Title: please help me!!!!
Post by: wagnernn on August 18, 2007, 07:23:33 PM
I need a recording of Birgit Nilsson sang Lady Macbeth (or some highlight arias in Verdi "Macbeth").Did Nilsson record this opera? Who is the greatest Lady Macbeth? I've listen to Maria Callas with her role,but i don't think
her voice is suitable .
(i'm sorry that my english is too bad) :P

Nilsson recorded the opera with Thomas Schippers conducting. It was released on Decca CDs but is no longer in print. I see a used copy at Amazon.com USA, but it's very expensive.

First, I'm very glad you not in a life threatening situation!!!!!!!!!!  8)

As to your plea for help: this might be an option - inlcudes three arias from MacBeth.

And you can get the recording with Schippers that Larry mentioned at Amazon.de (http://www.amazon.de/Verdi-Macbeth-italienische-Gesamtaufnahme-Nilsson/dp/B00000E4VS/ref=sr_1_1/302-8814370-2462439?ie=UTF8&s=music&qid=1187501348&sr=1-1) for €30 .... ::)
