Dido and Aeneas 1952 and Gotterdammerung Act III, Scene 3 1948

Reviews of Kirstin Flagstad from 1935:

The voice itself is both lovely and puissant. In its deeper register it is movingly warm and rich and expressive ... The upper voice is powerful and true, and does not harden under stress.  Lawrence Gilman, New York Herald Tribune

No Sieglinde of the past ten years has made such an impression here, by her voice, stage business, her intelligence and dramatic sincerity, and by her evident knowledge of Wagner.  Olin Downes, New York Times
