3 yrs to go
Holy mackerel, she's absolutely wonderful-it's not hype.
Indeed!
Such a wonderful new Wagner and Strauss soprano. Just overwhelming how she takes "du wirst mich befreien" on just one single breath. Even natural-born Ariadne Jessye Norman drew breath before "befreien". Lise's voice just flows and flows and flows. Her Elisabeth in Bayreuth was a miracle, the best I ever heard life on stage.
Perfect instrument used beautifully! And lovely to look at. She’ll have a great career and, I hope, a happy one!
Apart from a certain tendency to start the note without vibrato and much core in her voice and then expand it, which breaks the seamlessness of some lines, her voice per se is certainly a marvel with a tremendous potential, and she is artistically very mature and elegantly musical, with a very solid and homogeneous tone. She reminds me a bit of a younger and more lyrical Astrid Varnay (even that slightly disconcerting flaw I mentioned above!). I hope she keeps improving, because she's already fantastic but has everything to become truly legendary.
I agree. Gwyneth Jones could do that for seconds and irritated me often enough if she "hit" it or not. The potential I hear in the voice is enormous, compared to what I hear most of the times. Let us get this straight, Lise is already over Elsa and maybe a good Tannhäuser-Elisabeth which will soon be followed by Sieglinde.
When people start comparing your soprano voice to the great Varnay and the legendary Flagstad, there's a whole lot more going on than just "The next best new singer." Georg Solti once commented: "I once heard 30 sopranos audition for a part in a Mozart Opera; none of their voices moved me... until I heard Kiri (te Kanawa) sing! Here was something very special; a one in a million voice!" The very same thing is happening here! Yes, Lise is very young, but she already has that magnificent "buttery" fullness of tone, top notes to DIE for, and, YES, her vibrato comes in a few seconds after the note begins - Varnay style - just the way I like it! Take note people: you'll be hearing this very remarkable voice - in all the major Wagner & Strauss soprano roles - for a very long time to come; just think what this Norwegian wonder will do with Isolde... and Elektra... and Brunhilde?!! PLEASE support Lise's career and buy her debut album on Decca (which includes "Es gibt ein Reich"); mine is already on the way... we live in very privileged times. MD
Yes! I hope you get the chance to hear her live, it's quite amazing, we were so happy to have her sing with us!
Would move Heaven & Earth to see her sing in person; will try fervently to catch her live in Sweden... or Finland. You need to invite her back for more Strauss... and then Wagner/Isolde! Thank you very much for the wonderful upload (which I have viewed, in awe, 10+ times!). All the best from Åland! MD
I guess you have seen this: STRAUSS - Ariadne auf Naxos - Part 2 - 10: "Ein Schönes war" - Lise Davidsen ua-cam.com/video/L5hL6EhAjzE/v-deo.html
No, I had missed that one... equally sublime! Thank you very much for the tip! MD
@@gardenphoto I bought her CD - beautiful voice!
Great, shimmering voice. It's interesting how she does a lot of notes the way Flagstad did, where she begins with a straight tone, and then the vibrato starts a second later. She does have a bit of the shaking jaw that’s endemic in younger singers today, something you never saw until relatively recently.
At 1.20 min.....theres Wagner looking round the corner....and she'll be wonderfull, but ALL in TIME!
Well said :-) Thanks for commenting!

