Sorry for the rather poor picture and sound, but this documentary is an alternative to the other docus about Kirsten Flagstad.

This video is a bone fide treasure. Thanks a million for posting it! It contains the only known footage of her singing “live” as far as I know-a quartet with Melchior, Branzell, and Tibbett, and a short scene from the 1951 Dido and Aeneas with Teyte. Her singing was TOTALLY EFFORTLESS. Is there a better sounding copy of this video? This copy has consistent static and noise throughout, which is a shame. There is a silly Hollywood movie of her performing Ho-jo-yo-ho, but of course it is dubbed/lip-synced as were all music numbers at that time

The greatest Wagner Soprano, ever! She was able to sing a forte in a piano, how I call it! This makes also Wagner so difficult to sing, power.And her deep tones, incredible.Her perfect jumps from very high notes to low notes. And so on

This documentary about Kirsten Flagstad was broadcast on NRK (Norwegian national broadcaster) on the occasion of Kirsten Flagstad's 100th birthday in 1995. The documentary broadcast in February 1995 was approximately 58 minutes long and it seems that the length of this KZfaq version includes about 13 minutes of silence at the end.

I had no idea any film footage of Flagstad singing Purcell's Dido existed. Is this the only surviving filmed extract from that production?
