    She is one of the most accomplished, intelligent and charismatic singers on stage, not just Wagner. She has had a long, brilliant career. her Kundry is enough to make anyone turn christian. Great artist. Eboli? that would be great.

    Une merveille que cet enregistrement du regretté Lorin Maazel... quand à Waltraut Meier, je l'ai entendue chantant Isolde, avec Siegfried Jerusalem, dirigés par Zubin Mehta, a l'opéra de Munich, au Paradis, qui n'a jamais autant mérité son nom, 5 heures de délices, debout sans sentir une seconde de lassitude ou de fatigue... Fabuleuse chanteuse, et quel travail de titan !

    Always in command of her voice. Good support.Excellent clarity and diction. She sings as if the words matter. She struggles a bit with the top notes, but...
    So rare today. Revives ones hopes for opera and its traditions..

    Escuchando este pasaje final de la epopeya de los Nibelungos se comprende el porqué Wagner es uno de los mayores genios de la Música. Su originalidad es asombrosa. Meier está en estado de gracia en este papel de Brunilde que se inmola por el amor a Sigfrido. La orquesta y el director excepcionales. Una maravilla absoluta.

    Waltraud Meier is superb - yes, she is a Mezzo - I have been told by several Brunnhildes that they are pushed-up Mezzos. I prefer Waltraud Meier in roles which are, somewhat, Introverted - Sieglinde, Isolde & she is a Helluva Marie in Wozzeck.

    Hi all,
    Several people have pointed out that the image in my video is not Waltraud Meier.
    I am a relatively new to the world of Wagner opera, and do not know Deborah Polaski, but i would just like say that the credits on the photo i used say that it is Waltraud Meier. But i accept that the owner of the photo may be wrong.
    I can't post a link on here, but you can message me for a link to the original photo.
    Thanks for your comments and appreciation of this wonderful music.
    Best Regards.

    I think that Meier does Isolde better than Nilsson. But with Brunnhilde, it has to be Nilsson. Even so, this is a great performance and I love Meier: a truly great artist.

    • @jamesmorris1657
      @jamesmorris1657 5 лет назад

      I saw Jones sing Isolde at the Met in '81 I believe and her vibrato would go so painfully off pitch even my companion for whom normally everything sounded 'fine', turned to me as if to say 'are you hearing what I just heard?'. It was a very long night. I agree Meier doesn't sound right for this.

    I like Meier very much, and mezzos like Horne, Ludwig, Norman (yes, mezzo) have sung this scene. But they're really reaching at the end. I prefer for Brunhild a titanic voice like Flagstad, Nilsson, Jones, Farrell. Who is this conductor? Slow and pedantic.

    • @wilsonwatt9283
      @wilsonwatt9283 5 лет назад +2

      Thank you for including Farrell. Too often we forget what a huge and perfectly controlled voice she had. Bernstein always preferred her for Wagner when he could get her. Bing's stupid prejudice against singers who had not "proven themselves" in Europe stole many great possible performances from the Met audiences. Imagine for example, Nilsson and Farrell alternating in the roles of Sieglinde and Brunnhilde.

      @@wTrevorh actually Norman was a Mezzo, when she started out training and was billed as such in certain arenas of work. I have one CD of hers-an earlier recital cd and she was listed as a Mezzo. As I'm sure you already know about Falcon voice type. Norman's voice was always rooted as a Mezzo even though she was pushed up to Soprano at some point of her career. She always struggled with anything at Bb5 and above. High B naturals were mainly unreliable- especially later on in her career.

      Agree 100%, this is not Waltraud's exquisite face nor her romantic voice.
      I am a fanatical follower of Waltraud Meier, and no picture or recording would fool me, unless I am under the influence.
      Thank you for confirming I am still sane.

    • @roobookaroo

      *****
      OK, thanks for the correction. Much appreciated.
      I was influenced by the picture being so wrongly attributed, as I tend to closely associate Waltraud's voice with her exquisite face.
      Also, I don't know this recording at all, and I am listening to this RUclips clip through the cute little Harman Kardon speakers of my iMac, so there's not much fidelity delivered in what I'm finally hearing, and the whole thing didn't give me much confidence to believe it was her voice,
      I wouldn't have staked my life on it, but I would have about the picture.
      You, being able to check on the CD, certainly have a better tool to verify the authenticity of the voice. Two checkers are better than one.
      It is true, as I am listening to it now, that the tempo is too lethargic, like marshmallow, and lacks any bite. I'm so used to Solti or Karl Böhm for the Ring.

      All this is very interesting and instructive.
      I don't go back that far with Waltraud Meier, but I am fascinated and entranced by her, whatever the critics may say. I am in love with her, passionately, like you and many others.
      My only other comparable passion is for Arleen Auger, who died far too young.

    Indeed Meier is a beautiful, superb ACTRESS legend without doubt, but not one of greatest Wagnerian SINGER. Regrettably her voice is not good at all. It's difficult for me to enjoy her Brünhilde.
    Try these:
    ruclips.net/video/kQdw1KGVmVY/видео.html
    ruclips.net/video/kFkVvabMhiA/видео.html
    ruclips.net/video/6bgbPTwJbQk/видео.html
    You can see that Meier is significantly inferior to the previous generation of great Wagnerians, Lindholm, Ligendza and Jones.
