Benedikt Povel Very unique is like saying very magnificent, very excellent. Unique stands alone, as the word suggests, but also as a superlative. Adding very gilds the lily.

The greatest Brunnhilde to ever sing the role. And the greatest Isolde. And Elektra. and Salome. And Turandot. And many other roles. The brilliant, the magnificent, the legendary Birgit Nilsson.

So good to hear this. From an age when singers had stamina and technical strength to sing all over the world and could perform in many productions and opera houses. Such a rich and joyous performance culture.

Heard Birgit in Gotterdammerung and Tristan and also in concert. Effortless power and brilliance of tone. But I think her exuberant personalty really comes through in conversation. A God gifted artist.

She did to the dramatic soprano what Sutherland did to coloraturas. There have never been voices like theirs in those 'fachs" before them or after! I heard both live-Thank God-and the size of the voices alone was overwhelming! CM Indianapolis Opera-33 seasons!

Flagstad was great, and absolutely amazing; however, you can't tell me that Flagstad has the same attention and same influence that Nilsson has had on Dramatic Soprano repertoire. If you do think that Flagstad had such an influence, you are surely lying to yourself. Flagstad was absolutely amazing at everything she did, but she didn't have the same influence as Nilsson. Not saying that Nilsson was better than she, because she wasn't, I'm just pointing out that Nilsson has had a much greater influence over today's dramatic sopranos than Flagstad ever had.

Peanut LaBelle I took exception to the comment that there have never existed voices like theirs before or after. There was Flagstad before and after. No problem w the point you make, altho' am not sure Nilsson would even have " made it" w/o there having been a Flagstad before her. BTW, I adore them both.

John Schmid I heard them both as well & was absolutely thrilled.
@PeanutLaBelle7 жыл бұрын
She probably would have still made it without Flagstad being present because of all the popularizing she did in the Dramatic/Wagner repertoire. They both were absolutely amazing singers and I love them both, really.

at around 37:00 she says what many of us singers and teachers are saying: if the singer has a lyric voice (as opposed to a dramatic voice), it is the conductor's duty to keep the orchestra down! So often singers are drowned by the wall of noise rising from a huge orchestra in front of the singer in the opera house! And she was saying this in 1986!!! Unfortunately, her words fell on deaf ears. There are few conductors today who are willing to adapt their orchestra to the volume of the voice on stage, forcing singers literally to scream, and of course ruining their voices in the process! Shame on you conductors! Learn something about vocal technique and learn some humility!!!!

Alexander Brown but i think lyric and spinto voices must not sing the heavy dramatic repertoire like Caballe and Scotto did and destroyed there voices.
@Khalid7a9 жыл бұрын
***** "I can't think of any roles Caballe sang that were too big for her" ?? most of her repertoire is too big for her, she sang Turandot which totally destroyed her voice, Roberto Devereux, Salome, Anna Bolena, Tristan und Isolde, she even dared to sing Medea which was a huge fail specially in the last act she could barely sing a word and many more. what about Scotto i true she had a wonderful years, but her vocal decline came after La Callas craziness where everyone wanted to be an assoluta by singing a bigger heavier repertoire and totally destroying there voices.

Alexander Brown I love hearing the exultant ring of her head register. Like Eva Turner, Frida Lieder, & Flagstad, Birgit always floated her voice & allowed the head register to ring like a bell, rather than thicken the top voice artificially by adding chest register, or driving the voice with athleticism. Exactly the same applies to the tenor voice. When it is floated correctly, even in an essentially lyric timbred voice like Lauri-Volpi's, the top voice can be tremendously metallic & possess a pealing resonance. I always remember my teacher telling me that whether you possess a lyric or a dramatic voice, it must always be supported in a gentle lyrical fashion, & never forced for volume at the bottom, middle or top. Lauritz Melchior employed virtually the same head voice dominated technique as Bjorling, which is why it lasted 50 years.

If you write the title of the video in English even though everything is spoken in German as a German TV production then you should also add English subtitles! Wenn man den Titel zum Video in Englisch schreibt obwohl alles in Deutsch gesprochen wird da eine Deutsche TV Produktion dann sollte man auch Englische Untertitel hinzufügen !

She looks a lot like Dot-Marie Jones here (American actress, Google her). Considering the physicality of a voice, that the body is really the instrument and source to the resonance. If Dot-Marie Jones, who is 1.90 cm, would sing opera, she would have a gigantic voice.
