The making of the movie documentary is very interesting too - they sang the parts in a studio first, then lip-synched during the acting for the final performance.
Quelle voix... d'habitude je trouve les voix de basses trop relâchées avec un vibrato trop large... mais lui c'est une basse qui chante comme un ténor!! Quel bonheur
Apparently Varnay really disliked this production/portrayal of Clytemnestra. Maybe it's not her vision of the role, but it's still an amazing film and performance!
Mi sono innamorato della voce di Ghiaurov ascoltando proprio questa Messa: potente, uniforme, senza cedimenti e sbavature, perfetta. Uno dei più magnifici bassi della storia della musica
Interesting is that Varnay didn't like the interpretation Friedrich wanted. She felt Klytemnestra should have some vestiges of beauty. She said when she sang Elektra she was right. When she sang Klytemnestra she was right..She wrote the thing -about greek tragedy id that everyone.is right and eberyone is wrong.
WOOOOOW. That was Fabuluosly Increadible. What an honor to be with this great singers and musicians. Just WOW. Masters and Master piece. How blessed those who were their to hear and watch them.
Maravillosa interpretación, a mi parecer la mejor. Ahora, me parece interesante, dentro de esta hermosa versión dirigida por Harnoncourt en lo musical y por Ponelle en lo visual, la manera como éste último eligió colocar al personaje. Se supone que el aria está dirigida al personaje de Sifare. Sin embargo, Ponelle ha pedido a Kenny mirar hacia la cámara, como si el aria fuera cantada, en todo nivel y sentido, para nosotros los espectadores. ¿Alguien tiene idea de por qué? Buena noche.
Jessye wasn’t just a diva, she was a goddess amongst us mortals. I feel so lucky to have heard her live in Cleveland and New York. Rest in peace, Liebe Göttin. ❤❤❤
Breathtaking performance. The soloists of the highest quality assembled for this performance. Hard to imagine getting all these operatic superstars together and they sing so well together: no one grandstanding just perfect ensemble singing.
