I honestly just don't think it can be sung any better !

Königin Nilsson!

[janejones11]

Nilsson is a breathtaking Salome! Her laser beam high notes and dominant vocalism blow me away! She has such vocal solidity and confidence.

Check out the Met Gala with her (also on you tube) Crappy video with I assume korean or japanes subtitles, same scene - she is bringing down the house

Lame direction, tame orchestra, superb voice.

[metropolitan1966]

Brava! La Nilsson's voice is like a gale force wind. Such a great document of an important singer in a one of her finest roles! Thanks for the upload.

birgit nilsson sang this unimproveable, no question!!!

but for my taste the orchestra goes under here it's to quiet here, Strauss improved the form of sinfony-opera e.g. Salome and especially in the scene, salomes long solo, this is not a bravour-aria, the voice is a part of Strauss' instrumentation to this violent scene, because the text, just my opinion, is not important here, the content of this scene is very, very clear... maybe it's just fault of the recording.

But BRAVO Ms. Nilsson!!!!!!!!

He could have just had her locked up. He didn't have to have her killed.

oh well.

[rafbilza]

Great, great, great! I love you Birgit
