Prelude and "Liebestod" from Tristan und Isolde 3/3

- Опубликовано: 6 сен 2024
- The New York Philharmonic along with the great Jessye Norman perform the Prelude and "Liebestod" from Wagner's Tristan und Isolde at the Avery Fisher Hall with Zubin Mehta.
Performed at the opening of the 1989-90 season. Part three of three.
I remembered this broadcast and, in my mind, it is legendary. No performance i've ever heard matches this...and Norman went somewhere else during it...took her time to come back after it was over...amazing to watch.
Yes, you can really observe the power music has over the deep spirit in us, right here. The conductor needs time to steep and reemerge too.

This stands as one of the greatest examples of expression in all of Art. Ms. Norman's sense of self fully dissolves by becoming completely immersed within "the other".
No journalist would have made a better,more elegant and fair comment.
The world lost one of the most beautifully expressive voices when we lost Jesse Norman.
:(
There are no words to describe how beautiful she sang this. For me, the best versions of this aria are hers. Bravissima!
So effortless! And such a vocal range…..I have never heard or seen such a beautiful, nay stunning performer…Her face tells the story with her expressions throughout the aria…. My two biggest regrets are that (1) I was never fortunate enough to be at a live performance , and secondly that Jessye is very sadly no longer with us. Truly an exceptional singer. God has taken back his treasured Angel to sing with his heavenly choir. RIP Jessye, you will always be deeply missed by all who watch or hear you. 💐💕🙏
Amen and Amen...
Thank you for your accurate thoughts.
Jessye. was spellbinding.
Love everything she had to give. Sorely missed.
I remember seeing this great soprano on PBS, and I immediately knew she was the greatest living soprano in my lifetime.
74 was too young for a talent this profound.
No one gets an applause like JESSYE NORMAN she will sing in heaven along side with DAME JOAN SUTHERLAND two of the greatest they won't be forgotten
RIP dear Jessye Sept. 30, 2019
RIP, Lovely Child, but don't pass up an opportunity to party every once and awhile. Your hard work surely DESERVES it!!
I will never forget hearing her live! I was moved to tears! She had a great voice. But it was the artist in her that changed my life forever!
I saw her several times at the Met, but for me, a recital at Carnegie Hall was like something super human. We will never, ever see and hear the likes of her again...
I'm glad I don't know the 18 people who voted this down. Thank you for all the hours of happy listening pleasure, dear Jessye! RIP.
a voice so rich.. this is one of the most demanding pieces, deep and complex emotions.. this woman is really a master, she really holds it all
Scarcely to be believed. What have we just lost?
Jessye is a Goddess. I'm in love with Karajan's version, but this does highlight Norman's voice in such a gorgeous way.
She and Mehta are in perfect synchronicity and harmony. A most sublime performance by two great artists. We will not see or hear the likes of La Norman again.
What a voice.... authoritative, clarity, convicting, demanding and emotional ... breaths were seldom during recital ... She held me and transcend me .... thank you Jessye Norman......What an experience!!!!!!
Does anyone other than me wonder why PBS no longer broadcasts extraordinary programs such as these (Live from Lincoln Center/Live from the Met, NY Phil opening night at Carnegie Hall) anymore? It seems that every time PBS announces a Great Performances program it is always, with no trace of hyperbole,, Andrea Bocelli. What happened? Is that what we've been reduced to? At the risk of dating myself, I miss broadcast such as these so much. Jessye Norman at her most moving, committed and breathtaking best. An extraordinary artist, beyond compare. A true force of nature. Brava!!!
It does broadcast them, but no longer in prime time, as it used to. Now, Live from the Met can only be seen on a weekend afternoon.
Frankly, the media STINKS. "Sunday Morning" (CBS) showed a 10-second travesty, right after Jessye's death, and notheing to do with her great works. The late Charles Kuralt, a classicist, would be churning in his grave!!
I could not agree more. I weep every time I see this. La Norman at her supernova best and Mehta watching her every breath in perfect synchronicity and harmony. Two great artists.
