Two very very great ladies, who left their mark on the world with singing of the highest order. Everyone expresses gratitude to them for their beautiful singing. Both ladies are still very strong personalities, and are not prepared to accept what their age may impose on them.
About half a century ago I first heard Gundula Janowitz singing Sieglinde and instantly fell in love with her voice. She has been *my* soprano since then. As a non-musician I cannot tell one soprano apart from another. But, I immediately recognize Gundula Janowitz and it doesn't matter which piece she is singing. I just love her voice and her singing. Although I know not much about her, I love her - blindly perhaps but who cares.
Absolut herrlich! Ich wünschte allerdings, dass ich trotz deutscher Muttersprace oft mehr verstehen könnte, da das ständige Rumgewackle und Gekrusche wirklich fast eine Zumutung ist... Nichtsdestotrotz - vielen herzlichen Dank für's veröffentlichen!
Ich hatte das Glück in G.Janowitu 2x in Köln/Colonia in den 70erm mit Schubertliedern zu hören - wunderbar und bis ins leiseste Pianissimo zu verstehen: Empathisch, einfach eine Jahrhundert e Stimme!
@@eberhardthauer3818 das ist ganze Veiret aber meine super süße liebe es war Elisabeth Schwarzkopf....im diesem Jahr wieder so vielen choosen. Es tut mir leid ich habe in Deutsch Sprache und Schrift alles vergessen
@@pelleas9 Actually she does surprisingly well within the boundaries of her own personal style. It is well to recall that Verdi wrote some roles, Aïda for example, for non-Italian singers.
Eine wundebare Künstlerin! Sie reicht wohl als einzige an die Göttin Elisabeth Grümmer heran! Ich durfte sie in Dresden als Ariadne an der Seite von Gerd Brenneis und der grandiosen Editha Gruberova als Zerbinatta mit der Wiener Staatsoper genießen! Unvergesslich
Ich war auch in dieser Vorstellung - es war unvergeßlich, ein göttliches Niveau und die Inszenierung traumhaft schön ! DAS war Oper in ihrer höchsten Vollendung !!!!
Der Zungenrücken soll beim Singen oben sein, der Kehlkopf entspannt oder tief. Laut Technik , bei Janowitz drückt die Zunge beim hohen Ton regelrecht nach unten. Fazit. Vorgaben stimmen oft nicht oder sind eben individuell.
L'Attila proprio no, sicuramente non è questo il repertorio in cui da il meglio di se stessa. Ben altri sono i risultati in diverso repertorio, come in Mozart ad esempio.
No shade, no tea, but...I saw Janowitz in the Vienna State Opera decades and decades ago. I couldn't stand the sound of her voice then, and I can't stand it now. To me, it's like fingernails on a blackboard.
If you feel like that why pollute this board with your nasty opinion. It so happens you are only one of a very small number - most people who love music admire and find something very special in this artist.
MEH.....I have always thought Janowitz a very stuck voice limited to her boyish soprano timbre and some of the more diginfied Strauss roles and most of the lyric soprano roles of the Mozart, Handel ,Hydyn Operas, Bach Cantatas and of course most of the German Lied. And that's it. Anything above an A natural and the voice becomes very, very goaty. The bleatiness at the last top note here is not beautiful. This aria of Odabella in Verdi's Attila is a very difficult composition to begin with and can verge on howley and annoying if not sung with a voice that is centered with an even pitch and vibrato and ample tone. I frankly thought Her Ariadne was underwhelming. Ludwig well ... the voice is a better weight and there is more eveness and she always delivered. Janowitz...IMHO...yawn........
Janowitz delivered a very respectable Kaiserin at the 1964 Vienna dress rehearsal of Die Frau ohne Schatten under Karajan. One would not have thought her suited to such a heavy role, but in the event she did a good job, her crystalline tone perfectly embodying the shadowless fairy of the first two acts. Her Fidelio, however, was another matter entirely. At certain points in the score, her voice just went to pieces under the strain. Her Donna Anna was similarly underpowered. My favorite recording of hers is the Capriccio Countess for Böhm, and in many respects I believe that is the role best suited to her.
I like her very much but I am not especially fond of 19th opera except for very early 19th. mu h prefer voices in less stratospheric regions than beyond A5. You may well have a point about horses for courses. But i would not describe Lied, oratorio, cantatas , 18th opera ertc as " limited" Noone is at their best at everything
Gundula besorgt mich immer Gänsehaut mit ihre glasklare Stimme.
Unglaublich,diese Stimme, diese Gundula Janowitz!
Wunderbar, diese beiden Legenden gemeinsam beim Rückblick erleben zu dürfen!!!

