Probably the "creamiest" voice to ever sing this aria, Where other mezzos manouvre in and out of breaks between head and chest voice, Ludwig attains probably one of the smoothest and most lucious toned version ever.
Sally, why do 90% of TH-cam comments bemoan people not getting the credit they allegedly deserved? Was the entire 20th century nothing more than a credit misassignment era???
C'est superbe, chaud, envoûtant, parfaitement maîtrisé, d'une grande beauté vocale....deux immenses chanteurs pour notre bonheur encore aujourd'hui ! Merci pour ce généreux partage ...
Pas LE PLUS BEAU TIMBRE ..si vous voulez entendre LE BEAU DUO ...FOR EVER ECOUTEZ .THILL ET CERNAY ELEGANCE..PHRASE ..BEAUTE VOCALE INTRISEQUE ....c’est au dessus de tout Mais celui -ci est de haut niveau.. Eluzalyrics
Damn, when King entered i questioned who slays the most. This is beyond flawless. The vibrant voice, on the theatre that must have make the building vibrate with it, it's that sound that penetrates with this brilliancy. These voices are so rich, that's really what i feel the song asks for. And the high B might blow up La Scala if needed
I just felt what Heaven must be like. This is beyond gorgeous -- The two of them, such musicianship, such beauty of sound, such believers and expressionists of the libretto. Truly these are stupendous artists for all time.
Rosalie, belíssima voz da contralto. Aliás nas obras de Saint-Saëns a gente sempre encontra as mais belas vozes de contralto. Ele tinha uma predileção por essa voz e por timbres um tanto sombrios ... Lindíssima área. Abraços. God Bless You! IAM - Zylpha God
Words cannot express the beauty evoked in this piece. My heart is filled with emotion and longing for that elusive true love I have been searching eternities for. While comforting, this music is also heart breaking in its beauty and in the emotions it evokes. The music stands alone. As I said, words cannot express.
I first heard this with Rosa Ponselle and have never forgotten its melody . Norman, Ludwig,Ponseele every soprano even mezzo Marilyn Horne sing it . I imagine tenors sing it too !
Thanks !!! this is a superb rendering , what a rich and powerful voice , combining a nice balance between passion and tender love , that touchesmy soul , beautiful !!! I wonder who the tenor was ?
Auch wenn mir Ludwig tatsächlich zu schön singt, ist dies ein Traumduett sondergleichen - und wir stellen uns nun mal Garanca und Kaufmann vor, die heutigen sogenannten Superstars, wie das dann klingt.
That was the best Mon coeur I've ever heard. She would have had a job at Disney World nowadays, while Garanca and diDo-Nothing would get all the roles. That's the way opera, or what is left of it, works its one leg that still functions, with a cane and a crutch.
Clearly, we've unleashed the bitchy opera queens. Isn't it possible to praise Christa Ludwig without being hateful to other unique and highly successful artists? Have YOU achieved anything close to Elina Garanca, Joyce DiDonato or Cecilia Bartoli? My guess is a resounding "NO."

Ich muss gestehen, ich habe die ganze Rolle nicht im Ohr u. Sie ist wohl stellenweise dramatisch-aber gerade diese Arie nicht u. sie sollte zärtlich und innig klingen. Das höre ich nur bei Ludwig u. Baker!
Very good rendition, yet, I prefer the Russians (Obraztsova, Borodina) as they don't sing in the mask and don't sound nasal. Open sound. Never heard of the tenor before but he is a good one.
Pas tres beau Ludvig dans le grave! Quand meme quelques beaux moments.J'ai entendu Gorr sur scene et c'était bien meilleur.Quant a King, il chant serré et ca n'est pas vraiment un role pour lui.
Probably the "creamiest" voice to ever sing this aria, Where other mezzos manouvre in and out of breaks between head and chest voice, Ludwig attains probably one of the smoothest and most lucious toned version ever.
Agree!
RIP, Christa Ludwig. Thank you for all you gave to us.
magnifique, diction parfaite, puissance incomparable, vibrato maîtrisé, ligne de chant admirable.
Comme de l'eau tiede..
Je prefere Jessie Norman.
Jessey Norman en fait du Wagner.😮
Cette Version est une des rares bonnes avec celle de Janet Baker!❤
Her line is astonishing, and her voice is truly voluptuous! I'm not usually given to superlatives, but this wipes me out.
Absolutely stunning. I have never heard Dalila sung with such round and luscious tone. She is simply incomparable. R.I.P. Maestra!
two of the finest singers of the 20th century. james king did not get the credit he deserved.

MERAVIGLIOSA CHRISTA LUDWIG👍❤🥇
GRANDISSIMO JAMES KING👍❤🥇
Meravigliosi!! Forse la più bella edizione di questo brano sapientissimo!!!
Concordo pienamente!
James King is a marvel! What a spectacular voice!

Thill was a glorious singer.
Das geht wahrlich unter die Haut, vor allem dieses wunderbare belcanto von Christa Ludwig
So stunningly beautiful. Christa's singing could calm the most tortured soul. James sings his part with great tenderness.
Damn, when King entered i questioned who slays the most. This is beyond flawless. The vibrant voice, on the theatre that must have make the building vibrate with it, it's that sound that penetrates with this brilliancy.

