[1973 live] Czardas (Die Fledermaus) - Joan Sutherland

[@crazyorganist1609]

Joanies's comedic timing was absolutely perfect. Her interpretation was perfect. Her technique was unparalleled and remains so to this day

[@andreaclaudia3232]

She could have sung Chinese for all I care. Stupenda!!!

[@cadoh8143]

Tecnicamente sem rival. Bravíssima.

[@attilapetyar6202]

As a native Hungarian, I am IMPRESSED. She was a beast. La Stupenda indeed.

[@debbiewoodburn6786]

The unmistakable voice of the incomparable Joan Sutherland.

[@Tkimba2]

In the introduction she actually projects her low chest voice pretty well for her standard! Brava!

[@josephgiles2204]

Love the critic's comment about the Czardas may as well as have been in Hungarian. Take it to the bank, Dame Joan!

[@LordMgls]

What a scene!!!! "But sir - I was singing in Hungarian" how professional!

[@debbiewoodburn6786]

Such a magnificent voice.

[@CaptFitzbattleaxe]

Nonsense. Hallenstein is wonderful, but this is in a class all its own. No one could combine power, beauty and perfect technique like Joan Sutherland.

[@crazyorganist1609]

Her comedic timing was perfect

[@randysills4418]

For people who don't know, Sutherland is singing this part of the operetta IN HUNGARIAN.

[@bpetii1]

Thats true, but as I am a native Hungarian, I rarely understand 1-2 words. Anyways, she sings it really well

[@heesimv]

Sounds as if Rosalinde planned this „show“ in the 1st act….😂

[@davidallen508]

What a show-stopper.I have always loved this aria (or song) and probably most admired the Elizabeth Schwarzkopf version,despite the cut-off final note.However,Dame Joan’s is far and above the greatest of them all.She has left us such an amazing recorded legacy.Thank you.

[@diefledermichael801]

Nonsense--Anna Moffo's version here on youtube is clearly superior, as was so often the case in varied repertoire during her prime.

[@silverkitty2503]

@@diefledermichael801 no singer has truly ever mastered this aria that is the truth ...imo as a singer this rendition is like the closest to a decent rendition ..the fact that this aria stretched even joan sutherland though should tell you everything you need to know about the difficulty involved ....i don't think there will ever be a singer who will pull this off really well ....imo strauss should have changed it to fit the human voice a bit better ..with mozart queen of the night aria his genius was stretching and pushing the voice not to write something inhuman that no singer was ever going to be able to master ...and even joan sutherland and anna moffo themselves would tell you no singer alive or dead has mastered this aria they either change it or .it usually falls apart ..

Hazámnak dalára nyugtom nem lelem, Könnytelt a szemem, a szívem fáj, Igéz a hangja, a zenéje kábít, Visszacsábít híven az ősi táj. A pusztán a délibáb, A napfény, a nyíló virág, A fák sűrű zöldje, A dús búza földje, Ó, az volt a boldog világ! Ó, százszor áldott kép, Mely a szívembe zárva ég! Százszor áldott kép, Ha messze vagy ma, hazám, ah, Te vagy szülőanyám, Szívemben ég a vágy, Rólad zeng a szám! A pusztán a délibáb, A napfény, a nyíló virág, A fák sűrű zöldje, A dús búza földje, Ó, az volt a boldog világ! Tűz és szenvedély, Víg hangú jó kedély, Tánc és nótaszó, Így mulatni jó! Hej, te barna lány, Csárdásra várnak ám! Nyújtsd a két karod, Járd a táncot, hopp! Húz rá egy szépet, Ujjong az ének! Peng a sarkantyú, Elszáll a gond, a bú, Párja oldalán Boldog így a lány. Bort, bort nékünk, Forrjon a vérünk! Boldog álmot! Boldog álmot hozzon ez ma rám. Baj, ha volna, Fojtsuk borba, Ezzel köszöntlek, szép hazám! Tűz és szenvedély, Víg hangú jó kedély, Tánc és nótaszó, Így mulatni jó!

[@MrKvarner]

Perfection!!!

