Regina Resnik as Dame Quickly and Sir Geraint Evans as Falstaff, 1978, sung in English.
Wow!
Absolutely perfect !!!!
Whoa she is PERFECT for this role!
She is absolutely magnificent
truth
The CHORDS!!!! How we love Sonheim
Absolutely transcendent! THE best performance of one of Sondheim’s most brilliant songs. Sung beautifully, acted masterfully. Just perfect.
Once in a while you can experience real magic in the theatre. This is one time in this musical. A truly professional and magic performance is played here by resnik
what can anyone expect except to recollect...
Regina is the definition of having stage presence and commanding an audience. Her performance here is magical, at some points even hypnotic. Masterclass work. May she rest in peace !!
The apex of interpretation of a meticulously written song . A discerning interpretation of a song that is thematically focused on discernment and the elusive.
clementjl PLEASE put this entire musical here
2:50❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Sondheim asked her to sing this part..............
A century!!!
Having (just) seen Mary Beth Piel, but also Elaine Stritch's final performance in the Broadway revival, this stands as, I think, the finest document. Because first, while this was filmed for broadcast, Resnik was tasked with singing in a cavernous theater (designed for dance, and it's never really worked well for opera). The texture of her performance is astounding and I am sure she filled the house all the way up and back. Singular.
2:50!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm obsessed with her. So brilliant.
AH the lyrics, ah the music, ah Sondheim.Thank you precious soul
Mr Sondheim asked for her especially to sing this part...........
She is the only opera singer on record who sang soprano, mezzo soprano, and contralto during the course of her career. Nothing stops this woman. She was very wise, many sopranos become stronger in their lower registers as they age but they don't train that part of their voice, so as their higher register weakens, they have nothing to fall back on. Regina was smart and continued to train as her voice changed. She went from a beautiful soprano to a brilliant baritone!
I believe she describes herself as a “smoky baritone” during the intermission interview on this broadcast😅
THANK YOU Stephen Sondheim and Regina Resnik!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So rarely do you actually hear this song sung through. Just singular
Well, I ain't sayin' she's a gold-digger...
This wonderful Lady is the true personification of Theater and Opera!!!!
Terrible video quality. You forget because of this great performance. Thank you!
The ultimate version of this song. Glynis John's version is so lacking compared to the smokey depth of Miss Resniks wondrous intepretation. Her voice is a delight of age and sophistication both wistful and poetic.
Glynis didn't play her in the original production that was actually Hermoine Gingold. Glynis played the lead Desiree
@@potroastpig Glynis did the part in a revival also on youtube.
@@michaelbradley7595 oops totally forgot that - ignore my comment lol
This performance illustrates why Liasons is in the top 5 of my fave Sondheim songs. Its just a brilliant piece of writing.
GENIUS lyrics!!!
she was so brilliant, every line is uttered with such delicious PUNCH
Definitive. I have never seen better.
My goodness she is just sublime. She is SENSATIONAL
Phenomenal
Simply the best Madame Armfeldt to date. THAT VOICE!!! Rich and precise. Perfect delivery.
Each word, each note, each gesture delivered to perfection... and always completely natural. What an artist! 🎹
Superbly performed. I am certain Sondheim was delighted with her combination of musicality combined with her excellent skills as an actress.
Imagine having Met legend amongst Broadway pioneers, crazy 💖 !
I wish this broadcast were released in full, because it is perfect!! I’d buy it in a second!
The complete show is on RUclips, albeit in sections. I agree, would be nice to have it released officially.
@@alandavison327 There is a full broadcast also on RUclips. It has some noticeable audio delay but honestly not that bad and great from start to finish plus an interview with Sondheim during intermission.
She was great way before this. She and her sister were true divas.
This is my favorite production of this musical - I really wish they would release it digitally / on dvd. Regina Resnik is beyond outstanding and stole the show from this incredibly talented cast. To say I’ve been obsessed with her performance would be an understatement.
I had a VHS recording that was taped from from the Live from Lincoln Center broadcast on PBS. I loved the production and it is the standard by which I measure all other productions.
Her strength in this performance may in part be due to her own manaagement of her very, very long performing life. She began as a Verdi soprano; when her higher notes started to be difficult, she took a short break then returned to the stage as a great dramatic mezzo; now she using that long knowledge of her own acting/singing prowess to bring superior life to a great Sondheim character. Brava Regina!
Right! She even sang Butterfly (soprano too). She SINGS so effortlessly,and brings the character. Bows to all glorious actresses,but mezzos/altos have conductors and orchestra with them and this makes,well,almost-aria. 🥰
GRANDE ! PERFECT ! BRAAAAAVAAAAA
Elaine was an amazing performer but she was talking through that song and too much actions and too feisty for an elegant socialite. Lansbury is a goddess to me but no body and mean no body can beat Regina Resnik. She delivered this song with that "been there, done that" feeling. Gave you the feeling she had conquered everything and it is lonely on the top without challenge feel.....and also had that "my daughter could not do what I had accomplished disappointment". Know the dialogue before this song and you will know what I mean.
For me, both Lansbury and Strich break the 4th wall and play to the audience, whereas Resnik is completely in the zone and is almost talking to herself (which of course, she is). Plus the vocal quality is far superiour to anyone else who has played this role professionally (that I've discovered, so far).
This is still, and will always be, my favorite cast of this show.
A sublime and unforgettable performance.
She's magnificent
This is perfection.
Repeated from Troy: She is the only opera singer on record who sang soprano, mezzo soprano, and contralto during the course of her career. Nothing stops this woman. She was very wise, many sopranos become stronger in their lower registers as they age but they don't train that part of their voice, so as their higher register weakens, they have nothing to fall back on. Regina was smart and continued to train as her voice changed. She went from a beautiful soprano to a brilliant baritone! Thank you Troy!!!
Read Troy's comment. thank you Troy!
No words......this is splendid!
I love this. Is that Sally Ann Howes (Truly Scrumptious) as Desiree? Check out Miss Resnick sing Not Since NInevah on the Kismet album with Tucker. She was a spectacular talent.
2020?
