i'm impressed that with her incredible fiato, sometimes she's breathing between phrases.

[Yasmund]

A magnificent surpassing of the Countess: the Empress.

[youshite]

you are all such great opera singers, only trouble is, i dont see you muppets on here showing us how its done. and how rich and famous are you? when you can copy her attainment, perhaps you hapless armchair windbags could demonstrate. why not just listen and enjoy, like most of us?

She has beautiful voice - but-

no one sings the song as beautiful as Gundula Janowitz

now and for all times "Gundula Janowitz"

Too late in her career for such a slow tempo ( although it remains a performance ). And the orchestra is soporific. Hear the Mozart she sang 20 years before; you certainly will be very surprise by the supreme quality of her style and mastery.

[TheSmoshmy]

too slow and it kept getting so slow that it almost ground to a halt.There was no line and sense of forward movement.She seemed to be singing note by note instead of in lovely, shapely and logical phrases.So it ultimately became rather boring and made me feel impatient.Ultra slow does not necesarily mean depth of emotion.

[miuzefreak]

hate it so much when she stops right before a high note... she doesn t even need to do that!!!!!!!!!!! hate it hate it hate it

[miuzefreak]

the tempo here is also very slow

[SangpourPlaisir]

@jinquanzh this is true, she did have the greatest technique of all singers. People talk of Callas expression or of Sutherlands coloratura but Caballe had them all beat when it came to technique.
