    Pretty voice, but this is not right for her voice. This is a Full Lyric Soprano with a sizeable sound being pushed into the wrong territory. The voice is not "Pezante" (heavy) enough for Wagner.

      If Anna Netrebko can sing Lady Macbeth, La Barkmin can do it with Brünnhilde. That's opera mainstream nowadays: awful regietheather and wrong voices ruining repertoires

    Oh my goodness---there's a part where she was straining at the high part and was actually losing intonation. It seems to me she is a lyrical soprano, she really shouldn't be trying to force her voice to have that much volume as she will wind up damaging her voice over the long term. It's almost as if she's screaming. The orchestra though seems to be doing a great job and I enjoy Jaap Van Zweden's modern interpretation of the music.

      yes a good ear you have.. a sizeable full lyric soprano voice- which has been pushed into this rep is what I hear (from the recording)... plus her mouth .. has a lot of tension that is not natural when singing this. Pretty voice she has. Honestly the voice is not "Pezante" enough for Wagner. The voice may have the volume for Wagner, but the weight (based on the recording) is not there.

    Creo que su estilo de voz es hermoso. Se necesita una voz bastante timbrada para llegar a esas notas. Y ademas en este momento Brunilde se quita la vida inmolamdose, ni modo que vaya a interpretar el tema como si estuviera en la ducha cantando.

    Barkmin is not a hochdramatischer soprano. Who told her that?
    This is really a forced lyric trying to be something else.

      Golden memories. I studied with Barkmin at the same music university. She had a huge self-confidence and really heavy diva attitude and of course she made a career, guiding her to major opera houses like Wien or Zürich for few performances in the character fach. Of course this doesn't matched with her wish for the big prima donna title roles and so it was a question of time that she took chance to sing stuff like Brünnhilde and Isolde.
      You hear the pushed up result but on the other side it needs someone to offer these jobs to her.
      Many singers came and gone by singing to heavy stuff for a better career. It happens all the time.
      I have to smile by watching the videos with her as Salome in concert, costumed like an old silent film diva in self-presentation. It seems to be necessary.

    I love concert performances of the Ring, wish we see more of it. Gets rid of the ridiculous costumes and you let you hear the singing and see the orchestra. And what a massive orchestra Wagner uses. Love the playing, do long for the days where Vienna or Dresden had that special Wagner sound with the monstrous horns. Nowadays everyone plays so well.