"A warm creamy perfection" Thank you Christa.
hypnotic from Christa. Samson had no chance!
Christa Ludwig is just flawless.
Christa Ludwig sings like an angel m James King has a gorgeous voice
I just felt what Heaven must be like. This is beyond gorgeous -- The two of them, such musicianship, such beauty of sound, such believers and expressionists of the libretto. Truly these are stupendous artists for all time.
Pure gold.
two of the greatest singers of the late 20th century. Perfectly matched. Thanks for this.
Rosalie, belíssima voz da contralto. Aliás nas obras de Saint-Saëns a gente sempre encontra as mais belas vozes de contralto. Ele tinha uma predileção por essa voz e por timbres um tanto sombrios ...
Lindíssima área.

Both Ludwig and King, one of their kind!
Bellísimo, bravooooo, felicitaciones.
Bravissima! Ringrazio La Barcaccia che oggi le ha dedicato i suoi 45 minuti. Non la conoscevo.
Bravo!!!, both where superb artists with great vocal talents. A real model to follow for me is James King, Bravo!!!
This
is beautiful beyond belief!!!!
Wunderschön singen beide! Ich kannte sie sehr gut, weil sie bei uns an der Staatsoper oft gesungen hatten
München oder Wien?
Inherited this LP from my dad. Gorgeous, thank you for posting.
GalootWrangler This was my dad! 😀
What a wonderful voice ! Tanks for sharing
Best Samson recording ever !
Amazing, considering that she never sang the role.

While comforting, this music is also heart breaking in its beauty and in the emotions it evokes. The music stands alone. As I said, words cannot express.
The more I listen to her the more I like her
Woooow! The Most beautiful i have ever heard!
I first heard this with Rosa Ponselle and have never forgotten its melody . Norman, Ludwig,Ponseele every soprano even mezzo Marilyn Horne sing it . I imagine tenors sing it too !
Descanse em paz Christa.
Goosebumps 💐
Christa ❤❤❤
She is the best. Ona jest najlepsza. Sie ist am besten.
Bravissima !
Wspaniali !!
Quel contrôle ! Quelle perfection !
Just amazing, heavenly voices

BRAVO,BRAVO,BRAVO
Je vous aimais tant !!!!!!!!!!!!
Beautiful. Thanks

No conocía a esta cantante. Hermosa voz y color.
Wonderful.
Fue gloriosa, En realidad una suplica de amor extraordinaria
Amazing moment. Thank you.
Bravissimo!!
Merci, magnific!!!!
Fantastic! Thanks
Chills all over throughout.
Veeeeery good!
It really sounds heartfelt, considering the excellence of the performers... But remember this is a song meant to deceive Samson (check the libretto)!
se... Very beautiful.
Thanks !!! this is a superb rendering , what a rich and powerful voice , combining a nice balance between passion and tender love , that touchesmy soul , beautiful !!!
I wonder who the tenor was ?
чудо, как хороша!!!
Toll!
Que maravilhosas vozes; onde posso ouvir a ópera completa?
Simply breathtaking! Where can I get a recording of this?
Rip Christa
James King. He sings Siegmund in the Solti Ring on Decca.
What a powerful b flat at the end. shame the audio breaks up so much
Cantants d’abans i de sempre.
excellent performance ! It seems this is very old?
wunderbar gesungen!!!
I just died and went to heaven
Brava Christa, barrito finale di King hélas
Auch wenn mir Ludwig tatsächlich zu schön singt, ist dies ein Traumduett sondergleichen - und wir stellen uns nun mal Garanca und Kaufmann vor, die heutigen sogenannten Superstars, wie das dann klingt.

That was the best Mon coeur I've ever heard. She would have had a job at Disney World nowadays, while Garanca and diDo-Nothing would get all the roles. That's the way opera, or what is left of it, works its one leg that still functions, with a cane and a crutch.
true, don't forget NOTrebko and BARK-olli.

Qu'est-ce que vous voulez dire par: "Barito final hélas" Je le trouve magnifique,moi, son si bémol.

Some of these notes... can they be emerging from human organs......
Orchestre et chef absent comme très souvent...
Ich muss gestehen, ich habe die ganze Rolle nicht im Ohr u. Sie ist wohl stellenweise dramatisch-aber gerade diese Arie nicht u. sie sollte zärtlich und innig klingen.
Das höre ich nur bei Ludwig u. Baker!
Pero' pare sempre che canta col raffreddore..

Very good rendition, yet, I prefer the Russians (Obraztsova, Borodina) as they don't sing in the mask and don't sound nasal. Open sound. Never heard of the tenor before but he is a good one.
María José Montiel does a lovely version as well.
Pas tres beau Ludvig dans le grave! Quand meme quelques beaux moments.J'ai entendu Gorr sur scene et c'était bien meilleur.Quant a King, il chant serré et ca n'est pas vraiment un role pour lui.
