  • How right you are! The Brunnhilde to end all Brunnhildes! That lucious ever so expressive sound. But where's the end?!

  • Ya' gotta buy the recording to get the rest of it, bro. ;o) It's worth it.

  • @sorobji 

  • I met her in Munich around 1971 when she was singing Herodias....lovely lady and superb Wagner soprano.

  • Beautiful!

  • La Brunhilde, for sure. I love her almost mezzo-like dark voice and wonderful, wonderful character interpretation.

  • Flagstad, Varnay and Nilsson are my all time favorite Brünnhilde's.

  • Je déteste comparer les chanteuses. Elles ont des vois tellement différentes.

    Varnay fut magnifique, Nilsson aussi, mais Behrens aussi chacune dans son style.. Comparer n'est que paroles oiseuses.. Ecoutons.. Et savourons.. Laissons nous aller à la musique.

    Il faut des fois débrancher le cerveau pour laisser parler le couer.

  • I can almost smell the diesel from the T-34`s...They must not take Pankow from me!!

  • I consider Astrid Varnay the PERFECT Brunhilde; eventhough I do love Birgit Nilsson whose success overshadowed Varnay; Nilsson's voice was like a laser and she had rock solid technique; but Varnay puts emotion and depth into her singing & gets into character. Varnay's blessed with a great technique as well; it's sad she was so underrated. She is brilliant, absolutely brilliant and she moves you to tears

  • lol...yes it is...lol
