Amazing. I wish I'd been alive then to hear her in person.

[@daniellicristina8029]

Imagine to hear this on the first chair!

[@nickturner4150]

Thank you for posting. I feel so fortunate to be able to hear and see this amazing lady. Gave me goosebumps.

[@walterharper79]

The greatest singer of the 20th century

[@juliustilghman861]

One of the greatest singers of the 20th century.

[@andersliljevall2946]

Here you have a real germanic goddess . NO effort, that came out quite naturally

[@elsalohengrin7777]

By the way she was Norwegian and not German...In the Ring is not really Germsn The rootd, Edda, are in Norway and north...

[@pezlover1974]

I would pick the term Nordic over Germanic

[@michaelroberts6894]

One of the greatest voices of the last century !

[@michaelroberts6894]

The great ladies are on the stage singing magnificently ! As some critic said of Flagstad’s I Isolde - all needed is the great lady on the stage and it is a success😌!

[@YaniiiArianiii_PianoVocalMusic]

Beautiful singing!

[@ORIOVALDO]

Wonderful, wonderful 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@krowapaulinka4351]

Gorgeous!

[@Tiefland1913]

This is so great! Thank you!

[@Lemmax-X-exdom]

Esta filmación es de una película ajena a esta aria, protagonizada por Bob Hope, el presentador que aparece en este vídeo. Hermosa interpretación. (14 . VII . 2024).

[@EmilyGloeggler7984]

Magnificent!

​@@gr__mskVery different breeds

[@GeorgiaTryfona]

Wooooooow!!! Beautifuuuul!

[@rq3tgunm]

I always shut my eyes in order not to see her strange acting... But her singing is beyond every singer of today.

[@christopherczajasager9030]

Today....this would be considered anachronistic high camp😅

[@allanmoore4353]

High camp, really, you do know this is from Wagner's Ring ? Still performed all over the world?

[@autunno355]

Шикарно! Высший пилотаж

[@pippofan]

She is singing, but in a lower register. Afterwards she sang full on in the dubbing stage. Hollywood did this frequently, they didn't want the singers to show strain in their appearances.

[@jeffreymiller4814]

pippofan you are correct. Almost all Hollywood movies were lip-synced after 1932. There are no videos of Flagstad singing “live”, alas.

[@susmateja]

I very much doubt that Flagstad would show any strain when singing, even if they would have made live videos of her singing - when you sing like that, there can be no strain!

[@richarddelguidice6416]

Singing is hard work

[@susmateja]

@@richarddelguidice6416 yes it is! but on the inside, not on the outside 🙂

[@DominickDrayke]

No wonder she's able to sing so relaxed and cheerful looking! Those notes call for major stank face to produce irt! 😂

[@andyking957]

Before I heard her in a Handel Messiah role = rather mediocre /not really her stuff. But in those wagner roles she is a perfect match - her rather hard norse accent in this case supports interpretation there. Norse shield maiden singing Handel mellow role about jesus - nope! Norse shield maiden singing Wagner shield maiden - definetively yess!

[@ivanscotton6163]

É considerada maior intérprete de Wagner ?

[@pabloandresvidal241]

Si

[@Xerxes89]

Is she singing live here or is it a recording with her lipsyncing? Thanks for the clip.

[@j.paulroberts6734]

If she's miming, she's lip synced the house down!

[@jairosantanafigueroa4139]

She's lip-synching.

[@lycomedes]

She's singing live.

[@Tysknaden]

Far too exact for being synced.

[@jairosantanafigueroa4139]

Now I’ve been convinced that Flagstad is indeed singing live. I had never seen another clip of her singing live, and it seemed to me she was singing too effortlessly to be singing live, especially this scene. I have never seen another soprano sing this with such easiness. She was such an incredible soprano. For me, she’s the greatest Wagnerian soprano that the world has ever heard.

[@michaelbrandt5416]

Noticed there were no ladies playing in the orchestra. Things have come a long way since.

[@fan2jnrc]

You mean everything fell apart, right ?

[@wadecook1582]

​@@fan2jnrcNo, he meant things have come a long way

[@AP-dd3xp]

No one cares.

[@syncopate50]

I bet precious few of the men were gentlemen either!

[@jmiller05]

​@@syncopate50That's a bit of a sweeping presumption 😅

[@RModillo]

I know she wasn't the most spellbinding actress, but this seems lipsynced over a soundtrack.

[@Bravilor]

Yeah it was in a movie.

[@christopherczajasager9030]

Truly a parody of what classical music public public was...😊 so American, the announcer...😅

[@alfredogonzalez2857]

That's what I thought. It looks ridiculous

[@CanadianMonarchist]

I think anything that gets classical music before the public is positive.

[@jondavwal13]

It’s Bob Hope. He was a superstar.
