Beautiful and tasteful rendition, even if Norman is not as much of an "alto" as Flagstad was. I respect Norman greatly for her appreciation of her great predecessor in the dramatic Wagnerian repertoire. Norman planted a beautiful tree 1995 outside the small house in Hamar where Flagstad was born a century before. It was pretty small when I finally made it there 2002, but it is a wonderful tribute that is still growing.

@VivaRenata Sweet story!

[VivaRenata]

@Wavewolfaroha Not a story, really true. I have heard Jessye Norman on some videos talking about Flagstad, and she is someone who really understands her predecessors and her own performances reflect this. Please listen to Flagstad's own Gestillte Sehnsucht Op 91 nr. 1, which I have posted. Best!

@VivaRenata Sorry, didn't meant to imply that what you related was not so! I deeply appreciate the tribute paid by Norman to Flagstad.