Never a more glorious sound or interpretation.
Best since CARUSO!!!
There will never, ever be another. A supernova.
She understood the words and the plotlind of the opera. Interpretation = on point.
Such a treasure, a magnificent voice, and American Class to the 10th degree.
Unmatched interpretation. Thanks.
Showing the angels how it’s done
What is it about this woman's voice that brings tears to my eyes?
I love it when the singer makes one "feel" the music. Jessye's voice certainly does that here!
Sad, but we have all these wonderful recordings which will let this voice live for ever
Every performance of Jessye Norman's that I attended was like a religious experience... That woman was magnificent! I don't where - if ever she sang the entire opera of Tristan und Isolde - but egad this excerpt was overwhelming!!
RIP, dear Jessye - some of the most exquisite musical experiences I ever had were with you as the soloist!!
I so remember your Sieglinde, the Four Last Songs of Strauss....and the 1989 Marseillaise you sang in Paris!!!
They remain etched in my heart and soul!!!
She is incomparable !
🎹 Zubin Mehta never once looked at the orchestra. He kept his eyes fixed on Jesse Norman...as mesmerized with her performance as the audience was. Oh, how I miss her. 🎹
My God! What power, emotion, and precision! What a gift she still is to us!
The only thing better is her performance and recording of Strauss Last Four Songs! She is sublime!
This is one of my all time favorite performances by Jessye. She is without equal here.
Sublime . The great Ms. Norman brings tears with the beauty of her interpretation .
More than a Singer....Heavenly Artist.
My most favorite opera singer ever. I love watching her face so much.
I doubt that anybody--even someone with Miss Norman's lungs and breath control--could take this tempo when she had been on stage for 5 hours, but boy--does she sell this performance. It feels like the standard for all other Liebestods.
It is

Farewell to Queen Jessye, never forget 💗😢🇨🇴🇺🇲
RIP Ms. Norman ( Howard University Class of 1967) !! You have left a wealth and breath of musical selections of your work!
What a voice. What a presence. One of the greatest.
Jessye Norman nos muestra todo su encanto con su excelsa vos en su magnífica interpretación de la muerte de Isolda. Tal vez, tal vez, la mejor Isolda que hayamos oído.
Everything about this is oceanic. I love it!!
rest in peace. one of the greatest of all time. No question.
Jessye Norman's voice is sublime. She is gifted beyond measure. Thank you for posting this, it's wonderful...
She is absolutely magnificent, glorious !
"In this world of ordinary people, extra ordinary people" I am glad we had Jessye Norman and feel the sadness of loosing her. Yes she is terribly missed already and she was too young to leave us.
Love the SLOW tempo and how she manages it quite perfectly!
i will always love your voice dear Jessye.rest in peace in Lord's arms
I remember this performance, Jessye you were a gift from the heavens. Thank you for all you gave to great art and artists. You will live forever now in what Ruckert described so beautifully in your loving in your song.
Marvelous: Wagner must have written this beautiful aria for a voice like this. Thanks ffor posting it.
Norman is a goddess！
No one interpreted the Leider like Jessye Norman- she was born to sing this style. It is incomparable- I never knew German could be so exquisite-
My GOD people, stand up for her!!! I'm quite surprised she wasn't given a standing ovation.
Karajan's version puts me to tears. Agree 100% This does highlight her voice!
It's hard to find words to express....chills. GOD SANG THROUGH MS NORMAN! Divine!
I can’t believe how beautiful this is!!! Brava, dear Jessye!!!
Very sad day. Jesse’s Carol, sung with The American Boychoir will always be in my heart. She was magnificent!
''Stand staight ----and SING'' and sing sublime she did majestic and sublime Jesse Norman the best of the best !
TEARS OF JOY THE MIGHTY VOICE OF THIS BEAUTIFUL WOMAN JESSYE NORMAN
It was the French and German who appreciated Jessye the most, not only was the US late to the party they really never appreciated her as her talent deserved.
