I love how the old-school sopranos don’t feel any need to exaggerate the high notes in this aria. It’s not all about that high F at the end; It’s about the complexity of emotions and the feeling of spontaneity. Just gently tap the high F here, And save the big guns for the other aria, “der Hölle Rache”, which is all one emotion only - pretty much just a vehicle for showing off the instrument. Wilma Lipp understood this.
One of the most lovely and lovable of all great singers.
Maria Ivogün was the fabulous teacher of my late teacher KS Helga Kosta.
Eine ganz Große !!👏👏👏

Toll! Unter anderen war Maria Ivogün auch Lehrerin von Elisabeth Schwarzkopf und Rita Streich!
NOV.18TH, MARIA IVOGUN, BORN ON THIS DAY IN 1891. SHE ALSO SHARES THIS B-D WITH AMELITA GALLI-CURCI. HAPPY BIRTHDAY MARIA!
Fabulous, more pyrotecnic than traditionally dramatic. And the photo of Jeritza in concert in Vienna (alias) is stunning!
Of course I know but on this photo she resembles (also the pose) Jeritza in Die Aegiptische Helena.
A solo un año para que se pueda usar libremente 🎉
She was married to Karl Erb
They don't make them like that anymore. She mentored Schwarzkopf. Like Maria more...
