By: EmilyGreene1984. on 17 Nov 08, 12:28:17 If its the later, then they hide two little packets of false blood under her wig and then she presses a button hidden in her coat that is connected to a wire that runs up the back of her neck and scalp to the packets under the wig and then it pierces the packets and the blood runs. Are you speaking of ... By: EmilyGreene1984. on 17 Nov 08, 12:27:41 Are you speaking of the character or how they actually got the fake blood to run down her face in this production? If its the former, given the character is supposed to die suddenly and that in this production blood is running down her head (its not in the original script), its possible that the character Isolde had a hemangioma. She is "Isolde"... By: hulysse2000. on 07 Nov 08, 13:12:32 She is "Isolde"... Amazing. After 30 ... By: Chrysothemis. on 04 Nov 08, 01:46:19 Amazing.

By: Timbris83. on 08 Aug 08, 23:06:57 That was so beautifully directed, I was so annoyed as I was in Milan when this was on but I couldn't get a cancellation. But I know that had I seen it I would have been in floods of tears at the end, so beautiful. I also agree that it is good to see Isolde die for a change (macabre as it sounds), it almost gives an emotional release from the dramatic tension that by the end of the liebestot has been stretched to breaking point. The release of tension is at once uplifting and devastating. There are times in ... By: Iareto. on 08 Aug 08, 04:06:10 There are times in this video where she looks like Joan Sutherland. If only she sang it at that level. She's good, but I just came from a video of Jessye Norman singing it and this underwhelms me a bit as a result. Waltraud Meier, one ... By: robertcarito. on 03 Aug 08, 03:51:34 Waltraud Meier, one of the great Wagnerian mezzo sopranos, sings and acts with precision in what I see as the perfect Liebestod performance. I have never seen it acted better, and I have longed to see Isolde actually die at the end, instead of standing there, just gawking forward like so many other performances. Meier has it here, her high register is perfect, and her acting seals the deal...Her final moments are heartbreaking and beautiful. She IS our generation's Isolde. dramatic sopran!!!! ...

Entre la Callas y ella y alguna otra, qué más da darle el título de "la mejor"!! Cada una tiene su toque, su valor, su particular cualidad que nos encanta. Brillan en lo alto todas. Los expertos se preocupan por la perfección en la técnica, en la voz... pero el público percibe siempre algo más... I too am a complete ... By: filippovonreutter. on 02 Jan 09, 03:28:56 I too am a complete Callas die hard. She stands (as Norma) on my desktop as screen saver, but in fairness to Caballe' e vowel clarity can lie in the ear of the listener. Toscanini often complained over the muddiness of Maria's vowels, but maybe he was just a bit deaf by then. And what is to said of Sutheland!!!!? Incomprehensible in all languages. Sobervia actuacion ... By: Orozcomen. on 31 Dec 08, 04:23:42 Sobervia actuacion niveles de exelencia hasta ahora inalcanzables por las demas sopranos,ella simplemente es unica,su tecnica es asombrosa y no da lugar a compararla con las demas sopranos,la mas grande soprano del siglo pasado pese a quien pese,sin duda las ''demas '' sopranos estan en desventaja a lado de ella.Viva Caballe !!!!!! Monserrat Caballé ... By: Emiotube. on 30 Dec 08, 19:19:21 Monserrat Caballé es sin dudas la mejor soprano viva del mundo,su voz es un milagro, su experiencia y su vasta sabiduría en el arte del canto deben inspirarnos a aquellos que recién comenzamos a transitar este camino. De todos modos creo que María Callas da toda la impresion llevar el arte más allá de las fronteras del sonido y ésa es, en mi muy humilde entender, la diferencia entre éstos dos genios del arte; amén del tecnicismo:una es lírica y la otra dramática.

