Though arguably the last of the “true” Wagnerians, Swedish soprano Birgit Nilsson (1918–2005) was by no means limited to Wagner in her repertoire. Her roles as Isolde, Brünnhilde, Salome, Elektra, Dyer’s Wife and Turandot were often collectively referred to as the “Nilsson repertoire.” Nilsson’s voice was capable of flooding an opera house with oceans of sound, which no commercial recording has ever been able to capture; recordings of live opera broadcasts however come much closer to the real Nilsson voice. This book celebrates the centennial of Nilsson’s birth, with texts from prominent members of the music world and photographs of the singer’s greatest roles.

Book Description Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Das Jahr 2018 markiert das hundertjährige Jubiläum der großen Birgit Nilsson. Das nun vorliegende Buch ist eine eindrucksvolle Hommage und Würdigung ihrer zahllosen ruhmvollen Darbietungen. Nilssons Karriere dauerte fast ein Vierteljahrhundert. Von den späten 1950er- bis zu den frühen 1980er-Jahren war sie die vorherrschende Größe im dramatisch-heroischen Repertoire. Nilsson war die unangefochtene 'Königin der Wagnerianer' ihrer Generation, eine der größten aller Zeiten in der Geschichte der Oper. Sie beschränkte sich allerdings keineswegs nur auf Wagner: Ihre Isolde und Brünnhilde wurden gemeinsam mit Salome, Elektra, der Frau ohne Schatten und Turandot oft unter 'Nilsson-Repertoire' zusammengefasst.
