The Ed Sullivan Show was a television variety program that aired on CBS from 1948-1971. For 23 years it aired every Sunday night and played host to the world's greatest talents. The Ed Sullivan Show is well known for bringing rock n' roll music to the forefront of American culture through acts like Elvis Presley, The Beatles, and The Rolling Stones. The entertainers each week ranged from comedians like Joan Rivers and Rodney Dangerfield, to Broadway stars Julie Andrews and Richard Burton, to pop singers such as Bobby Darin and Petula Clark. It also frequently featured stars of Motown such as The Supremes, The Temptations, Stevie Wonder and The Jackson 5. The Ed Sullivan Show was one of the only places on American television where such a wide variety of popular culture was showcased and its legacy lives on to this day.

Haha, you think they have time with all the pressure by their labels?! There is no real opera singers anymore, no stars with charisma, everything is shouting, screaming and pretending.

3:40 that's how you do a pianissimo / 4:53 and that's how you do a fortissimo

Beautiful legato and high note like a laser beam. She was one dramatic sprano that actually had a beautiful voice as well as powerful!

Beautiful, clean, evocative performance! PPP Bb was more P, but, we can't expect everyone to be Caballe, or Scotto 😊 "Maledizione"'s --- Absofreakinglutely Excellent !!!

Зачем ставить в пример Кабалье или Скотто- ни та ни другая не были драматическим сопрано. У Биргит огромный драматический голос .

@@user-hv1ic5oj2c They are examples of beautifully sung ppp Bb in this particular aria. Birgit is amazing! ....but does not sing the Bb as written. That doesn't condemn her, it's just a statement of fact. 😎😎😎

A PPP in a dramatic voice is going to be anyone else’s p or even mp. I think that was pretty ppp for the size of her voice

A lean sound like that would probably never be welcomed today by the gatekeepers of opera houses and conservatories.

@AuroraRoz 9 күн бұрын

It’s interesting because for me it doesn’t sound lean at all (just a very connected, healthy and unique voice)…But I also don’t listen to singers these days, and after your comment I’m really not going to start either 😅😅

@@AuroraRoz should you hear the thick, heavy, often wobbly, often under pitch sound of so many of today's singers, you would know what I mean. Nilsson was powerful and yet still sounds like youth, and its fire of enthusiasm.

@AuroraRoz 5 күн бұрын

@@Twisterjoe I guess that happens when people are taught such awful techniques, try to imitate other singers without the actual understanding of the instrument, and being pressured and pushed by music directors and directors to create sounds that are not natural to them (or just take inadequate roles). There are other factors, obviously. But I do agree with you about Nilsson. I wish we could hear today more of the quality of that age- Zinka Milanov, Rosa Ponselle, Eileen Farrell, Renata Tevaldi, Callas, Helen Traubel, Gundula Janowitz, Tetrazzini, Claudia Muzio, Elisabeth Grummer and many many others…

@@Adam-Daniel2004 Are you trying to tell me you're fourteen years old? Why do you even bother to listen? Pace, pace, mio Dio means Peace, peace my God. Leonora has retired to a life of prayer. She prays to God for peace but confesses that her soul is still troubled by the memory of her love. Here are the lyrics in English. Peace, peace, my God! Cruel misfortune, alas, forces me to languish; my suffering has lasted for so many years, deep as on the first day. Peace, peace, my God! I loved him, it's true! But God adorned him so much with beauty and courage, that I love him still, nor will I be able to remove his image from my heart. Fate! Fate! Fate! A crime has separated us in this world! Alvaro, I love you, and it is written above in heaven: I will never see you again! O God, God, make me die; since only death can give me calm. In vain my soul hoped for peace here, while prey to such grief. Wretched bread . . . come prolong my comfortless life . . . But who is approaching? Who dares to profane the sacred place? A curse be upon them!

@Matti Heiskanen I'm not Rude As a matter of fact - I am educated, and have worked in, this field. What I said to you - if English is an issue - is that your post makes no sense. If you misrepresented what you meant, Please explain yourself. What she sang was Not staccato. Want to talk about it? Works for me. Mean (as you've been) is *Never* necessary 😎😎😎
