No, she way always touchable. here for example are some places where she is very stonata because of technically not appropriate singing.

My husband was in the front row of the tenors!

[@CharlesHeuston-z5g]

Unforgettable . There will never be a cast like it. There were two performances and even after the maestro put down his baton there was a magical silence amongst the audience , many in tears

[@DorotaPulik]

Today is the 10th death anniversary of great Maestro Claudio Abbado. R.I.P.🕯🎶🥀

[@enriquesanchez2001]

OH MY - how the time flies.... I remember his last performances, especially of Mahler's 9th Symphony, we were fortunate to have him among us. ♥

[@luisloya1120]

May he rest in peace. 🙏🙏🙏

[@franzitaduz]

Oh, the glory days where real seasoned singers and conductors handled the repertoire. Thankful for video.

[@paullewis2413]

Absolutely. However let’s don’t diminish the real talent that’s out there, they are the ones who aren’t hyped up to be something that they clearly are not. Won’t mention any names but they’re obvious to anyone who knows what excellence in performance is all about. 😊

[@rogeretiennedelacruz3000]

Jessye Norman singing the mezzo! Power!

[@marjorieblaikie7]

I was in the audience and my friend in the chorus. Fabulous!!!

[@SUEBROWN1945]

A stellar quartet of singers and Abbado and the Edinburgh Festival chorus too! It’s magnificent . 51:08

[@rodcoates7027]

Lucky you

[@lurapoza7645]

Margaret Price😍😍😍😍

Every time there was something new in the wonderful Verdi Requiem conducted by Claudio Abbado. This great conductor found out the best from every singer, every musician, no matter how good they were. These soloists and all members of the choir and orchestra were exceptional. Unforgettable.

[@juangarzon1247]

Norman , what a voice …. She feels what she is singing …. How powerful , magnificent singing …… bravissima

[@davidmolina7543]

Her voice reminds me of the Mexican contralto Oralia Dominguez.

[@mariateresacerutti3855]

A GODDES❤

[@tanyadixon3479]

The blend is out of this world. These four voices are a gift from God to all mankind! The orchestra was WOW! The choir was masterfully conducted. One of the best version of the Verdi Requiem I've ever heard... and I've sang it many, many times with a superlative auditioned choir, (Symphony Chorus) conductor, and orchestra. This is a feat of excellence.

[@stephenstewart3774]

Similar situation here Tanya. Had the honor of performing at Kennedy Center. This is by far the best recording I've every heard as well!

[@tanyadixon3479]

@@stephenstewart3774 Right? You understand what I mean.

[@celesteaida48]

One of the best performances of anything anywhere! Maestro Abbado and all simply magnificent. Mrs Norman simply magnificent! Her voice and interpretation, stellar. Her power almost covered the orchestra! Stunning performance! Goosebumps and tears.

[@visteklBond]

Грандиозно, торжественно и великолепно!

[@enriquesanchez2001]

Jessye's powerful LOW D in her first aria, Liber scriptus,... gave me shivers!

[@davey9862]

My goodness, what a quartet! I don't think I've heard a more beautiful reading of the Offertory. No singer trying to out sing the other. I've never been a huge fan of Carreras but he's perfect here, like a young man praying to God in desperation. Price is golden, silky and utterly effortless while Norman's outrageously brilliant instrument allows her to sing the higher register like a lyric soprano whilst still having a smoky contralto that could shake the earth at her disposal. Raimondi is his usual humble and musical self. Able to support with such ease and oozing out of the texture at opportune moments. This is truly glorious. All while the sound of the whole ensemble bounces off the gilded walls of the Usher Hall. I doubt there will be another Requiem like this for some time, if ever. It is so sad these two goddesses are no longer with us. I still find my self looking for recordings of Jessye that I've not yet heard. As for Abbado, a genius. I had the pleasure of working with him before his death and I'll never forget it.

[@donnacatliota467]

[@Fanfanbalibar]

Don't forget that in1982 Carreras was about to leave for Seattle and be treated for his leukemia ! It certainly wasn't at his best !

[@janemazzola4454]

This is a breathtaking, glorious performance! Kudos to the guest soloists, orchestra, choir, & that amazing conductor... How FORTUNATE I am to listen & watch this many times on KZbin here in the USA in 2023, while it was performed in the UK, in l982. Thank you to all!

[@DennisCaffey]

From my perspective this has to be one of the greatest performances of the one of the greatest pieces of music ever written. The soloists are simply magnificent, the chorus can scare the living hell out of you, the orchestra is spectacular and Claudio Abbado handles the whole affair just beautifully. Take an hour and forty minutes of your life to listen and absorb as much of this music as possible. Do it more than once. You won't regret it.

[@maj-lenaskagerlund3118]

This has been a love for me since I was Four Years Old! Except for "Sanctus" - a ridiculous contrasting part! I've cried rivers over the aria "Libera me"❗❗❗

Jesse Norman, with her big, voluptuous, golden bronze voice, just punches you in the gut. Brava!

[@angelparsifal]

Price is living the final words "Libera me domine" as if she HERSELF was asking God for mercy. OUTSTANDING.

[@davidstetson3805]

Norman is truly outstanding soprano. No annoying "scoops" into the pitches... she pegs each note. Great feeling and a beautifully controlled voice, at all dynamics. Wow.

[@smurf902]

Should I go to Fleming for 3 or 4 scoops or Baskin Robbins or CARVEL?

[@vietrus7815]

True that

[@bonettol]

What a great performance. The death of Abbado leave us without a great conductor

[@hrh4961]

What a stupid thing to say.

[@dbroc89]

Jessye Norman wow 🤩

[@dpaulrich]

Sometimes I forget that Ms Norman was a world class mezzo first. I think she brilliantly navigated the development of her voice perfectly. ❤

[@orion8835]

She was never booked as a mezzo as such. She did a few things an Idamante in Idomeneo for a recording for instance . She was a falcon soprano really.

[@Bigpoppadonut]

Jesse Norman is a miracle! She makes me whole every time I hear her.

[@happygucci5094]

I have listened to her sing Leibestrod by Wagner and Mahler’s Misterioso from Symphony No. 3 “O Mensch! Gib Ach!” On repeat for the last two days- I can’t get over it. Her phrasing the lushness of her voice her interpretation- divine. Oh and her Delilah is sublime as is her Carmen and her Dido???? Sends me. What a gift

[@newhotmailit]

what a wonderful Libera Me, impressive low notes for a such light and lyric soprano. Price🙏

[@vitabella6481]

Margaret Price was NOT a light Soprano!!! She sang Aida, Amelia, she was a big voice, aat least full liric. But because her vouce was so clear and her singing so clean you could think she was a light voice.

[@hrh4961]

A "light and lyric soprano" who sang Isolde.

[@roybell9318]

For me It simply doesn't get better than this. Absolutely electrifying, committed and heartfelt live musicmaking. I remember watching the original broadcast in my early teens. I have friends in the choir and audience. Some no longer with us which makes rewatching all the more poignant. It has and will stay with me forever

[@tristanberger8500]

beautiful Margret Price ! Tasteful singing by a radiant voice . This is how it should be.

[@smurf902]

I see the difference now from R.F. and how different the sound is. It's funny how she was criticized for being so extra in this piece and someone like Price who has such a bigger instrument is so simple here. It's style

[@tristanberger8500]
