How involved she is, splendid dynamic control, interesting slow tempi by the conductor, she pronounces EVERYTHING... She should've done it more often! She should also have done a nice little (or big) German recital in studio early on, with that, some Schubert and Strauss, among other composers.
She did, there is a MONTSERRAT CABALLE Richard Strauss Song Recital, you will find it in the "Original Jacket Collection Montserrat Caballé". There are also a few live recitals.
+Oneguin65 I think they are different, although it might be simply that the person who recorded this one here is much closer (you can hear all the final consonants).
This performance did INDEED take place in Chicago because I was a freshman in college at the time and I remember attending. She was just at the dawn of her international career and this aria was the only thing she sang at the concert. The rest of the program was comprised of orchestral Weber and Wagner. Caballe' sang nothing else.
Hello, Where in Chicago did she sing then? Was this in the Lyric House? Or elsewhere? Was this spring or summer? How fortunate you were. I had repeatedly missed this extraordinary woman coming onto the opera scene. She has remained my most favorite over the years with despite never seeing her in live performance. Yet, how her voice entered with such thrust for the opera world. What a time too as known 'Golden Age'...we will never know again. Best to you.
@@emitch9213 -Caballe made her first Chicago appearance (debut) with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra at Symphony Center in the early Spring of 1966 She was a guest soloist, and she sang only this spectacular aria and nothing else. This was before she made her Met debut a year later in the last year of the "old house" before the move to Lincoln Center. She didn't make her Chicago Lyric Opera debut until the autumn of 1970 in Traviata.
Goodness...fabulous!
How beautiful, young & clear. If we could only turn back time. All the missed opportunities not knowing of her amazing talent.
MONUMENTAL !!!!!!!!!!
Stunning and light voice of her early years!!! Wow!!!❤
solo lei
impressionante la facilità con cui esegue questo tremendo pezzo
Her recording of Salome I claim is the best. She sounds youthful and actually makes it sound easy.
You are not alone in that opinion.

She was a brilliant linguist. I think 5 or 6 languages.
Adorooo a Caballe, era excelente en todo y muy bien logrado, pero en esta obra me pongo de pié viendo y escuchando a Birgit nilsson

@Oneguin65 Not to forget Beethoven's, 'Ah Perfido!' :D
@@Zva26 She made her Met debut at the old MET in December 1965 in Faust right before Christmas.
AMAZING!! thanks
Are you sure is Chicago? Could be this performance in New York, Philharmonic Hall Festival. 17 april 1966? Conducted by T. Dunn.
Entrance line was very out of tune 😂
It is not true that it went out of tune at some point. In her early years she was truly supreme.
