Cheryl Studer sings Elsa's Dream (Elsas Traum) "Einsam in trüben Tagen" from Lohengrin from Bayreuth, 1991.

She never oversings. So many singers think being loud is enough.

Ms. Studer is so musical and has flawless technique. Absolutely beautiful!

[@melisandedebussy]

a perfect rendition of elsa, cheryl studer has the sweet color, and perfect technique, and everything, i love this version

[@luisnorbertogomez7058]

Hermosa voz

[@wotan10950]

I only saw Studer onstage a few times in New York. She gives an outstanding rendition here of Elsa’s narrative. There was a time where Studer was in every recording, no matter the composer or role-demands, and I think she simply sang too much, without having a core repertoire she could fall back on.

Ein richtig Offenes Singen... Und ein 3-Dimensionales Singen ( wie es Cheryll Studer in Ihren Meisterklassen nennt). Toll singt dies auch Pilar Lorengar, wie ein Engel und Eszter Sümegi mit der richtigen Mischung aus Erdung und Höhenfärbung der Töne.

Camera is all right! You have to see the stage (Henning von Gierke, inspired by Caspar david Friedrich)

[@chaim1954]

The words: Einsam in trüben Tagen hab' ich zu Gott gefleht, des Herzens tiefstes Klagen ergoss ich im Gebet. Da drang aus meinem Stöhnen ein Laut so klagevoll, der zu gewalt'gem Tönen weit in die Lüfte schwoll: Ich hört' ihn fernhin hallen, bis kaum mein Ohr er traf; mein Aug' ist zugefallen, ich sank in süssen Schlaf. In Lichter Waffen Scheine ein Ritter nahte da, so tugendlicher Reine ich keinen noch ersah: Ein golden Horn zur Hüften, gelehnet auf sein Schwert - so trat er aus den Lüften zu mir, der Recke wert; mit züchtigem Gebaren gab Tröstung er mir ein; des Ritters will ich wahren, er soll mein Streiter sein! Des Ritters will ich wahren, er soll mein Streiter sein! ohne sich umzublicken Hört, was dem Gottgesandten ich biete für Gewähr: In meines Vaters Landen die Krone trage er; mich glücklich soll ich preisen, nimmt er mein Gut dahin - will er Gemahl mich heissen, geb' ich ihm, was ich bin!

Excellent performance by a gorgeous soprano. The camera work could be better, though -- more close-ups instead of just vague middle-distance shots.

[@SatanAteMySocks]

You should listen to her Salome, she's absolutely great in this role.

[@christopherjohnfrancisboon8989]

Oh yes. I found her Salome only one or two years ago and never heared any better. Such range, such technical perfection. Wunderbar!!!

[@PianoCover132]

Opera !!

[@marco-marchi]

Grande Wagner!

[@vscanzi]

@raigekimaru Well, if she has the proper instrument to sing Wagner and does it correctly, there's no reason she would be in danger...

[@saagua1953]

Sadly her voice deteriorated after her prime years and now she sings only rarely.

[@raigekimaru]

she had to take a leap of absence due to damaged vocal chords and she comes back and sings Wagner? wonderful to listen to yes, but not a smart career move

[@greatmomentsofopera7170]

raigekimaru it's hilarious when people think KZbin videos are like TV and are broadcasting recent concerts. Also when people talk to the stars directly through KZbin (I.e use the second person rather than the first person) I realise I'm 7 years too late on this. Haha. Superb live recording. Not sure who at the moment we have of commensurate quality in the lighter Wagner roles - I.e youth and power.

[@NYCOPERAFAN]

This was recorded BEFORE that period, she was perfect for lyric Wagner and Strauss should not have wasted her talents on Italian roles for which she was less suitable.
