Comments and Reviews


jaimeeduardo 22nd Jan 2014		Track A1 is a concert aria; the remainder are arias from operas. Disc title from container. Recorded 1935-1937. "Legacy Series." Flagstad lived from 1895-1962. Her opera star status began at age 40 when she debuted at the Metropolitan Opera in New York (the same time as these recordings). Ah! perfido (A1) is one of my Flagstad favorites. The liner notes (by John Parry) describe her voice as one of "beauty, nobility and power." It seems odd to use the word "noble" to describe the sound of a voice, but that is just the feeling one gets when listening to Flagstad in this aria. The pure, soaring, diamond clear sound is always magical. All these tracks are transcribed from 78rpm discs, so one would probably need to hear those original discs to really hear them best. Some of these recordings seem to lose their power when transferred to CD, and LPs likewise differ in sound quality.
