Mödl was SO good in the early 1950s. Even the high notes, with which she struggled later, came out with ease. While Flagstad sails through this like an ocean steamer, Mödl has such a personal, direct and emotional approach.
SEhr schöne Aufnahme! Danke - und das Buch: "So war Mein Weg" in Interview Form von Thomas Voght und Martha Mödl ist wirklich für alle Mödl-Vereherer und auch alle anderen Opernfreunde absulut lesenswert! Was für eine wunderbare, humorvolle und großartige Sängerin die Mödl doch war. Sie sang ohne Rücksicht auf Verluste, gab alles, darum hat Ihre Stimme natürlich nicht so lange durchgehalten, wie bei der Ludwig, aber ich liebe Martha Mödl! Unglaublich authentisch, emotional, echt! Ich liebe sie!
Kaum eine Sängering hat DAS mit einer solchen Textdurchdringung und Kenntnis des Inhaltes gesungen wie SIE !!! ... Alleine die Prhase " wisst ihr wie das ward " ist einmalig !!! Von herer Emotionalität ganz zu schweigen .. eine Kerze, die an beiden Enden brannte und das bis in ihre 90èr Jahre .. wer hier krittelt hat einfach keine Ahnung von und kein Gefühl für echten Gesang !!!!
There are more ideal singers perhaps, but no more ideal artists in this repertoire. She embodies the character in every phrase - such a way with the words, and that feminine legato allied to that copious, radiant sound in every register.
The only great Wagnerian whose native language was German!! Here I can understand every word!! This is fabulous, I adore the vibrato too, she has good high notes and good low notes, simply excellent!!! This is perfection, though a bit off pitch sometimes. She is so natural and so dignified, I wonder how come it's the first time I hear her............... THANKS!!!
She was most emphatically NOT second rate. While I acknowledge the supremacy of Flagstad and Nilsson, I cannot relegate Martha Modl to the "second rate" category. Any soprano who establishes an international reputation on this repertoire is not "second rate" ---------not by a long shot!
Then it's odd that Furtwangler recorded his RAI Ring with her as Brunnhilde. And that she was a star at Bayreuth for many years. She wasn't second rate. She was in the same class as Nilsson, Traubel, Flagstad, and Varnay. And you are no expert on greatness.
You can be proud of your liebe Martha, there are many spots here where she surpasses Birgit and Kirsten, her diction is better, her emotions more versatile, her high notes better than Flagstad's. I love them all, but this is the truth, she is superb, better than first class!!!!!
"Stupendous" is
a
gross understatement.

I was enthralled with the complete emotional involvement of Martha, Furtwangler and everyone else in this performance-10 stars is not high enough !
Einfach großartig.... Überwältigend.... ❤
Nessuno e dico nessuno ha piu' cantato e diretto questo capolavoro con tanta intensita', emozione e Bellezza.
This is excellent - full of power and passion.
Splendid voice.
eine der besten Aufnahmen aller Zeiten...
Fantastsich, wie diese einfache Frau, die ganze emotionale Vielschichtigkeit ihrer Figur ergreift!!

Sie war auch im Alter umwerfend menschlich super ein glück sie persönlich zu kennen .ich durfte für sie kochen.
Ich habe sie in dem Interview mit Everding gesehen. Man hatte das Gefühl, sie hielt sich wirklich für nichts besonderes!
Martha is a. True Wagnerian.

This pair of artists are beyond the rest. Bravo Martha!
Uno dei finali del Götterdämmerung più intensi, più lirici e più “hinterwelten“ che si possano ascoltare. Danke Martha und danke Wilhelm.
pure power and conviction..Schoen echt , und schoen in sein Echtheit, wuerde ich sagen. Danke Weiche W!
Simply magnificient!
Impressive!
Cool music!,
schlichtweg überragend, sich selbst transzendierend. ergreifend erschütternd
Love it.

Yes, there are: Astrid Varnay.
@@aliena2979 I take Modl, you Varnay, we're both happy!
Modl throws every fiber of her being into this music. YOU GO GIRL!!!!
To think she sang in public for another 46 years after this!
So exciting ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Frida Leider?????
Anni Konetzi, Martha Fuchs, Paula Buchner, Margarete Baümer.
study is important but a voice like this must be a gift from the gods ? was this done in 1953? I wish they would put English sub titles !
Wow
❤❤❤❤❤
Woe
1:52 unvergeßliche. Aufführung in der Staatsoper hamburg.meine erste Walküre
Unlike Flagstad, she needs to take a breath every two words ....
Who cares - she’s amazing
First class cast of charcters. But all the first phrase shows liebe Martha to be second rate.

@@RattusYu: You are obviously are looking to engage in a pissing contest. Sorry, I won't take the bait. BE GONE!
Furtwängler thought differerent, nur WHO ist He against amahhl1971?

Ein Hauch zu viel Vibrato in manchen Situationen für meinen Geschmack. Das sollte maximal ein stilistisches Mittel sein.. Overused ohne Ende leider
Ein Hauch zu viel Geschwätz in manchen Kommentaren für meinen Geschmack.
ein Hauch zu wenig Ahnung...
