This recording was made when Juha Uusitalo was still an insider tip at the beginning of his international career. And what wonderful Holländer he was. Not only by his vocal stature but also by his physical presence. In my eyes one of the greatest interpreters of this role in modern times. The rest of the cast range between acceptable and disputable.
Ingo, you've made it very difficult for me to decide whether or not to watch this. For a start I was very pleased when those annoying flag-wavers finally made their exits. I will give it a try.
An outdoor performance, in order to reach what is probably a very large audience, would require mics. They can't be seen from the audience perspective I imagine, and only on the close ups in the video.
Dan Karlström is the helmsman. He has a remarkably distinctive voice and an equally distinctive way of singing the "Hohohe! Jolohe! Hoho! Ho! Ho! " syllables in his song. I have never heard them sung this way and they seem absolutely right. He stands out in a relatively small part .He also seems to develop a character fairly quickly so the helmsman actually has a personality here. I would like to know more about him. The Dutchman's ship entry in Act I is remarkable -especially given the fact it is an outdoor performance. It is one of the more dramatic ones I have seen. There is however, no doubt for me that the best Dutchman crew in Act III is the one in the Joachim Herz film
I absolutely love The Flying Dutchman! Do you like a lot of Opera's? What else do you like?
Bravo Juha!!!
Just fantastic! No huffing or puffing, just beautiful singing!
I love this opera !!!
Matti Salminen is home in Finland the most brilliant Daland of all.

@@bryangl1 Just focus on Uusitalo, saves you some severe cringing cramps. The world is full of imperfections, sigh.
@@ingoschwab5305 Thanks Ingo - I've downloaded it to give it a try.
I hate the modern costumes. But the arrival of the Dutchman's ship is done quite well, and the ship itself looks commendably authentic and historic.
stunning !!!
why are they miked? This is suppose to be real opera... is it for recording purposes?

I would guess that is- Matti Salminen
