- Опубликовано: 26 июн 2018
- An intimate portrait of Birgit Nilsson (1918-2005) on the occasion of her centennial on 17th May 2018: The Swedish soprano had an incredible technique and was the world’s leading dramatic soprano between 1955 and 1975. Rare TV and archive footage shows Nilsson at work, and is complemented by interviews with Plácido Domingo, Otto Schenk, James Levine, Nina Stemme, Jonas Kaufmann, Marilyn Horne, Christa Ludwig and many others. The film reveals a sensitive woman behind the honest, down to earth, quick-witted artist, who had “a voice like fire and ice” (Sir Antonio Pappano). The documentary was shot at the farm in Bastad/ Sweden, where Nilsson grew up and spent the summers until the end of her life, at the Royal Opera in Stockholm, where the legendary Wagnerian singer made her operatic debut in 1946, and in places like the Bayreuth Festival, the Wiener Staatsoper and the Metropolitan Opera in New York, where Nilsson was the star and box office draw.

My favorite, gifted soprano! The best on Wagner.
Wow! It brings tears to my eyes . Sadly she was before my time . I would love to have heard her perform . It must havebeen unforgettable. Unique. You can feel the power of her confidence and her personality through the grainy old black and white film. I'm so grateful that we have these old recordings on film still .
Man, that ending of Salome... No studio recording brings justice. I broke in tears!
I watched the entire program last night on PBS. I was glued to my seat. As an uninformed college sophomore who loved opera (but was brand new to it) I had the privilege of seeing Nilsson and Corelli in Turandot at the MET. I wish I had known then what I know now--
A Famous horse Scene in the Gotterdammerung recording with Sir Georg Solti
I heard her as Turandot with Mehta, Elektra with Bohm, Isolde with Leinsdorf, and also as Brunhilde in Die Walkure with von Karajan all at the Met...unbelieveable in all and nowhere near equalled since. You had to hear her live to understand. That sound came out to you in the audience like a laser beam. I will never forget it.
You, sir... are one of God's favourites! Bless you, that you heard her thus!
This is why it is so hard to explain to singers today who consider stemme a dramatic soprano.... Nilsson was not equalled before nor after.... Wagner... was writing for her voice... even one hundred years earlier.

Den skånska gräbban ! She could handle everything, bigger than life as a singer !
Perectionism personified. That voice came from the Heavens.
Poor horse. 😢👏
