Alright, it's been a bit since I've watched this song with the subtitles (good for me, goofing up and buying the disc without subs), but this translation with the video brought me to tears. I love this show. This is fantastic - thank you, turtleyq!
@TrianonDeMarbre Agreed. I like the versatility in her voice, despite its mature quality. I think it works as well for young Sisi as for older Sisi, and her acting really carries the performance. Pia has a smashing set of pipes, but it's a little. . . . I don't know how to put it. It sounds far too broad and belty for the role. Both perform it incredibly, but Maya is just the perfect match.
Listening to this song pains me. I identify with Sissi in this song a lot. I wish to be free but i an weighted down with my family and society's expectations and standards! My parents have never understood what i want. like that lyric, Sissi saying she would rather be wearing the straitjacket and not her corset. Because the strait jacket only binds her body but her corset binds her soul.
Yes, Maya has a much darker interpretation of the role, but Pia is also good, she actually learned to control her shrillness and beltiness over the years and was a much more focused Elisabeth in the recent years, but Maya had control over the role almost from the get-go.
