Extraordinary: this production, so full of truth, beauty, passion and compassion, and expressed with gravitas, clarity and Personenregie of a quality that transcends the 60 years since it was staged. Exemplary.

Bravisima!! Callas, Sills, Ricciarelli et Gruberova

Incredibly beautiful singing!! No one can hold a candle to Mimi Coertse.

It’s Hagen! A treat to see him.

Katia trop tard pour ce role

The best Figaro I have ever heard....

Amazing and beautiful !!!

Ridderbusch - die Arie: was für eine Charakterzeichnung eines in jeder Beziehung gebrochenen Mannes. So erzeugt man Empathie für „Bühnenschurken“. Meisterhaft.

❤️🇱🇨!!!

Bravo Klobucar!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Графиню разве сравнить с Образцовой?

Почему не по русски?

Ricciarelli is good in Bolena, perhaps a little bit later in her career, Patané gives a vigorous version ❤

14:00

Wait, did I miss Figlia impura di Bolena?

Here you clearly hear that Eva Johansson is not a natural dramatic soprano. More like a strong lyric who had sung for (too) long and gradually undertaken heavier roles.

René Kollo singt großartig und spielt dazu auch noch fantastisch!❤

1:28:31, Minacciata è la mia vita

Ramey’s instrument is his greatest asset & he is in superb form here. However in a comment I made earlier the greatest dramatic performance I have seen of this opera came courtesy of Norman Treigle who, all things considered, has not been equaled since in this role, IMO. The impact he made on me when I saw him in Seattle 50 years ago will stay with me forever & this was 5 months before he died. The timbre of Treigle’s instrument remains controversial for many & is although powerful & sonorous (his opening sound of the AVE SIGNOR is spine chillingly effective) not by any means a conventionally beautiful sound as Ramey’s is. One cannot deny, however, that Ramey, not always the most dramatically dynamic of operatic actors, IMO, gives one of his better operatic characterizations here. O’NeIll, IMO, is not first rate but despite that this DVD (I saw it first on video) is a fine tribute to Boito who although not really a great composer really came through memorably with this Opera, IMO. The prologue & epilogue in themselves are among the great moments in all opera. In most ways I find MEFISTOFELE more interesting than Gounod’s FAUST. A personal view for sure.

hervorragend Mechthild Gessendorf!!

1:15:09 F3!

uno straordinario Ramey unico e raro.

Applaus für ein Bühnenbild ! Wo gibt es das heute noch, wenn ein Schwachsinnsszenarium aufgezogen wird. Durfte die Schenk/Schneider-Siemssen Inszenierung mit Ridderbusch an der Rheinoper sehen. Danke fürs Hochladen !

Amazing performance. Possible to buy a recording of this masterpiece online?

Wow, much much better quality than the previous VHS rendering, on both video and audio ! Many domos for sharing this gem.

Vielen Dank für diese schöne Erinnerung an zwei Künstler, die ich häufig erleben durfte. Ingrid Bjoner, ein klangvoller, ausdrucksstarker dramatischer Sopran mit großer Bühnenpräsenz; und Gerhard Fricke, damals GMD an der Deutschen Staatsoper Berlin, ein kundiger Kapellmeister, immer ein Garant für gelungene Vorstellungen.

This performance is nothing to be compared. It is absolutely great.

Какие образы создаёт! Как утончённо чувствует замысел автора. Конгениально!

what an amazing performance. Saw it live in SF and loved it then. Now even better seeing the close-ups right before me. Recovering from broken hip so can't go anywhere; grateful for pleasures like this.

❤❤❤❤❤

This is great! It's not easy to find such video of this masterpiece on TH-cam.

Una pena ver al gran Juan Diego Florez vestido como el Chavo del 8.

Non male, ma mancano i tre minuti iniziali...

C'était vraiment bon.

Video benissimo ma l'audio è pessimo. Si sente solo sull'orecchio destro e per un opera questo è un problema. Peccato.

Gruberova should have retired so much earlier. She is litteraly a DISASTER here. Her "Era desso" is embarrassing. Florence Foster Jenkins.

Ramey brutal! Extraterrestre!

Version rapidisima

2:25:02 Не дали Герману застрелиться, - молодцы ребята! Вывели его под белы ручки из игорного дома...

Wo ist pastoral ? Das ist № 1

Гениальная певица!!! ❤❤❤
