Edvard Grieg - Solveigs Lied - Ingrid Bjoner

[@zariza62]

Wunderbar!

[@goodandplenty508]

To the readers: I heard Ingrid Bjoner at The Mann Music Center in Philadelphia- Summer 1977. Because I was so far away and because it's an outdoor arena, it was difficult to fully appreciate her remarkable voice. I loved Nilsson- who didn't. But Bjoner's instrument was unique. She never lost her upper register notes as Flagstad did later in her career. Her voice was so much like Flagstad's in her velvety edges. Her timbre in the lower and upper registers were so smooth. As the years go by, her recordings are vanishing. She was in my opinion THE WAGNERIAN SOPRANO WHO NEVER WAS, since Nilsson overshadowed her. How sad.

You are so right. She is fantastic! You were honored to listen such a great singer live.

[@dubbelhenke854]

Didn't know that Nilsson didn't appreciate her. She speaks well of her in her memoirs, although she seemed to be closer to Aase Lövberg- Nordmo.

@@dubbelhenke854 I don't understand. I never said or implied that she didn't like or appreciate Bjoner.

Ich habe es versprochen, ich harre treulich Dein!

[@arnoldbusshoff4354]

Ich hatte das große Vergnügen Frau Bjoner als Leonore Darstellerin in Fidelio zu haben. Ich sang damals den Don Pizarro. Denke gern daran zurück.. Adio del passato

[@atligumundsson6307]

As good as it is, I wish she sang it in the original Norwegian. The German rendition does not do it justice.

@@atligumundsson6307 Kanske vil der gå både Vinter og Vår, og næste Sommer med, og det hele År; - men engang vil du komme, det véd jeg visst; og jeg skal nok vente, for det lovte jeg sidst. Gud styrke dig, hvor du i Verden går! Gud glæde dig, hvis du for hans Fodskammel står! Her skal jeg vente til du kommer igen; og venter du histoppe, vi træffes der, min Ven!

dud you need a dsp to get rid of the pops

[@goodandplenty5082]

The digital sound processer you mentioned is a great idea. You may be interested to know that this was a studio recording on a 45 RPM disc, with the Cradle Song on one side and Solveig's Lied on the other. I have one I bought years ago. I sent it out to be "repaired" and even with the repair, it still has lots of pops and cracks. The label has no copyright date or date of issue.