I have searched for a better performance but I cannot find one. There is just so much smooth sultry sound coming from her. She is a goddess. What a silly thing ... By: shebird1. on 21 Dec 08, 21:17:29 What a silly thing to say. Of course she's making an effort. She's just focussing more on the purity of the sound. I find some singers, like Callas, emphasize quite a bit, but I don't think that makes the performances necessarily better or worse. Creo que esta ... By: marianicewind. on 19 Dec 08, 17:41:53 Creo que esta interpretacion de la señora Montserrat Caballé será recordada y con razon, incluso por ella misma, que si no me falla la memoria fué su consagración( palabras de la artista ).Para mi.. inigualable. Why doesn't she ... By: Matt54e. on 17 Dec 08, 00:14:52 Why doesn't she make any effort to pronounce the words? One of the greatest ... By: KTeKanawa. on 15 Dec 08, 23:40:03 One of the greatest voices for sure! She floats it effortlessly. Maybe I'm just a Callas die hard, but I love vowels to be very clean and crisp- I believe this can be acheived in balance and even conjuction with a rich tone. I appears to me that Caballe sometime compromises her vowels creating a slight "hoot" quality in some of her vowels. This is the recording that has the least of this quality I speak of. Anyone wish to comment on this? beatiful. thanks By: klodpeqinsi. on 09 Dec 08, 14:50:55 beatiful. thanks I love Cabelle and ... By: ahmad123987. on 04 Dec 08, 01:47:29 I love Cabelle and Sutherland most of all bust have better voices then evn Callars who may be better over all with preformence and stadge presence and stuff but personnaly the voice is the only thing that matter for me espectacular o hay ... By: Orozcomen. on 01 Dec 08, 19:35:07 espectacular o hay punto de comparacion entre ella y la Callas ni con las demas sopranos,ella simplemente no canta como ellas o mas bien ellas ''las demas'' no canta ni nunca cantara alguien como ella,me gusta Callas pero Montserrat es fenomenal y mas con esta aria.

By: oliverperera26. on 29 Nov 08, 15:07:38 Quizás es la interpretación mas perfecta de toda la historia de la ópera. Nada que envidiar a la Callas que si bien es verdad que le gustó siempre el "famoseo" y la farándula, Caballé lo que ha hecho es cantar perfectamente y preservar su vida privada, quizás por ello no todos la han visto como la cantante más completa del último siglo. O nadie recuerda lo de: Callas y Tebaldi = Caballé. VIVA LA VOZ !!!! I do believe that ... By: hunspikey. on 28 Nov 08, 23:02:48 I do believe that this particular performance is the best of all performances in any opears I have ever heard. Simply because it is stunning. Its almost divine.

When she hits those high notes it sends a shiver down my back. I have listened to several of her videos on this site and felt the same reaction every time. She has such control one doesn't even see her take a breath, as with some supranos - AND she is absolutely beautiful (and I'm a woman saying that).

By: pippofan. on 01 Apr 08, 20:40:47 Pippo was not fond of this role, he considered Pinkerton a shallow self serving person, so he deliberately shaded his voice to fit the character by removing the warmth he normally sang with. That said, this is a wonderful performance early in both their careers. This was both their debuts in San Francisco and the audience loves their performance - this is what Grand Opera is all about, performances like this will never be again.

By: pearlmuth3. on 09 Oct 08, 20:28:53 records are one thing and I heard him in 1958 in house the duke and it was not as large a sound as on records but beautiful, truth be told you can not make a Spinto out of a lyric Spinto or a dramatic out of a spinto and Corelli was a Spinto not a dramatic as his fans insist-- no way. He was the best live Calaf ever but on record JB is the best, better tech then Corelli ever had and a better singer but hard to compare a lyric to a spinto-- apples and oranges but tech. you can compare. He would have NEVER ... By: pearlmuth3. on 09 Oct 08, 20:22:37 He would have NEVER sung it not true -read page 317 of the Andrew farkus book JUSSI about Turandot he was not stupid and he tells you --quote dick mohr "Jussi was not really a large voice If you heard him at the old met you'd be slightly disappointed You'd think "where is this huge voice? But it carried and he had marverlous projection he was a lyrico spinto" JB was not foolish enough to do it Nilsson of course was the best Turandot and on the recording JB is the best Calaf, live Corelli is. I heard from ... By: luvbucket. on 09 Oct 08, 16:36:38 I heard from someone that was in the production that he was slated to do Calaf at the Met in 60 or 61 with Birgit, basically recreating the cast on the fab recording, but unfortunately he passed on, and a young tenor named Franco "Something" filled in. Which in itself, was a miraculous production. Corelli and Nilsson tore it up on Turandot! Still would've loved to have heard Jussi sing it live, cuz his voice could cut through pretty much any orchestra without his having to push. El tenor con la voz ...

