lovely performance- wonder if anyone can post Beverly Sills exquisite recorded performance of the final scene- have it on vinyl but kind of worn after 30 plus years
It's so interesting that she sang all these Strauss roles late in her career. Vocally she's pretty great, but interpretively a bit bland. It's an extraordinarily demanding role.
One of the best episodes of Strauss music. And what a great performance!
Brilliant singing surly one of best voices ever
Diva!!!!! E' bellissimo ...
Simply the Greatest
Love this!
So prefer her in Strauss to most of what she spent her career singing. Happy she's taking these roles now.
Just a few allowances have to be made for a singer past her prime but this is still impressive and beautiful music making.
This is really splendid singing, I love June but it almost doesn't sound like her especially at the beginning. Wish she had sung more Strauss! Brava

My Gosh! This woman has defied age! She sounds like a born Strauss singer-
This isn't the final scene.
And. . . ??????

Great moments of opera indeed, interpretively bland. Great Strauss singing requires impetus and radiance, qualities this singer never had.
absolutely stunning but she's no Lucia Popp
And Popp is no Hilde Guden.
Crazy organist
Certainly not, this voice is much bigger...
