Kirsten Flagstad New York Farewell Full Concert (1955)

The full tape for Kirsten Flagstad’s final concert in America, finally available on YouTube. There are not enough superlatives to describe the remarkable singing in this video, even at age 60. Superb sound quality also. Perhaps most striking is how well the massive size of the voice is captured. 0:00 Schläfst du Gast?