The most boring Sieglinde I've ever heard. Christa... Ah, Christa is different.
And as I child I always was afraid that it was not going to work…
Janowitz could sing so much, from Bach to Bellini, from Mozart to Wagner. Such a pure sound, even w a healthy vibrato.
You are so wright! She is simply a Genie!
Vielen Dank! Ich liebe Christa Ludwig.
Gut so, ich liebe Gundula Janowitz genau so, wenn die beiden im Duett singen( Cosi fan Tutte..)
👏👏👏👏👏Grandissimo voce! Maestressa! Meravigliosa cantatrice! ❤️👏👏👏
OMG Gundula! Breathtakingly amazing and beautiful.
Genial!
Wunderbare einmalige und absolut Stars mit vokalem Wiedererkennungswert !!!
Einfach genial!

Kann ich nur zustimmen! Ansonsten 2 Genies
, die sich offensichtlich moege! Hohe Musikalität,Empathie und- unvergessliche Stimmen!!!
Welch wunderbare Gräfin... so was Berührendes!
A fantastic voice no wonder Karajan admired her. My German is no fluent by any means that's why I wish it was in English please translate
Wolfgang, can you do some magic with subtitles? Thanks
Mio grande amore Christa. Una voce superiore, superba, tessitura perfetta.
Meine große Liebe neben C.Lidwig: Gundula Janowitz!(beide mal hören in Cosi fan Tutte...)
@@eberhardthauer3818 Super

OMG opening with Gundula in Attila?! Love it!
Not an aria for her !
@@pelleas9 Actually she does surprisingly well within the boundaries of her own personal style. It is well to recall that Verdi wrote some roles, Aïda for example, for non-Italian singers.
Wie gut das es Smartphones mit Kamara gibt...
Wonderful as ever
2 Geniuos!
WErde ihre Abschiedsvorstellung Ende März 1990 als Marschallin bei uns an der Deutschen Oper Berlin nie vergessen!
Two great ladies.
Rendition of Attila’s aria is magnificent.
two GREAT ladies
Santo di Patria !
2 Geniuos ladies, what for voices!
Two exquisite Ladies,subtitles please
On the other hand, I worship the ground Christa Ludwig walked on.
would some please let know the title of this aria?
Gundula, The Singer from Mars...
Gundula, mia Dea
für mich auch super frau janowitz..sowas gibt es nie mehr!!
Die Aufnahme von dem Gespräch ist so schlecht -- ist sehr schwer zu verstehen.
TEile 1, 3 und 4 sind auf youtube anzusehn, leider vermisse ich Teil 2!

Bem que maravilha!!!!
Would someone please please translate this!
The BEST condess ever
beautiful
Christa Ludwig is so beautiful my love for her lost somewhere in time
She really was beautiful in every way, even her heart and soul was beautiful beyond measure. She was one of a kind.

I wish I can understand German.
È ITALIANO!!
you can learn german
Sieh da - Janowitz als Odabella. Hätte ich nicht geglaubt, ist aber wie für sie komponiert.
Wondering if she sings in the shower
Der Zungenrücken soll beim Singen oben sein, der Kehlkopf entspannt oder tief. Laut Technik , bei Janowitz drückt die Zunge beim hohen Ton regelrecht nach unten. Fazit. Vorgaben stimmen oft nicht oder sind eben individuell.
🙏🤩
Rossini préfigure Wagner Magnifique Christina !
No Rossini.....Verdi ...Attila !!!
Ich libe Gundula. IT
Die Kategorie Komödie ist irgendwie nicht passend.
Tja…..ein zittern…das ist kein freiwilliges vibrato….
L'Attila proprio no, sicuramente non è questo il repertorio in cui da il meglio di se stessa. Ben altri sono i risultati in diverso repertorio, come in Mozart ad esempio.

I do understand.

I Lombardi is not operetta!
Die Janowitz hatte eine sehr schöne Stimme, aber auch sehr langweilig.
Janowitz schickt uns mit den A's in der Gräfinnenarie jedes Mal zu den Engeln. Wenn das langweilig ist, darf es so sein.

Divas stories are very boaring.