He never pushed singing roles he should not, No never sang Turandot on stage with his basic lyric voice and never pushed it singing Forza, Carmen or Boccenegra, roles he felt to dramatic for his voice and at the end the voice was still very fine at 49 years old when he died of heart disease. You know Tauber and ... By: pearlmuth3. on 16 Sep 08, 18:38:27 You know Tauber and Kraus and Peerce had fine tech. also besides Jussi, remember Tauber was a great Mozart singer I am not talking voice now but tech. and style and kraus was as flawless as jussi and had very good diction, so did mc cormack, listen to his Il Mio Tesoro the best in that aria ever, Jussi is great but for technique others where also and in Italian Tucker and some other non Italians where fantastic. Gedda a fine singer perhaps not as beautiful as Jussi but a great artist. Well he had a great ... By: pearlmuth3. on 16 Sep 08, 18:27:51 Well he had a great low and middle, Tucker also had a fine Low and middle and Peerce for Low notes in his prime was baritonal, very good but Tucker was a pure spinto and Jussi a lyric spinto who could sing lyric or Spinto roles but not some of the ones tucker did on stage, forza and Calaf. Pavoratti did not have jussi's low notes and I like Jussi on top more then Pav but you cannot compare Jussi to a Spinto but can to Pav a lyric or Bergonzi.

But overall his splendid tecnique enabled him to sing virtually everything! Italian, French, German, Swedish, Danish, Norweigian, english and many more languages. I know liking of a voice is a very personal thing. My mother still doesn´t like Jussi Bjorling much - Despite massive efforsts from my side to convince her...

By: Strollingplayer. on 16 Jul 08, 02:57:43 I've been in love with Bjorling's voice for over 30 years, and I don't say "in love" lightly. He is...the emperor's nightingale! His recording partnership with conductor Nils Grevillius must be considered one of the most significant treasures of the 20th century. What joy awaits those who discover it in years to come! Thank you Jussi, and thank you Nils, from the bottom of my heart.

By: eustazio. on 24 Oct 08, 12:50:24 yeah 5 percent which gives the right to a moron to assume I, who have 95% chance not to be american, would celebrate the mass murdering of native americans. As for "weeping" did you really read my comment ? For the last time as stupidity bores me : you can NOT cry and sing at the same time (you are clearly not a singer). Philipe did NOT look amused.

His interpretation is more than honest and i would like to see you show your weeping face while you sing. If you knew anything about singing you would know you cannot sing and cry at the same time. You have to convey an emotion without allowing yourself self pity and sound degradation. Think (or learn) before you comment. ...and the Angels ...

His tremendous stamina allowed him to sing long roles without any damage to his voice. Note how he "places" his high notes by starting with a small round position and then opening his mouth to build the tone.

Well, where is the ... By: DChatc. on 08 Nov 08, 06:06:23 Well, where is the NEED for the divorce? Obvioussly it's because people in my generation lack the mental capacity to make large-scale projections, even in matters as weighty as romantic relationships (of course romance itself is a disgusting lie that encourages this sort of near-sightedness, either way, nobody is caring about what sort of conditions the next generation is to be reared in, they're just playing). I cannot think of ... By: DChatc. on 08 Nov 08, 05:58:59 I cannot think of any but I do know that it is there. Basically I am talking about usage of such and the corolation in brain density (I am sure you have heard of this before). Again, it is about frequency: We live in a world were the young simply waste their time with junk-imput. You got to imagine that when certain areas of the brain are not being used as much as others that those parts of the brain will be relatively light. Our environment appeals to the brainstem through the temps. Well yes that is ... By: DChatc. on 08 Nov 08, 05:47:44 Well yes that is VERY important (basically it comes under the title "post-modernism" where there is recognized NO objective truth or morality and entitlement trumps obligation regardless of the social consequences). I would not say that Socialism is bad as even you stated that it is the entertainment INDUSTRY which panders to destructive attitudes for profits (the problems seems to involve big bureaucracy, over-centralization and the definition of "wealth", for example, fiat corrupts socialism) I should think that ... By: QFabiusMaximus. on 08 Nov 08, 03:33:22 I should think that rising divorce rates in the western world have more to do with the increasing acceptability of divorce and the devaluation of marriage as an institution, rather than degenerating mental faculties.

No, but you can at ... By: DChatc. on 07 Nov 08, 02:42:01 No, but you can at least try to plan-ahead and train for future scenarios. We do not get such forethought today, however, we simply have people mostly living for the moment ALL the time and thinking mostly of immediate goals, and that is why so many will now be caught in the current economic situation: The younger generation doesn't think much in the future, they are stuck with imminent desire, as evinced in the shocking spousal turnover. The ability to plan ahead is too precious... The problem is ... By: DChatc. on 07 Nov 08, 02:37:25 The problem is people are doing it TOO MUCH, and it is leading to the atrophy of the frontal lobes (people listen to hip hop and other such all the time, yes it is probably good when you want to get excited, but you need to think as well, something which requires discipline, and because of such most people do not bother with mental exercises, the result is what we see today: Mass ignorence and sophystry)... could you then ...
