Nilsson is one of the very few singers to observe the tricky dotted rhythms in this aria. Most singers just glide over the notes, turning the dotted notes into triplets or eighth-notes. Now, it can be argued that Nilsson’s voice is a little too much for the virginal Elsa, but she’s musically on-the-money.
The incredible, amazing, phenomenal Nilsson!!
So beautiful . Thank you!
