James King, Christa Ludwig "Mon cœur s'ouvre à ta voix"

[@MrFelixberlin]

Ludwigs Stimme ist die vollkommenste die ich jemals vernehmen durfte, Chapeau!

[@acacia-bloom]

Probably the "creamiest" voice to ever sing this aria, Where other mezzos manouvre in and out of breaks between head and chest voice, Ludwig attains probably one of the smoothest and most lucious toned version ever.

[@EricWortman-b7v]

Agree!

[@soprana53]

RIP, Christa Ludwig. Thank you for all you gave to us.

[@kikipt]

Absolutely stunning. I have never heard Dalila sung with such round and luscious tone. She is simply incomparable. R.I.P. Maestra!

[@marcrodriguez7177]

magnifique, diction parfaite, puissance incomparable, vibrato maîtrisé, ligne de chant admirable.

[@kelor]

Comme de l'eau tiede.. Je prefere Jessie Norman.

[@bauchmann9971]

Jessey Norman en fait du Wagner.😮 Cette Version est une des rares bonnes avec celle de Janet Baker!❤

[@EricWortman-b7v]

Her line is astonishing, and her voice is truly voluptuous! I'm not usually given to superlatives, but this wipes me out.

[@wimo-db141]

"A warm creamy perfection" Thank you Christa.

[@bobturnley2787]

So stunningly beautiful. Christa's singing could calm the most tortured soul. James sings his part with great tenderness.

[@FranzBlumVan1890]

Both Ludwig and King, one of their kind!

[@frederiquebacquet7125]

Le plus bel air chanté par la plus belle voix !

[@cimbassovr]

MERAVIGLIOSA CHRISTA LUDWIG👍❤🥇 GRANDISSIMO JAMES KING👍❤🥇

[@pilouetmissiou]

C'est superbe, chaud, envoûtant, parfaitement maîtrisé, d'une grande beauté vocale....deux immenses chanteurs pour notre bonheur encore aujourd'hui ! Merci pour ce généreux partage ...

[@saleenapiano]

two of the finest singers of the 20th century. james king did not get the credit he deserved.

[@Marcel_Audubon]

Sally, why do 90% of KZbin comments bemoan people not getting the credit they allegedly deserved? Was the entire 20th century nothing more than a credit misassignment era???

[@dubbelhenke854]

James King is a marvel! What a spectacular voice!

[@christinefruchard8912]

Pas LE PLUS BEAU TIMBRE ..si vous voulez entendre LE BEAU DUO ...FOR EVER ECOUTEZ .THILL ET CERNAY ELEGANCE..PHRASE ..BEAUTE VOCALE INTRISEQUE ....c’est au dessus de tout Mais celui -ci est de haut niveau.. Eluzalyrics

[@dubbelhenke854]

Thill was a glorious singer.

[@marialuizep.7872]

Pure gold.

[@MrInterestingthings]

I first heard this with Rosa Ponselle and have never forgotten its melody . Norman, Ludwig,Ponseele every soprano even mezzo Marilyn Horne sing it . I imagine tenors sing it too !

[@joaoaurelio1534]

Damn, when King entered i questioned who slays the most. This is beyond flawless. The vibrant voice, on the theatre that must have make the building vibrate with it, it's that sound that penetrates with this brilliancy. These voices are so rich, that's really what i feel the song asks for. And the high B might blow up La Scala if needed

[@hwh1946]

two of the greatest singers of the late 20th century. Perfectly matched. Thanks for this.

[@evabachle286]

Das geht wahrlich unter die Haut, vor allem dieses wunderbare belcanto von Christa Ludwig

[@FranciscoFerrerGaliana1930]

MARAVILLOSAS VOCES

[@fortezimo]

Christa Ludwig is just flawless.

[@massimodefrancovich4795]

Meravigliosi!! Forse la più bella edizione di questo brano sapientissimo!!!

[@luc7luc797]

Concordo pienamente!

[@nathanclark2780]

Words cannot express the beauty evoked in this piece. My heart is filled with emotion and longing for that elusive true love I have been searching eternities for. While comforting, this music is also heart breaking in its beauty and in the emotions it evokes. The music stands alone. As I said, words cannot express.

[@donm7823]

I just felt what Heaven must be like. This is beyond gorgeous -- The two of them, such musicianship, such beauty of sound, such believers and expressionists of the libretto. Truly these are stupendous artists for all time.

[@aliciaocorrea]

Woooow! The Most beautiful i have ever heard!

[@MrFelixberlin]

Christa Ludwig mit einer Stimme die die reine Einigkeit mit dem Göttlichen verbindet - mehr geht nicht.

[@christagabriele3564]

What a wonderful voice ! Tanks for sharing

[@Z2039]

Rosalie, belíssima voz da contralto. Aliás nas obras de Saint-Saëns a gente sempre encontra as mais belas vozes de contralto. Ele tinha uma predileção por essa voz e por timbres um tanto sombrios ... Lindíssima área. Abraços. God Bless You! IAM - Zylpha God

[@hemeljohn1]

This is beautiful beyond belief!!!!

