Divino

Best team ever!!! (And not to forget to mention the wonderful Jean Cox as Siegfried!)

Franz Mazura - the best Alberich ever!! Thanks you for uploading this precious document!

Some problems with intonation!

How did you find this recording? I heard Talvela refused to sing Hagen and later only reluctantly did a very few performances...this is a grwat document of this great bass.

Aage Haugland! My greatgreatgreatgrand cousin as I use to call him as we were distant relatives through my Danish Mothers lineage. Heard him several times. Especially memorable a formidable Ochs, a menacing Hunding and in a concertante Boris Godunov where he sang all three major bass parts in the same performance under Dimitri Kitajenko. A Larger than Life person!

Impressive!!! Thanks so much for posting!!!

He had such a lovely voice ... thanks for these ... I enjoy him so much in lieder that I rarely listen to him in opera! Addendum: he also is wonderful singing his native hymnody with an organ ... if you have not experienced that, I recommend it!

I am 90 I still get goose bumps! Lovely,Actually I think A major is the RIGHT key. No Liszt arr-so I will have to modify it for piano. Grechen Spinning wheel is another to play in the Liszt arr-that is a busy piece to play-no brain fog with me!

MARVELOUS DIVINE🙏😇🕊️🎶

I only have time for an AI translation, but looks correct enough to me: Finnish: Tunturille mennä tahdon, sinne mieli halaa, siellä tuuli tuivertaapi, päivän lieska palaa. Tunturille mennä täytyy sinne vetää veri. Siellä soivat taaton virret, poika jotka peri. Tunturille mennä tahdon, tahdon korkealle. Sieltä katson niinkuin kotka kauas maailmalle. English: I want to go to the fell, my heart yearns for it, there the wind whispers, the sun's glow flickers. I must go to the fell, it draws my blood. There resound the songs of my father, songs I have inherited. I want to go to the fell, I want to go high up. From there I will look out as the eagle does, far into the world.

This piece is really too high for a bass. A dramatic baritone like Schorr, Tibbett, Bockelmann, or the younger Hotter is preferable. (Chaliapin was actually a dramatic baritone rather than a bass.) Yet Greindl brings it off very convincingly, both vocally and dramatically.

the first piece is "Predislovie" ("Preface to the complete collection of my works and brief reflections on this preface")

Wunderbar gesungen, die beste Version die ich kenne.

Has Mazura ever played Wotan in Die Walkure? If so where can i find it?

Losing Talvela at such a young age was tragic. I'm still not over the shock. He was my favorite singer. He was unique. The greatest.

Absolutley beautiful rendition George London gives here, beautiful singing indeed!

Time stamps for the songs 0:00 - lullaby 5:00 - serenade 9:15 - trepak 14:05 - field marshal 19:05 - song of the flea

she did two of them in 1970.

evryone encountering Mazura could hear that Hans Hotter and Franz Mazura had no equals in post-war wotan-walhall ( only record prducers where deaf)

This was performed in Rome on 7 January 1970.

Thank you for sharing this amazing performance! Do you know who is the pianist?

Also if you compare- or rather just listen- to Wunderlich and London you notice the tremendous difference in interpretation of two marvelous renditions...

The horns are great on this. Just an absolutely filthy sound

is this mazuras wotan under george sebastian from brussels in the 70s ? heard that half a century ago on radio....

Pilar Lorengar ♥️!

The truth is that the plot has little to do with the novel. The screenwriter took a lot of liberties with the original. There are characters missing, events totally changed, and to me, the biggest mistake of all was revealing the identity of the villain mastermind fifteen or twenty minutes into the film. If one is looking for a good adaptation of the novel, this is the wrong place. But, if one is looking for a fairly good adventure movie of smugglers, yes, they will not be disappointed. Hitchcock didn't want to make it in the first place because he felt that costume dramas were not his cup of tea, but he was obliged to do it for contractual reasons. So, he didn't put his soul in it, and actually, it doesn't look like a Hitchcock film at all. Nevertheless, there are some beautiful shots of the inn that look very Expressionistic, with no sound, only the images like a silent movie. Charles Laughton totally overacts here, but his character is fun. Maureen O'Hara and Bobby Newton are also there. Yes, it is a decent adventure romp as long as you are not comparing it to the original novel.

What about as Poppagena?

a god

Es Pilar Lorengar, la mejor Pamina. Dulce, intensa y luminosa.

the trombone sucks.

Maestro London was always my favorite singer of any Fach in the world....earthshaking gravitas and endless beauty and mystery in that magisterium of a voice. Incomparable, sublime!

Splendissimo!

Great! I will pass this recording on to my musical friends.

Thanks for letting me know about this upload- don't think I ever got around to watching this one, so another Hitchcock is off the list now!

Who was the conductor?

Also Glaubwurdig ! Ich verstehe diese Oper besser . ⭐️

Great Hagen.

what a treat to see Lucia as the the 1.boy in salzburg all those years ago...Thank you!

Zu langsam, tolle Stimme, wenngleich hier nicht in Hochform, und für Lied zu träge, was aber dem eher zähen Tempo geschuldet sein kann. Man höre sich die Version mit Fischer Dieskau an, und auch mit Thomas Quasthoff.

not Lucia Popp, Pamina is Pilar Lorengar, Popp is one of the boys

Stonata lei.

Bravooooooo* utube smile by john bavas

Old but gold.

A future königin as the first boy?! That might be a first.

You can’t tell how singers sound just from a recording, so don’t judge.

I didn’t know he ever played Hagen???

Great voice, but is anyone else bothered by the rather mushy Latin diction? Maybe I'm hypercritical after having worked with maybe a half dozen or more basses and conductors, performing this piece, and diction is something I think is important. I've noticed the same issue with some other Finns, for example Martti Talvela singing "Ella giammai m'amo." Magnificent sound, but don't depend on being able to understand all the text.

There is nothing for it, even with good singers, I don't appreciate the three boys sung by women. A part of the charm disappears. Lucia Popp is sublime.

Danke für diese wunderbare Aufnahme
