curses!

by | 11:32 pm | May 4, 2008

Has it really been nearly two months since our last “serious” vocal identification quiz? (By “serious,” La Cieca means of course not only for glory but for the coveted amazon.com gift card!) So, while we still have our most recent podcast of Tristan und Isolde on the brain, you clever public can try your skill at identifying 14 singers performing “Isolde’s Narrative and Curse.”

Whichsoever one of you is first to email La Cieca with all 14 names in the correct order will not only be crowned “Irlands Königin,” but will receive a supersized amazon.com gift card.

    Dear hab mir’s gelobt,

    So, cher public, do you agree with Fred that we should close the contest? La Cieca can post the “solution” video as soon as you like.

    #7 is definitely Helena Braun.

    I vote for closing now, since not knowing for sure who 8 and 13 are is giving me Angst.

    Lösche das Licht, please!

    Dear Nell Pozzo,
    M.Klose (Brangaene)to H. Braun (Isolde). Sorry if caused confusion.

    Eugene, I knew you were right and was affirming what you said: it was Klose as Brangäne to Braun’s Isolde from the 1950 Munich performance.
