2 persons have a heart of stone...
I love Kirsten Flagstad, her voice is like velvet...

Songs my mother taught me,
In the days long vanished;
Seldom from her eyelids
Were the teardrops banished.
Now I teach my children,
Each melodious measure.
Oft the tears are flowing,
Oft they flow from my memory's treasure.

@AfroPoli Her singing is here is not in character, it's from the heart. She had one daughter, whom she loved. They had a troubled relationship during the child's adolescence (like most mother/daughters) and Flagstad suffered from it. I like to think this song has a special meaning for her, and the sincerity comes through.

Totally captivating.
I think this is one of the most beautiful recordings of anything by anyone. I also play it over and over again......
