Absolutely superb. Around 1980 I played in an opera and ballet orchestra and Birgit Nilsson came and did two special celebrity stage concerts. It was an incredible occasion. She sang Richard Straus and sang Italian opera as one of her encores.She was extremely pleasant and down to earth to work with. Very humble and no arrogance. I will always marvel at her. She had a magnificent voice.
If you add to this pure, suave and full dramatic sound (a rare and happy combination!) a lot of charisma and an irrestibly nice smile, then you have Nilsson.
She is an immortal legend, either singing the tricky Elektras and Brünnhildes or singing simple lieder, always with the same quality!
Great Nilsson every note shining musically done , hier in "meier Traume" and all over ther title roles Wagnerian and R. Strauss one splendid for ever!
A vocal treasure! Thank you for this rare video. Thank goodness it has survived the passage of time.
