She is simply unbelievable! Her voice is just as at home in the Germanic operas as it is in the Italian! Just incredible, incredible, incredible!!!!!! She is every bit as good as Nilsson, and in some aspects, better. (Birgit forgive me, you're still a goddess!)

Remember, at the time of Salome, the standard for femaly beauty was quite different from the anorexic/bulimic stick figures that are so popular today. Caballe could quite well have been considered extremely desireable and, well, just very sexy in her (Salome's) time. Anyone ever see a fertility goddes from antiquity? None ever resembles the walking cadavers that seem to be the standard today. And MY GOD the ways she sings it! And the acting is also superb. Brava! Brava! Brava!

Despite some clarifications, there's still a bit of mystery surrounding this video. This is clearly Caballe performing. She is lip synching to her own voice, as used to be the tradition in opera movies. This is from the pre-recorded Leinsdorf RCA album from 1968 according to one source. Some are saying this is not a full movie but just a lavish segment in a documentary film of Spanish opera singers. Whatever this is, the set design and costumes and actors are great! This is the perfect Salome

@lovesGenet You wrote this 3 months ago. Surely you know by now that Caballe did in fact sing the Countess in Le Nozze Di Figaro! She sang it on stage in her career. There is a recording available on Amazon.com. Caballe wassimilar to Maria Callas in greatness. She sang Norma, Turandot, Isolde, Tosca, Aida, and much more. No one thought she would do all that when she debuted humbly as Marguerite in Faust!

I can't believe this is Caballe . She is a great Wagnerian /Straussian. I had no idea she was so strong in this way.Geese is there anything she can't do? Mozart? Not the Countess .Has she recorded dove sono? This Salome is beyond belief!!!

No one wrote better for the female human voice than Richard Strauss.

Una gran musicalidad e interpretación.
No en balde Caballé siempre ha dicho que es role preferido.
Intensa,perfecta
Es playback pero que intensidad.
La voz es de unos años antes del 68

it's just an "offenbarung" for me

Is this a movie or a live performance? Do you know when it was made and who are the conductor, the other singers and which orchestra played?

This looks like part of the Series Spaniard Operatic Stars. So don't get your juices going. The whole thing does not exist in this production. This is just this segment.
Onegin, what else was recorded on this?
