The DVD was sold as part of a commercial release. All normal copyright provisions apply. You may watch it at home, but you certainly can't publish it elsewhere, which is exactly what you've done.

@16biggles85 However this isn't from no DVD, was taped when was telecasted, the copyright owner is The Australian Broadcasting Corporation

[16biggles85]

This is the Sydney Symphony Orchestra, at the opening of the Sydney Opera House on October 20 1973. And it's uploaded illegally.

@16biggles85 The Australian Broadcasting Corporation allowed me keep this video, it isn't illegal

Birgit Nillsson has no equals and her Wagner is superb!

[orovalleydude]

Fantastic indeed!! She was 55 years old when she did this, and nailed every note, every nuance. Shall we ever hear her like again? No one singing now can match her.

Many thanks Onegin65. Posterity thanks you for posting this wonderful video.

Thanks Onegin65! I heard her only once at Manhattan School of Music. She had the clearest tone I think I have ever heard. No extra color...she let her tone create the color. Up close it was tiny but as it moved away that laser beam would absolutely boom. What is remarkable is that the tone is so uniform. You hardly ever get the sense that she is attacks with force. The legato rolls and keeps her sounding fluid. As a Wagnerian tenor this is a treat to hear.

@16biggles85 But who actually cares? A lot of videos on youtube are illegal but if we didn't have we'd never be able to appreciate artists like Nilsson, especially since her live performances were better and actually captured better than her studio recordings.

[MrNeilsy]

I don't think we will hear singing like this or on the caliber of her colleagues. Nilsson herself said she saw the business going in such a way that was not in the best interest of the singer. I still have some hope that people will wake up and try and get back to producing the kind of singers found in the golden age.

Excelente. Birgit Nilsson es única en este papel. Versión intensa a pesar de realizarla en concierto. Con Solti y la Filarmónica de Viena se alcanzó tal vez la mejor versión posible.

What's with the few complaining about illegaly uploading videos? If it weren't for them I wouldn't 've be introduced to many of the great artists and great music. Also, this is awesome! :)

[16biggles85]

In that case you've broken the law twice. Once in recording it off-air, and secondly by then publishing what you illegally recorded.
