Tne voice of Nilsson here reminds me of Natalia de Andrade...

Nilsson was great and so is Jones. Great!!!!!voices with great techniques that took them to the top forever!!!!!!
-
Then on the other hand, the sound quality isn't really flattering either...

Listening to this, I'm staring at my Staatsoper poster of an Elektra performance from 11. June, 1977 with Nilsson, Jones, Hoffmann, Adam. The performance was epic. Four days later I heard Nilsson, Jess Thomas and Karl Ridderbusch in Tristan--also epic.

I know this piece is abstract, but what the hell is Jones singing
-
I heard similar noises like Jones when I was at the seaside and I heard storm warnings howling from the light towers … And they actually SOLD this in Vienna?
-
Jones is awful...

@PakoChile Yes, but don't forget that aside from Elektra, by this point Jones had sung all of the same rep as Nilsson, including all the Brunhildes...she was a great artist in her own right..
Jones was ALWAYS a "bit" Sharp and ALWAYS a "bit" screamy and Nilsson has a very good excuse for this performance: she was 64 and at the end of a great carrer full of Brunhildes, Isoldes, Turandots and Elektras.

I'd like to play this to all the people who think that an Il Divo CD is opera.
(isn't Nilsson the greatest!)
