She had the most rich and perfectly dark yet vibrant voice....

Her voice and singing are stunning and so clear and steady.

I think this gives the best sense of the gargantuan size of her instrument compared to earlier recordings of this work.

Her 1951 Kundry also displays her size extremely well. Certainly she sounds much bigger in her 1950s recordings than the 1930s. The old recording style must have missed much of the overtones in her voice.

Great Scene, great!!! Love and violence, love and power are incompatible. Illusiveness of power, proximity to rise to fall.Debunking titanism, pygmy titans. My absolutly fave scene from all th operas. Flagstad is first-rate, amazing, on fire...P.S. the death of Valhalla and the all-cleaning spill of the Rhine

This was from a Norwegian radio broadcast. Gotterdamerung was broadcast live over three days in January of 1956. Act three, with the Immolation Scene, was broadcast on January 10th...

I remember her in this set to have been much more vocally compromised. Perhaps Act II was a stretch; this is magnificent still. (She made the recording only to benefit her National Opera, if memory serves. She was the Director.)

I think the photo may be taken from a film version she made of the Immolation. I seem to remember that the scene was introduced by Bob Hope, though I don't know if it was included in a film or if it was a short which was shown in cinemas as a filler. Thank you for the video!

Not her best Immolation ( that would be the 1948 under Furtwangler) and the complete set from which it comes is not very good but it still has a lot to offer

Incredible. But also incredibly slow. Almost can’t stomach it after becoming accustomed to more recent, more comfortable pacing.
