad that these two singers aren't heard more on recordings.

  • I heard Ms. Swenson sing Adalgisa in Norma at Baltimore Opera in November 2008 (their last production). She was fabulous!!! A favorite of mine for some time, it was the first I saw her live and was well worth the trip. The lovely, creamy tone was intact. She is singing actively, trying some new roles. Beautiful voice, beautiful woman. I hope she can continue for many more years.

    I miss Jerry Hadley. What a tragedy.

  • Is there a recording of her singing the Mad Scene, or the complete opera? I'd love to have it.

  • Mr. Hadley is sharp much of the time.

  • continued... or even videos of the same tenor in which his "forwardness" is different. thank you.

  • @jmahlon I'm not sure I know what that means. I think I would understand with a comparison. Can you give me a tenor with similar voice that does not push too forward, just enough, and one that does not push enough? With those 3 cases, I think I would finally understand that concept of pushing forward or simply the concept of vocal forwardness. Thank you.

  • @wattever333 He pushes his voice a little too forward imo

  • @seektheforce The new management would rather put Fleming, Dessay, or Netrebko in all the rep Swenson would sing.

  • @CONTESTAR why is/was she at odds with the managers?

  • @mwalsh2008 I don't think he was underrated. He has made a lot of recordings and done a lot of performances. If he was underrated, Bernstein would never have worked with him, nor would Abbado and al those other big conductors...

  • @tenorschofield He was not taught "in the mask". It was the opposite.

  • They both were wonderful!!!! She is very attractive and has a round and beautiful voice!!! He does a so well focus of his voice, that you understand what means placed "in the mask" ; that makes me resemble a rounder Kraus!!!!! Very nice duet, thank you for posting and sharing this jewel of singing. Bravoooo!!!!
