My wife and I met her twice backstage at the Met. She was so lovely and soft-spoken (yes, her speaking voice was quite light), and also rather petite. My wife said, “Is that the same woman who just obliterated the entire orchestra and chorus?!”
Impressive: This is a real Turandot, you can hear that Gwyneth took great advantage of the previous advice given to her by another legendary Turandot (no: not Jeritza!), Turner! And there she is, the higher it goes, and the happier she is (look at her facial expression) in this gruelling role. What a responsibility it must be to tackle the aria in concert facing an audience. Those were lucky! Thanks Gwyneth: You're truly unique and irreplaceable!
Her live Turandots made the chandeliers crash. I loved those stupendous notes she was able to sing (some might say belch). Audiences went crazy about her Sentas, Turandots and Elektras. And so did I.
Quite marvellous and extraordinary singing. The presence, the drive, the phrasing, the commitment and the glorious, thrilling TOP! Bravissima Dame Gwyneth
De las mejores cantantes anglo, MARAVILLOSA , superior a la Fleming, Radvanosky, etcètera. Vaya técnica! Sonidos vocales hermosos, un modelo ejemplar de cómo interpretar esta poderosa aria. Muchas gracias, excelente vídeo.
Wer Gwyneth Jones niemals live erlebt hat, kann gar nicht ermessen, wie laut diese Trompetentöne waren. An ihren guten Tagen war sie nicht zu schlagen und hat das Publikum zur Raserei gebracht. An weniger guten Tagen lagen wir ihr immer noch zu Füßen :-)
Today this is sung by anna Netrebko.... ridiculous ...

Great performance! She even added in the tenor's solo part up to high A# before the final high C-Incredible!
Never knowingly in tune.
Such grand voices are real rarities. She has always amazed me.
Brava! The audiences response gives me goose pimples. This is a true dramatic soprano!
Who could ask for more, and even more impressive considering her age here. Brava !
A VERY TRUE DRAMATIC SOPRANO. WITH A VOICE BIGGER THAN NILSSON EVEN!

One of the great artists of all time!

For me she is the best Turandot ever, Have seen her several times in Vienna in different roles as I was a student.
Dame Gwyneth Jones is one of the great sopranos. She is a legend. I also love her Brunnhilde.
Elegant, beautiful and just AMAZING. Better Turandot at this age than ANYBODY younger in 2019.

Oh My God! Voice like thunder! Amazing!

One of the top ten greatest Turandots ever! Brava!
she seems like a really nice person... very gracious in her acceptance of the applause!
