Kirsten Flagstad was the Wagnerian soprano of the twentieth century, her voice a phenomenon of size and nobility that seemed made for the composer's most demanding roles. This collection gathers her interpretations of Wagner's greatest soprano moments—from the heartbreaking final scene of *Tristan und Isolde* to the warrior-woman defiance of Brünnhilde's "Ho-jo-to-ho!"—and captures something of why her reign over these parts was essentially unchallenged. Recorded across several decades, these performances show Flagstad's instrument in its fullness: the weight and warmth of her middle register, the way she shapes a phrase with both dramatic intelligence and vocal security, her command of German text and the long, arduous musical lines Wagner demands. Whether in the tender introspection of Isolde's "Mild und leise" or the apocalyptic resignation of Brünnhilde's immolation scene, Flagstad brings a maturity and earned wisdom that makes these arias feel less like showpieces than like profound dramatic statements. An essential document of one of opera's greatest voices.