[@tenorschofield]

Bravo!!!, both where superb artists with great vocal talents. A real model to follow for me is James King, Bravo!!!

[@kevinsong2946]

Just amazing, heavenly voices

[@lucianogualtieri6721]

Bravissima! Ringrazio La Barcaccia che oggi le ha dedicato i suoi 45 minuti. Non la conoscevo.

[@beth_levin_piano]

Incredible.

[@iubanne]

Christa ❤❤❤

[@1sumiresan2]

Wunderschön singen beide! Ich kannte sie sehr gut, weil sie bei uns an der Staatsoper oft gesungen hatten

[@williammountfield8508]

Best Samson recording ever !

[@trbaker8000]

Amazing, considering that she never sang the role.

No conocía a esta cantante. Hermosa voz y color.

hypnotic from Christa. Samson had no chance!

Bravissimo!!

[@gracielagil]

Fue gloriosa, En realidad una suplica de amor extraordinaria

[@juanitococu]

se... Very beautiful.

[@larespo1]

Simply breathtaking! Where can I get a recording of this?

[@AnaLuiza-rl9ee]

Que maravilhosas vozes; onde posso ouvir a ópera completa?

[@Huaimek861]

Thanks !!! this is a superb rendering , what a rich and powerful voice , combining a nice balance between passion and tender love , that touchesmy soul , beautiful !!! I wonder who the tenor was ?

[@НатальяПугаченко-м2ь]

чудо, как хороша!!!

[@TheRenamay]

Toll!

[@Michel-eg9eh]

It really sounds heartfelt, considering the excellence of the performers... But remember this is a song meant to deceive Samson (check the libretto)!

[@dimalpha5561]

Rip Christa

[@MadonnaImperia]

James King. He sings Siegmund in the Solti Ring on Decca.

[@tadcotadco6344]

excellent performance ! It seems this is very old?

[@ShawDAMAN]

What a powerful b flat at the end. shame the audio breaks up so much

[@jordipanadesribera6890]

Cantants d’abans i de sempre.

[@Altonahh10]

Auch wenn mir Ludwig tatsächlich zu schön singt, ist dies ein Traumduett sondergleichen - und wir stellen uns nun mal Garanca und Kaufmann vor, die heutigen sogenannten Superstars, wie das dann klingt.

[@1sumiresan2]

wunderbar gesungen!!!

[@fernandopinheirobb]

CORAÇÃO ABERTO Na ópera Sansão e Dalila, de Saint-Saëns, a ária Diz: "meu coração se abre à tua voz, como se Abrem as flores ao beijar da aurora!" Um pária, Assim era aspecto físico de Sansão, em catarse. A ária Mon cœur s'ouvre à ta voix conta a dor Sentida pela ausência dos amores que voltam A se encontrar, a fim de viver o antigo amor. Não há mais separatividade (que dificultam), Nem no tempo e nem no espaço, são ideias Terrenas que nos afastaram de nós mesmos, Estamos na egrégora de luz, sem as cadeias. A Covid - 19 veio justamente para nos avisar Da trilha certa, sem mais andar por aí, a esmo Em que reencontramos o passado para amar.

Qu'est-ce que vous voulez dire par: "Barito final hélas" Je le trouve magnifique,moi, son si bémol.

[@christinefruchard8912]

Il donne bien le BFLATELUZALYRICS

[@infrantasi]

That was the best Mon coeur I've ever heard. She would have had a job at Disney World nowadays, while Garanca and diDo-Nothing would get all the roles. That's the way opera, or what is left of it, works its one leg that still functions, with a cane and a crutch.

[@alicjaalvena1120]

true, don't forget NOTrebko and BARK-olli.

[@frankieblue1738]

Clearly, we've unleashed the bitchy opera queens. Isn't it possible to praise Christa Ludwig without being hateful to other unique and highly successful artists? Have YOU achieved anything close to Elina Garanca, Joyce DiDonato or Cecilia Bartoli? My guess is a resounding "NO."

[@bauchmann9971]

Ich muss gestehen, ich habe die ganze Rolle nicht im Ohr u. Sie ist wohl stellenweise dramatisch-aber gerade diese Arie nicht u. sie sollte zärtlich und innig klingen. Das höre ich nur bei Ludwig u. Baker!

[@achromatisme7372]

Orchestre et chef absent comme très souvent...

Some of these notes... can they be emerging from human organs......

[@jenspflug7473]

Very good rendition, yet, I prefer the Russians (Obraztsova, Borodina) as they don't sing in the mask and don't sound nasal. Open sound. Never heard of the tenor before but he is a good one.

[@saturn3344]

María José Montiel does a lovely version as well.

[@vivegedda]

Pas tres beau Ludvig dans le grave! Quand meme quelques beaux moments.J'ai entendu Gorr sur scene et c'était bien meilleur.Quant a King, il chant serré et ca n'est pas vraiment un role pour lui.
