Ambizioso spirto, tu sei Gwyneth...

[@SteveL2012]

Her top notes are incredible, and I can’t believe they are coming from this petite body. Amazing. Wish any of today’s dramatics could even approximate this.

She's not petite

We should remember that this performance comes after her international performance and success of the 1976, Patrice Chéreau staged Wagner's Der Ring des Nibelungen at the Bayreuth Festival. A solid dramatic soprano was she. Thanks for posting!

I would say the voice shows the strain of singing a demanding role such as Brünnhilde.

[@svjatdud2876]

Spinto!

[@correasilvio2010]

Dramátic soprano.

[@SerafinGuerra-x8b]

what a train wreck.

[@DavidAsset78]

This is hard to listen to. Flat, sharp, unpleasant lunging at top notes and yes, some thrilling singing as well.

[@matthewtravisano1097]

Pitch issues and some odd phrasing. One of the greats, but not her best.

[@correasilvio2010]

Leyla Gencer is the best in Macbeth, Dame Gwyneth Jones is the best in Wagner!

I think there is someone else that is THE Lady M…

[@DavidAsset78]

Always. First, she's flat, then she's sharp. Her voice has always been all over the place, and it's maddening, because she also has come thrilling moments in which she captures your attention and then wham... an off-note and an unpleasant lounging at her top notes.
