Mlle. Davidsen seems very nice here and I genuinely look forward to hearing her live in this rôle, but she pales in comparison to her legendary countrywoman. I'm starting to feel a bit sorry for her. She seems to be a creditable singer by today's standard, but her reputation is spoilt by the pundits who delusionally declare that she's good as or will be good as her operatic foremother.

What a great voice Gedda had. I personally find it ridiculous to sing like this at the age of 70. You would be lucky not walking with a stick at that age let alone sing operas. His voice still maintained the same young and bright quality that he had his entire career. Just amazing. He really took good care of his instrument. Truly the maestro. Wonder if there will be one like him ever again.

In the last years of her career, Dame Joan did not pivot to the standard Verdi repertoire, though this suggests to me it would have been a very good idea, since the center of her voice had naturally dropped a little.

Listening to all this, the parts are greater than the whole. Some nice moments, but really it's kind of a black and white tik-tok video version of Tristan. Davidson doesn't sound authentic. Tenor is on the downhill slope.. The King Marke is very nice.

Beautiful and lush, as always! I think this is my second favorite rendition of hers, right after that live 1967 one on KZbin. Her voice always had a melancholy quality that suits this aria perfectly. I wish she would’ve done Countess as her farewell, as planned vs the small Marguerite role in Huguenots. But she knew herself, and probably thought Countess was too much, that late in her career.

This is about as good as it gets today. Skelton is very good - far better than most of the recorded opposition - but I have an issue with Davidsen who, although she has the notes, seems not to have a very solid 'centre' to her voice. She's OK when 'singing out', but to my ears attuned to such as Dernesch, Nilsson, Flagstad, there's no real beauty to her tone.

Stuart (I’ll call him by his first name, since I’ve sung with him) has the right baritonal timbre. Tristan is an impossible role in this modern age. Unfortunately, he’s well past his prime, and I’m sure he knows that. He does what he can. His top is mostly gone now. At his peak it could be an exciting voice. I’m not sure what to say about Davidsen. I haven’t heard her live (although I will finally hear her next week at the Met), so I’m not sure what kind of actual physical impact her voice has in a theater, but from what I hear here, she seems patchy in the bottom and middle, struggling to get the voice to speak. She gets it together for the final moments of the duet and pulls off some exciting singing, but certainly not at the level of a Flagstad or Nilsson. She sounds like a Jugendlisch to me, not a Heldensopran, best suited to Sieglinde and Elisabeth which she has already sung extensively and successfully. I don’t hear any darkening or deepening of her voice in the past few years that would indicate she has a Brunnhilde or Isolde in her, but who in this day and age has the voice for those roles? She’s the closest thing we’ve got, and I’ll certainly be listening to her with interest in the future. The less said about the rest of the cast (that Brangane, ugh) the better. Rattle certainly had no interest in holding back the orchestra. I’m beyond tired of these conductors just letting orchestras wail when they should be playing with sensitivity to the singers, especially an orchestra that should understand this opera.

I've heard her in Bastille in Paris (huge room with the worst acoustic) twice in Salome: - The first time in row 6 and the volume in the high notes was incredible. I did have interrogations about the middle voice and low voice, I could hear her perfectly because I was so close, but I was wondering how she sounded from afar - The second time, I bought tickets to the back of the room, second balcony, my back against the wall. I could hear EVERY single note coming out of her mouth, including pianissimi notes, middle voice, low voice - which was far from the case for the rest of the cast. This dissipated my doubts. One thing also when you hear her live is that she never seems like she's giving her full volume, you always feel like she can unleash twice more. I'm sure she was nervous about this first Isolde and will work her way with this role. Although I do understand your concern about the voice being not dark enough. We'll see!
@billtroop4236 13 күн бұрын
Trenchant remarks. I agree. There's only so much you can tell from a recording but this is not Wagner at a high level. The conductor is clever but superficial. I can see the Isolde getting better with more experience and a coach who really understands Wagner.

@@MegaSubconsciousInteresting, thanks for this. Yes, the Bastille is unforgiving and awful to sing in. I would say it’s quite similar to where New York City Opera performed, what is now called the Koch Theater, next door to the Met. It was designed to literally muffle ballerinas pointe shoes and footfall on the stage so the acoustic was absolute trash for singers. Even the 5000 seat Met has a much more live sound. If she had no problem being heard in Salome at Bastille, a role that has a lot of middle in and bottom in the early sections, that certainly bodes well. I’m finally hearing her in Tosca at the Met next week, and I specifically got house seats in the upper balcony because I want distance and a mix of sound. The Met orchestra lets it rip in Tosca, frequently to the detriment of the singers and I’m worried it will expose her biggest weaknesses, but I’m still excited to hear it. We’ll see!
@MegaSubconscious 11 күн бұрын
@ Lucky you! I'd love to know how she sounds like in Tosca (I imagine it wouldn't be her strongest role because the voice is not very Italian). If you think about it, please feel free to give me a review here.

How rude the comments about Skelton. Obviously more effortful than Davidsen but, horrible? Rude and cruel. I wish all the experts on these comment threads truly understood what it is to actually sing. Singers are not machines. Not instruments that sound the same each time they perform. Vocalism is the most subjective of all instruments. His Timbre is attractive despite his challenges here. My opinion of course n

Opera inspires passionate reactions from opera people. I've seen booing and worse in the theatre. Opera used to be a fun landscape with passionate opinions, loves and hates, wildly differing enthusiasms or condemnations. That's part of the scene. People have different tastes and there is no accounting for that. .I don't understand the snowflake weakness that finds criticism or judgment or strong opinions in opera to be offensive. You just want to be offended by something, probably every day. Once again,. authentic feelings and human emotions shut down by angry "Social Justice Warriors" with no sense of humor.or openness.
