Love the well trained Wagner audience waiting till the last note fades out before applause!

The most perfect the most ecstatic the most beautuful the most sensual. Her love for siegfried nearly blows the roof off valhalla let alone it being destroyed by flames. And sang by the greatest of all time.

The one and only.

I was there.

Old greatness of 0pera.

Sublime!!!!❤❤❤❤

MARAVILLOSA

Solti really in a hurry... I'd be too by this time lol

Das Rheingold!!!!!

This must have been remastered.

Everywhere I read the same thing: "Huge voice", "immense volume" and all that kind. On the one hand, I agree: the voice is powerful, impressive. However, I would not extol him over other no less outstanding Wagnerian soprano. Birgit Nilsson's voice is incomparable upstairs. Its upper register has no equal, but in general it can hardly be compared with giants such as, say, Astrid Varnay, Kirsten Flagstad, Helen Traubel or Ellin Farell. Birgit has a very mediocre middle and lower notes. Moreover, sometimes it seems that her voice sounds somehow narrow and stifled. But Astrid Varnay middle and lower registers are just a volcano of power and volume - here it has no equal.

Who said Zuruck vom Ring?

B

In excellent voice but confusingly veers from severe to loving that is not in synch with what she is singing about. The last section lacks intensity and conviction and is a bit edgy.
