  • Love it!!! Brilliant!  Brava!!!!!

  • I love singers who can act. Their voices don't need to be beautiful at all times. What they do is have the voice serve the acting. And when this kind of singing works, and it does very well here with the brilliant Hildegard Behrens, then the performance is unforgettable.

  • I would like to thank you all for your kind, heart-felt comments about my beloved mother. Especially the one about her singing with the angels. That one is particularly fitting. God bless you all. Sincerely, S.H.Behrens

  • I remember vieweing the telecast of this Tosca from the Met. There was something very unique about Ms. Behrens' rendition was her ability to attack the high notes with the Wagnerian precisiion that most Italian singers don´t have. W´re used to the typical scopping but Ms. Behrens would aim beautifully like very few singers could (maybe Ms. Gilda Cruz-Romo was another). Amazing control when anybody would point that Ms. Behrens had a powerful trumpet for voice. Her "Vissi d'Arte" is a jewel. RIP

  • @IntampestusNox Yawn.

  • @IntampestusNox 1) I never said you judged her. 2) My "talking like that" was quoting you. Go figure.

  • @IntampestusNox And who are you to judge? Shut up.
