Elisabeth Schwarzkopf descends from heaven to sing a trill (with Hopf and Karajan)
Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg (1868)
Music-drama in III acts with music and libretto by Richard Wagner
Above is an excerpt from the third act's fifth scene, starting in Walther's prize song: “Morgenlich leuchtend im rosigen Schein” (Shining in the rosy light of morning) up until Eva's phrase: “Keiner wie du so hold zu werben weiss!” (No one can woo as graciously as you!). Walther is sung by Hans Hopf, Eva by Elisabeth Schwarzkopf and Hans Sachs by Otto Edelmann. The performance was recorded between the 27th of July and the 24th of August, 1951 at the Festspielhaus of Bayreuth, Germany. Conducting was Herbert von Karajan with the Chor und Orchester der Bayreuther Festspiele.
Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia describes the big scene before the above excerpt and the excerpt itself as such:
“...The prize contest begins. Beckmesser attempts to sing the verses that he had obtained from Sachs. However, he garbles the words (Morgen ich leuchte) and fails to fit them to an appropriate melody, and ends up singing so clumsily that the crowd laughs him off. Before storming off in anger, he yells that the song was not even his: Hans Sachs tricked him into singing it. The crowd is confused. How could the great Hans Sachs have written such a bad song? Sachs tells them that the song is not his own, and also that it is in fact a beautiful song which the masters will love when they hear it sung correctly. To prove this, he calls a witness: Walther. The people are so curious about the song (correctly worded as The prize contest begins. Beckmesser attempts to sing the verses that he had obtained from Sachs.

Wie hat sie diese unausgesetzten Blödheiten nur ausgehalten?
Again more lies she was addicted to drugs
There are no words that can adaquitely describe my love for the perfection of Caballe's voice. When she sings she transforms the aria with he unbelievable ability to to create fluctuations of tone, volume, and almost inaudible heartbreaking pianissimo. Her technical skills are excellant, and create interest within the notes themselves. Her way of approaching an aria was always filled with vocal expression making it unique as though you had never heard it sung before. Yet she had vocal power that was like a Tsunami. The last duet of Andrea Chaniere that she sang with Pavarotti was incredibly powerful, each giving their all, but as equals. The volume was literally stupendous but never harsh or shrill or desperate. Corelli was known for trying to outdo those that he sang with, and most were aware that he might do something to top them. This B5 made the Earths tectonic plates move, and Corelli could not do anything to top her. Brava!!
This is glorious. Just recall that Callas held her high e flat in Aida for 18 seconds. Unimaginable.
un vero uccellino,fenomenalek
One of the great loves of my life. Love this photo of "Bernie"'s reaction.
She out-divaed them all !
Definitely autotune
Unerreicht !!!!
The wonderful voice of “the friar” at 0.33 belongs to Paul Plishka. What on earth is Bernstein’s photo doing here? He had zero to do with this Met performance!
The interviewer was an idiot
Tuvo una voz " orecchiabile " hermoso timbre. Además su belleza ayudó mucho !!!!!
She had such power and control. I understand her miracle daughter has similar skill. Perhaps she may usurp her mothers diva crown just yet. I love when her pianissimo sounds like a tiny shockwave fluttering in the air. To see her performance in the windstorm she seemed immortal.
This masterclass is hoe I learned this aria.
Don Carlo per favore🎉
unreal.. those top notes.. never heard anything like that
Acuto sforgato at its best!
I agree 100% Such voice control! She breezes through these high notes! BRAVA Ingeborg🎉❤❤
Stop breaking into my homes to spray your crap like a jealous territorial twat.

I totally agree. One of the greatest of all time. Transports you into another world. Huge pity that this recording is relatively little known.
In the picture there’s Bernstein. It’s another concert with Salome
very elegant voice and manner
Ну наконец- то❤❤❤❤. Необыкновенная ритмическая четкость оркестра, вы только послушайте !
If he sang like this in front of me, I would have crossed him to Hades and back a thousand times. It's not hard to imagine how both Charon and Cerberus were lured by this Orpheus...
Hard to believe that she sang this opera the very first time in the same week that she sang Wagner's Brünnhilde in Die Walküre!

I had the pleasure of singing with the late Ms Nadler many years after this wonderful class. She was a lot of fun to work with and it was undoubtedly a "voice and a half", a very powerful and fairly flexible mezzo. But she was never really at home on the top of her range and Eboli is notoriously tricky because it was actually composed by Verdi for one mezzo (Rosine Bloch) and then when plans changed, finished off with a very different singer, Pauline Gueymard-Lauters, in mind. That explains the divergent characters and tessiture of the the "Veil song", clearly for a lighter, more flexible voice (Bloch) and "O Don Fatale" for a far more powerful and dramatic instrument (Gueymard). Not that Sheila would have ever done the role on stage-- the voice was just too short on top and she always billed herself as a contralto. But isn't Ms Callas amazing! Even with the remains of her voice, and close to the end of her career/life, she could summon up the many facets of Eboli's mercurial character.
Meraviglia!
... Well, ...She certainly told him ! 😀
¡Que gran artista! Creo que no se le ha prodigado aún el reconocimiento debido a María Ewing. Sólo piensen en: Cherubino, Carmen, Dido, Salomé, Donna Elvira y Rosina.....de excepción, de referencia, con magia vocal y actoral..... roles tan dispares y tan bien realizados. Aquí, en Dido te hace olvidar de todo, es de una entrega y sensibilidad estilistica además, que lo vives!❤
Está música es perfecta.Maria y Bellini, genios.
Excelente ❤
"It's not my aria." Every aria is her aria.
Unbelievable!!
É trade market sua voz.
She just pierces the heart!!!
Quick word of an advice: you need to get some earmuffs when he's going for the longest note.
As charming as this clip is, I feel it also gives insight to the basis of her technique which was genius. We can hear she isn't opening up and singing super loud but rather she is keeping everything small and controlled which is like a spring board to then sing big in the same way - hence the dramatica coluratura label.. seems like singers today don't have control over their instruments the same way,,
Wao !
3:36 3:48
Caballe , Corelli e Cesare Siepi. Come avrà fatto il teatro a non crollare a seguito degli acuti dei protagonisti e delle ovazioni del pubblico. Serate magiche.
Superb. I have never heard a better rendition-never. Thank you so much for sharing this beauty with the rest of us.🙏🏼
The finest version I've ever heard
Adorata Maria Callas ❤️
quelle voix magnifique, une telle emotion ! merveilleuse Maria Ewing
She have different voices in every language she spoke, greek, english, italian, french
I now realize conductor Molinari-Pradelli sped up the tempo just a tad to the end. I wonder if this had been prearranged with Caballe? Some conductors slow it up to flaunt the "Verdi tragic chords" ....which would've made it harder for MC to do this!
Montserrat Caballé is the original Diva. She's always been my favorite soprano!
She’s not hitting a high note at 2:52 but oddly there’s an overtone that makes it sound like she is
