Elizabeth Schwarzkopf sang Traviata until she saw her great friend Callas in Traviata - then she never sang Traviata again !

Molto insolito e interessante
-
She's singing in English, because at Covent Garden in those days they were doing that. I've never understood the "no color" comment. I think hers is a rich sound. And I love her very much.

Did Schwarzkopf do much bel canto? Her voice has so little colour and agility. Beautiful singer though.
-
Non si può! Ma quando mai la Traviata in lingua inglese?!?! Gran voce grande opera ma a mio parere lei non ha voce da Violetta tantomeno in inglese!
-
Great artist anyhow. RIP

This is a real treasure despite the background static. Schwarzkopf should have sung this in it's original Italian which no doubt she could do; her voice is beautiful and her Violetta in this scene (the A Fors e Lui and Sempre Libera) show her to have command of the Verdi technique and finds her in fantastic shape: good upper register. Her coloratura is decent even if not hair-raising and that final note is grand. She really had it in her to sing Violetta in Traviata

I heard Schwarzkopf many times over the space ot 10 years or so, in America and Germany. She had the most wonderful voice and fabulous technique. However, I recently heard a record of her in 1946--terrible! A hard voice with none of the richness we expect. By a recording of 1950, it was all there. I don't know what she did, but it was a totally different voice. Anyone have any ideas why?

@arturo3164 I feel the exact same way about her voice! Boring.... even in german...

I have heard Schwarzkopf, and I have heard Violetta, and this is certainly not the best of either. The english doesn't help (can't understand anything!). Her running notes are also rather sloppy--she excels in more lyric roles, I would say.

Oh dear, Violetta in English, what a terrible idea. Elisabeth has a beautiful voice but she is no Violetta. Some passages of her Mozart and Strauss singing (Elvira, Marschallin, some lieder) show emotional depth, but she strikes me as a "cold" artist despite her technical polish and obvious musicianship. Look up her surprisingly good Liu in the 1957 TURANDOT recording with a very good Maria Callas as the princess and the execrable Eugenio Fernandi as Calaf.
