Most of the singers when sang this piece looks like if they are having a baby! Nilsson sang it with easy and serenity face; an emotional and passionate Brünnhilde

That's the most shocking part! ZERO tension. Amazing!

True. It is so unreal. If I just would be watching her without sound, it would look as she is singing a lullaby. She was in a league of her own, no doubt.

Absolute perfection! No pushing, wonderfully clear and beautiful tone, and you can hear every word of the text.

Her technique is amazing! No tension whatsover in her jaw or neck, the high notes are totally clean and unforced thanks to her breath support, amazing! Modern singers (Stemme notably) battle like crazy with this ending.

Someone asked her once: "What's the secret to the role of Isolde?" Her answer: "Comfortable shoes".

I still get chills every time I see Birgit's expression change during the passage starting at 1:29 - it is so haunting! I so wish that time travel was a thing!

What an amazing moment. Nilsson always shocks me tbh. I mean, there's ZERO tension throughout this piece. It's gorgeous!!!

OMG! What a video...Nilsson in her prime...Brunhilde's Immolation...Incredible clip! A thousand thanks! Low, mid-range and high notes all delivered with absolute perfection. A flawless technique combined with an amazing voice...a gift from the gods! Always my absolute favorite.

Simply perfect. It is very rare to be able to say that in relation to any interpretation, but here Nilsson achieved everything that this scene needs. It is beautiful not only to hear, but to see her singing. Voice, musicality, expression, all impeccably combined. I wish there were a complete video of this performance of Brünnhilde's immolation.

She did it in so many pieces. Her “quel grido!” From Turandot’s “In questa reggia” is legendary. Star at about :32 in the clip below: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/nt98gJeJqZ7Pfp8.htmlsi=12Vq-jdSaQ-K9ba5

Not only is she singing this with the ease of twinkle twinkle little star; but she’s doing so in an insanely tight girdle. Opera singers of the 40s, 50s, and 60s were Built Different!!

@tobiaspeter6555 6 ай бұрын

If you switched off the sound and just watched her singing, you would think she is singing an easy operetta song. There is no excessive tension, no mucking about - just pure and confident singing.

Who did two thumbs down? What ignorance.

@melbapatti 5 жыл бұрын

Karin M The two people who gave this thumbs down have a brain disease. This is PERFECT singing of brutally difficult music. She doesn’t waste a single bit of energy, so therefore 100% of her energy is focused into her singing mechanism (an involuntary, sub-conscious mechanism, btw, which seems to be doing all the right things for her!). This performance is magic. Worship at the shrine of this supreme singer and musician, then take your stupid, stupid thumbs down, roll them up into a nice little enema, and...well, you know the rest.

I am kind of surprised not to find the cultist Flagstad flappers who show up on every Nilsson video and tell us how much better their diva was and that La Nilsson was not that great.

@marksmith3947 Жыл бұрын

I think Flagstad's voice was more beautiful in some parts of her range, but I would choose Nilsson if forced to decide. she was a monster! No equal
