Это великое искусство! Великое вокальное, и великое инструментальное! Баренбойм ломает местечковые барьеры! Браво, маэстро!

[@scancrata]

Waltraud Meier bravisima!!

[@kendn01]

Boy, you really see what a soprano is up against when you see a live performance of Liebestod - with a full orchestra wailing away. Great conducting, terrific singing.

[@manuelabielefeld6809]

Fantastic! That silence of the audience - because you just want to listen and dream and listen and dream without end.

[@MrMandelsohn]

Stunning. Culture at its highest.

Daniel Barenboim and Brigit Nilssen top two performers of Liebestod.

[@eileenazeff14]

I beg to differ Waltraud Meier is the most exquisite beautiful Isolde ever both in voice ae brings out beauty in liebrstod o didn't know existed and the us beautiful

[@jwh6185]

The chorus sits with disdain on their faces. Why? Any thoughts?

[@baldacchinogeorges3353]

Je trouve cette interpretation dtres indferire a celle de Jessie Norman

Was this an encore to Ludwig's 9th?

[@GermanGreetings]

Merlin and Faye Morgan...

[@benschroth7717]

Some wrong words.

[@florinnutas8986]

her voice doesn t sound clear. she can t get the high pitch. she struggles

[@Gotlev6]

How about singing with head voice and in tune? Can’t listen to this after Flagstadt and Nilsson. Bravo Maestro Barenboim as always.

[@eileenazeff14]

For me Waltraud Meiers voicevis much more exquisite and beautiful than Flagstad and Nilsson She lives the music she doesn't just stand there. Her voiceis inbelievablyvbeautiful and she is beautiful this applies to anything she sings🎉

[@LouiseHoppe]

😢ook dat brengt muziek. ga er bovenstaan.

[@pauljones724]

Sorry,but I have heard this orchestraal piece numerous times,I don't like when you add vocal to this piece. Its too beautiful without the singing. Sorry!!.this is my opinion the voice destroys the effectiveness of the work?? Absolutely not necessary!!!!!!!

[@eileenazeff14]

The voice is the music
