I have to disagree. Her Salome is great but not even remotely as good as Ljuba Weltisch's. Nillson's might be the second best but Weltisch IS Salome like nobody else.

It would be impossible to believe that a human being could make such sounds without being able to see this. No one else has ever sung this role with such absolute mastery.

If you haven't listened to Nilsson sing this difficult aria, you probably never knew what the notes are supposed to be. Every other soprano I've ever heard attempt this, just seem to approximate and imprecisely take a stab at the correct pitches.

Absolutely extraordinary! And no trashy modern perversity in the production. Alas, today this opera is so abused by sexualised scenery, while the subject is rather sad, of an abused child. We can see how attitudes changed since the times of Wilde and Strauss, and certainly the Bible. What a performance! Bravissima! The tenor Herod and mezzo Herodiade are also excellent.

Nilsson truly brings Salome to life. No one can touch her Salome. Her acting is absolutely incredible and it shows a complete understanding of what the composer and librettist wanted and she uses her years of experience to achieve this. Nilsson's interpretation of Salome in my opinion remains the best and is untouchable

She was extraordinary. I was at the Bing Gala for his retirement. When she finished singing this, the audience gave her a standing ovation so loud you thought you were in Yankee Stadium.

@@fabptitpom i agree with the op. The staging doesn't make sense, Hérode tells his wife "come, come !" While not moving his ass from his chair. When salome dies There are 2 poor soldiers that come to stab here what t f it's supposed be impressived, she should be crushed through her bones, under at least 5 or 6 soldiers, as the terrible and powerful music suggests it ! There is 0 mobility in the characters, that is not cohérent with the very lively, nervous and even schizophrenic music of Strauss.

The only Salome who could rival this is Ljuba Welitsch. Her recording of this final scene is amazing -- and can raise the hair on your head.

@Noack Somewhere I can’t argue with you, since you’re looking at the date stamp. But this emphatically does not sound like Nilsson in 1972. More like 1965. I heard her several times in the early 70’s, once in a concert ‘Salome’ with Solti. The sound was not this solid, and she had started belting the ‘acuti’.
