Kaufmann, as always, could easily give Cura a run for his money. And Voigt is almost on the same level as Behrens.

[christo8684]

@mannail888 I think Behrens was way better !

[mannail888]

@christo8684 Really, Behrens is way better than Voigt?

[christo8684]

@mannail888 that's what I think

[coryisawake]

Voigt's singing is deplorable at this point. This is not the voice of a stentorian Valkyrie; this is the voice of Grane.

[Atkinface]

I find myself in a quandary here, I really want to like this for Kaufmann, but Voigt is just so weak...

[freakonaleash3112]

kaufmann is superb here! his annunciation is impeccable, and you can easily hear him over the massive wagnarian orchestra! BRAVO!

[mozart200657]

@coryisawake I agree!

Und in welcher Sprache singt Frau Voigt?

[windstorm1000]

the bare set is not helping the singers--its not mythic enough. stage direction of prod. doesn't appear to be good--little movement of singers. too static.

[JoanatNo29]

@windstorm1000 KAUFMANN, not 'Hoffman' !

[PrevitaliA]

@windstorm1000 I only saw her a couple of times rather at the end of her carrier, but I consider having paid enough money for those performances spoiled by the horrible voice of Behrens (who never should touch Brünhilde, Isolde and Elektra) to have the right to "dish" her. Your comparing her with Callas leaves me almost speachless... They were also colling Ania Silja 'the German Callas"... ha ha ha

[windstorm1000]

@mannail888 well, if you include the acting, then yes, its quite obvious. but Voigt is more than servicable with a big ringing voice.

[windstorm1000]

@coryisawake Yes, yes, yes--Behren's a great artist--gave of her total self. But Voigt sounds great here--powerful ,ringing--what's every one carping about?? She's more than servicable. I'm not sure if I like her costume though. By size wise, do you mean the voice? Behren's certainly made the most of what she had--and we go to opera to see as well as hear. Acting so important--that's why so many still adore Behren's and Callas who is, i beilve, her only equal in all of opera.
