This is Birgit at her best, great singing, foul mouth, appreciating horseplay. She was one hilarious cool maestra no matter how fast the world was spinning around her. Lovely lady, one of the best that ever entered an operastage. Always there for us to keep in loving memory !!
This is so funny. ... ( 11 months ago by SieglindeMoos)
This is so funny. The reason for this is that Nilsson had to handle a greedy horse in her first ever performance as Br
ünnhilde in Götterdämmerung. During the rehearsals she would feed it sugar cubes to keep it calm, but at the premier she forgot them and the horse wanted to push her into the orchestra pit... She managed though.

Thanks. I think you are right, I was reading her lips and she says the word you told me she said. Thank you again. Mario, from Argentina.

Do not worry now for what might have happened 40 years ago if the problem -if existed one- has already been solved.
Array ( 8 months ago by Prissie27)
J
ävel means satan or devil. And it's plural. So she says "devils". Swedish cursing. It's a pretty strong cursing word. But can also be used for fun. ;-)

This has always been one of my most cherished documentaries, I own it on DVD. It was so unusual to hear Birgit Nilsson coming in off-beat (and all present take it which so much humor), but I never imagined someone would inform me of what she said when she realized she had got it wrong. Her fun reaction to the presence of the horse tops it off. Immortal.

I love Nilsson. Such an easy-going lady, and one of the finest singers of the 20th century. She'll be sorely missed.
She never forgave ... ( 4 weeks ago by ATsarIsBorn)
She never forgave John Culshaw for certain of his remarks, and his balances in the studio. He said to her, "What you have to understand is that each flute player, each oboe player, everyone in this orchestra is as much of a prima donna as you are, and wants just as much to be heard." To which she replied, "And how many people will purchase this recording to hear the flute?"
