Aufführung im Bachjahr 1985, Chor St. Stephan Karlsruhe, Leitung: Andreas Schröder

"Unsere" Ortrun Wenkel aus Heidelberg - einfach wunderbar !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

15:42

Schade, ich hätte den beiden gerne weiter zugehört 😢

All Saints Day concert in Vienna, from November 1st 1981.

Amazing!!!! Thank God she ist still alive!

Unfassbar großartig!

Epic

Never heard a platinum voice like that before! Listen Birgit Nilsson, this is singing!!!!

Ortrun Wenkel, - eine der ganz großen Altistinnen. Meine Verehrung.

Quite lovely. Love to hear the Libera Me.

The soprano is Ursula Buckel.

Bravi tutti!!

Who is the pianist?

One of the best contralto singer. Superb. 👍👍👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Such a fine voice and artistic temperament - Ortrun Wenkel.

Rare to hear a true contralto rather than a mezzo soprano in this music. What a fine tone quality!

So Erda got wrapped up in her own bed sheets? I see Erda in a more dignified light.

Uno Steinway di insolita essenza!

The complete video, please!!!!

When was this concert? Based on Matti Salminen's apparent age, I'm guessing early 1980s.

Woooowww....... Truly superb duet... What a wonderful partnership. 💓💓💓

would love to get the complete work for John Mitchinson my singing teacher

Some things in this world are just to beautiful for words. Thank you for posting this.

Would it be possible to upload the full performance of this? Would be most grateful! Sincerely, Thomas

Quality upload. Thank you.

Muy hermoso

woooowww.... what a voice.. love it

My favorite duett

Ever entrancing!

Simply astonishing piano accompaniment by Wilhelm von Grunelius.

I can still hear the screaming afterwards. And not from joy. Ha!

Lovely!

beautiful,, thank you for sharing

Yes- the ingemisco please.

Thank you so much for this. I would dearly love to see more/any GFP on youtube. Thank you!

This is my favorite performance of this opera--I think the Lenski's aria on this (1982) is his very best. Of course, I don't think he ever did a performance that wasn't awe inspiring. I'm just sorry I never heard him live, but I treasure my recordings!

Would somebody please tell me who the soprano is in this delightful duet. I know the mezzo is Ortrun Wenkel. I don't speak German and cant phathom out the name in the vocal intro. I think her voice is devine and with Ortrun the music is bliss. Thanks.

Thanks so much ! Really like those two as Erda und Wotan

Hallo, the production was in 1976. The Video was recorded in 1980. Best regards Walter Scholl

What year was that ? 1976 ? Can someone tell me please ?

The second song is also included in this video: STEHE STILL.

Erda as a homeless bag lady. Nice job.

I have this part on tape. Marvellous to see it back in picture. Warm memories.

Could we have the Ingemisco - please!

Brava. Post the Ingemisco - please

„Do M…” Precz z moich oczu!...Posłucham od razu. Precz z mego serca!...I serce posłucha. Precz z mej pamięci!...Nie! Tego rozkazu moja i Twoja pamięć nie posłucha. Jak cień tym dłuższy, gdy padnie z daleka, Tym szerzej koło żałobne roztoczy, - Tak moja postać, im dalej ucieka, Tym grubszym kirem Twą pamięć pomroczy. Tak w każdym miejscu i o każdej dobie, Gdziem z Tobą płakał, gdziem się z Tobą bawił, Wszędzie i zawsze będę ja przy Tobie, Bom wszędzie cząstkę mej duszy zostawił.

Glenn Parker was a fantastic teacher, and I'm sure everyone that studied with him (including myself) at Westminster Choir College will agree. It was immensely unfortunate that he passed away so young. I treasure the time spent working with him.

thanks for posting..so much souvenir !

@Lucasrica Ja! Das stimmt! Die menschliche Singstimme, das schönste Instrument! Eine sehr schöne Darbietung!