I hope she take Birgit's advise to do not sing the hell out too much in a short period. Wait the voice to mature before take some roles... A big voice she has, but try to adjust the vibrato, project properly and support the breath (oh God! this conductor is killing her with this sloooow tempo). Another Birgit advise "add a role with more vocal flexibility to help in handle a heavy voice".
She seems to have done very well since we recorded this, so I am sure her carrier is in the best of hands 🙂
What a fabulous,beautiful voice! Congratulations Norway! You have your new Flagstad!
Marvellous! I haven't heard such an amazing Ariadne since Jessye Norman!
Jessey was the BEST. no doubt ❤
She is our new Kirsten Flagstad. I love her voice !
We did too! Thanks for watching our video.
She should sing the Brünnhilde and the Isolde!
Flagstad is my all-time favorite, and she may be the closest one to her...
inb4 snobs saying "WHAAAAAAAT YOU ARE DEAF SHE IS NOT LIKE FLAGSTAD HURRDURR"
@@emanuelschweikert we don’t want her to try too soon and destroy her voice give her time she will
I saw her at the met last Sunday she is amazing.
What a remarkable young soprano!
Yes, she really made an impression with us too! Thanks for watching our video.
She resembles Kirsten Flagstad so much in terms of vocal endowment and stature! I can't wait for 5-10 years down the line when she is finally ready to start singing the more challenging roles like Isolde.
If she were very careful about her choice of roles and building her technique, I am sure that she could succeed Nina Stemme as the next great dramatic soprano of our time.
Christian Ocier Stemme "the great dramatic soprano of our times"? I think Davidsen has a better chance of claiming the title. Time will tell.
doGreatartistsgrowontrees?
Davidsen has a voice that is more in line with the old dramatic soprano tradition of Flagstad and Traubel. There's a golden quality to the instrument from top to bottom.
Stemme to me resembles more Frida Leider, Mödl, and Varnay in her approach to the great soprano roles. I find her portrayals of the great heroines compelling, and her to be a great musician.
No doubt both voices are different, but Stemme has exuded greatness in her art. Let us hope that Davidsen does the same
Christian Ocier I am sorry but relating Stemme with Leider, Varnay and Mōdl is quite a stretch and does not compute. Nothing Stemme has done will ever measure up to the former.
So many comparisons to Varnay--am I the only one who hears echoes of Leonie Rysanek in that glorious upper register?
I agree! Here, it's echoes of Rysanek. But at the ongoing production of this at the Met now, there are some echos of La Nilsson. Stunning!
what a powerful voice her wagner is wonderful...
Her “Totenreich” is actually good. But in general you raise a good point. I ascribe it to the bad influence of Birgit Nilsson.
YES MA’AM! Fell in love with opera because of Jesse Norman singing aria!She’s giving me chills all over again!
She’s also handling the awkward passages soooo beautifully! This aria’s a bitch!
Wow! Great voice. The tempo just too slow, however.
Stunning intelligent performance.Such a sensational instrument .Thank you
absolutely wonderful
She shows off holding the high note on "Herrlich" around 1:20 disavowing the score. Bold!.
The line is “Hermes heissen sie ihn.” Not “herrlich”.
Una grande performance canora
there is a kingdom where there is a vacant space for an Isolde. :( please, come..
Phenomenal
Thanks! We have more videos with Lise. Please subscribe :-)
I still love the version of Jessey Norman a lot more... ❤
The low notes are with her ;) which would make her a perfect Isolde and Brünnhilde in later years.
Wow - What. A. Voice.

Beautiful! That's all I need to say!
Thank you!
OH MY FREAKING GOD! IM GOING TO THE ROOF!
Why the refusal to use chest voice?
Does it sound like the voice collapses a bit and the sound disappears on many of the low and soft notes after which the voice sounds less solid.
Wow!
Wundebar!
Wow
BRAVISSIMA.
genial
Very promising soprano. The conductor isn't really helping her with those slow tempi! But overall, a very interesting performance.
I think she took the slow tempo herself. It's necessary for the shear size of her voice to unfold.
Stunning - in one single note !
Lise is great 👍
Wo kann man die Voll-Version sehen, bitte? ☺️

I enjoy how the three ladies all look stunned.
So slow the tempo ?....
we saw her at the met in queen of spades....stunning powerful!
tfleiter indeed!!!!!
Nowadays anybody singing with a voce ingolata is the new heir of Flagstad, Nilsson, Norman, etc, etc.
...The only problem is, there isn't "ANYONE" singing anywhere near as well as Flagstad and Nilsson today... "voice in the throat" or not... except Davidsen ;) This Norwegian is a force of nature!
Check out Michelle Bradley, she's good too... ua-cam.com/video/wUmNAXRcTvA/v-deo.html
nice singing, but very boring presence.
Well, I disagree. Go see her live if you didn’t already.
An amazing instrument, remind me of Flagstad, … very boring interpretation, she doesn’t color the meaning of the words ! Projection of the sound is sometimes funny , thin , sounds ugly! Would be pity if this material would be destroyed before it’s time !
Her white, croony attacks drive me up the wall.
Feel free to find another version then?
Her vibrato is too much. She should get rid of it immediately because I fear that it´s going to grow when the heavier, more dramatic roles follow (soon). Sometimes the intonation isn´t good as well. And yes, somebody should tell the conductor that he is killing all the tension that´s in the music.
Altonahh10 agreed this tempo is waaaaaaaayyyyyy too slow!!!
Heard her opening performance of Ariadne at the Met last March. She just blew everyone away with torrents of gleaming sound. Hope she does Isolde in a few years.
I’m sure she will eventually, let’s hope 🤞
