The great late Jessye Norman's excellent interpretation of "Isolde's Liebestod" for you music lovers. She's no Birgit Nilsson but she is very good. [media=https://youtu.be/pg_EHUGRgos] I want this to be played when I die.

I never heard Norman in Wagner, but she was wonderful in a Verdi Requiem I heard in the late 1960s. The greatest Isolde I have heard live, only a few years ago, is Nina Stemme, conducted by Donald Runnicles in Berlin.
