The Death of Posa Dieskau and James King!

[@meisterwue]

Danke für dieses Dokument ....ich bin nicht gerade ein Fan von DFD, aber von James King ( beide übrigens gleichaltrig ). Als Dokument unschätzbar wertvoll.....es grüßt ein alter Opernfreund❤

[@beqaxojava7872]

Powerful performances from both one, Dieskau's trill and pianissimi are marvelous

E che recitazione !

I was tought it was really bad singing translated music. It is funny thinking it is wrong singing Verdi in german or Wagner in italian when nowadays modern productions are destroying the original composer thought of the work. Wagner himself accepted and assisted to varios of his operas performed in Italy in italian. Verdi wrote Don Carlos aswell in french. Same did Donizetti.

Thank you for the constructive criticism. I certainly agree with you about several modern productions these days.

Don Carlos is perfectly fine in German, after all, it's just going back to the source. And the translation is quite good.
I've also seen I masnadieri in German a few months ago and it worked nicely.
