From the sound of the applause, the audience knew they had heard a historic performance.

Words are inadequate to describe that magnificence.

♥️👏

Wow! Could we milk that beginning more? Lol My late voice teacher, who was once vocal coach to 17-year-old "Bobbie Peters" (coloratura Roberta Peters), used to tell me that I reminded her of Eileen Farrell, so I had to listen to her recording. I have a recording of the same lied, sung on a Vero Beach Opera Young Artists' Concert from 2008. I had to work with an accompanist I'd just met 30 minutes before the concert, and he either had great difficulty playing the accompaniment (which, to be fair, is essentially an orchestral reduction) or he intentionally schmaltzed it up with a lot of rubato, similar to this recording. 😄 Either way, I really struggled with phrasing because prior to this performance, I hadn't sung "Schmerzen" for about 20 years, when I was in college (I had just turned 45 a week before my recording.) So I had to take all kinds of breaths in inappropriate places, unfortunately. Still, I feel like I did a decent job given the circumstances. ua-cam.com/video/J6aZmgnFzes/v-deo.htmlsi=5h1rgrNgnpveCMb4

Musique sublime , magnifiquement interprétée !!!

Those really were the days for tremendous Wagner singing.

Superlative

1:07:30!

I attended the Friday afternoon performance of this all-Wagner concert back in 1972. Really enjoyable to hear it again.

Reading a book on US Grant and this song was mentioned. Thanks for posting so long ago

Tambien hans hotter

Astonishing.

FANTASTIQUE ET INIMITABLE ET QUEL CAST

And then, I sat in on a rehearsal with Maestro Serafin. You know, it was Parsifal and I was supposed to see if I do one of the flowers. I didn't. And she sing that music. In Italian of course. And he tell her this and he tell her that and little by little this voice had all the nature in it - the forest and the magic castle and hatred that is love. And little by little she not fat with bad skin and rich-husband-asleep-in-the-corner, she witch who burn you by standing there. Maestro Serafin he say to me afterwards, you know now something about Parsifal. I say, no Maestro. I know much more. I know how to study. And I know that we are more than voices. We are spirit, we are god when we sing, if we mean it. (Renata Scotto on Maria Callas)

La wagneriana más grande entre todas las grandes. Voz bellísima, bien emitida, bien apoyada, con una naturalidad y emoción insuperables. Pena el ruido. La voz suena más clara aquí que años después, pero no menos poderosa; sí más fácil. Insuperable.

Sublime è l'unico termine che mi viene in mente per descrivere questo trinomio Wagner/Crepuscolo - Furtwängler - Flagstad.

A sublime performance.

The perfect gravity and imposing command for this role.

The dramatic wagnerian fach into its fullest splendour , with the most absorbing and formidable music in the hands of this two geniousses of singing and conducting it is truly a goodlike musical experience, impecable,sublime and mesmering ,without words

But he’s so DULL

Now that’s the way Fricka should sound. The voice is about three times larger than any other modern recorded Fricka

An actress I knew in the 1970s told me that she'd heard Flagstad sing when she was a young woman - she said that she'd never been so transfixed in her life - Flagstad's voice live was like listening to 'molten gold'.

Необыкновенно хорошо, можно слушать бесконечно , какая то загадка в чудном голосе её...

Sublime

The lines were so intense.

Another miracle from the famous Leinsdorf Walkure recording!

This whole Leinsdorf recording is a miracle! Nilsson & Vickers are beyond belief awesome!

Insuperabile Furtwängler❤

Supreme

Historique incarnation parfaite !

…1:40 …( und lachte ) …das schafft heutzutage keine Sängerin mehr, außer Mihoko Fujimura! ❤

The voice.

I love Frida Leider so much!🥲

Jesus, he's a mas genius

To hear a deep bass vocalist sing Bass - Baritone on this tremendous level is amazing.

One of the Best !!! And Hans Hotter!! BOTH !!!

The Best wotam ever

💖💖💖

London was probably the greatest interpreter of Wagnerian bass/baritone roles, and this recording of the Solti ""Rheingold" effectively showcases London's artistry. The legendary Wagnerian soprano Kirsten Flagstad(as Fricka) is heard briefly here.

Flagstad’s singing is outstanding. They performed in one happy time: Flagstad, young Callas and Tebaldi, Carteri and many others!

😂❤Звучат яркие прозрачные,блестящие голоса,хочеться слушать бесконечно.Браво оо.❤❤🎉😊

Jakie brzydkie są flagi republikańskie :( To tylko dwa kolory połączone głupio :(

Sublime

The sound is incrédible!!!❤

Not to forget Leinsdorf, who let the singers sing.

😂❤Марсель,это певец,посланный Господом Богом на Землю .Вечная,светлая память Великому Виттришу.❤😊

Просто сказочно, сколько любви вложено. Какой восторг!

The best ever at this

Wagner no era de este planeta.

I AM SORRY THAT THE TECNIC OF THE RECORD IS NOT GOOD FOR THE GREAT FLAGSTAD! SHE SOUNDED BETTER IN NATURAL!!