[@CaptFitzbattleaxe]

@MusikPiratCH The more I listen to opera, the more I realise that no repretoire belings to any one singer. Hallenstein & Sutherland were world class singers, but comparing them is silly. Each interpretation is fabulous, but in a different way. (Also, Suthetland sings in Hungarian here to jive with the storyline better.)

[@zoricabelic8534]

One and only ♥️🌟🌟🌟

[@65attila]

Elizabeth Rethberg sings this magnificently. I also love Joan et al. Nice to have choices.

[@zoricabelic8534]

The best! ❤️

[@acacia-bloom]

MusikPiratCH Hallstein had about a third of Sutherland's voice and if you prefer canary soubrettes singing Rosalinde then one can understand why you may prefer those singers you named.

[@MusikPiratCH]

Nevertheless Sutherland cannot match with Hallstein's Czardas. And as at that time Sutherland isn't singing the original language - German! And volume is not the criterium I use - sorry, but you seem not to understand what means good coloraturas ... Therefore I don't discuss any further with you.

[@Dadacomero]

MusikPiratCH good coloraturas ? HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAH don't be ridiculous!

[@acacia-bloom]

MusikPiratCH Who is talking about volume? What has volume got to do with anything we are talking about here? You seem to be totally on the wrong track. Hallstein was a soubrette and couldnt/didnt sing Rosalinde or the Czardas in the theater. Sutherland was a dramatic coloratura. Hallstein also sang many Italian roles in German, so what?

[@williammaddox3339]

Acacia - Hallstein had 1/3 of JS's voice? More like 1/10

[@MusikPiratCH]

+William maddox I don't understand what you mean by that! If you compare voices like that we have nothing at all in common! I judge more their technique and here Sutherland is weaker than Hallstein. Here in this role Sutherland has no legato in her coloraturas and nothing light like Strauss Czardas asks! Your idol Joan Sutherland seems very weak in this role that does not even suit her. Sometimes you should be intelligent in chosing roles that suits you ... xD +Acaccia Bloom Same with you! You seem to know everything about Joan Sutherland (who is really bad here) but nothing about Hallstein, who was the best Johann Strauss singers! xD Give me a break! :P

viva la vidaaaaaaa...................oleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee........toreraaaaaaaaaaa

[@bellini7verdi]

@bellini7verdi se nota que disfrutaba con su propia voz.......alucinante...............

[@MadonnaImperia]

This seems slightly higher pitched than on the cd, which I own, and which, unfortunately, seems a semitone too low. Have you remastered it? :)

[@kastrafior]

People, just listen to Cristina Deutekom's version on yt, please. Listen and cry.

[@viorelbadiceanu8150]

This version?.... kzbin.info/www/bejne/jYbVZmWHgsumhtk

I love Joan............but my favorite version of this is the Gundula Janowitz. Check it out.

Who's ever heard of Hallstein?

A goddess ❤

[@MU-ey3jt]

Hallstein, Hallstein. Wer ist schon Hallstein....

[@СеклитаЛимариха]

Хороша.

[@silverkitty2503]

Joan Sutherland admitted herself ...this is an inhuman aria. It was her opinion no one could sing it ...i agree....no singer alive or dead has pulled this off its UNSINGABLE....even though she thought no one could sing it ....she JUST ABOUT sang it ....this aria nearly fucked Joan Sutherland ....THAT is how hard this aria is. Think about that.

[@Inspireme1429]

Now we all love you mother Sutherland ,however this language is HORRIBLE!!!!!

[@LaDivinaLover]

How is it horrible, my aunt speaks Hungarian and said it was pretty accurate.

[@MusikPiratCH]

However the original language of Strauss' "Die Fledermaus" is German (Klänge der Heimat)! :P I also find Sutherland's singing horrible here! ;(

[@highbaritone]

MusikPiratCH everyone is wonderful and everyone is horrible. Sometimes I read just to have a good think. I love the human voice and there are so many I like. Actually I like them all. If they are out there having a career there must be a reason. Cheers 🥂

[@silverkitty2503]

Its meant to be ...the character she plays ISNT REALLY HUNGARIAN ...she is playing it to spy on her husband ...she is meant to be really german ...playing a realy fake hungarian

[@silverkitty2503]

@@MusikPiratCH She was older ....and its the czarsdas ...not her best ..she described the aria as impossible.
