How old is she here? Definitely too old for Isolde, it seems. Still, hers is the definitive Venus from back in her prime!
-
Like Gwyneth. Like welsh peeps. Not here at her best, perhaps that was as Brünhilde in master K's Ring.

Saw the same as Ettoredipugnar. Was fascinated. Still am.

I saw her as Isolde at the Met mmmmm1982 with Spas Wenkoff as Tristan. She knew how to sing Isolde. As did Nilsson

I first heard Jones as Salome at the Met in 1980?, when I was a high school student. Her voice was unique and cutting, and her performance was riveting (no body suit needed for the near-naked Dance of the 7 Veils). It was my first live Richard Strauss, and I will always associate this magnificent artist with Strauss (including a later vivid Marschellin). Someone in these comments said that voices are like chocolate and all good. I'd make the analogy to wines. She was always a vintage artist

Here we go again......such dismissive comments are a little vexing in any circumstances.
Don't judge a singer only by how she sounds on youtube. Do you have any notion of how difficult it is to record a huge voice? Jones was past her best here in purely vocal terms but there are many many other things to compensate. She is one of the most celebrated singers living and it has nothing to with PR.

I understand that Ms Jones could be "uneven". I will say that I saw her sing Isolde in Tokyo in the mid 80's when the Vienne Staatsopper toured asia. She was so "on" that night-almost inhumanly beautiful sounds coming out of her-at the same time sweet, powerful, poignant. After the liebestod, the normally reserved Tokyo audience leapt out of their seats and rushed screaming and yelling toward the stage. It was all magnificent!
