Ewa Podles Rheingold Erda "Weiche, Wotan" LIVE (2005) Wagner
Вставка

Erda: Ewa Podles
Wotan: Greer Grimsley
Ewa Podleś, the great contralto of our age, sings the Rheingold Erda. Podles' exceptional vocal qualities are obvious - the enormous range, the swelling, surging sweep of the vocal line, the extremely dark colouring to the voice, and most obviously the baritonal chest register which is virtually nonpareil.
But she is not merely a vocal phenomenon - what really sets her apart from so many other singers is her brilliant musicianship and musicality which allows her to wield her extremely unusual instrument to superbly expressive ends. She is often called a "force of nature", and the epithet is never more fitting than in this role which she might have been born to sing.
Podles' Das Rheingold Erda has been posted several times on UA-cam, but I think this is a different source.
I have also uploaded Podles Siegfried Erda here:

I attended this Ring -- Seattle 2005 -- the whole thing was beautiful, and she was stupendous. First Erda I've seen or heard with whom you can imagine Wotan staying long enough to beget all nine Valkyries. She was sexy, deep, wise, beautiful, preeminently musical. She was the Earth singing in the Universe. Just fantastic!
Thank you for this wonderful comment. So hard to cast this role, and delighted she was as good in the theatre as she sounds on the recording...
I was there in 2005, too! My first Ring, and I still remember it fondly.
Baybeh..YOU, I believe.

Ewa Podleś RIP
This is the way ERDA'S WARNING should be sung.. MAGICAL
now THIS is what Erda is supposed to sound like!
Delighted you enjoyed it!
Absolutely not
@@draganvidic2039then go and listen to Erda sung by Waltraud Meier if you like a thin and white voice 😂😂
@@WotanKlingsorThank you 💯
her voice is huge! Dark, rich, imperious and imposing!
It’s not. Compare it to any dramatic voice of the past.
@@draganvidic2039Ewa's voice doesn't have any comparisons. It's the biggest contralto ever
@@draganvidic2039Ewa's voice is Dramatic... what's wrong with your ears... 😂
Tout à fait impressionnant !
Quelle tenue de voix🤩
Difficilement égalable...
Unbelievably awesome.
Sublime voix de contralto !!!
This was absolutely delightful. I'm so many ways. I'm a great appreciator. ❤️
Tuve el privilegio de escucharla interpretando a Julio César en el Teatro Campoamor
Incredible. ❤
Erda must be sung by an alto, anything else does not do justice to the role. Podles shows why.
She is mesmerising here.
❤❤
Could you please upload or share the full performance of this Rheingold?
There is a video on youtube called here is why you don't like Opera with an excerpt taken from this.. What a shame.
But that video is correct about today’s singing…
@@draganvidic2039but not about Ewa. She is stunning
Is the entire opera available for purchase or download? Sounds fantastic.
A.C.S. 😢😢
What production is the picture from?
In the video description! Seattle 2005 :)
@@greatmomentsofopera7170 OK. Not sure why I didn't see it. Thank you! 🙂
Yikes!
Mostly woofy. Exciting maybe.
But she’s not a witch or troll and shouldn’t sound like one either.
Every video on UA-cam on opera there you are saying something nasty. I'm sorry you weren't a successful singer, but get over it. Podles is one of the greatest altos of the 20th/21st centuries and she doesn't need a real troll's approval.
@@johnbennett1549 Her sound was phenomenal. Those who can, do. Those who can't, criticize. Draganvidic, it's time to let the sunshine in, booboo kitty.
