There is no other Ariadne, pure and simple. No other soprano rivals Jessye Norman's command of German (not even native speakers), no one else invests so much meaning in each word.

a rather stupid thing to say! You obviously don't speak German, or are not a native speaker. There is no difficulty in the few chopped German phrases here .... having said that, Norman is superb!

@@WalterTonetto She has great diction in whatever language she is singing in. When Caballe sang German, it was not as exact as Norman's diction. You can hear every vowel and consonant perfectly. She is correct in saying Jessye takes her time with each forming of a word.

Simply astounding! The opening legato phrase seems unending and brought off with consummate perfection, to say nothing of the magical ways in which she modulates her tonal color while singing that line.. Norman's is an astonishing feat of vocal artistry in a star-studded recording that will almost certainly not be surpassed in our lifetime.
@axe70644 жыл бұрын
Your appraisal is very befitting of this performance and you understand the music. May I ask you a question? Was Jessye Norman not particularly popular among the opera establishment? The professional bodies? Classic FM didn't even include her in the top 20 sopranos of all time and the obituary of Jessye by Classic FM ,was maybe 2 paragraphs with no mention of Wagner! just a few orchestras she's worked with, the awards she had gotten over the years but nothing about her voice or talent and no links to her greatest performances

Perhaps the greatest thing about beautiful singing is that each singer is blessed with different "extraordinariness". Viva la difference! Jessye and Renee are different, and both great. Each brings something different, wonderful and unique to whatever characterization or role they sing. Singing is a subjective fine art, and what is "best" to one person is different to another. If all singers sounded alike, or "ideal", we would be in the age of digitized vocal production. God forbid!

The incarnadine sunset of a musical tradition; the love-song of late romanticism given a true and impassioned voice. I heard this music at the age of of 18 many years ago - and the thrill of its grace and loveliness does not fade; in this particular recording the memory is intensified, the sense of witnessing something beautiful and unique, made perfect.

Jessye Norman is THE Ariadne until the end of time: her understanding of German surpasses any other (of many) interpretations I have heard. Listen to the way she declares the name Theseus: she captures all the loss, disappointment, and tragedy of the role. Jump to the end of the opera if you want to know what ecstasy is.

Having seen this whole performance before let me say that I absolutely LOVE the duet between her and James King. Yes he is way past his prime, but he makes it work somehow anyway. And her voice (amazingly) becomes even more open and free after the Zerbinetta and troupe break. Plus it has the Dryad Trio.

Indeed, the trio that opens for Ariadne's big arias is one of the best parts of this opera AND this performance of it on DVD; of course look at the quality of the singers who make up the trio. Finally, Tatiana Troyanos tears up her role in the Prologue; and Ms. Battle: well she's her usual self -- mischievious and stunning.
