Fantastic performance! Thanks. Looking forward your "plenty of Wagner/Flagstad waiting to be posted!!!" Please do, ASAP.
There is one question, though, in order that some of the new generations might appreciate, how about the librettos in both German and English? Why Not?

Which is her best version? London '36 or '37? MET '37 or '40?
This could be a favorite though - great recording technique, too. Is it a complete recording? If it is, who were the other singers?

It would be great for younger people like me! It's very hard to find good recordings from Flagstad. I will be waiting for your future posts!

Thanks for posting this. This is truly the greatest performance of this aria. Even better than the Furtwängler recordings after the war (but they are good too).
The voice is stunning for start to finish!

Tristan & Isolde - and the amazing voice of Flagstad!!
I have always been in awe of Flagstad, but each time I hear her I am more and more impressed, if such a thing is possible. In this recording she soars effortlessly, always true to pitch, always secure, always thrilling. Thanks for posting this recording, which I did not know of until now.

Thank you for the nice comment. Flagstad has been my favorite singer since I first heard her over 20 years ago. I still have plenty of Wagner/Flagstad waiting to be posted - including her Elsa, Sieglinde, Kundry, and Elisabeth.
