Christa Ludwig & James King - "O namenlose Freude" - Fidelio Tokyo 1963 

Admirable !!

I was fortunate, very fortunate to have watched Christa Ludwig as "Leonore" at the Munich State Opera House in 60s when it was re-opened after the bombing during WW II. In my books - the best "Leonore" ever.

Christa Ludwig, die beste Leonore, die es je gab.

I love this music and these artists so much!!!

Great!!!!...a master class!!!!...BRAVOOO!!!

Well-sung and well-played and well-conducted!!!! Kudos all around for the excerpt. And thank YOU very much for sharing this with us!!!!!

Excellent, one of the best Florestans ever (vocally, my favorite) and Ludwig was an excellent Leonore. Does any one have info on obtaining this whole video?? :-)