I too, miss broadcasts of the Met concerts on Great Performances. Now, it is usually a play or other things. I want to watch and hear the great music of the Maestros.
I heard her sing in Baltimore now years ago. She was performing something I was familiar with, but to be present in an audience and literally "feel" pressure on my chest as she dropped in to a low register, changed the way I think of voice.
I heard her sing live many times in Madrid and in Vienna in the 1990s! So mesmerizing! So electrifying!
such command and control, a voice unlike any other.
She is miraculous!
Una gran música,una gran voz!
No hay palabras!
After this glorious music there remains only one thing to do for me tonight: shut down the computer and try to retain some of the emotions it caused. Thank you Jessye Norman, thank you Zubin Mehta, thank you Richard Wagner.
Aand thank you gr8holio for this video.
She owned that ! #outstanding
Absolutely incredible!!!! Sublime!!!!! Each time I watch this it leaves me in tears.....
I love Jessye Norman so much. I cry with soul wrenching happiness whenever I hear her sing.
Go the version she does with Karajan that is on youtube. It is completely sublime!
Karajan nails the tempo just right. It's the best rendition of Isolde's Liebestod. Period!
I agree...it is far moving than this one, which in fact is perfect though!!!~
Lol, I just got chills in the first few seconds. Man, Wagner is a genius, and thanks to a woman like this, we can understand his genius even more.
Да , Вы очень правы
That is simply a commanding, masterful immersion into my favorite aria. Such depth of sound, but never swallowed or out of balance. Brava! This is a performance to look back on with much gratitude and respect. RIP Diva.
What a gift for her that strong and tender voice and her diction in all languages, so absolutely perfect in her performance. For me I would say the same when she was singing these Lieder in her swimming suit, she ‘s always a lady
una maravilla de musica y una voz sublime Gracias Wagner Gracias Jessye Norman !!!!
J'étais là! Quelle voix! Magnifique concert grâce aussi au Maestro Mehta!!!
Such brilliant beauty! RIP and thank you
100% purely beautiful. Mesmerising truly mesmerising.
I remember hearing this concert live...seems like yesterday.
Absolutely wonderful !!!!!!!!!
Greatest soprano superbous voice!
EPIC & LEGENDARY. Loved her.
This is just incredible!
Meravigliosa creatura ! Buon viaggio e resta in pace E grazie dei immensi regali che ci hai fatto !
her F# at 7:14 is the most beautiful sound ever emitted by a human voice.
The perfect union of Power and Beauty - the world is at once purged of all despair and darkness after such a supreme moment of musical art.
Absolutely magnificent... top of the top Wagnerian. I wish RW
Would have the bliss of hearing her!
From 4:48 to 4:58 ---every ounce of her is going into her delivery. She is the greatest!!!
simply incredible!!!!!!!!!!
RIP Ms Norman. Your beautiful voice always resonate in our ears.
Amazing, stunning, fabulous, transcending is Ms. Jessye Norman
TEARS OF JOY AMAZING JESSYE NORMAN
Im more impressed by her lower register , just stunning amazing control
RIP Jessye Norman - she was wonderful... unvergessen!
Wagner truly constructed vehicles of and to the spirit and one can truly clearly observe how human artists both transport and are transported by the music's resonant effect. A spell if you will. Were I in the audience I would, like Norman and Mehta do here, take time after to rest in the resonance and to re-emerge slowly from it.
Majestic beauty untill late in the carreer...so amazing.
Floating and velvet.
R. Wagner would say why did I not write more solo for jessy norman!
Zubin mehta is such a treat. So sensative so musical. There so much we could learn from him. Elli Jaffe
Heavenly!!!
Awesome, singing taken to the heights of exctasy.
Jesse, bless you for this extraordinary performance!!! Love you, Zubin, and the Phil!!
So moving! That is absolutely wonderful.
with music and singing like this, there must be a divine force, don't think evolution could have done it alone.
It's a shame the divine force couldn't provide a better conductor !
The great voices live on forever.
superbe artiste : on ne l'oubliera jamais
